Money
In every community there is enough
money in hiding to start a respectable
bank. This money is not only liable to
be lost by theft or fire, but it is placed
where it does not bring in any income
to the holder, neither is it of any use to
the public,
Deposit the “dead’’ money with us. 1 hen it will get in¬
to circulation, and be of some benefit to yourself and also to
the community.
The more money there is in circulation, the cheaper the
rate of interest; the easier it is to borrow, and the more
prosperous the general conditions.

HARVEY ANDERSON 1
KILLED BY AUTO.
President of Anderson Hardware
Company Meets Tragic Death
In Atlanta Saturday Night
Mr. Harvey Anderson, president of
the Anderson Hardware Co., of At¬
lanta, and one of the best known bus¬
iness men of that city, met a tragic
death on Peachtree street in that city
at an early hour Saturday night, by
being run over by several automo¬
biles.
It seems that Mr. Anderson had
started across the street to where his
wife was waiting for him and just as
he stepped from the sidewalk he was
struck by an automobile being driven
by Dr. Crawford, a near neighbor of
the Anderson’s. Several machines
were passing and when the first ear
struck him he was thrown to the
street in front of a car going in the
opposite direction which ran over
him. The sad part of the accident
though, was the fact that the third
car to run over him contained his wife
who had started to meet him in com¬
pany with a party.
She did not know it was her hus¬
band until she had gone several
blocks to her home and telephoned
to several neighbors that a man had
been injured by being run over. Up¬
on investigation it was found to her
husband and she collapsed. The
driver of the first car to strike Mr.
Anderson also collapsed and has
been almost wild ever since.
Mr. Anderson had a number of
friends in this city and was related
by marriage to Rev. E. R. Pendleton,
pastor of the Baptist church.
