MORPHINE FOUND
IN RAID HERE IS
VALUED AT $4,000

Federal narcotic inspectors 'raided
the apartment Of Fred G. Bond, at
Al East Merritts avenue, Thursday
morning and confiscated imported
Spanish morphine valued at upwards
of $4,000. Bond was held under 81, 900
bond by United States Commissioner
Colquitt Carter. He is said to have
the Bank of Lithonia.
Bond, confessed addict of the
drug, declared he was in possession
of the morphine for his personal
use and not for commercial purposes.
He told the commissioner he bought
the supply on Blocker street in New
York last July, paying s45 an ounce,
and that the peddlers who sold 1t
to him extorted 5000 additional from
him Immediately after the sale under
threats of turning him over to the
police.
Narcotic Officer Y. T. Allen and
inspectors E. E. Dixon and T. B.
Harris made the raid. They testified
that scales found in the room and
information given them by persons
residing nearby, indicated Bond had
been retailing the morphine. They
offered no definite evidence Of any
sales, but declared they had been
told by "dopes" that morphine could
be bought from Bond at $125 an
ounce.
Commissioner Carter said he doubt
ed the truth of Bonds statement
that the narcotics were only for his
personal consumption. -
Bail was fixed at $1,000. IF there
were any evidence of sale would
make it much heavier" said the
commissioner. ".It certainly seems
unreasonable that you should nave
bought this much morphine for your
own use"
Bond pleaded for lighter bond,
declaring the bond assessed was pro
hibitiye. 1T have nothing but 81

Witnesses stated the defendant mas

NATION S BUSINESS
IS SAFELY PAST
CRITICAL PERIOD
w. P. G, Harding Says Re-
serve System Has Enabled
Country to Avoid Serious
Crisis

WINSTON-S N. c., Jan. ri.
Governor w. P G. Harding, of the
federal reserve board, in an address
here today before members of the
Winston-Sa Salem Chamber of Com
merce, said he believed develop
ments of the past thirty days have
convinced even those who are never
so happy as when miserable. that
not only has all danger of a great
financial crisis or money panic been
safely over the most critical and
passed, but that business generally is
trying stage of the readjustment
period.
Heretofore" he said, following
periods of artificial expansion the
reactions that have come have usu-
ally been sharp and sudden. accom-
panied by money panics. Nothing
of the sort has occurred in the pres
emit readjustment period. Wh1le
many predictions were made that an
old-fashioned panic was inevitable.
1 never once doubted the ability of
federal reserve system to prevent
any such condition.
1.-THE decline in prices was neces-
sarily disastrous to those producers
who had gone heavily into debt
with the expectation that the level
of prices. which existed year ago
would be sustained or even advanced,
and in many individual cases great
losses will be suffered, but so far
as the community as whole is con-
cerned there is no question of SOL
vency.
I'm working out he situation, it is
necessary that those who have ex-
tended credits should exercise pa
thence, moderation and forebearance
in cases where debtors show them
selves to be worthy of confidence
and are willing to meet reasonable
requirements.
az have observed no disposition on
the part of the banks to force col
lections by foreclosures or otner
drastic means except as last resort
There are signs everywhere Oh
revival of business in the spring
Tonight Governor Harding Will DC
entertained at a dinner at which
number of prominent business men
will be present. He will then return
