Mrs. R. J. Holt, of No. 137 South
Mason avenue, tremblingly opened a
letter Tuesday irom “Somewhere in
France.” From this same “Somewhere
in France” two months ago had come
press reports that her son Bob, an
Atlanta boy, was among the Allies’
dead on French battle fields.
But Tuesday's letter was different.
It brought happy tidings. It said in
Gunner Bob's own handwriting that
he not only was very much alive, but
at that writing—September I—he was
one of the livest little scrappers in the
Royal Field Artillery—healthy and in
good luck.
“With the lack of sleep and other
things, 1 feel years older,” he savs.
“We that know ask ourselves how
long it can continue. Don’t think that
I am down-hearted; indeed I am quite
satisfied and contented. I am only
just beginning to realize what war is
and to see what men are made of.
And for their sake, the sooner over
the better.
“This “will be the last letter I will
write until I can send better news
Don't worry—if vou don‘'t hear from
me, you can always find out whether
I am dead, wounded, o’YV'..\h)’ writing

A big Maxwell automobile, owned‘;

from the alley next to the Grand!
Building Tuesday night, was found
early Wednesday on the railroad
tracks belowe McCall's bridge on Lee
street, near Oakland City. It has beeni
run off a 30-foot embankment and,
was badly smashed, ‘
The police had some trouble identi- |
fying the car until Dr. Hayes report-“
ed his loss. Patrolman Walt McWil
liams took him to the scene and he
identified the remains of the automo
bile. There was no evidence that the
thieves who ran the car over the bank
were injured. |
Persons living in the neighborhood
say they heard a loud crash in that
direction about 10 o'clock Tuesday
evening, at which time it is believed
the wreck occurred.
The car appeared to have turned at
least one complete somersault, and
the extreme drop and smashed con
dition of the machine make it seem
almost past belief that severe injury,
if not death, could hardly have been
escaped by the occupants,
the War Department, or, better stlll,‘
the American Consul at London.”

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
Members of the Merchants’' Credit
Association of Atlanta Wednesday
had a much better' understanding of
the banker's attitude toward the re-‘
tail merchant, following Asa Candler’s |
address before their dinner at the |
Hotel Ansley Tuesday evening. |
Mr. Candler’s address was in the
nature of a confldential talk from the
banker to the merchant, and he gave
them some views and advice in regard
to their relations with the bank that
he declared had proved of worth in
his own career.
“You must be perfectly honest with
your banker,” he said; “that is to say,
you must be on intimate relations
with him. You must make him your
greatest business confldant. Your le
gal adviser should come second.”
Mr. Candler cited instances in his
own business life as illustrative of
the confidence the banker can inspire
in the merchant.. He told of how, as
a struggling young business man, he
had at times lost confidence in him
self and was on the verge of giving
up absolutely, when the advice of the
banker had reassured him and made
possible his success.
“You muyst let your banker know
your exact financial condition, and he
will be glad to advise you. He is en
titled to know how you stand; it is
for your own success.”
Speaking on the dangers of unlim
ited credit, Mr. Candler sald:
“The man who buys o~ the install
ment plan and sells on the install
ment plan will not play out on the
installment plan; his business will
g 0 in a lump.”
Mr. Candler was Introduced by
Thomas C. Dickson, credit man of
the Rhodes=Wood Furniture Com
pany. The membership arose and
gave the next Mayor tremendous ap
plause,
Mr. Dickson, who presided over the
meeting, spoke on retail credit from
the standpoint of the installment
dealer, Successful credit business
must have the co-operation of all
credit men if the bad customers are®
to be weeded out, he deciared.
W. J. Mcßride, credit man of Da
vison-Paxon-Stokes Company, told of
department store credit, which he de
clared to be the most extensive in
modern merchandising. He outlined
the vast system in use in his store,
and gave hints for establishing a
credit method of 100 per cent effi
clency.
W. W. Orr, the association presi
dent, opened the meeting. A resolu
tion by Frederic J. Paxon called for
the appointment of a committee to
organize individual credit men in the
association into an inner circle.

Fremen worked until nearly day-‘
break Wednesday in extinguishing a
fire that started before midhight in
the cotton warehouse of Kenan, Mc-
Kay & Speir, Inc., at Irwin street
and the Southern Railway, and did
damage amounting to approximately
$15,000.
Filve hundred balés of cotton were
stored in the building, and practically
all of this was damaged. The ware
house, a wooden and corrugated iron
structure, extending along the rail
road for a distance of about half a
block, also was badly burned.
When the blaze was discovered, au
tomatic sprinklers on the building of
the Atlanta Compress Company, ai
rectly across from the plant, were
turned on it, and this was believed to
have saved the warehouse from total
destruction, the sprinklers retarding
the spread of the flames until the fire
men arrived. A lumber concern, ad
joining the warehouse, was slightly
damaged,
The fire proved one of the most
stubborn with which the firemen have
had to contend in a long while.
Detective Agencies
Feel Courts’ Wrath
Three private detective agencies Wed
nesday were given twent#-four hours by
Recorder Johnson to comply with the
city ordinance requiring bonds of such
agencies. They are, the Adams De
tective Agency, the Pinkerton Detec
tive Agency, and the Thiel Detective
Agency.
Representatives of the agencies had
been summoned to court by direction of
Chief Mayo on the ground that they had
failed to make bond as required by law.
JTM. Hewitt, of the Hewitt Detective
Agency, also was summoned, but no
action was taken in his case, as he was
said to be operating under a Confeder
ate veteran's license. The City Attor
*nv}' was instruoted to investigate his
case,
