Ocean Travel
Again Is Heavy

that of last year, and not until late
summer, when American tourists be-
gin to return, will the trend turn.
First-class arrivals have been 1880.
against $4,000 last year; second class
have been 81, 600, against SO, 100: third
class have been only 1851, compared
with 210,700 in 1921. The discrep-
ancy this year is due in all three
classes TO the immigration law. which
was not in effect in the spring of
1921. Many incoming aliens Use first
and second cabins as well as the
steerage. 1t is the belief of the steam
ship men that this act has cut off
what would have been a new record
for transatlantic passenger business.
The figures given here do not include
sailings from Montreal, which are an
important factor.
The International Mercantile Ma
rine company, including the White
Star, Red Star and American lines,
reports a considerable increase in
business, especially on its monster
ships going to Channel ports. The
American line vessels 20 Hamburg are
sailing full, carrying four times as
many passengers as last year. Con
siderable space is available on the
Red Star line and the White Star
services to Liverpool Bookings from
Montreal and Philadelphia are far
ahead of last year. Business is well
up to expectations.
The most favorable report was re-
ceived from the United States lines
operating shipping board vessels,
where it was said that all ships, on
the Bremen and London service. are
practically full in first and second
cabins, but that in some instances ac-
commodations can be obtained.
Medium Ships DO Good Business.
At the offices of the United Amer
lean lines it was said that the Reso-
lutte and Reliance are sailing nearly
full in first and second cabins, while
the third-class quarters are fairly
well booked. The medium ships of
the United American and the Ham
burg-American We're reported to be
doing good business.
The Cunard-Anchor lines reported
an increase in traffic, but pointed that
as a result of heavy additions of new
tonnage this year it can accommo-
date still greater gain in travel.

PEACH COUNTY BILL
AGAIN ON CALENDAR

Peach county, proposed to be Gre
ated from portions Of Houston and
Macon counties, with Fort Valley as
the county seat, won it's way to the
calendar of the house Of representa-
tives Monday afternoon, when the
house disagreed to the adverse re-
port on the bill by the constitutional
amendments committee.
This action has the effect Of re-
storing the bill IT, - house calen-
dar so that it can come to vote
in the house, and supporters of the
bill express confidence that it will
muster the two-thirds vote necessary
to pass. It passed the senate last
year. If it passes the house at this
session it will go before the people
as a proposed constitutional amend
ment in the general election.
Representative Emmett Houser, of
Houston, spoke for the bill at the
afternoon session. He asked the
house to disagree to the committees
adverse report so that the bill could
come before the house on its merits.
He said his arguments for creating
Peach county would be presented
when the final vote came on.
Representatives Robinson, Of Ma
con, and Greene, of Jones, vigor-
ously opposed the bill, asking the
house to kill it by agreeing to the
committees adverse report. Mr..
county are overwhelmingly opposed
to giving off territory to create
Peach county. Mr.. Greene declared
the portion of Houston county to be
left after creating Peach county
would be so small in population and
tax values as to make it extremely
doubtful whether the county could
support itself. 81 seriously question
whether Houston county can func-
ton if you cut off the richest por.
ton of it to create Peach county,,
he said.
Other measures of the afternoon
session were a senate bill authorlz'
ing the federal government to pro-
tect game and fish in the northeast
Georgia forest reserve, senate Dill
providing an additional ground Tor
revoking licenses OF hablllty lnsur-
ance companies, and senate resoiu-
ton directing the governor to take
steps to establish definitely the line
between Georgia and Tennessee on
the northwest corner of Georgia. All
of these were passed by the house.

Governor Advocates
Measure Allowing
State Credit Unions

Governor Hardwick on Tuesday
sent to the house and senate a spe-
cial message urging the passage of
bill now pending which authorizes
the formation of credit unions in
this state.
The governor pointed out that
credit unions to conserve the say
ings of employees in industry and
elsewhere have been wonderfully
successful in Europe, Canada, and in
the state of Massachusetts, New
York, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Texas and others. He pointed
out that approximately 10000 peo-
pie with savings aggregating $4,000
900 have been enrolled as members
of the credit unions of Massachu-
sets.
Mr.. Hardwick pointed out that
this plan to encourage small saw
ings has received the Endorsement of
the federal government and of bank,
ers and business men.
