VOLUME 53.
BUSINESS SOUND
IN SOUTHEAST
SAYS WELLBORN
Governor Wellborn, of Atlanta Fed
eral Reserve Bank, Says Banks Are
Prosperous—All Lines Active.
Atlanta, Ga., April 14.—General
business conditions in the sixth fed
eral reserve district, which includes
the states of Georgia, Alabama and
Florida, as well as portions of Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, are
on a basis that is fundamentally
sound, according to Hon. M. B. Well
born, governor of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Atlanta.
Governor Wellborn says that the
sharp lesson taught by the inflation
of 1920-1921 has not been forgotten
and has tended to promote caution
and conservatism.
“The banks in this district are
strong and prosperous and conditions
fairly good with the exception of a
few exceptions where crop failures
have been experienced for the past
two or three years,” said Governor
Wellborn.
“Manufacturing plans are receiving
orders in sufficient abundance to keep
them operating on full time, notably
the steel industries around Birming
ham, the iron pipe products at An
niston, Alabama, and the numerous
cotton mills of Alabama ar.d Geor
gia.”
Governor Wellborn called particular
attention to the fact that there is a
distinct movement of eastern textile
interests toward the south, where cli
matic advantages and ample labor
insure good results.
Lumber Production Increased.
Lumber production, said Mr. Well
born, has also shown an increase
and the volume of business placed
with the lumber mills during the past
month h»s bean highly satisfactory,
resulting in a strengthening of prices.
“Reporting wholesale and retail
firms indicate a steady volume of
business,” continued Mr. Wellborn.
“Building permit® issued in the prin
cipal cities of this district show a
notable increase over last year, while
employment conditions continue sat
isfactory.”
He declared that the agricultural
situation is, as a whole, encouraging.
Weevil Fight Systematized.
“There are indications of a more
systematic and determined fight
against the boll weevil and there will
probably be a larger cotton produc
tion in 1924 than was the case last
year, although the growing tendency
toward the long preached doctrine of
crop diversification has made such
headway that a bumper cotton crop
is unlikely,” said Governor Wellborn.
“Restricted acreage, intensive cultiva
tion, and the general use of calcium
arsenate and other insect poisons of
proven value will do much to improve
the condition of the coming crop.”

Attention, County Commissioners!
Peachtree road from DeKalb coun
ty line north needs scraping. You
were so nice to us last summer we
just hate to mention it but a little
scrapnig now just simply saves the
road so get busy and save five miles
of the that-is-to-be-Peachtreo-High
way from going to the bad. Do this
and DeKalb will spur up and finish
on to Doraville. They were stopped
by bad weather last year. One of the
county’s caterpillars and a pair of
scrapes would fix it in a day or two.
Let’s do it now before the road gets

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 11924.
MR. MILLER WAS
G9ODJARMER
Duluth, Ga., April 15, 192 4.—Mr.
Henry H. Miller died at Norcross
April 12, 1924, leaving his widow
and one daughter, Mrs. Henry L.
Strickland, of Duluth. He had been
in failing health for some time and
his death was not unexpected. He
was a member of the Duluth Pres
byterian Church.
Until 1917 he operated a large
dairy farm at Duluth and demon
strated in many ways that north
Georgia cannot be excelled in live
stock and dairying AVhen his health
failed and he had to retire from the
farm it carried the largest and most
productive herd of Jersey cows in
the state, not bought at fancy prices
but developed by careful breeding
and selection alone. He grew the
first alfalfa successfully in this sec
tion, and his pastures were the pride
of the farm.
Many visitors from all over the
country came see this farm and
manjl agricultural papers carried
accounts of the work and view’s of
growing crops. The Miller’s love of
kept open house to their hospitality
was as fine and genuine as the
farm.
Mr. Miller’s love for the farm
came as a heritage. Himself born
on the farm in Tennessee, where his
ancestors bred fine horses and help
ed to shape the destinies of the state,
farming came natural. A great
grandfather, Gen. Jos. Miller, of the
American Revolution, was the first
to introduce blue-grass into Ten
nessee and with that has meant to
the state can not be estimated. What
Mr. Miller’s work here has meant
to the section does not yetshow, un
less it be in the milk cows, many
of which are offsprings of the
Miller herd. Doubtless, for many
years, at last, the children can thank
him far the pure rich milk that Bos
sie gives.
Thus ends the career of one am
ong us, but the bigness of his mind
and heart will live on and on.
