(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, January 14.—In the face
of all the talk about 191:1 being a
“bad year,” definite figures have been
compiled at last to show definitely
that in spite c.f more or less adverse
circumstances the South made an ad
vance last year of over $16,000,000 in
banking capital.
From its own records and from of
ficial figures obtained from the state
capitals and other authoritative
sources in various states, the South
ern Banker, of Atlanta and New Or
leans, has compiled a statement show
ing the number of new and enlarged
banks fh eleven Southern states, the
amount of the added capital in each
state, and the net gain in capital for
each state.
The tots! number of n«>w and
larged banks for the eleven states is
404, of wh|ch Georgia has 24, Ala
bama 45, South Carolina 25, Florida

The total amount of additional cap

There is a noticeable stir in the po
litical atmosphere around the eighth
congressional district and some others
nearby. It is the talk around Daniels-
ville, where court is in session, that
Col. Tom Brown, solicitor general of
the Northern circuit is to enter the
field this year as an opponent of Con
gressman Sam Tribble.
The forecast is considered as au
thentic and there arc many who be
lieve that the race had been planned
for some time. Col. Brown has many
friends and despite the fact that he
has done his duty fearlessly as solic
itor general he seems to have lost few
friends by so doing.
It is expected that his definite an
nouncement will be forthcoming in a
few weeks at farthest.
Tribble Will Run.
Congressman Tribble has made it
known that he will stand for re-elec-
Tfce engagement of another of the
children of former President Roose
velt has just been announced. Kermit
is to wed Miss Belle Willard, daugh
ter of the American ambassador to
Spain and former lieutenant governor
of Virginia.
The marriage will take place prob
ably this spring. Miss Willard is a
real Virginia belle and one of the
moat beautiful girls ever seen
Washington society. The Willard
family, whose home is in Richmond,
is one of the oldest in the state. The
New Willard Hotel was named after
it and is now owned chiefly by the
American ambassador.
This engagement has been brewing
for a long time. More than a year
ago Kermit Roosevelt and his sister,
Mrs. Richard Derby, were guests of
the Willards on a long hunt through
Virginia. Mms Willard was one of the
guests at the wedding which made
Miss Ethel Roosevelt Mrs. Derby.
Kermit Roosevelt, second son of the
former president, is twenty-four.
Since the summer of 1012 he has been
in Brazil, and is now an officer of the
Anglo-Brazilian Iron Company in Sao
Paulo. He is tall and well set, and
has won honors as an athlete.
He interrupted his studies at Har
vard in 1909 to accompany the colonel
or. the latter’s African hunt as p’no- !
tographer to the expedition.
In the fall of 1911 he resumed his
studies at Harvard and was gradual
in June, 1912.
A daring attempt at .robbery and
probably assault took place at the
home of Mr. Philip Abelman on
Dougherty stfeet 'at about dark yes
terday. *
[ It seems that no one was at home
at the time except the housegirl, Alice
Reed, who heard some one moving
| about in one of the rooms, and on in-
| vesi.igai.iiiK found a r.cgzo rr.zr. h*d»»g
| in * c!«sovi, glee that articles
in the room had been tampered with.
A3 she waa ’ih the act of passing by a
closet a negro caughi hold of her dress
und tore her apron. She «creamed and
the man fled, overturning a table in
his hurried flight. -
It is learned from the police today
that there are n« new developments in
the ca3e. N They have as a clue the
negro’s hat, that bears the trade mark
of an Abbeville, S. C., firm. The man
had evidently been in the house quite
a while before he was discovered by
the servant as a general disturbance
of the furniture showed, yet strange
to say, nothing was taken of any real
value. The police are working dili
gently on the case, and it is thought
there will be developments before
nightfulj.
Another Nervy Negro.
Late yesterday it was reported to
the police that an unknown negro had
walked off with a handbag belonging
to Mrs. Robt. Pearce, haying taken it
from her place of business on Broad
street.
Two negro men came into the res
taurant of Mrs. Pearce and asked for
a few matches. Mrs. Pearce, not sus
pecting anything wrong, turned to
the rear of the place to get the match
es. When she turned to hand the
matches to the men, they were walk
ing out of the door, and' soon disap
peared. Then it was found that
handbag containing seven or eight
dollars belonging to Mrs; Pearce had
disappeared. The police are working
on this case. . >

A young man descended from
a train in a certain city.
He quickly made his way In
the news stand and bought a
paper. Seating himself in tho
waiting room, lie took a pencil

examination of tiic WANT AT
COLUMNS.
Within 3 few hours from the
time he had leached the city he
found a job. When he came
from the place where he had
obtained work by means of the
HELP WANTED COLUMNS ho
again studios tho nan-.., (.back
ing several of the ads under tb-
heading ROOMS to LET.
Then lie xtiitcd upon his oosrch
