One of the great regional banka is
to be established in Atlanta, unless
the firm expectations of every mem
ber of the Atlanta Clearing House go
aw ty
Following the announcement that
Atlanta was one of the fourteen cities
selected to be visited by ibe organi
sation committee, the Atlanta bunk
ers were quite sure Saturday morn
ing that that fact practically cinched
matters, so far as establishing At
lanta as the reserve city of one of the
great divisions was com erned.
“I simply don’t see how we can
.miss it now,” said Henry Davis, .ash
ler of the Dowry National Bank. __
■ Here’s the way we look at it, he
went on. "The provision calls tor,
'eight to twelve’ regional banks, i mu j
means either eight or twelve, I take
It a number between hardly would
be necessary to the distribution of |
the divisions. I’m mighty glad the
President had his way about the num
ber of banks. Atlanta might have
been pushed pretty hard had the num
ber been fixed at four. But with as
many as .eight—well, J don t see how
we ran he passed by.
Arguments for Committee.
Mr Davis was asked About the ar-
BUTnents that would be offered to the
organisation committee when it ne t
1 ere for its public hearing in Fcbru-
*"-For one thing." lie replied, "we’ll
show them that Atlanta is situated,
geographically, in the renter of the
Southeastern territory of tie. 1.tilted
-States. There is no getting around
Yhat point.
•'W.5it. we purpose to Khou that
At’.ahta already is tin* financial cen
ter of the whole Houth, not to restrict
It to tlie Southeastern States.
-Then we haVe figures showing
that the. tributary territory from
which Atlanta draws Its commerce is
far and away superior to that sur
rounding any other Southern city.
-J see that New Orleans and Hous
ton also are on the ‘visiting list of
■Hie big committees. Now. so far as
N^ew - Orleans is concerned, it v ' as
*hown long ago that Atlanta’s tribu
tary section comprises more than
tv. ice the size and scope of that
served by New Orleans. As for Hous
ton. even if it should be decided that
, regional bank should be placed j
there it would occupy a sort of Mid- i
die South section, leaving Atlanta
without a rival for the Southeastern
l ank, as New Orleans would auto- |
1 rustically be obviated by the proximi- i
iy of the Houston bank.^ I don't see]
1 i,v\ we can lose it now.”
Advantages to Atlanta.
Then Mr. Davis spoke of other ad
vantages to be derived from the es
tablishment of a regional hank in At
lanta.
“Here’s a copv of the new- act we
< us t received from hte Fourth Nu-
t.onal Bunk of New York.” he said.
••It's beautifully printed and gotten up.
but 1 must admit it would take a
Philadelphia lawyer to fathom it on
the first few readings. I suppose
there are crude provisions in it, as
veil as sound banking doctrine, for a
measure of this size must needs be
experimental in some of Its minor
phases.
•But that will all be worked out as
we go along. And there Is no doubt
ing the enormous importance and
value of the proposition to Atlanta.
“For example, just by way of il
lustrating the size of the project. I
understand that the regional bank
force in Atlanta will be from 750 to
1,000 clerks. You can gain from that
on idea of the business it will trans-
H C t
"It is believed the regional bank
even may do away with the present
clearing house association, handling
ali the exchanges that formerly went
scurrying over the country, with the
focus at New York
"When it comes to big loans, now
negotiated bv Southern banks princi
pally in the East, the regional bank
here will probably be prepared to
supply brand-new currency, direct
from the reserve, in any quantity. I
oon’t mean to say that huge amounts
of money would be stored away in
:he vaults of the local Institution.
That probably would be dealt out by
the master bank In Washington, the
headquarters of all the regional
banks. 1 don’t suppose it will bo

be occupied in some Atlanta sky
scraper, for the time being, at any
rate.
Fourteen Cit«es Lead.
“As to the rate of interest, that is
yet to be established, but I have nu
doubt that it will be lower than the
scale now obtainable iri New' York."
A good deal of the certainty that
Atlanta will be selected among the
reserve cities arises from the an
nouncement by the organization com
mittee of the list of cities it will visit
-fourteen in all. Of course, it is
said that the claims of other cities
will be considered. Hut it is the im
pression here that the eight, or the
twelve, regional banking locations
will be selected from the following
list:
New York, Bpston, Chicago, St.
Louis, Denver. Seattle, Portland, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New
Orleans, Atlanta. Cincinnati and
Cleveland. *
Atlanta. Has Rivals
For Reserve Bank.
Word conics from Washington that
in the plans to establish regional
banks under the new law Atlanta has
at leapt two important rivals in the
Southern division. Houston and New
Orleans arc announced with Atlanta,
and public hearings by the organiza
tion committee are to be held in th >se
cities some time in February to con
sider their claims that they should be
made Federal reserve cities.
Among the recommendations mainly
to be coi)8id<red Are geographical con
venience, the Industrial and commer
cial development and needs of the
section, and tho already established
custom and trend of business, as de
veloped by the present banking sys
tem.
The committee will spend from two
to four days at each place. The bank
ers and business men of the city will
be ready at the hearings to present
the reasons, and the committee will
make whatever inquiries it deems
needful.
Atlanta’s Claims
Compiled by Chamber.
Statistics compiled by the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce showing why At %
lanta is the logical point for the region
al reserve bank of the Southeastern sec
tion of the country wni no presented to
Secretaries Mc.Adoo and Houston when
they visit here on their tour of the l
Bouth.
“These statistics were astounding to I
me as they will he to every other av
erage well-informed Atlantan.” said
President Whiner L. Moore, who Is con
fident that Atlanta’s claims to the re
gional hank are superior to those of any
other city In this section.
“I always had an Idea,” he continued, j
“that Atlanta owed its existence and
wonderful growth mainly to her geo
graphical location. These figures have
convinced me that this is only one of
the reasons There are a score of j
ot hers.
“If the selection of a location for ! ic
bank were a matter of politics,’’ he con
tinued. “Birmingham might win through
the influence of Oscar Underwood. but
It can not he made a matter of politics
and the best location will have to win
1 am sure that Secretary McAdoo will
have the same opinion when he reads
the figures we have compiled.’’
The statistics were compiled bv Sec
retary Walter G. Cooper, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and were certified by
an auditing company.
Macon Enters Fipht
For Regional Bank.
MACON. Dec. 27.—The Macon Cham

mas holidays at his home here, was ap
proached on the subject, but be gives
little encouragement, believing that If a
regional bank is located in Georgia at
all it will go to Atlanta.
Nevertheless, the Macon bankers are
planning to make a showing in Wash
ington.

‘Emancipation’ Day
THOMASVIILE. Dec. 27.—The
housekeeper in Thomasville who can
boast of having a servant in the
kitchen on the first day of January
will be an object of envy to her less
fortunate sisters, since all the negro
cooks and servants generally will
abdicate for that one day to partici
pate in a general celebration of
“’Mancipation Day."
It will be the biggest celebration
of the kind ever held here, and all

Potatoes for Poor
Tickets to Cantata
SEDALLV MO.. Dee. 27.—One po
tato was th*- admission price to a
cantata at tin* First Baptist Church.
The audience obeyed Rev. B, L a i: -
derson’s request that large- potatoes
be brought, and 12 bushels of spuds
were distributed to the city's poor.
To-day 250 poor children of At
lanta are wondering if the “white
Christmas” given to them Friday by
the children of the First Methodist
Church was a dream. But then they
have toys and other gifts to testify
to its reality.
The First Methodist children are
correspondingly happy over the suc
cess of their novel entertainment,
which was the first of its kind in At
lanta. Each child was a “personal
Santa" to some less fortunate little
brother or sister from the mill dis
trict, and they enjoyed their roles as
much as their guests.
The "white Christmas" is symbol!
cal of an ancient legend in which all
the people bring white gifts to the
King or Christ Child. The lecture
room of the church, in which the en
tertainment was given carried out the
idea, being decorated in cotton, which
gave a snowy effect.
Several Christmas trees were cov
ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent
lights among the decorations made
the scene brilliant.
The children from the Sheltering
Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc
cupied chairs, while the Sunday school
children sat on the floor. All joined
in carols, after which “The Story of
Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem-
minger, pastor of All Saints Church.
The little hosts and hostesses then
distributed well-filled stockings to the
poor children and served them with
refreshments.
The “w’hite Christmas" lasted from
3 o’clock to 5.

New Buildings Ready Soon After
January 1, but Leases on Broad
Street Houses Continue.
A dozen—maybe thirteen—produce
firms are to move off South Broad
street sfx>n after the first of the year,
and there is a good deal of wonder as
to what sort of district that busy sec
tion wifi develop next, after the pro
duce men have taken up their new'
stations along Produce row, between
Washington street and Central ave
nue.
The sixteen buildings—three sto
ries, elevators, done in concrete—
won t be ready by January 1, it seems.
But thwy will be ready as soon there
after as possible, and when they are
ready the produce men will have to
start paying rent on their reserva
tions, whether they move in or not.
That rather complicates things.
Some of the leases on the present
stands run eight months into 1914.
Some of them run longer. Some of
the produce men have leases that will
run two or three years.
Hard to Sublet Stores.
Just now they are trying to sublet
the stores.
“But it’s a tough job." one produce
dealer said Saturday. “These buildings
are not in good shape. I don’t see
w hat sort of business aside from ours
could be carried on in them.”
There is an idea, fairly prevalent,
that the owners o f the present pro
duce stands will eventually put up
handsome and substantial buildings
and strive to make South Broad street
^ big retail thoroughfare, on the
Whitehall street plan. But whether
they will start his work before the
present leases expire—that is anoth
er question, and one the owners are
not disposed to discuss freely.
The produce men are engaged just
now in trying to settle on a date W’hen
they could move in a body.
Large Firms Involved.
“I understand the new ‘row’ won’t
be ready for occupancy before March
1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that
a 1 ! ihe boys ought to go together;
there’s no system in splitting up the
territory, as would be the case if they
moved a few' at a time. Personally.
I’d rather pay rent at the new place
after it is ready and stay on here
until the bunch goes. My lease runs
until next fall.”
The produce men involved in the
prospective move are McCullough
Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com
pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the
Gailmand-Cheves Company, the
Barnes-Fain Company, the Fidelity
Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu-
gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa
rt* \Vigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan
Produce Company. Conley & Ennis,
Porter Bros, and West Bros.
Among the property owners are
Frank Coker. Mrs. John Brdomhead.
the Murphy estate, John Dickey. Jr..
A Iverson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es
tate.
Preparations for giving a New
Yer’s feast to 1,000 poor persons of
Atlanta next Thursday are being
made by the Union Rescue Mission,
at No. 234 Marietta street. Every
poor person in the city will be wel
come.
The committee in charge of the
dinner asks for contributions of
money, books, food or toys. They
should be sent to the Mission or to
any member of the committee, which
is as follows: C. W. O’Connor, secre
tary; C. W. Hatcher, T. L. Thrower,

REJECTED n
Mrs
Deaton, Alleged Victim,
Fails to Impress Recorder
and Is Fined $25.75,
The "poisoned needle” story failed
to make any impression upon Record
er Broyles Saturday, even though r*
lated with many protestations of its
truthfulness by Mrs, Mattie Deaton,
of Charlotte, N. C„ in explanation of
her queer actions on Peachtree stree'
Friday afternoon.
The Recorder’s only comment In
imposing a $25.75 fine was that the
name of the fair defendant should not
be Deaton, but, rather, Munchausen,
as the relict of that famous prevar,
cator.
Mrs. Deaton impressively told the
court that she had arrived from
Charlotte on Friday and that while
she was walking through the Ter
minal Station she felt a sharp sting
on her arm.
"I dropped my suit case to th?
floor,” she said, "and right there at my
side was a young man. He picked the
suit case up for me, and after that I
don’t know what happened, your hon
or.”
She might have been at Five Points
Friday afternoon, as the officer--
charged, where she made efforts to
flirt with a number of men. Mavhe
it was so. She couldn’t remembi'- a
thing that happened after receiving
that mysterious "*ting” in the arm,
"Let me see your arm,” demanded
the Recorder. It showed no signs _f
the “poisoned needle.”
“I guess you’ve been reading -,h«
sensational stories about the “needle
men’ in New York,” he said. Inves
tigation disclosed that the woman had
arrived in Atlanta not on Friday, but
several weeks ago.

RESINOL CURED
AWFUL ITCHING
IN ONE NIGHT
New York. April 26, 1913.—“The sklr
on my hand got red and rough. It
itched and I began to scratch it. I 1
itched so that sometimes I could no!
sleep at night. I was suffering vert
much. I used salve and
but they did not seem to help me. Thl?
went on for six or seven months. Ther
I tried Kesinol Ointment and Resino
Soap. I used them one night. In the
morning, to my surprise, my hand was
all well and the trouble has never re
turned. This is the absolute truth."
