"Here's the way we look at It." he vent on. “The provision calls for eight to twelve’ regional hanks. That means cither eight or twelve. I take 1t. » number between hardly would lie 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 flxpd at four. But with as many as eight—well, I don’t see how we can be passed by." Arguments for Committee. Mr. Davis waH asked about the ar- gumenta that would tie offered to the organisation committee when It met here for Its public hearing In Febru- ,ir “For one thin*," he replied, "we’ll show them that Atlanta ia situated, geographically, in the center of the Southeastern territory of the United States There la no getting around that point. “Next, we purpose to show tnai Atlanta already is the financial cen ter of the whole South, not to restrict it to the 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- iounding any other Southern city. “I that New Orleans and Hou«- f ton alee are on the ‘visiting list’ of tiie big committees. Now, so far as New Orleans is concerned, it was shown long ago that Atlanta s tribu- tary section comprises more than twice the size and scope of that served by New Orleans.

Then Mr. Davis spoke of other ad- \ antages to he derived from the es tablishment of a regional hank In At lanta. "Here’s a copy of the new act wo lust received from hte Fourth Na tional Bank of New York,” he said. It’s beautifully printed and gotten up, but 1 must admit it would tuke a Philadelphia lawyer to fathom It on the first few readings. 1 suppose there are crude provisions In It. as well 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 ,. jfo along.

To-day 250 poor children of At lanta are worfdering 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 symboli cal of an ancient legend in which ail the people bring white gifts to the King or Christ Child. The lecture loom of the church, in which the en tertainment was given carried out the idea, being decorated in cotton, which gave a showy 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 "white Christmas" lasted from 3 o'clock to 5. A dozen—mayb* thirteen—produce firms are to move off South Broad street soon after the first of the year, and there is a good deal of wonder as to what sort of district that busy sec tion will develop next, after the pro duce men have taken up their new stations along 1’roduce row, between Washington street and Central ave nue. The sixteen buildings—three sto ries, elevators, doi.e In concrete— won't be ready by January 1, it seems. But they wiU 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 what 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 a 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 when they could move In a body. Large Firms Involved. “I understand the new ’row’ won’t be ready for occupancy before March I , 1," said one dealer. "My Idea is that all the boys ought to go together; I there’s no system in splitting up the ! territory, as would be the case If thev j moved a few at a time. ‘Personally, I’d rather pay rent at the new place after It is ready and stay on hero until the bunch goes. My lease runs until next fall.” The produce men Involved In the prospective move are McCullough Bros., the Wllllams-Thompson Com pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the Gallmand-Cheves Company, the Barnes-Fain Company, the Fidelity Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu- gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa ny, Wigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan Produce Company, Conlev & Ennis, Porter Bros, ani^ West Bros. Among the property owners are Frank Coker.
