TtWtXY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 9. 1924 BUSiNfSS PICKS UP ALL (WER CBUNTRY Expert Declares Beter Condi tions Are Not Only On Way But Have Arrived ATLANTA, Sept. 9. —Better business is not only on the way, but it has arrived, according to Atlanta business leaders. They al so expressed the opinion that there is every indication of a better day at hand, not only for Atlanta and Georgia, but the entire South. “Big’ business as represented by the great necessities in buildng is receiving enlarged order and in dustry all over the country is grow ing more active, “today,” declared E. H. Bailey, btlbinesss expert, who •has received reports from, prac tically every section of the country. Mr. Bailey is the presindOnt of ire American School of Commerce of Atlanta. ‘Fundamental conditions in this country are as sound as a new made dollar, and conditions in Eu rope are showing steady improve ment, which are influencing trade everywhere,” continued Mr. Bailey. “The strength of the business situation today is shown in the man ner in which it has withstood the usual demoralizing effect of a pres idential campaign. Apparently the fact that a presidential campaign is In progress has had no damaging effect upon business.” Mfr. Bailey pointed to the fact that activity in industry, a bumper crop in many sections of the state and the South and the certainty with which business is to receive a, rebound all go to establish confi dence in conditions for the imme diaate future in the South. “Business is not only coming back but business 13 now in the early sta ges of a rebound.” Mr. Bailey as serted. Miss Bernice McArthur and James Eldridge will return Wed nesday from Galena, Maryland, where they have spent the summer months, with Mrs. Hurt.

Twenty-two warships at anchor in the harbor furnished the troops .composing the landing par ties, and these vessels stand ready to protect foreigners with their guns, should the situation become sufficiently serious. 250 AMERICAN MARINES LAND WITH CONTINGENT. SHANGHAI, Sept. 9.—Eleven hundred marines from foreign war ships have landed in Shanghai, and taken up defensive positions on the boundaries of the international set-’’ tlement. The order for the landing of the marines followed a new assault in the railway sector directly west of the city, bringing the fighting near er than it had been before in a week of fighting between troops of the rival tuchns. Marines were ordered to be land ed as follows: Representing the United States, 250; representing Great Britain, 360; representing Ja pan, 400; representing Italy, 100 At the same time the volunteer corps was ordered to mobilize at 6 o’clock this morning. Headquarters of General Lu Yung-Hsiang, commander of the Chekiang forces, admitted that the Kiangsu army launched a heavy night attack along the railway. Troops making the attack, it was asserted, were from the province of Honan, and were ordered to the fighting front by Wu Pei-Fu, mili tary director for the Peking gov ernment. If this report be true, it marks the first open participation by Wu Pei-Fu, who recently was repported to be preparing to take part in the civil war. Chekiang headquarters claimed that the Honanese troops, despite the weight of their attack, were thrown back on Hwangtu, the point at which the battle started. Official circles in the interna tional settlement do not expect any difficulty, but whatever iHappens, plan to be prepared to deal with, either advancing or retreating sol diers. " Belligerents on both sides have been warned that armed forces will not be permitted to cross the settle ment boundaries. Prohibition also has been imposed on any armed ac tivity in the Whangpoo river (the man harbor of Shanghai), where 2? foreign war ships are anchored.

Gas lighted coaches were said to be responsible /for the fire that started immediately after the wreck.

Mathis, head of Am ericus’ school sytsem _and one of the best known in Geor gia, today predicted a victory for Fort E. Land over N. H. Ballard, in the race for state superintendent of education. Many counties in this section will go for Land easily. Prof. Mathis states, with Sumter to be a county among the Land coun ties. While in Buena Vista a day or two ago, Prof. Mathis states he talked with Charles W. Lowe, who is supporting Land enthusiastically, and who says Land forces in Mus cogee and Marion counties are cer tain of victory, while in Taylor county indications 'are that Land will also be a winner. “Brick” Miller, who is consider ed one of the best informed men upon political topics in this section, says, according to Prof. Mathis, that a Land Victory is certain. In Stewart, Webster, Marion, Taylor, Talbot, Chattahoochee, Muscogee, Harris and Troup counties, Miiler told Prof. Mathis, the line-up is clearly favorable to Land, and the Ballard forces in several of these counties concede already the de feat of their candidate. In Sumter county, Prof. Mathis says, he believes Land will easily defeat Dr. Ballard, with consider able interest being manifest by his friends in the result of Wednesday’s voting. Land forces in this coun ty, Prof. Mathis state, are alert to the interests of their candidate and have been working quietly in his behalf since the opening of the campaign, with the result that vic tory here now seems an assured fact. $528,554 PAID TO TOBACCO GROWERS VALDOSTA, Sept. 9.—During the tobacco season which closed Saturday afternoon, 2/210,241 pounds of tobacco were sold, not counting re-sales, giving an ac curate showing of the total tonnage for the Valdosta market during its first season.

EAKEWOSiIi® COST STATE HEAVILY Georgia Securities Commission Advises Investors to Be Guid ed By Bankers’ Advice ATLANTA, Sept. 9.—lmmense aggregates of money would be still fin the hands of the persons in Georgia who have managed to save little by little, the competency laid by for days of need, if only some banker or members of the Georgia Securities Commission had been consulted before investing in some “prospect” that is strongly boosted by a glib talker. The banker is an unbiased referee in such matter, and, if he is qualified, he will keep informed upon some of the thousands of fake propositions by which many lose their all, in the opinion of members of the Georgia Securities Commis sion. The commission was created by the Legislature several years ago to protect the public as far as possible from wildcat promoters. All licenses to sell stock must be passed upon by members of tne commission. Permissions is given only to legitimate concerns, proper ly organized. All that is necessary in, cases where inveigling salesmen! are pre senting a prospectus of some prom ising investments, members of the commission state, is to retain one of the well-worked documents with remark that before making any in vestment the matter will be investi gated. In such a case the salesman, if his cause is legitimate, will readily acquiesce to the idea, and will cheerfully call upon the banker to help the matter, it was pointed out. The banker will take his time to Tender a decision, for, it was as serted, it is not to his advantage to encourage any wildcat proposi tion and he will protect his deposi tor to the full extent. ».
