New State Bank Law In Effect j
Atlanta. —The new banking law ol
Georgia, with T. R. Bennett, an ex-,
perienced banker, formerly of Camilla,<
as the first superintendent of banks,,
distinct from the treasury department,!
is now in effect. Mr. Bennett has the
office in the capitol formerly occupied
by the governor’s executive secretary.
The new act, which was drawn by Or- j
ville E. Park, of Macon, attorney for
the State Bankers’ association, is
much more comprehensive than the
old law under which State Treasurer
W. J. Speer operated as ex-officio state
bank examiner, and gives to the bank
ing department regulatory powers
which Mr. Speer did not have. Under
it, all charter applications for new j
banks must be submitted to the bank
superintendent and approved by him
before a charter can issue from the
office of the secretary of state. The
bank superintendent does not have to
wait until the financial stasis of a
bank is impaired by deficits or mal
administration before he can inter
fere in its management, but has con
stant oversight of state banks and
can effect changes in administration
and in policy where he deems such
necessary for the protection of de
positors.
Arrests Exceed Figures of 1918
Atlanta. —The annual report of
James L. Beavers, chief of police,
shows a big increase in the number
of arrests by members of the depart-;
ment over 1918. Through midnight,
November 30th, the Atlanta police had
made a total of more than twenty
<ne thousand arrests —two thousand
more than the total for the previous |
year—and this record is expected to
approach the twenty-flve-tliousand j
mark when the December list is com- j
pleted. Os the twenty-odd thousand j
arrests already condensed in the
chief’s report, 1,252 are of the “state”
variety, cases involving misdemeanors ■
and felonies that are handled by the *
higher courts.
Savannah Plans Races
Savannah. —A plan on foot was an
nounced which will, if consummated
bring some fine races to Savannah
next fall on the occasion of the Qreat
er Savannah fair. Manager J. W
Fleming believes the plan will gc
through to form a southern wing 01,
the grand circuit, taking in Macon. (
Savannah and Jacksonville, the circuit
at present ending at Atlanta. If this
is done Savannah will get some ol!
the finest trotting races in the coun
try’.

HALF YOUR LIVING I
WITHOUT MONEY COST
: Continued Southern Farm Prosperity
Dependent on Cutting Produc
tion Cost Through Food
Making and Saving
Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—“Tens of j
thousands of farmers in the South !
will face the problem of making cot- j
ton under heavy weevil infestation j
for the first time in 1920. Their sue- j
pess or failure under these new con- 1
ditions will be absolutely dependent f
| on the degree that there is food, grain j
and forage produced on their farms <
this year,” said H. G. Hastings, presi- ]
dent of both the Georgia Chamber of j
Commerce and the Southeastern Fair.-
“A few weeks ago the newspapers j
carried the report that an Alabama
county whs preparing to erect a
monument to the boll weevil, because
of the good the weevil had done them .
in forcing therp out of the ‘all-cotton’
poverty-producing rut, into the pros-1
perity that always follows a diversity
| of crops and the production on
i acres of every pound possible of food,
! grain and forage supplies needed by
the family and live stock.
“Our good people here in the South
have never, until very recently, taken
the home or family vegetable garden
seriously as a source of food supply, j
It has been looked on strictly as a |
side issue, something of little impor
tance, something to be attended to the :
last thing on the place. The home
garden, rightly handled, can be made
lo produce half the food needed by •
the family and practically without :
; money cost.
"The average ‘lick and promise’ sort
iof a garden lias little valu". To he
I of real value the garden must be plan-
i ned for, really prepared for, planted
right and kept cultivated through the j
reason, and cultivated whenever need
ed. That kind of a garden will keep
its ownef’s table well supplied with
an abundance of healthful food seven
or eight months in the year, as well
1 as furnishing an abundance of canned
■ i and dried vegetables for winter use. |
, 1 “Every mess of vegetables direct
i from garden to table, every can or jar
! of home-canned vegetables from closet
i shelves, makes a hole in that store
bill that is always a terror when ‘set
| tling’ time comes.
“Good home gardens have been real
i nfe savers to thousands of southern
! farmers who have gone ’flat broke
i trving to meet : tore bills. A good
: gard'-n will cut the store hill until its
| size i negligible. Give the garden a
fair chanc< and a square deal in 1920
■ and the re ult will be agreeably sur
j prising-’’
