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. inrifli LiiYW J iV u rAntOiiUV A.NU JN ILWS, Mi11>A Y.

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- t-a bottles of liquid, if later needed. 5f cents at druggists everywhere. ATLANTA TRUST CO.
