By Associated rre,s

Atlanta, October :7-President harding concluded his visit to the south today with a series of speeches in Georgia. recommending his admin istration to the task of finally obiiter- ating sectional divisions.
 In two addresses in Atlanta and one at Columbus the President told crowds Of cheering Georsians that 1t was one of hts fondest hopes to see his presidency bring north and south into complete harmony and co-opera- ton.
 At Grsay's statue
 At the statue here of Henry ". Grady. Atlanta's apostle of national reconciliation. Mir. Harding broadeneo his gospel of understanding and good wilr' to include all the world and gave notice that if the armament conference fails to bring the nations fault Of the United States of America"
 Many thousands heard and cheered the chief executive at the monu- nent and similar gathering of busi- ness men applauded him when he ex- pressed a similar plea tor under standing at a luncheon at the Druid Hills Country club. Applause greeted him the length of a street parade, along the route of which thousands crowded the sidewalks and cross streets despite drizxiing rain which ia art of of
 So great was the crowd which damned the Grady monument in the downtown section that many could not hear and those on the outskirts made such disturbance that the President twice interrupted his speech to try to quiet them. The noise com tinued, however, so that Mir. Harding had to tax his voice to make 1t carry even to those nearby. At last a force of police reserves joined the soldiers and cadets assigned to preserve order.
 Tendered Reception
 Following his address the President was escorted to the Georgian Terrace hotel, where he was rendered a short reception before his special train de- parted for Washington.
 The Presidents visits to Atlanta and Columbus followed an early morning stop at the infantry school at Camp Benning, where the chief executive saw realistic demcrstrav tion of an nsJnfAntFy attack in whtchs aiisths forms of fire of real warfxrs were brought into play.

West Virginia Operators Re- fuse to Deal With United Mine Workers When Pro-
 gramme Is Resubmitted
Ny Associated Free.

washington, October z7.--Peacs moves of the West Virginia union miners were baked here today by the definite refusal of the mine operators to deal with the United Mine Work CTS when the miners programme of settlement was iresubmitted before the Senate committee investi gating the mine disorders, Counsel Tor the mire owners Announced an "unalter- able"5stapd on the question.
 The pfoEfAfnnes srst hroakn<cs Monday by Phifsip Murray. vice r,rsss- icent of the United Mine workers involved the use of the mediatcry of- Aces of the Investigating committee and the appointment by Chief Justice Taft. If an agreement, was reached, of an administrator to carry out the settlement. Frank P Walsh, head of the miners legal staff. called the programme to the attention of the committee again today and the op- orators refusal was reiterated in un- mistakablc terms by 2 T. vinson. their chief counsel
 Develops Another Phase
 The hearing also developed another phase of the operators contentious in the declaration by William Fl. Coolidge of Boston. an operator, and one of their lawyers. that Congress could obviate many of the indus trial controversies by refraining from the enactment of what he described as class legislation.
 '"stop class legislation.' Mir. Coo lidgc said. and much of the trouble will cease"
 Mir Coolidge asserted that. in his orin.cn. Congress had passed toe many laws which were discriminz- tcry, and cited appropriation meas ures. which. he declared. had nulli- fled the antitrust laws so far as labor and farmer organizations were funds 10 appropriated could be used for their prosecution.
 Only Issue in Case
 Eiaborating on the refusals of the operators to discuss the unions peace terms. Mir Coolidge declared that the Murray plan brought forward the only issue in the case.
 'This Is only one issue which re- quires the committees attention" he said. Shall the United Mine Work CTS get possession of the remaining mines. and. as in Great Britain. be able to stop all industry and starve the people or tne country tO DeBlH then emulation of wage increases until 1t will not be worth while for anybody to own the mines"
 During his discussion of alleged activifies of union representatives in West Virginia. MT. Coolidge ex- pressed the opinion that the United Mine Workers' organization would be held to be criminal conspiracy by the United tSates supreme court if the question were ever brought before the court
 Don Chain, sheriff of Logan coun- ty. who has figured in much in re- sponse to Senator Kenyon as to tho practice of permitting operators to the salaries of deputy gheriffs guarding their properties. upheld the system as the only method by which law and order could be maintained in his locality. The sher-, If declared that most persons in Logan county were willing for the operators to bear the expense rather than nave the taxes raisedI and ttat the financial status of the cnanty would hardly permit an in- crease in the tax levy.

CURIOUS EFFECTS Of L'a'AT
More Sunlight on Southwest Side Of
Tree Causes Wood to Be Harder
and Limbs Shorter.

The fact that there IS more sun.
light on the southwest side Of a tree
causes the wood to be harder, the
limbs shorter, and less weight Of tree
on that side of the trunk than on the
opposite side.
The difference in weight between
the southwest and northeast sides Of
the tree causes the tree to lean to the
northeast, when the tree stands singly,
so as to get the full amount Of light
on all sides.
The same effect may be secured in
a greenhouse, or where the light and
temperature may be controlled. A po'
tato sprout in the cellar may be two
or three feet long from food taken
from the tuber, but It may contain no
more dry matter than a growth Of q
few inches from the same food mate
rails, when grown in the light.

3. r. FELTS MADE PRESIDENT
OF COMMERCIAL BANK

At the annual meeting of the Board
Of Directors Of the Commercial Bank
of Arcadia, on January 18th, 1921, {
change in the persOnel of some of the
, officers was made. B. r. Felts was
unanimously elected active president
of the bank. Mr. J. W. Sherard, one
of Arcadia foremost business men ana
fnanciers, who has been president Of
the Commercial Bank for some years
was made chairman of the Board Of
Directors, a responsible position, anG
one to which he is especially fitted
Mr.. Felts began his career in the
banking business about the year 1906
and his success is manifested by the
fact that he now Leads one of on"
strongest financial institutions. He
has a keen insight into matters per
tanning to finances, and this combined
with his unquestioned integrity, a
genial disposition and affable nature
has rendered his services TO the Com
mercial Bank indispensable and has
merited the confidence of the public.
Fred W. Pentecost was elected 6
member Of the Board of Directors. and
they are to be complimented on being
able to secure his services in this
responsible position. Mr.. Pentecost is
a man Of affairs, large property
owner and successful fnancier. TAX
ing the new directorate and the official
family OF the Commercial Bank as a
whole, there is no institution in thi.
section that can boast of a stronger or
cleaner set of men.
IL Will De remembered by the read
ers Of the Democrat that this bank for
merly occupied what is now the post
office building, which a few years ago
became inadequate. The corner build
Ing where it is now located was Dur
chased and new quarters were estab.
llshed' and at that time many improve
ments were made. In keeping with
the growth Of Arcadia and the pro-
gress OF the bank, they have recently
added another story, which is occupied
by Golf 4 Barnette, attorneys, and the
Bienville Abstract Co.
