"It was by Accljcut that 1 became sport ing editor of my paper two years ugo. At the opening of the baseball season, which. In the West, Is the only real sporting season of the year, there whs not u man on the paper who could even keep u box score or knew practlcnlly anything of the game.

TIIE C» It AND—Thursday night, "Forty nve Minute* from Broadway. THU BlJOf!—Thursday matinee and night, “A Contented Woman.*' That Atlanta has not suffered any depression In the general channels of business, and that the fact Is recog nised by the best business men of other communities, Is evidenced by an Inter view In The Rome Herald with J. L. Bass. Mr. Bass Is one of the wealthiest men In Rome, head of a large wholesale dry goods house, and Interested In many big enterprises. He was former, ly head of the big Bass Dry Goods Company here. The article In The Her ald Is as follows: •The Atlanta banks are In good shape. They have not felt the failure of ihe Meal Bank any more than If It had been located in New York, Instead of Atlanta,” said J. L. Bass last night upon his return from the Gate City. Mr. Bass Is Intimately acquainted with conditions and Individuals in At lanta, and he made it a point to Inves tigate as to Just what the unfortunate status of the Neal Bank had done. He went Into a number of the leading hanks of Atlanta, and says he actually found the paying teller's window de serted In almost every Instance, and found that much more money was com. lag in than going out. ■‘It Is generally recognised among the people who are familiar with condi tions, that the closing of the Neal In stitution rested largely with the per sonnel of the Stockholders. They were few In number, and many of them re- payed to each other. They naturally ft It, therefore, that when one wanted a sum of money,It was riot necessary to make dvsc Investigation into the char acter of hls sccurlty.'He got the money because he was 'in the family.'" The other banks of Atlanta are taking good core of the people who tire tied up with the Neal, and those who have tltelr money locked up will not suffer. It Is a practical certainty that every depositor will he finally paid In full.

Phillips, of Phillips & Pound Cora- At the Grand. George M. Cohan’s delightful bit ol Cohanesquery, "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway,” opened Its second en gagement at • the Grand Wednesday matinee before what was probably the largest audience of the season. The attendance at night was nearly as large This being the second appearance, little need be said of the play. Nearly everybody has seen it, and those who have hot have either heard or read enough of the musical melodrama—the playwright's own Invention—not to care to read or hear any more about It. Tuneful, light, airy music, lurid melo drama, pungent repartee and excrutlat- lng situations are rather a hard com bination, but Cohan hus ipfxeri them with skill and the effect Is pleasing thru and thru. Emma Carus, os Mary, and Scott Welsh, as Kid Burns, give a delightful presentation of the leading roles. Here Thursday night. J. D. G. Orpheum Makes a Hit.

Does advertising pay? It seems that the letter below from the King Hardware Co. would answer that promptly. KING HARDWARE CO. General Offices 440 Marietta St. ATLANTA, GA. December 24th, 1907. The Atlanta Georgian, Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: On December 15, in our general advertisements in both The Georgian and Constitution, we inserted the following Limerick: Old “Santa" comes but once a year, He buys his stuff from King Hardware, \ On everything that he may get Quality and price are right, you bet.’ We naturally expected the proposition we made would at tract quite a number of Christmas shoppers and that this in turn would naturally increase the selling of our holiday goods. We may say regarding this Limerick, that we have been surprised and delighted at the unususl interest mani fested, the replies coming from practically every Southern state, including Maryland and Virginia. In all we received exactly 934 replies and we feel our expenditure in bringing this Limerick before the publio to be very small compared with the returns. Yours very truly, King Hardware Co., L.D.w/k.Y. L. D. Watson, Mgr. The King Hardware Co. have had the great est holiday trade that they have ever record ed—largely from the fact that they have been heavy advertisers and because their stocks were large, qualities high and prices low. They now anticipate a fine trade for New Year’s gifts, and they will get it, for the goods are there and the prices are right.
