Atlanta Board Member Asserts
Every Cent Expended Ac-
cording to Law

ATLANTA, May 29-When DR..
w. w. Gaines, president Of the
board of education, was asked to
express an opinion on the charges
of Mayor Walter A. Sims to the eff
feet that the school board had been
guilty of extravaganza in the mat
ter of expending school bond funds
he stated that not a cent had been
wasted and not a dollar had been
spent without the authority of the
mayor himself.
DR.. Gaines had not heard of the
mayors declaration on Saturday,
when he, said that he had received
numerous complaints from taxpay-
ers in regard to the expenditure of
$4,000,000 allotted to the board Of
education from the last bond issue.
II can not answer the mayor
quite fully now, but I want to say
emphatically that not a cent has
been wasted and not dollar ex-
pended without the sanction of the
mayor and with the full consent of
the whole board of education" he
said.

EVANGELIST TO TALK
ON FOOLISH QUESTIONS

Foolish and inopportune ques-
tlons of religious nature will re-
celye the attention of Evangelist
A. B. Lipscomb in his sermon un-
der the big tent on Jackson street
tonight. The evangelist has an
nounced that he will present a
frank and scriptural discussion of
such questions as follow:
What will become of the good
man who dies out Of the church ?''
How about the millions of heath
en- people who never hear the gos-
pei and have no opportunity to
obey it?"
What will be the fate Of the
eleventh hour man who shows on
ly death-bed repentence?"
Much interest has already been
manifested in the discussion Of
these questions and a large crowd
is expected.
Song service will begin at s p.
m. 1t was regrettable to many
that the downpour Of rain inter-
fered with the service on Monday
evening.

BUSINESS IS GOOD.
SAYS BANK REPORT
Review Of Sixth Federal Reserve
District Shows Improvement
in All Lines of Trade

ATLANTA, May 29.-Business
conditions in the Sixth Federal Re
serve district have continued fav-
orable through April and early NAV
according to the monthly business
review Of the Federal Reserve bank
made public today. There is. how
ever, considerably more caution
and conservatism in evidence now.
the review says, that there was
a month or six weeks ago, and it
is evident that the lessons learned
in 1920 are still fresh in the mem
ory of business men, as well as the
general buying public. The recent
efforts to bring down the price
OF sugar have shown conclusively
that the buying population Of the
country has not forgotten what
happened three years ago, and it
appears to be quite certain that
dealers in various commodities are
averse to price advances.
Weather conditions during April
and the first part of May had some
adverse effect on trade, but on
the whole the volume of business
by retail and wholesale firms CON
tinues to show favorable compari-
sons with last year. Crop condi-
tions at the present are not so
favorable as they were a month or
two ago, because of the almost con
stant wet weather which has con-
siderably delayed planting and cul-
tivations of the crops.
