O. COOK. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 4th day. of January, 1923. , G. T. SPENCE, <’. X. P. 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. C. A. MEEKS, Publisher. 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.

MANDEVILLE MILLS 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. The First National Bank L. C.
