Millions OF Homes
Go Up This Year
New Construction Is Now Under
Way Practically Everywhere-Pron,
inent Atlanta Realtor Talks.

Atlanta, Gait Is evident, from new
construction that is now we'll under
way practically everywhere, that lo23
VIII make business and home-build-
ing record to match-and probably to
exceed that of 1922, according to f.
cures compiled by the Adair Realty
and Trust Company OF Atlanta. which
does national business in connection
with its chain lease department.
Forrest Adair, ,Sr., head of the real
ty and trust company, from figures
IN hand, says that the total amount
OF new construction in the United
States in 1922 probably exceeded five
billions. And of the sum it is estim-
ated that half was spent in the build
ing OF resldences--two and a half bill
lions worth of homes
Mr.. Adair agrees with statements
made by local newspapers that the
real promised land" is land of homes
and home owners, with an ideal citi-
zenshhip working always for the well
fare of ALL
"Yet," said Mr.. Adair, "out of over
twenty-four million homes in the Unit
ed States more than ffty-four per
cent are rented homes Looking at the
country as whole as it is possible to
do in other tables of figures it can be
seen that in spite of this tendency of
rented homes in increase in proper
ton to owned homes there are Sec
tions of the country that have success
fully combated this. Own Your Own
Home campaigns in Atlanta and in 9th
er sections of the South have done
wonders along this line The Adair
company has sought in every way to
encourage home building by loans in
larger proportion than is usually made
for this purpose, and this will be con-
tinued throughout the year not only
in Georgia but in various other sou
thern states in which we have repre-
sentatives."

Lions Club Hold
Regular Session
Business and Visitors Feature Weekly
Luncheon at Empire Hotel

Business and visitors featured the
weekly luncheon at the Lions Club,
Tuesday at the Empire Hotel. After
the singing of America, and the rem
1cring OF the invocation by Sam Story
the large crowd began on the fine
luncheon that was before them. After
allowing a few minutes for this nee
essary part of the program, the Sec
retary read few bills, which were al
lowed and read several coinmunica-
tions, among which, was an invitation
from the Lions Club of Savannah, for
the entire Club of Fitzgerald to visit
them on the occasion of the District
Convention which meets there IN May.
The president then took up some
business matters of interest to the
Club. He urged them to talk LiomisnI
all the tirne, to read their monthly
magazine SO that they might become
imbued with the spirit of the organiza-
ton themselves 1t was also decided
to secure additional members to fill
up the quota and each member was
requested to see some friend who was
worthy to become a member and Sc
cure his application. The Club then
had a few minutes devoted to learning
some new songs. Although anyone
familiar with Grand Opera could cas-
i1y detect the difference between the
Club singing and the other, still they
did extra fine for a bunch of wild
Lions, lust out of tine jungle.
No doubt when they have been in
captivity for wfiTe longer they will
improve in this respect. The attend
ance prize, given by President Adams,
a BOX of cigars, were awarded to
Arthur Smith.
S. G. Pryor Jr:,. gave an interesting
talk on the making of a newspaper and
although FMS time was very limited, on
account of other business, it proved
most interesting. The hit of the day
was the reading by Miss Madden, ex-.
preston teacher of the city schools:
1t was humorous one and delighted
the big crowd. A number of visitors
were present for the day and several
talks were made which were enjoyed
immensely. Among the visitors pres
ent were Miss Madden, Miss Louise
tones, Mr.. c. s. Perry, Master Me
chanic at the shops, Mr.. Cleon How
ell, President of the Bachelors Club,
who refused to state how he managed
to stay single all these years, Sheriff
Dornriney, who acted as though he was
in search of the forbidden liquid, and
Miss Josephine Bryan, promoter OF
the play, "Mr. and Mrs. Pollytickk"
and Mr.. A. J. Kratz, OF Canada, who
made a very illuminating talk on the
government of Canada.
Col. Lasset.r proposed that the Lions
Club pass a resolution requesting the
Chamber OF Commerce to take the
lead in entertaining the visitors that
may come down on an excursion the

historic cannon presented to the Chat

trophies of the World War. The sol

bells, whistles and sirens throughout
the city and on river craft took up

Our Debt to England
Considered in Sermon
In considering our debt to England,
DIR. wicks said:
First Of all, we are indebted for
what we may call a Spirit, eluding
all definitions, a Spirit that loves free
dom and will have it at any price, a
shirt tina demands wide spaces for
the enjoyment and development of
DersonaIity; a spirit which expresses
itself in laws and institutions that
protect all in the enjoyment Of life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness.
With our English fathers came all
the laws that make for freedom.
''They brought the common law,
the basis Of all our laws; they brought
the writ Of habeas corpus, protecting
us from unjust Imprisonment, trial by
iurv. the most effective way yet found
for fnsuring justice; they brought the
practice of democratic assemblage for
the making of laws.
Their town meeting was the par
ent Of democracy, passing, as the
country grew larger, into representa-
tive government; they declared for
freedom speech, free press, free
schools: the right of petition for re
dress Of grievances; for no taxation
without representation; all the laws
that make a people free.
Almost as great a beqUest as these
laws is our intellectual inheritance
through a noble language which
gives US Shakespeare. Milton and a
host of literary geniuses as our very
own he said.
DR.. Wicks then examined the
prejudices which have stood in the
way of a recognition of our indebted
ness, and showed how lacking they
were in foundation.
He promised that in dealing with
other countries he would speak as
generously as he had done with Eng
