"I think, on the whole, that I may say my little excursion was a suc cess. Mr Maddox said. “It was taken, of course in behalf of Atlanta's hope to be awtrded m*a of the regional banks under the pending currency bill. I went pretty thoroughly into af fairs in Washington, and I want to say right here that our two Senators, Smith and Bacon, have done wonders for Atlanta in the way of creating a sentiment favorable to locating one of the banks here. Tf we get it, too much credit can not be given to those men." Takes no Credit Himself. As to Mr. Maddox’s own part, it really was a pity that a third person couldn’t have had the telling of it, because Mr. Maddox absolutely de clined to put in any bid for fame.
