Brings Bride and
Optimistic Reports.
Lee Hand, who went back to China
for a bride, and took f an active part
in the establishment of the republic,
has returned “Honn ” vn ith his wife
and said to-day that ‘‘despite inter-
nad dissensions, the Chinese republic
will live, and in time the powers
will be forced to recognize the new
Government.”
Hand is one of the most popular
young member.- 1 of Atlanta’s Chinese
colony and sixteen months ago when
he crossed the seas to wed he carried
with him the best wishes of a host
of friends heiv. With his pretty
young bride he is to-day receiving the
congratulations of these well-wisher.-
“My wife,” eaid Lee, “has never
been to America before, and every
thing is so new to her. She couldn’t
help but wonder at the groat cities
through which we passed.”
Lee Hand went to China last year
primarily to bring back his bride. The
revolution was then in its inception.
He made hundreds of speeches in be
half of the rebels-’ cause* and at one
time was enlisted as a soldier. A well
educated man, a fluent talker and in
spired by his intimate knowledge of
the American republic. Hand was an
effective worker in the establishment
of rule by the people.
Was Nearly Mobbed.
“I was not the only Chinese from
America who went over there and
made speeches,” said Hand. “The
American, influence is what really
brought the re volution to a success
ful culmination; there were a large
number of us and we made speeches
day and night. We told them about
this country and what a free gov
ernment had done for it. and they be
lieved us. I thought I was going to
be mobbed more than once, but man
aged always to get out of the tight
placer.
“The republic will live; it is bound
to, because it is founded substantial!.'
upon the principles of the American
Government. Young men are behind
the movement and they are inspired
by the greatness of America. And
every year the number who come here
to study is increased.
“The industrial growth of China is
just now beginning. Lack of rail
roads has always been the great
drawback. It is surprising how much
building js going on. And the Chi
nese are building these roads them-
selves. They have American archi
tects and engineers, but it is Chi
nese money and the Chinese will con
trol the roads.
Awakens to Possibilities.
“Another awakening that hold}
hope for the future is the beginning
of the mining industry. The country
is rich in gold, iron and other min
erals and they have lain idle. Just
within two yean* have any real steps
been taken.
Insure Greater Security for
Depositors Probable.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
That much constructive legislation
with 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 bottom,
will be thoroughly reformed, and with
an eye largely to the greater «‘cur-
lty of depositors.
So successful and beneficial has
been the operation of the new insur
ance law. that Georgia financiers arc
greatly encouraged to hope for much
banking legislation this summer that
was denied them last.
At a recent convention of bankers
in Savannah this matter was refer
red to a sub-committde 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 <
any bank or have business relations
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 moic 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 law are $4,000 per
nupi for the superintendent. $2,000
for the assistant, and $1,800 for til-
examiners.
Banks examined wifi pay ;t 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- j
ment.
There are many other features <>f
these new laws yet to be agreed upon
by the bankers, but the foregoing are
some of the most salient points in
volved.
The last proposed banking act was
lost because of two things —first, it i
was permitted to drag in the Hcus > [
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- I
bly.

WASHINGTON, May 2.—In a bul
ns have J j e(in ma de public to-day by Census
tr> . W e Director Durand regarding the causes I
of death .for the registration area only
of the United States for 1911, the
total deaths from all forms of tuber
culosis Is given as 94,205, or 158.9 per
100,000 population.
The i*ate for 1910 was 160.3 and
160.8 for 1909. The, death rate for
the paat three years has been con
siderably lower than those of the pre
ceding five years.
A marked increase, however, is
shown inrthe number of suicides and
deaths by violence.
“The total number of isuicidew, ’
says the report, “for lull was 9,622,
an increase of 1.082 over 1910. The
death rate, however, increased only
from 16 to 16.2 per 100,000 and was
lower than that for 1909 or 1908.
“The death rate of whites from
suicide, 16.5, was higher than that of
negroes, 10.3. The highest suicide
death rates were in California. 30.1,
Montana 27.8; Colorado, 21.7. Among
the big cities. San Francisco, 39.4; St.
Louis, 37.7; Los Angeles. 37.2; Den
ver, 36.5.
“Of the 54.028 deaths in 1911 clas
sified as violent deaths (excluding
suicide) more than nine-tentho,
50,121. were of an accidental or unde
fined character, the remainder being
due to himicide. The death rate from
! accidental and unspecified violence
j was S4.6 per 100,000, slightly higher
! than in 1910, 84.3; but lower than the
; averages for the consecutive periois
1901 to 1905, S4.9; and 1905 to 1910, SO.
Homicide caused 3,907 deaths in
I 1911. or 6.6 per 100,000. The big cities
having the highest rutes were Mem-
hit;, 191.7; Scranton, 177.3; Birming-

It is practically certain that Wil
liam J. Harris, chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, will
not resign the chairmanship when he
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 t<>
the advisability of his resigning, an:i
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 the
chairmanship, merely because he is
to be an office holder 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, of
Muscogee, the only man in the last
House who succeeded in browbeating
i seemingly reluctant rules commit
tee into doing something it didn’t
want to do, is in Atlanta's highly ap-
mociative midst today.
Wohlwender will return to the next
House, which is insurance sufficient
against a dull time, anyway.
Represenative R. <\ Leaner, of
Crawford County, says the people of
his section are more awake to the
necessity of good toads 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 ver> much interested
j in tiie proposed Federal aid to goo-.i
I toads, and will take a hand in shap-
ng such summer legislation as is
necessary to put Georgia in line for
its share.
The Albany Herald rather forcibly
expresses the opinions of a great
many Georgians to-day when it ways:
“It seems that there is to be no end
;o prohibition agitation in Georgia.
The prohibitionists now have their
urohibition and the liquor drinkers
have their liquor whenever they want
'l; but nobody appears to be satisfied.
Many good people, including thou
sands who stand for temperance and
consistently practice it in their daily
fives, have become tired of a pro
tracted agitation which accomplishes
nothing and profits nobody except i
Ui\\ small politicians and professional
agitators, but It seems that there is
no escape from it and that it is to
go on forever.”
Representative Tinsley Ragslaud
to-day said he was thinking of an
nouncing himself a candidate for
speaker, “as a sort of compromise’’ —
although what it is that is to be
| compromised, the gentleman from
I 3’alnot didn’t say.
