Atlanta, Ga.—Apparently, newspaper
editors along the line of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railway, are
considerably rejoiced over tho roport
that the road, following a period of
ups and downs, mostly downs, is in a
fair way to financial recovery.
Tills short line railroad, running 600
miles through tho richest agricultural
section of Georgia and touching the
iron amt coal fields of Alabama, blos
somed out recently as a money maker,
which one newspaper editor denomina
ted as “Turning the Tables.” It is
operated under a federal receivership.
The opinion is expressed that some
body will be trying lo buy the railroad
before very long, instead of trying to
save it from the “junk pile,” which
refers to a movement started some
mouths ago by supposed labor leaders
and misguided friends.
The men who nro making the A. It.
and A. go will cause it to earn its way
if there is no outside interference is
the opinion expressed by South Georgia
editors.
Recovered Under Big Odds
“It makes us shudder to think of
what this railroad has been through in
anarchy, butchery, murder and destruc
tion of property—and that hero in tho
heart of the South—a section that
boasts almost a hundred per cent pure
Anglo-Saxon stock, supposed to bo the
foundation pillars of orderly goveru-
tncrit,” said E. R; Jergcr, editor of the
Thomnsvillo (Ga.) Daily Timcs-Bnter-
prisc.
“But success to tho business men
'who stuck to their posts and labored—
every one of them,’’ continued Mr. .lar
ger. “They have deserved it. They
arc industrial heroes—sure as they live.
Whore they have stood to their posts of
duty and labored in the midst of the
most unusually obstructive and costly
handicaps, others have slipped away to
less dangerous grounds. .
“Whatever the A. B. and A. becomes
will be in great measure due to the
courage of tho men who have brought
it.through its trials.’’ ,
Colonel -B. Ii; Bugg, fcwm*-print ' >. •
is receiver, and J. L. Edwards, former wgJJMT
general manager, is assistant receiver of
the road. \V. W. Oroxton, passenger
traffic manager, has supervision :ilpo
of the agricultural and industrial ffo-
partments. This trio, each of whom is
a railroad man of many yoars experi
ence, have been continuously on duty
from tho beginning to the end of tho
trying ordeals in connection with
strikes many months ago. It will be
recalled that Mr. Edwards was called
info service during tho World War by
the' U. K. Railroad Administration and
rendered valuable aid to Undo Sam in
"the national capital anil in.his travels
from ono sodtion of tho country to the
other, where lie was frequently sent.
From and after this date all Bank
rupt notices for the first meoting of
creditors must bo paid for in advance.
This will eliminate book-keeping and
quibbling over collections. Tho amount
is small and easily paid when paid
in advance. Lot check accompany the
copy to insuro publication.

Atlanta, Ga.—Hon. W. W. Monday,
of ('(ilnrtowii, one of Georgia’s newly
electrtl Slate Senators, was a visitor to
Atlanta u day or so ago. ML Munday
comes from the thirty-eighth district
and when he takes hi: seat in the up
per body of. tlie General Assembly of
Georgia-next .Tune it will be the first
time ho assumes the role of a Senator,
although ho is well known as a. law
maker in tho lower house.
Fact of tho matter is, Colonel Man
ray has served several terms as a rep
resentative in the legislature, was a.
member of important committees and
was the author of considerable con-
sti-m-tive legislation. During their lust
session, of the legislature he was vice
hairqlau of the rules committee and
the dispatch with which the buisness
of t.lifit body was handled was, in a
large measure, due to his efforts.
Wjien he is not engaged in framing
laws for the state and participating in
thoydtflilioralions of the legislative
body,: Colonel Munday is a practicing
lawyer at Cednrtown. The legal firm
of Monday and Watkins, of which he
is a member, is well known in profes
sional circles of the South. Tho other
member of the firm is Major Homer
Watkins, of World War fame, who is
a brother of Edgar Watkins, prominent
Atlanta attorney.
As-a member of the next senate, Col-
onel Munday has “shied his castor” in
tho ring for tho presidency of that body
and is now making nil aetivo ennvas.
Being particularly well known through
out the State? not only as a lawmaker,
but as one of tho governors of tho
KiWanifl Club for Goorgia, lio has de
veloped a formidable following. Ho
was not opposed in his race for the
sonata from liis'xlistrict. Although ho
expects to have opposition for tho sen
ate presidency, lie is confident, lie says,
of holding his own witli nil comers.

WHY
IS A
BAN
Suppose all the business of the country had to be
transacted with currency! There isn’t money enough
in the world to make it possible.
Banks simplify transactions. Millions pass from
one firm to another every day by use of bank checks
and New York drafts.
One clerk can handle millions in checks and drafts
in the hours of a business day that a force of a huh-
dred clerks could not handle in currency.
When you become a depositor in our bank you
join this magic circle, simplifying your business, sav
ing yourself and gaining business prestige at the
same time.
