THAT TELEPHONE TAX
While our city fathers are fussing
an d being fussed at about the tax
be collected from the telephone com
pnny. let the -working people of Atlan
ta not lose sight of the fact that the
oldest savings bank In the city, the
Georgia Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, accepts deposits as small as "
and pays 4 per cent per annum Into
est and compounds it twice a year.
What an opportunity for any one to
eave in a small way! Have you any
money In the bank? Are you teaching
your children to save? Think of these
questions seriously, and then say to
vourself, "I am so many years old, what
jiave I accomplished In this world?
What have I got to show for the years
of hard work that I have had to do,
and what is the outlook for the fu
ture?" A great many men die, some
of them you perhaps have known,
without having saved up enough money
to bury themselves, and their family Is
left burdened with this debt. How
would It be if you were to die? Think
of these things now, and if you have
no bank account, come to this old sav
ings bank on corner Broad and Ala
bama streets and get a pass book.
Tou have seen the sign in large golden
letters, SAVINGS BANK, many a
time. Open every Saturday afternoon
from 4 to 6, in addition to regular
morning hours. Write or call for one
•f their circulars, and It will be given
to you gladly.

COMPTROLLER PUT
EXPLAINS REPORT
Answers Criticism of Fig
ures on Road’s
Earnings,
Waihlngton, Aug. 28i—Comptroller
Plant of Southern, yesterday continued
his testimony before Special Master
Montgomery. Mr. Plant said that the
figures submitted by him yesterday rel
ative to earnings from Intrastate busi
ness in North Carolina and the effect
upon those earnings of the legislative
rates were very conservative, and not

might fairly have been made. Consid
erable criticism has been launched at
the Southern Railway Company for a
difference qf the reports of the compa-
-Jorth Carolina corporation commission
concerning the earnings of the company
in Intra-state operations In North Car
olina. The figures of the commission
show the earnings to have been for the
year ended June, 190(1. 111,972,093,03,
while the books of the company show
them to have been 112,043,727.13.
Mr. Plant was closely questioned
concerning this today, and stated that
In the capitulation prepared by the
commlrslon the earnings of the Atlan
tic and Danville nnd of the North and
South Carolina railroads had not been
Included In the commission’s report.
