American Banker’s Association ii is shown that sav é*: ing deposits in practically every bank in the country ~ jncreased over those of last year. Georgia led all . the Southern states, except one, Texas. The increase " in this state, up to June 30, was 11.4 per cent while TMexas showed an increase for the same period of . 14.7, per cent. A most gratifying condition is shown _ in the reports of the banks as of June 30 this year. "On that date the savings deposits amounted to $28,- - 412,961,000, which is a gain of $2,827,059,000 over _ that of last year. The number of individual deposi fors was 53,188,348, an increase of 2,496,070. In . New York state the increase was $49 per capita which led ail other states of_the natior. New Eng lang and Middle Atlantic States showed gains of $36 per capita. -~ Continuing his statement, the manager of the American Banker’s Association, said: “The picture in the South is different from that of a year ago,” the statement continues. “Savir;g:g; deposits indicate widespread prosperity. Diversifi cation of agriculture is increasing apace, flood rav ages are being repaired and plans for control of the Mississippi have developed new energy in the val ley. Texas led the South with a savings gain per in habitant of 14.7, followed by Georgia with 11.4 per ecnt.” The speculative features carried on and operated by the market makers on Wall street, does not in terest the people of the South to any great extent. They are, as a rule, conservative in their invest ments, and only after they are convinced of the soundness of “the investment do they risk their money. The losses recently sustained in speculation on the New York Exchange have taught our people & lesson and that their money is much safer deposit ed in some sound bank than it 1s to be deposited with the gpeculators for investment. - Conservative investments on the part of our peo ple have saved them much of their hard earned oney. It is far better to deposit your mouey in the banks and take the 4 per cent rather than pluce it i some scheme or enierprise that is not strong and * growing. With a small interest fee and the prin cipal safe, those who have money to invest will be much better off by not taking 24 chance, but place their money in some good bank and allow it to ac crua interest. Less profit, but far moye safe. ELECTRIC STOP SIGNALS . One of the most progressive steps taken by the municipalily in recent years was the purchase and installation of electric automatic stop signals for: the control of traffic I}l the.congested disiricts of the city. In San Frarfeisco, it is stated that these stop signals resulted in a reduction of accidents ranging from 30 to 40 per cent in the records of companies . eperating 50, 100 and 400 motor trucks. Another indication of the value of these stop signals is re ported by a street railawy in San Francisco which says that a reduction of 24.7 per cent in pedestrian . accidents has been experienced since the installation . of these traffic control signals. - The system is generally used throughout the Unit ed States. It is not a big city invention, but it is . a regulation needed in all towns and even 1n villages wiiere traftic is of noticeable importance. The stop _ signal is a life saver and a ° casualty preventative. ’ Q‘nly three of these stop signals have been purch * @sed, but befcre they have been in use long, it is ex ‘ {ggcted that an additional number will be ordered . wnd iestallation - made at the intersection of all streets where traffic is heavy. Certainly, the mayor and eouncil will not stint in making appropriations : wment to provide this much needed protection . fo¥the public. - Wi L e & é*:i.;‘ EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS CLOSE <3 ?fie action on the part of the officials of the in . §titutions of higher education and those of the city ' schools in suspending classes until after the holi . days on account of the spread of the “flu’” is to be . eommended. While the condition here is no more | sericus than it is in thousands of other places, yet as : "a‘:.l)reu;.Liii(;‘;l‘,—t}l’\" measure, the ccurse pursued was a Wise one. Lo . .

A GENFEROSITY OF MERCHANTS 0 3 On behalf of the public this newspaper desires to express apprecultlo‘n for t})e generous responses made bv the merchants, business men and bankers . in contributing to the fund for the erection and main :enar_lce of the large Community Christmas Tree, at the intersection of Clayton street and College ave * mne. Several hundred electric lights will illuminate J the tree which will carry with it the spirit of the ‘Xuk*tido season which is uppermost in the minds of ' @veryone at this time.

He is making a systematic can vass of all buildings, stores, ware houses and other buildings where commercial activities are conduct ed inspecting for fire prevention. The owners or occupants are no ‘tified of irregu'arities or hazards and requested to make such im provements as will insure reas onatle fire protection. Ilis serv ices are appreciated by the cwners and occupants of ' wuildings and in ‘many instances dangerous condi tions have been found. Athens has suffered little during the past few years from confiagrations, the conditicn, however, being due to a system of protection against fires that is empioyed by the chief of the department. Chief Beusse and his men, of the police department, are kept in high gear during the hcliday season. Traffic vio lations are more common at . this season than at any other time during the ycar, Besides. people are not so care ful in handiing their purchases and often there may be seen an automobile parked on the streets loaded w:th merchandise and no one in or near the car. Packages lett in automobiles without pré tection are exposed to danger of the petty thieves who generally operate at this season of the year. The members of the police force exercise every precaution to give protection, but they cannot be expected to be at every point where automo'iles are parked at all hours of the day. The thief is shrewd encugh to keep an eye open for the oificers; he is not likely to attempt to remove pack ages from automob:les in the presence of a policeman. He is too well informed ior that kind of operation, so co-operate with the police by keeping ycur packages, stored at the stores until you are ready to occupy your car. It is with general satisfac tion that the custom of dis- , cherging fireworks before and | during the Christmas holiday seasen is rapidly passing. Such celebrations, especially on Christmas day, is nothing short, of a desecration., ilowever, the custom has been in vogue for a century or mcore, but it is time cur people were observing the day in a more sane manner. Every church in the city showld “e open on ‘nat day and reigious serv.’ cer netd. Some ol the denomina tions do observe tue day in a prcper and fitting manner. Dis. charging firecrackers and other wise ce ebrating is not :n keep ing with its proper ¢ servance. let's try to make Christmas of 1928 a_sane and sober cccasion. According to the editer of Sabr~ and Sour, a month'y magazine, published by the Ore Hundred and Sixth Cav a2lry, Illinc's National Guard, away back in 1842 were “good old days”, . From a recent issue, the follow ing lines are taken: “Fort Riley, Kan. Oct. 2b, 1842. “General Orders “No. 2. 1.

DANIEL.” Since our last report the bears ;have managed to stop the advance in cotton, but after the next re 'pon and the cotton is practically iall ginned, there is no doubt about the price advancing to 20 ; cents or better. In the last ‘ssue of Cotton and Cotton Oil News, Editor Blackwell says: ‘ “The cotton market declined ‘about 50 points the latter part ofg the past week due more to profit’ tak'ng by satisfied longs than to any change in exist'ng builishl market conditions. Selling for a | turn by traders, due to the quiet| demand for spots, also helped the | decline along. E { “With the final crop estimate on December Bth so close, quota t ons are not_l kely to show much !(hange until the report is out of gme way. The market may show { further decline before the report is issued by reason of long liqu'- cation and should such bhe the case wou'd advise our friecds to buy March contracts as we are ‘n a bul! year and do not believe that the government estimate will be over 14,000000 bales in the most, which would warrant at least 20 cents for middling cotton at every Southern farming center.” Fenner & Beane say: “The news and developments of the week were of a bull’'sh and stimulat'ng character but the un certainty which precedes govern ment estimates made itself felt and induced a large element in trade to ‘ake profits. “While the setback was disap po’nting, it was natural after such an advance as we have had re cently and has undoubtedly greatly improved technical posi tion. “The most significant of the week's developments was the tre mendous demand for dry goods. England print cloth mills say they have never seen a greater demand for their goods. Sal'es of many other I'nes are running ahead of production. “Exports continue to widen the'r lead over last year. The large amount of cotton on ship board points to a heavy movement in next few weeks. § “The market may hesitate or | react in advance of the Bureau E'l‘here is, however, every reasor "{o bel'eve that the ginnings wil' !pe l'ght enough this period " bring- about a material reduction ;in the govenment's estimate or | the Bth, and that we will see a ' further advance afterwards.” l A young lady f{rom Madison }county says the talk'ng picture: Lare a very great attraction and when you see one you will attent §agam and again. Very few coun | try people now come to Athens | without taking in the movies.

Our farm ers were never so well supplied . with all manner of feed for the'r . stock. A record breaking crop o! | cow peas was made and more hay saved than ever before, While the corn crop was not as large as one time promised, nearly every farmer wil -have plenty to run him next year without buying. A large acreage has been planted in oais and the past month farmers haVve been busy sow'ng wheat. All of our farms are being made self.sustaining and next year the farmer can make his crop without going in debt. The future outlook was never brighter or g 0 encour aging. ‘We have certa'nly a wonderful country here and can successfully grow any frut or cereal known to the temperate zone, Last week our good friend, Frank Lipscomb, brought us some Japnaese persim mons, grown on his farm.
