Governing Department That Will
Insure Greater Security for
Depositors Probable.
By JAME6 B. NEVIN.
That much constructive legislation
'vith respect to Georgia banking- laws
is in serious contemplation for the in
coming Legislature is now an assured
fact.
Indeed, it looks as if the entire
banking code, from top to bottor:
will be thoroughly reformed, and with
an eye largely to the greater secur
ity of depositors.
So successful and* beneficial ha^
been the operation of the new insur
ance law, that Georgia financiers are
greatly encouraged to hope for much
banking legislation this summer that
was denied them last.
At a recent convention ^f bankers
in Savannah this matter was refer
red to a sub-committee from the state
organization and some very definite
recommendations already have been
agreed upon.
The Legislature will be asked to set
up an independent department of
banking, with a superintendent, to be
appointed by the Governor, in charge.
It will be asked that this department
be made separate and distinct from
the Treasury Department. In re
questing this bankers do not intend
to reflect in any way on the present
state treasurer, who also is state bank
examiner, but merely that the bank
ers think their business may be more
satisfactorily conducted under dis
tinct management of its own.
Among other things, the new bank
ing laws proposed will require the
superintendent of banks to have had
not less than five years experience
In practical banking, but he must not
be connected with the management of
any bank or have' business relation?
with any bank. The new laws also
will provide for a board of bankers,
as an advisory institution, to be paid
a certain sum per diem, when called
in session; for an assistant superin
tendent, and such bank examiners as
may be required, but not more than
one examiner for every 75 banks; for
authority whereby banks may be
closed peremtorily when found to be
violating the law. with additional au
thority within the department to pro
ceed with the liquidating. of closed
banks, if advisable.
The tentative salaries to be named
in the new IaTV are $4,000 per an
num for the superintendent. $2,000
for the assistant, and $1,800 for the
examiners.
Banks examined will pay a fee of
from $12.50 to $150 for each exami
nation, according to the magnitude
of the work. These fees will go to
the maintenance fund of the depart
ment.
There are many other features of
these new laws yet to be agreed upon
by the bankers, but the foregoing ojv
some of the most salient points in
volved.
The last proposed banking act was
lost because of two things—first, it
was permitted to drag in the House
too long, and second, it was entirely
too voluminous.
The new act is to be much smaller
in volume and is to be pushed from
the meeting of the General Assem
bly.
It is practically certain that Wil
liam .1. Harris, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, will
not resign the chairmanship when lie
goes to Washington to be director of
the census.
Mr. Harris has consulted with a
number of his friends, and with many
members of the state committee as to
the advisability of his resigning, ana
with unanimous voice they have In
sisted that he dismiss the idea from
his mind. They say there is no earth
ly reason why he‘should quit th«
chairmanship, merely because he is
to bo an office folder in Washing
ton. Indeed, many precedents sus
tain the other point of view.
Mr. Harris, therefore, has all but
definitely made up his mind not to
resign.
Representative Ed Wohlwender.
Muscogee, the only man in the* last
House who succeeded in browbeatin:
a seemingly reluctant rules commit
tee into doing something it didn't
. want to do. is in Atlanta's highly ap-
pieciative midst today.
Wohlwender will return to the next
House, which is insurance sufficient
against a dull time, anyway.
Represenative R. C. Leaner, of
Orawfohd County, says the people of
his section are more awake to
necessity of good roads nowadays
than they ever have been before. His
county is contemplating a $150,000
bond issue with which to carry for
ward much fine; road work already
under way.
Mr. Lesuer is very much interested
in the proposed Federal aid to good
roads, and will take a hand in shap
ing such summer legislation as ; s
necessary to put Georgia in line for
* s share.

Young German Scientist Tries
Sleeping-Sickness Cure on Tu-
bercuFars With Success.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 2.—Dr. F. F. Fried
mann, discoverer of tile anti-tuber
culosis vaccine, has a new rival.
Interesting facts were learned here
to-day relative to a “contratoxln" se
rum. discovered in Africa by Dr.
Frederick Mehnarto. a young German
scientist, who spent several years in
Africa with Dr. Koch, seeking a cure
for the sleeping sickness.
The serum, according to its discov
erer, will effectually cure any disease
due to the presence of micro-organ
ism in the blood, provided the patient
has a fair amount of vitality left.
The serum was originally intended
to combat the sleeping sickness, but
the scientist, who came here in Octo
ber, tried it on tuberculosis patients
with success.
The exact nature of the serum has
not been revealed.

Many good people, including thou

Be wise in time and use Hyomei
at the first warning of catarrhal
troubles.
Do net let the disease extend along
the delicate mucous membrane,
gradually going from the nose to the
throat, thence into the bronchial
tubes and then downward until the
lungs are reached and you are in
danger of consumption.
Hyomei will relieve all curable
forms anil stages of catarrh. It is so
uniformly successful in tills com-
men yet dangerous disease that it
is always sold on money back if not
benefited , plan.
Then* is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that is like Hyomei or Just as
good. None can take Its place, none ,
give such quick and sure relief and at •<
so little cost. Us medication Is '
breathed through a pocket inhaler [
that comes with every outfit, thus
reaching the most remote cells of the
air passages, killing the catarrhal
gernys and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane.
Begin the use of Hyomei to-day
and you will soon find that the of
fensive breath, ihe droppings into
the throat. the discharge from the
nose, sniffling and all other symp
toms of catarrh are overcome. The
complete outfit costs but $1.00. Ex-
