The parcel lockers are expected to
prove great convenience to the
thousands of people who frequent the
Arcade or use the city streets which
run through the structure. 1t is es-
timated that $4,000 people, or near

South Offers Big
Field For Industry

Industrial investment in the South
today is the safest, most profitable
employment for capital to be found
anywhere, according to industrial de-
partment officials of the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and Coast railroad.
Enough capital has come to the
South or has originated in the South
to make good start in utilizing
southern raw materials in southern
states" says statement Of the rail-
way issued this week. But the in
dustrial potentialities of the region
due to the quantity and diversity of
raw materials, the abundant and
cheap production of food, the i'm
mense power resources of rivers and
coal beds, the abundance of cheap
labor, are just beginning to be real
lied so that today there is a field
here for the investment of addition
al foreign capital from the North,
from the East, from the West, from
everywhere, which is not elsewhere
equalled at any time"
For many years the South sold raw
materials in the North and bought
manufactured articles from the North
and the tendency was to keep the
South poor and industrially depend
ent and to enrich the North, officials

NEWS OF ATLANTA, STATE AND SOUTHEAST

Atlanta, Ga.-The textile develop.
ment of the South is no where near
the pinnacle, according to officials of
The Atlanta Commercial Exchange,
or cotton exchange, as it frequently
Is referred to, on account of the
large number of cotton merchants
who have headquarters in the build
ing. The next few years are certain
to see revival of the southwark trek
and an Improvement in the industry
through the application of better
merchandising methods.
Distinctly encouraging to the
southern textile industry have been
the salient news items of recent days.
Among them might be enumerated:
First. A stiff increase in the con-
sumption of textile goods. During
the first month of 1927 untitled or
ders increased more than 40 per cent
and stocks were reduced more than
10 per cent. To the fairly stable
price of cotton is attributed much
credit for the heavy buying.
Second. The application of mod
ern selling methods to textile goods.
A number of southern mills have
launched national advertising cam

the most hopeful signs of the day
and may be the forerunner of really
scientific merchandising of cotton
goods.
Third. A robust recurrence OF
"the New England crisis" The clos
ing of the large Manville-Jenckes
plant in Rhode Island has brought the
decadent New England textile situa-
ton to forefront of the news again.
The Baltimore Sun eptomizes the
trend of comment with the declara-
tion that:
New England boosters really
should not lacerate themselves on ac-
count of the closing of the Woon-
socket cotton mills. 1t is not the
boosters fault. 1t is due to shift
of the economic center of gravity,
which New England had no power to
control"
Meanwhile these are rumors that
not only this mill but many others are
contemplating taking up their resi-
dence in the South. And Chambers
of Commerce south of the Mason and
Dixon line are having exciting times
trying to chase down the rumors and
interest the mills in coming to their
communities.

A LITTLE TALK
ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS, President
American Society for Thrift

Are you making any effort to save
something, no matter how small, out
of your present income?
Bear in mind you can't spend your
money and have it. We are all fa-
miliar with the old adage that "you
can't eat your cake and have it. y
There is the wisdom of the ages in
that simple admonition, and if people
generally realized the truth of it, we
would have far less poverty, crime
and suffering in the world.
You can't squander all that you
earn in days of prosperity and have a
competency for the periods of ad-
versity. You can't waste your time
in idleness or ill-advised pursuits and
hold your own in the race for sue
cess. You can't keep late hours, dis.
sipate, over-indulge your appetite, or
over-work.to an unreasonable degree,
and retain the blessings of good
health. You can't associate with evil
companions and retain the honor and
respect of your worthy acquaintances.
You can't be a miser in your practices
and still have the vision, courage and
good judgment to keep up in the pro-
cession of progress.
No, you can't waste your dollar and
have it; but you can spend it pru-
dently and have it's equivalent. You
can't waste your years and have them
but you can employ them usefully
and have the priceless possession Of
a good name.
Today's sacrifice may be tomor-
rows victory. Hard knocks are fire.
quently blessings in disguise.
Guard your resources; conserve
your strength; improve your oppor-
tunities. You cannot eat your cake
and have it. These are the truths of
thrift.

PEOPLE ACROSS SEAS LIKE OUR
APPLES

The American apple is, according
to advices received by Georgia apple
growers, the most popular World
fruit and is being sought in increasing
quantities by other countries each
wear. A report tells of Germany RI
vallinp Great Britain as customer
and user of apples grown in the Unit
cd States, and the shipment of apples
m South American countries are said
to he showing a steady increase.
"Creat Britain buys more Ameri-
can apples than any other nation and
London leads all other cities outside
the limited States in apple consump-
t;on." said C. R. Porter, Rome, Ca,
business man and owner of large ap-
nile orchards in Habersham, Polk and
Haralson counties. "This is interest
ing, and it would be more interesting
in Georgia if we produced more OF
the apples that Great Britain needs
and London enjoys. Just at the pres
ent time, however, we are trying to
make the Georgia apple better known
throughout Uncle Sans domains.
Mr.. Porter and other Georgia
growers, backed by the Consolidated
Annie Growers Exchange of Cornelia,
Ca have announced plans for
launching an apple blossom festival IN
the near future.

NEED FOR MORE HOGS NOW
SEEN IN SOUTH

Agricultural leaders in Georgia
have been advised that Texas has a
new slogan, which, it is claimed here
will slowly but surely get results. 1t
is: Give million fewer acres of cot
ton and one million more hogs
In the matter of producing hogs,
agriculturists here say, the whole
South is far behind the needs of the
period. 1t is pointed out that hams

New Banking Bill
VIII Help Banks

Atlanta, Ga.-Hon. M. B. Wellborn
governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, today commended
features of the new banking bill,
known as the McFadden act, which
has become law.
"Among other things, this enlarges
the powers of national banks and
places them more clearly on the same
basis as the state banks in those
states where branch banking is per-
mitted by law" Mr.. Wellborn said.
National banks are allowed to es-
tablish branches within the corporate
limits of the city in which the parent
bank is located provided that the pop
ulation of the city be $4,000 or more.
"The McFadden Act also empowers
national banks to make loans for five
wears on improved real estate. Such
loans may be made up to the amount
equal to 25 per cent of the amount
of capital stock of the national bank
and 25 per cent of its unlmpalred
surplus or one-half of its savings de-
posits at the election of the bank. 1t
is estimated that three billion dollars
could be released from savings de-
posits in national banks.
'The McFadden Act also gives the
Federal Reserve system perpetual
charter, subject to the pleasure OF
Congress. This is wise provision Of
the law, inasmuch as it removes any
doubt as to the renewal of the Fed
eral Reserve charter when it expires,
in accordance with the terms of the
Federal Reserve Act, in 1884," Gov
ernor Wellborn said.

to support it, as it rose, until the sides

would be much less expensive than
taking it out. So they mixed the
earth beneath the dome with small
coins of total value much less than
the cost of removing the earth. When
the dome was finished the population
was told it could bear away the coin
