FRUIT PEDDLER
WINS FORTUNE ON
ATLANTA STREETS
BY CABL TAYLOB
Aristides Soumplis. a Greek, who had
been residing in Atlanta for the past
twelve years, left the city one day dur
ing the week for Columbus, Greece, his
native home. —\’ews item.
Behind that item, there’s a story
a story that reads almost like fiction’
Inewspapers over
looked it, Aristides carried a com
fortable fortune of SIOO,OOO in his
pocket when he boarded a train for
' the first leg of his long journey, a
fortune which he had made and saved
, in twelve years’ time in Atlanta.
One hundred thousand dollars! Or.
exchanged into Greek money, Aris
tides has eight hundred thousand
drachm—immensely wealthy, and he
made it all in Atlanta, not in specu
lation, but in the unromatic busi
ness of peddling "de banan” and sup
plying hot dogs” to customers up
and down Decatur street.
When Aristides arrived in Atlanta,
in Ute spring of 1908, he was prac
tically penniless. .In a strange land,
without even a working knowledge of
’ its language, no money and two
young*sons, one seventeen and one
thirteen, dependent upon him for
support, it might be said that Aris
tides was slightly "up against it.”
However, he had a dogged determi
nation, an ability to work, and un
limited hope and confidence in Amer
ica, the land about which he had
heard so much, the land of milk and
honey, where one must only work
and save, to eventually become inde
pendently rich.
And so he started. A rickety fruit
wagon, propelled by a much more
rickety horse and a varied assort
ment of fruit, took all his money. He
embarked on a career which was not
only to bring him money and ease,
but fulfill his greatest wish to re
turn to the mother country rich be
yond expectation.
Peddled Fruit Four Years
For four years he toiled with the
fruit wagon. For four years he
was a familiar sight on the streets,
crying forth his wares, beseeching
the housewives to buy "de nica ba
nan" or perohance apples, grapes or
oranges. His stock grew larger and
he made it a point to keep his stocks
fresh at all times.
Meanwhile, Victor Soumplis, the
youngest boy, had entered school and
was wrestling with the intricacies of
the English language. Charlie, the
older boy, worked with his father,
and studied at night. Today, both
Charlie and Victor speak English.
Charlie still has trouble pronouncing
all the tongue-twisters, and occasion
ally he lapses into his native tongue,
but Victor talks the language like a
native.
During the four years that the
rickety fruit wagon was the sole
means of the three’s support, Aris-'
tides was slowly accumulating
money. Not a day passed, but what
he put aside a certain portion of his
• dally income in the bank—the sav
ings teller of one of the principal
banks of the city vouches for that—
and his little pile began to grow and
grow.
At the end of the four years, Aris
tides decided to branch out. Casting
about he saw the opportunity for,
making money in the insignificant
business of peddling wieners—popu
larly termed "hot-dogs.” So, he pur
chased a portable hotdog stand, and
started his eldest son in preparing
them for the crowd which constantly
surges up and down Decatur street.
Business proved good and pretty
soon another was added. Then the ,
third and finally the fourth.
Then Came the Chance
Four years elapsed and Aristides
continued to make money out of his
wiener stands and his rickety fruit
wagon, which he clung to all the
while. Then he bought out the soft
drink establishment at the corner of
Piedmont avenue and Decatur street,
and gave up his fruit wagon to
manage this business. Victor and
Charlie were called upon as assis
tants And the bank account dou
bled -and trebled again.
Just after the new year had been :
ushered in, Aristides passed his six
tieth birthday, and he resolved to j
return to hip native home, in Co- .
lumbus, Greece. So he wound up his ,
affairs, turned over the soft drink ,
business to Victor, drew an even
SIOO,OOO out of the bank and left.
Aristides said just before he left ;
that he might return—his wife is .
still living in Columbus, and also
another boy, Pole, fourteen years old, j
and a daughter, Vessis, sixteen.
“If I come back," he told the boys
before he left, “I’m going to bring
mamma and the children with me,
so they can see this great country.”
Aristides has gone. He never learn
ed to speak, read or write the Eng
lish language, but he learned that
sterling quality of thrift, which has
won success for so many, many
men and applied it all his life—
namely, that it isn’t what you make
that makes you ultimately wealthy,
but what you save.

"I am so glad my health is being
restored after suffering for over
years with indigestion and
rheumatism that I feel like telling
everybody about Tanlac,” was the
enthusiastic statement made recently
by Mrs. M. E. Smith, one of the best
known and most highly respected
women of Tampa, Fla., residing at
906 Morgan street.
"The rheumatism from which I
had suffered for years even before
I had stomach trouble, pained me
worse than ever and until recently
I was not only unable to walk with
out the use of a cane, but I was
so weak at times I could hardly get
out of bed. I tried many medicines
but nothing helped me and I al
most despaired of ever getting any
better •
"Then Tanlac came along and in
just a few days after I began tak
ing this grand medicine, my appetite
began to improve, and in only a
short time I was able to enjoy my
meals and everything seemed to
agree with me perfectly.
“My rheumatism is so much better
and I have so much more strength I
am now able to walk all about the
house and up and down the stairs
without my cane. Friends who have
bedome so accustomed to seeing me
walk with my cane are astonished
when they see me now walking
around without it.
"I will always praise Tanlac for
what it has done for me.”
Tanlac is sold by all leading drug
gists.

Prison Investigators

declaration of Governor Bickett to

“We at least have state’s rights
left as to the conduct of our pris
ons,” said the governor, "and I in
tend that this right shall be main
tained and exercised.
“I have been ‘cussed’ all over
North Carolina, from Cape Lookout
to Slick Rock creek, on account of
my sentimental love for convicts.
One leading newspaper accused me
of making reformatories out of our
prisons.
"I have been perfectly willing to
take this ‘cussing’ from North Caro

is the constitutional right of every
Tar Heel to ‘cuss’ their public offi
cials, a right which they exercise
freely and about which I make no
complaint. But I absolutely refuse
to take ‘cussing’ or criticism of my
o-ffclal conduct from any outlander. ”

TEN STATES MAY
LOSE ONE MEMBER
IN LOWER HOUSE
WASHINGTON, July 25.—Unless
the membership of the house is in
creased from 435 to at least 500 to
meet the increased population shown
i by the 1920 census, ten states will
j lose one or more representatives, ac
cording to Representative Siegel, of
' New York, chairman of the census
committee which will frame the new
apportionment bill. Those, states
are:
Indiana, lowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressmen each; and
Illinois, entucky, Maine, Maryland,
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia,
which will lose one congressman
each. ,
Mr. Siegel explains that if the
house membership is retained at its
present figure, it will be necessary
to increase the population basis in
each congressional district beyond
the 211,000 or major portion thereof
now fixed. If this is done, he says,
the ten states named will lose one
or more of the present districts be
cause their populations have not in
creased in proportion to those of
other states.
On the basis of the estimated pop
ulation of 106,000,000 for the whole
country in 1920, an increase of ap
proximately 14,000,000 in ten years,
Mr. Siegel says 65 or 66 new seats
in the house must be rcreated if the
ten states are to retain their pres
ent numerical representation. While
precedent warrants the increase, Mr.
Siegal declares there is strong oppo
sition to it on the part of some of
the present representatives, while
others favor reduction to as few as
300 members.
Mr. Siegel expects the work of
framing the new apportionment bill
in accord with the new population to
begin with the reconvening of con
gress in December and he anticipates
that the measure will be passed ear
ly in 1921. .
Every decade since 1790, with the
single exception of 1840, the house
membership has been enlarged to
keep pace with the growing popula
tion. Now the house floor is crowd
ed when all members are present;
seats nearly fill the chamber; the old
individual desks have been discard
ed and an increase in membership
probably will have to be solved by
narrowing the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the house member
ship was increased from 391 to 435
on the basis of a population of 91,-
972,266 and the only exception to
such a procedure occurred in 1840
when ten congressmen were knocked
out by the apportionment, the mem
bership being fixed at 232 after hav
ing been 242 for ten years.
The last apportionment kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
delegations besides providing for
certain increases, but even then sev
eral congressional districts fell
short of the maximum basis of 211,-
000 population.

'EDITORS GUESTS
OF GORDON LEE
AT CHICKAMAUGA
BY JACK Xi. PATTERSON
(Exchange Editor of The Journal.)
CHICKAMAUGA, Ga., July 24. —As
the guests of Congressman and Mrs.
Gordon Lee, ninety-five members of
the Georgia Press association en
joyed a tour through Chickamauga,
the greatest military park in the
world, and Fort Oglethorpe, Friday.
They were in charge of guides who
lectured on all the points of inter
est. Many of the editors did not
know that Chickamauga park con
tained seven thousand acres and
that more than $5,000,000 had been
expended in the erection of monu
ments, memorials and tablets there
in, showing the position of various
regiments in one of the bloodiest
conflicts of the war between the
states.
Fort Oglethorpe, which was util
ized as a cantonment during the
world war, is adjacent to the park,
having 1,000 acres and ample build
ings to accommodate the soldiers in
time of war and during the training
periods of peace.
At 1 o’clock, a barbecue appropriate
for the entertainment of kings, was
served on the lawn by Congressman
and Mrs. Lee, who were assisted in
dispensing hospitality by a bevy of
beautiful and charming young ladies.
Among them were Mrs. N. C. Napier
and Misses Olive Pringle, Mary El
der, Billie Neal, Cecil Camp apd
others.
Following the barbecue, brief ad
dresses were delivered by Congress
man Lee, P. T. McCutcheon, of the
Franklin News and Banner; W. Trox
Bankston, for many years editor and
proprietor of the West Point News;
E. B. Russell, of the Cedartown
Standard, and Miss Emily Woodward,
of the Vienna News. Among the
eleventh-hour arrivals at the bar
becue were T. S. Shope, editor, and
T. S. McCamy, associate editor, of
the Dalton Citizen, who are among
the most prominent and successful
newspaper men in the state.
Beginning in Carrollton on Mon-,
day night, July 19, the thirty-fourth
annual session of the association ad
journed in Chickamauga on eve
ning of Friday, July 23, going down
in history as one of the most .prof
itable and thoroughly enjoyable in
the history of the organization de
spite the frequent heavy rainfalls
that prevented pleasure trips to Bow
don, where a fish fry had been pre
pared; Villa Rica, where refreshments
were to have been served, and Doug
lasville, where a picnic dinner had
been planned for Thursday.
The members of the association
regretted the necessity of disappoint
ing the good people of these three
progressive towns, knowing that their
visit had been anticipated with pleas
ure for several months. Already
plans are being contemplated for the
meeting at Washington next year
which will witness the execution of
several features never before at
tempted by this or any other press
a s s o c i ation.
Double Tragedy Is
Enacted in Savannah
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 25.—The
bodies of Richard F. Linehan,
dent of the Wallace Vinegar com
pany, and of William F. Hunt, em
ployed by the same company, were
found in the basement of the com
pany’s building at midnight. Line
han had a bullet through the breast.
Hunt’s body was in nearly a sitting
position, with a revolver nearby.
In the business office was found
an unsigned note saying "Linehan
attacked me.” The theory of the. po
lice is that in an altercation, Hunt
shot and killed Linehan and after
writing the note he returned to the
basement and committed suicide.
Both men came to Savannah from
Tennessee. Linehan left his home
for business at 7 o’clock Saturday
morning. Saturday night his wife
became uneasy when he failed to re
turn and a search was instituted.

"I told the managers I did not
feel equal to the task here unless I
was permitted to use reasonable dis
cipline and firmness,” she said.
“The discipline has been lax be
cause the managers have insisted on
running the institution this way.”

! URGES OPENING OF
ST. LAWRENCE TO
OGEAN-GOINGSHIPS
DETROIT, Mich., July 24.—Impor
tance of opening the upper St. Law
rence river to ocean-going vessels
as a means of enhancing the world’s
food supply was pointed out in a
telegram from Herbert Hoover, for
mer food administrator, to the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater con
gress and read to the congress to
day. Mr. Hoover had been asked to
attend the congress but was unable
to appear.
"There is absolutely no question
that requires so definitely a con
structive program as our whole
transportation problem,” the tele
gram said. "Both railroads and Wa
terways are far behind the produc
tivity of our country. Agriculture
and general industry are embarras
sed by lack of transportation and
the marriage between producer and
consumer are widened extravagantly
by failure to obtain proper distri
bution.
“In the years to come the country
will find that proper outlet for the
bulk of its commodities will lie by
water, rather rather than rail. We
need a national study and a natonal
program of transportaton develop
ment, an dsuch a program will em
brace not oply improvement of in
terior waterways, but development of
the St. Lawrence.
“That the ports of the Great,Lakes
ca nbe put effectively on seaboard
with a comparatively moderate expen
diture is unquestioned and such a
step will improve enormously the
prosperity of fifteen states, decrease
cost of distributing commodities and
increase returns to the producer.
“It is necessary that these prob
lems shall be handled in a definite
and co-ord:nated manner, that a
positive policy be outlined by the
government extending over a term of
years for their accomplishment and
that they be taken out of partisan
politics and placed in the hands of
competent managers.
“As an incident to such a develop
ment program I know of nothing
-more important than consolidation of
the many construction and engineer
ing departments of the government
into one great public works depart
ment, probably in replacement of
the present department of the interi
or. Such a department would become
the central point for handling these
problems, would obtain proper con
sideration of the efforts of the gov
ernment, save an enormous duplica
tion and effort, make possible a for
ward-looking program over a long
term of years and reduce the pork
barrel to a minimum.”
801 l Weevil Trapped
By Bonfire as Moths
Are Lured by Flame
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 24.—,
Reports of a novel bolj weevil trap'
reached the state agricultural de
partment from Gadsden Friday, and
further investigations will be made

established traps on his farm which
are proving effective.

formation. had constructed traps in
his fields, has placed on a platform

DM KILLING
OSMOMEL
Says Drug is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver
Dodson is malting a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. Thev
give the same reason. Dodsons
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re
sults,” said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist. A large bottle costs but a few
cents, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back. ,
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat
ed bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t
lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full, of vxigor and ambition. —(Advt.)

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver
The liver is the largest and most
Important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immediate
ly.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nights.
Calomel or other ordinary laxatives
do not go fp r enough. If you would
treat your kidneys and blood while
treating the liver you would put
your entire system In order and fre
quent purgatives would then be un
necessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many year*
ago recognized these
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powdfers, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member* of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts." It will prove
a household fritc* and valuable
remedy.— (Advt.)
