Comparing Assets of East and
South, Banker Declares Much
Is Wasted Here.
The latest banking reports,” said
L. Peel, president of the American
.tional Bank, “show that the State
Massachusetts has 880 millions of
Mats in livings deposits. Georgia
is eighteen millions.”
\nd from that text Colonel Peel
nade a little sermon,

Parents Set No Example.
“There is little nr no regard for

ing no example of saving, for with'
every increase of income there is a

<f expense.
' And 1 have seen these children
-trowing into young men. and the
oung men going to work—and the
iabit is exactly the same. A dollar—
en dollars—fifty dollars—means the
-quivalent of a certain amount of
ileasure or recreation. They live up
their salaries. Some of them live

Then Colonel Peel spoke a little of
s own experience.
$200 and Suit First Year.
"It wasn't so much fun at first. ’ he
>aid. “The first year I worked I got
$20o and a suit of clothes. I saved
nearly every cent of the $200. and I
was very .careful of the clothes. I was
living at home, and that enabled me
to save the money.
“When I came to Atlanta in IN78 I
was marired and my family was
started. 1 was getting $3,000 a year,
and there is an old account book in
the vault over there that shows my
total expenditures for the first year to

It didn't take very long for me to
save enough to buy my Peachtree
street home. I guess it’s worth $100,-

Colonel Peel laughed a little as he
told about a. coachman he had years
ago
"I got that fellow to start a saving:
account, and pretty soon he had
enough money to carry him to Wash
ington. where he got a good job. Now
he’s a real estate operator in New
York, and owns his own home, and Is
well off.
"It isn't so much earning as sav
ing that does it.” Mr. Peel concluded.

The Empty Storking Fund is sev
eral hundred dollars larger Saturday
as a. result of the benefit show at the
Atlanta Theater.
t was one of the finest comb illations
of talent ever assembled in Atlanta.
The audience thought so, and dis
played Its feelings by demanding nu
merous encores.
Above all the spirit that was im
pressed will cause other plans for. the
Empty Stocking Fund to succeed,
and Atlanta will have a happier
Christmas.
If all the people of means in At
lanta had heard one feature on that
bill there would be no want arid suf
fering in the city this Christmas.
Eloquent John Temple Graves
struck the best note of the Atlanta
spirit when he introduced Forrest
Adair in a doll auction that proved
to be inimitable. His expression, of
the spirit back of the Empty Stock
ing Fund will long be remembered.
Bidding Was Exciting.
It developed exciting bidding for
the dolls, and the four so beautifully
dressed by Mrs. Wilmer I>. Moore,
Mrs. George M. McKenzie. Mrs. Wil
liam A. Speer and Mrs. Joseph
Rhodes brought $37.
A. B. Steel bought one. Mr. Adair
himself outbid the entire audience on
another. Mrs. Carrie Rosser took
another and the buyer of the fourth
wishes his name withheld.
The spirit with which the high-
salaried artists entered into the af
fair was inspiring.
The bill opened with an overture
by the Atlanta Theater Orchestra.
Then followed Ellery’s Royal Italian
Band that is playing at the Audito
rium under the auspices of the Atlan
ta Music Festival Association. That
start assured the success of the show,
and it was strengthened by solos by
Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne
Young, baritone.
The band played the overture from
Wagner's/‘Tannhauser” and the so!<«
■were Clay's "I’ll Sing Thee Songs >f
Araby” and “Dio Possinte" from Gou
nod’s “Faust.’'
Boy Scouts Pleasing.
Next came the Australian Roy
Scouts from the bin at the Forsyth
Theater. The act was signally appro
priate for a Christmas benefit, for w il
as they acted the boys were not much
beyond the age of hanging up stock
ings themselves.
Auriema, the sensation of the
“movie” theaters, came next. He did
well, indeed, and in a letter to* The
Georgian showed what a pleasure it
was for him to appear at the matinee
