> ribe a cure President Wilson and
'.s Democrats, he declared, deserved
the thanks of the entire country. He
paid tribute to the five Cabinet mem
bers from the South, declaring they
are reflecting great credit on this
section.
Tn presenting Mr. McAdoo, Mr
Maddox declared the Secretary had
employed ’underground” methods in
some of his operations; had "bored”
Nev York and New Jersey, but would
doubtless be entertaining to his At
lanta audience
Mr. McAdoo’s Speech.
The reference to the Hudson tun
nel brought prolonged applause. Mr.
McAdoo sphke as follows:
"Fellow Georgians and old Mariet
tans who are seeking reserve banks:
I am not vain enough to mistake the
■ ordiallty of this reception. It is a
delightful experience to greet an au
dience that wants something. I take
this to boa tribute, not tn me. but to
the President whom we have the
honor to represent. Congress has
given us a polygamous duty We must
And light on twelve brides for Uncle
Sam.”
Mr. McAdoo proved himself an able
laconteur. and several excellent sto
; ies at this juncture relieved the se
rious tenor of his speech.
‘At least, this trip of ours, he re
sumed, "has revealed the fact that
there isn’t a single dependent city in
the United States and that the pas
sage of the currency bill was unnec
essary. I think it is a cause of felici
tation that wo have adopted a con
stitutional credit, for the currency bill
is just that. Any bill or any measure
that did not recall Hie financial cata
clysm of the past is a 100 per cent
bi!l.
Protection to Business.
"The banks that are protected by
this Federal reserve system are the
banks that the people are going to put
their money in. This bill is a pro
tection to the business interests not
to the borrowei»T interest necessarily
of this countrx The purpose of this
bill is to protect the business men
The bill and the party which gave it
birth are the first to prove themselves
alive to the real interests of the na
tion’s business.
What has ihe Democratic admin
ist rat ion done? We have settled the
tariff question. We have given you
an income tax law. I am glad to be
able to collect that tax You are all
in favor of It. I can see. Our peo
ple—you Atlanta people, especially—
Oon’t want unequal opportunities.
"We have arranged to have the

greatest step / ver taken in making
the American people brave and inde-
Strong Southern Feeling
Against Wall Street Cited
In a keen, logical argument on
facts. Senator Hoke Smith, one of the
framers of the currency bill. Satur
day evening in the United States
‘ ourt room In the Federal Building
presented Atlanta's final and strong
'*st argument for the establishment of
a reserve bank here
"I strongly counsel that under this
□rrency law the Southeastern sec
tion of this country should be ironic
a separate reserve district with a
separate reserve bank.” said Senator
Smith.
"Some gentlemen have put the
South in the false light of not being
a self-supporting section. I believe it
is a self-supporting part of the conn
in’ and 1 will prove It to you. It
would be more financially independ
ent with a reserve bank.
Only Twelve Banks Allowed.
"This hill requires the establish
ment of not less than eight reserve
banks, but it allows the establish
ment of twelve. There were those
men in Congress who wanted only
one central bank to serve the entire
country.
'Then, if the country were pros
perous. the bank would be prosper
ous and self-supporting.

bill. It says that these banks shall

ards. We have at the head of the na
tion a man of singularly infallible
judgment. He will exercise that Judg
ment for the general good.
s Politics Not to Count.
"The urreney’ question is not a lo
«al question, or a sectional question,
but a question of exalted patriotism,
i The banks must be located where they
1 will best serve the welfare of the
. American people, not of any particu-
I la r section. We don’t propose to
permit politics to influence us one
iota."
Comptroller Williams followed with
an eloquent, tribute to Senator Bacon I
as a good and faithful servant. Then,
referring to the regional bank ques
tion, he said:
"I propose to save time and admit
, everything In your regional bank ar
gument. although your lowest figures,
as I retail them, were twenty-one bll
, lion dollars.”
Mr. Williams predicted an era of
wonderful prosperity for the great
Southeastern section of which Atlanta
is the geographical and commercial
center.
Praises Senator Smith.
"I wish to tell the people of Geor
gia that they have in Senator Hoke
Smith an opponent of special privi
lege an I monopoly,” said Mr. Wil
liams "He has fought that prepon
derance <>f wealth in New York City
whic h improperly used its vast wealth
for unlawful speculation to make a
few men rich to the impoverishment
of the many.
“When President Wilson put his
signature to the currency bill he
sounded the death knell of the money
trust.”
Secretary Houston introduced him
self with the declaration that he hail
ed from North Carolina, a valley of
humility between two mountains of
conceit.
He discussed the bank question only
In a general way, told several inter
esting stories and concluded with i
feeling tribute to Senator Bacon.
Always Welcome Here.
In closing. Toastmaster Maddox re
marked that the bank organization
committee always will find in Atlanta
a hospitable bank where the regional
reserve board may have cashed any
drafts they make upon it.
Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo, at the conclusion of the
banquet, turned to Colonel Robert
Lowry and said:
"t’olonel, J want you to give me a
menu of this banquet. I want to
send it to my daughter and have
her keep It as a memento of one of

nings I have known ”

Senator Smith’s Plea for
Reserve Bank in Atlanta
14 T STRONGLY counsel that under this currency law the ;
I Southeastern section of this country should be made a j
separate reserve district with a separate reserve bank.
“Some gentlemen have put the South in the false light of
not being a self-supporting section. I believe it is a self-sup
porting part of the country and I will prove it to you. It would
be more financially independent with a reserve bank.
‘ ‘ Convenience is emphasized in this bill. It says that these
banks shall be located conveniently’ to the territory they serve, j
I advocate such a bank for Atlanta, to serve the territory of <
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, eastern Tennes
see and western North Carolina.

Hoke Smith before the regional bank investigators.
the Senator's next remark that At
lanta also is the second largest mule
market in the world.
McAdoo Gets in Quip.
"Do you mention that with pride?"
asked Secretary McAdoo.
"I believe the time will come,” con
tinued Senator Smith, seriously, "when
the South will not buy a pound of
beef, nor a horse, nor a mule, in the
North."
Senator Smith then stated that At
lanta’s 1913 building record exceeded
that of any city in the South. He was
Interrupted by W. P. G. Harding, of
Birmingham, who presented figures
showing that Birmingham’s building
operations exceeded those of Atlanta
in 1913
"I hadn’t verified It," explained Sen
ator Smith. "I was told, and believed.
But we’re friendly to Birmingham.
We ll even give them a branch of the
regional bank when we get it in At
lanta."
No Second Choice.
"What would be your second
choice, if the bank could not come
here?” asked Mr. McAdoo.
"I have no flseond choice. There is
none." replied the Senator.
"But if there had to be?” insisted
Mr McAdoo.
“I would choose Washington ’

Good Night! Last
Word in Stockings
NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—The very
latest is the "good-night" stocking.
A watch dial, with the hands an
nouncing 1 o’clock, is embroidered on
the stocking about halfway between
knee and ankle. Underneath the dial
are the words, "Good-night,” in white
letters. A woman was seen wearing
one of these stockings in the Ritz

the other and, thanks to the split
skirt, the clock and Inscription showed
plainly.

POOR HURD NIT

APPEAL FOR AID
City Warden Declares Poverty Is
on Increase in Atlanta Despite
Prosperous Times.
The cold wave has brought to City
Warden Thomas Evans several hun
dred appeals for help and a continua
tion will mean real distress in many
parts of the city.
"The appeals are not unusual for
weather this cold," said Warden Ex -
ans. "The unusual thing is that they
have been that high almost every day
since Christmas.
"Poverty in Atlanta is on the in
crease, in spite of the general pros
perity. Since Christmas there have
been from 35 ft, 75 requests for help
every day. L’p until this year the
number never exceeded 25 a day. ex
cept in extreme cold or when snow
was on the ground.
Needs Are Real.
"The increased needs of Atlanta’s
poor this year are real. They have
been constant, and I have investigat
ed the cases. They come from wom
en and children who can’t make a
livelihood.”
Unless the weather office slipped a
cog, Sunday is to start out as a fine,
clear, cold day and continue in a gen
erally fair and bracing mood until
nightfall.
It should be a very pleasant day,
unless some water pipes (overlooked
Saturday night after due warning)
ejrplode with grievous effects when
thawed out in the cold, gray dawn of
the morning after.
Cold to Last, Says Expert.
Weather Forecaster VonHerrmann
predicted that a temperature of about
22 degrees would be experienced in
Atlanta and vicinity, and that the
cold would be pretty well maintained
throughout the day, without much
wind.
Prospects for Monday looked fa
vorable for the same sort of jveather,
with perhaps higher temperatures.
The worst part of the cold snap, Mr.
VonHerrmann said, was over with the
freezing rain of Friday and the raw*
wind of Saturday morning, although
other parts of the country will be ex
posed to inclement and uncomfortable
conditions for some time after At
lanta is well on the way to fine
weather again.

Revenue Cutter to
Carry Aeroplanes
WASHINGTON; Feb. 14. —The
Hearst newspapers learned to-day of
a plan to Increase the efficiency of the
Revenue Cutter Service by the ac
quirement of twin screw hydro-aero
planes. As soon as this new type of
air craft can be found to satisfy all
the requirements of the officials it will
be installed. Each cutter will be
equipped with one machine.
The main reason given for the need
of such craft is the present difficult
method of locating derelict steamers.

It is a wonderful remedy in the prevention of consumption, pneumonia, malaria
and low fevers if taken as directed. It has been before the public for more than
half a century and its wide popularity as a medicine of known value has caused
many unreliable dealers to put up imitations and substitutes with which to
fool the people When you are offered a substitute claiming to be "just as
good ’ as Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, depend upon it that the dealer is thinking
of his profits only and has no regard for your health.

Hair Remedy,’ ready to use; but
listen, avoid preparations put up by
druggists as they usually use too
much sulphur, which makes the hair
sticky. Get "Wyeth's” which can al
ways be depended upon to darken
beautifully and is the best thing
known to remove dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair.
By using Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. It does it so nat
urally and evenly—you moisten a
sponge or soft brush, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time which requires but
a few moments. Do this at night and
by morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two its
natural color is restored and it be
comes glossy and lustrous and you
appear years younger.—Advt.
