LIFTED THEMSELVES
BY BOOT STRAPS
MARVELLOUS HAS BEEN THE
TRANSFORMATION OF THE
SOUTH IN PAST YEAR.

ATLANTA.-It has been a marvel
Gus transformation from near bank
ruptcy in 1920-21 to comparative pros
perity in 1922-from 10-cent cotton
and despair to 25-cent cotton and
good cheer-in the face of Europe's
scanty purchases, according to Allan
ia business men.
The South Has Done 1t.
Forrest Adair, ST., says it is not a
miracle. Mr.. Adair keeps in close
touch with the investment world, the
real estate market and business gen.
orally throughout the entire country
through the extensive connections Of
the Adair Realty and Trust Company
of Atlanta, of which he is the head.
1t has the distinction of being the
oldest company OF its kind in America.
1t isn't marvellous, this transforma-
ton, Mr.. Adair points out, when one
comes to think of it, when one anal
Yves it and understands it. There
has been no miracle. Nothing has been
created by fiat or government.
The south itself has done it. The
people have lifted themselves by their
bootstraps, as it were That is, being
thrown back upon their own resource
es, the southern folk were compelled
to depend upon themselves, to bring
into play their own ingenuity and they
have succeeded in:
|. Adjusting supply to demand;
g. Financing and marketing intelli-
gently; and
3. improvising new methods OF
credit to take the place OF detaulted
methods of pre-war days.
All Had a Part.
1t was all the joint accomplishment
OF farmers. merchants and bankers OF
the south. who in their necessity dis
covered and put into use talents and
facilities not before realized. 1t has
been a costly but valuable expert
ence. That is, it will prove OF nesti-
mable value if the south takes the les
son to heart, if it maintains the prac-
tees and instrumentalities OF the
achievement and perseveres in selt-re-
lance, business men here say.

ARCTIC OCEAN is
GROWING WAR MER
STRANGE STORIES FROM THE
NORTHERN REGIONS OF ICE
MELTING ARE VERIFIED.

WASHINGTON.-Strange reports
of alleged vagaries of the Gulf stream,
during the last three months, had an
added impetus here when a report was
received by the department OF COM
merce from U. S. Consul Isst at Ber-
gen, Norway, stating that the Arctic
ocean is getting warmer.
Isst said the water OF the far north
ern ocean has become so appreciably
warmer that seals are retiring to re-
cesses of the polar ice caps, far from
the usual hunting grounds. Ice masses
are disappearing, glaciers are melting
and fish, never before known so tar
north, are appearing in increasing
quantities.
DR.. Hoel, geologist OF the Universe
tv of Norway, the report stated, has
lust returned to Norway from an eX-
petition into the Arctic circle. He re-
ported that he encountered scarcely
any ice and his soundings to a depth
of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf
stream very warm as far north as 81
degrees, Fl minutes.
An arctic fisherman, Isst said, who
has sailed the oceans for "a years, de-
clared that conditions in the tar north
have been growing steadily warmer
since 1918. At many points, 1t is said,
glaciers have disappeared, leaving on
iy moraites of earth and stone. White
fish have practically disappeared, their
places being taken by vast shoals of.
herring and smell fish accustomed to
moderately warm water. Seal hunters,
ne reports, are on the verge OF despair,
saving that seals have retreated to the
colder waters near the pole.

STARTS CRUSADE ON
CHRISTMAS LIQUOR
DRINKERS IN HOMES TO ALSO
BE UNDER WATCH, SAYS
FEDERAL DRY CHIEF.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A wide fight
against the liquor traffic during the
Christmas season. directed against liq-
uor in the homes as we'll as against the
sale and transportation, will begin in
Georgia Immediately as a result of the
visit to the state OF Commissioner r.
H. Haynes, federal dry chief.
All agents working under Fred D.
Dismuke were called to Atlanta for
the meeting. They left for their re-
spective localities with instructions to
direct a vigorous and relentless cam
paign against holiday liquor.
1T is no secret that the liquor traf-
fic goes on more fagrantly during the
Christmas season." Mn Dismuke said.
Constructions have been issued to the
men to push the fight and clean up
the Christmas sale"
Liquor in Home.
This will include a campaign
against liquor in the home as well as
against possession in quantity and sell
ing" said Mr.. Dismuke.
The man who has whisky in his
home illegally-and under the Georgia
laws possession of liquor anywhere
within the state is illegal-is subject
to prosecution. 1t is up to the individ-
ual to prove that it was legally obtain
ed before the passage of the Volstead
act. The natural assumption of course
is that it was not legally held"
No Comment on Governors Speech.
Commissioner Haynes declined to
discuss the governors statement de
1ivered at a luncheon at which he was
honor guest other than to say he was
interested but that he had nothing to
do with the subject under discussion
But in the light of the governor
statement these words, delivered by
the commissioner, are significant.
"A very serious difficulty in con-
nection with the prohibition law en-
forcement work is the surprising at
titude OF many in official and private
life. When men OF standing and inhu-
ence do things which they know are
in defiance OF the law and constitu-
ton there is reason for grave con-
Germ"
The records show" he said, that
Georgia has done more work per man
than any state in the union. The con-
dition in the south, according to Com
missioner Haynes, is better than II
anv other section of the country, re-
ports to the contrary"
The commissioner expressed pleas
ure at the Georgia laws.

AUTO HITS AUTO
 IN ODD ACCIDENT
Halloween Prank Causes Trolley Car to Run Wild and Bump Into
 Automobiles.

A Halloween prank. which turned out to be of a serious nature, was played last night at the corner of West Main and Liberty streets. Motor-
 man James Malloy, in charge of . one-man car. had been bothered all the evening by removing waste cans sticks, stones and other articles placed on the tracks by boys and when he stepped off at one time to take away a can, a younEster crept up behind the car and pulled the trolley pole off the wire. This caused the car to roll slowly down the tracks with the result that it struck an automobile owned by Ernest Nelson of Cherry street. The automobile in turn crashed into one owned by pr. J. F. Faulkner and this rammed against one owned by Michael Gluckowski.
 All three of the cars were damaged more or less. The Dodge sedan of Dr. Faulkner had lenders bent, the Nelson car the tenders and radiator. and similar damages to the Gluck- owski auto.
 When the trolley car started to roll down the slight grade near Lib- erty street, the motorman was on his way chasing the youngster who had placed the ash can on the tracks and he did not see the crash. He return ed later to find the havoc which had been wrought and three autoists very indignant over the condition of their CATS The hoy got AWAY and the Connecticut company Is without any information as to who started the trouble.
