'VETS' OF SOUTH
ASK HARDING SR..
TO THEIR REUNION
Break Precedent By Inviting Him
And Father Os president’s
Secretary
50,000 GUESTS EXPECTED
Society Beauties Join With Elks
To Provide Entertainment For
Confederate Meet
NEW ORLEANS, March 9.—For
the first time in their history the
United Confederate Veterans have
invited representatives of the Union
army, which opposed them in the
Civil War, to attend their 34th an
nual reunion here April 11, 12 and
13.
The Union veterans invited are
Dr. George T. Harding, fathiy of the
president, and Colonel George B.
Christian, Sr., father of the presi
dent’s secretary. The invitation was
extended to them by Captain James
Dinkins, chairman of the general
committee.
The invitation to the elder Hard
ing and Christian was sent after
President Harding had found it im
possible to be present. The senti
mental effect of their attendance
will perhaps be even greater than
would the presence of the president
himself.
The 24th reunion is expected to
be attended by 50,000 visitors. The
election of a new commander-inl
chief and the selection of the next
• reunion city are expected to develop
into hot contests.
General James A. Thomas, of Dub
lin, Ga., commander of the army of
Tennessee, is being mentioned as a
strong candidate for the post of com
mander.
This season’s debutante daughters
of the wealthiest and most promi
nent of the old Southern families are
being selected to make this, perhaps
the last of the old Confederate re
unions.
Twenty of the bid heroes of the
Sixties are planning to go to New
Orleans from Americus, that is if
a sum large enough is raised to
defray their expenses.
All of the profits derived from
the pictures at the Rylander today
and Saturday go to the Old Veterans
fund. Tickets are being sold at the
theater and by the Boy Scouts, the
school children and others —adults
50c and children 25c. The program
for today is:
Norma Talmadge and. Eugene
O’Brien are starring in “The Voice
of the Minaret,” a First National
feature; Buster Keaton is furnishing
the comedy in ‘‘The Blacksmith.
Bathe news pictures and the Rylan
der orchestra and organ are also on
the two-hour program.

Raising Re-Discount Rates In East
Effected Without Disturbance
To Sound Business
ATLANTA, March 9.—How well
the’Federal Reserve system operates
like well lubricated machinery and
with no ill effects on business, ac
cording to Atlanta bankers, was il
lustrated recently when the Boston
and New York reserve banks raised
their rediscount rates to 4 1-2 per
cent.
As pointed out here, business re
fused* to see in the move any sign
lof scarce money, the stock markets
showed but little downward reac
tion to the higher interest rate.
It seems to be agreed among
i financiers here that the general im
j provement in trade and industry
I justified the reserve banks in taking
j steps to avoid any appearance of in-
■ flation. The country, it is declared
■ here, was simply put on notice that
! there is such a thing as making the
borrowing of money too easy for
'sound business. Moreover the Fed
' eral Reserve simply followed the
: money markets in which rates have
1 been tightening for some time.
Recent reviews of industry by the
, Federal Bank of Atlanta reveals
; building, steql manufacturing and
| transportation as still making satis
factory progress—the higher costs
for building are placing no brakes
on construction work. There is mon- I
|cy available for production and for 1
' investments.
According to Atlanta bankers and
financiers, the Federal Reserve banks
are watchmen keeping sharp eyes on
the country’s financial and commer
cial progress, and, if political condi
tions of the country were anything I
like as sound as finances, it is as
verted, 1923 would be a year of tre- I
mendous material prosperity.

CARRIER BOYS MADE
RECORD LAST TUESDAY
The Times-Recorder is proud of
the record which its 10 carrier boys
attained last Tuesday afternoon in
the delivery to its many patrons the. 1
news of that day. I
This is the first day in a long j
time which the circulation depart- '
ment did not any complaint
at all, and the record is an unusual
ly good one, considering that Tues- \
day was one of the windiest, days of
the March gfeason, when papers care
lessly handled, sometimes are not \
delivered to subscribers.
Ou r carrier boys were most care- '
ful on this occasion to place their
patfons’ paper in some safe place,
in a' receptacle on the front porch
or delivering it in person.
We wish to commend the boys on
this occasion and ask our patrons to
co-operate with the boys in the fu
ture delivery of the paper.
