No Necessity for Smoke.
All excuse for keeping Atlanta a
smokey city has been removed by the
establishment of the immense water
power at Tallulah, according to a state¬
ment made by 13. M. Hall, consulting
engineer of Atlanta, in an address be¬
fore the mechanical science and engi¬
neering department of Georgia Tech.
Mr. Hall points out that within a 100
mile radius around Atlatna there is 1,-
153,000 horsepower, and that within a
radius of 150 miles the available horse¬
power runs over three millions.
The part that this wonderful devel¬
opment and the tower lines of the
Georgia Railway and Tower company
will play in the future upbuilding of
Georgia, Mr. Hall said, was so great
that it could not be estimated, if
properly utilized it will make Georgia
the richest manufacturing state in the
whole country, and at the same time
will play a great part in the develop¬
ment of cities and the improvement
of municipal conditions.
Better Days Ahead for Georgia.
“The day is near at hand when the
people of Georgia and this section of
the South will manufacture what they
eat, and what they wear,” declares
President J. C. Hadeu of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, in a leading
article in Frost’s Magazine, The Cali
of the South, which, like other publi¬
cations throughout the state, Is co-op¬
erating to the extent of its ability in
the state chamber work.
While Frost’s Magazine has no offi¬
cial connection with the state cham¬
ber of commerce, a coming issue of the
magazine is going to be devoted espe¬
cially to the state chamber movement
and other interesting articles in addi¬
tion to that by President Haden will
appear in it.
The state chamber of commerce is
receiving in all parts of the state the
splendid co-operation and aid of
ous weekly and other publications
which are interested in the
cial and agricultural prosperity of
section.
A series of cartoons by Frank
ton, Jr., son of the Georgia poet,
voted to state chamber of commerce
interests, will from time to time ap¬
pear in "The Call of the South.”

Parcels weighing four ounces or
less are mailable at the rate of one
cent for each ounce, regardless of
zone or distance. A fraction of an

Federal Aid For Good Roads.
That congress will at this session
pass a bill giving federal aid to the
states in the building of good roads
is the settled conviction of Gordon
Lee, representative front the seventh
congressional district. The bill will,
in the opinion of Mr. Lee, carry with
it an appropriation of at least $20,
000 , 000 .
Mr. Lee was in Atlanta on his way
j to Washington to resume his duties
j in congress and, while here, lie talk¬
ed very interestingly of the growth of
the good roads sentiment and of the
strength to which the movement for
federal,aid had attained in the pres¬
ent r«oi)itress. 4 * ' ■*
“It is very Important that the state
should get ready to acept the money
that will be offered it by the United
States government,'’ declared Mr.
Lee. "The legislature should pass a
bill at the next session providing for
i : a state highway commision or some
state department that would be in a
j | position and would to receive responsible the federal their funds
be for ex
| pendlture.”
Atlanta Wants Regional Bank.
The prospective success of Atlanta
in securing a regional bank will be a
state-wide triumph, in which not only
Atlanta, but every city of Georgia will
have a right to claim a part.
All petty jealousy has been put aside
and Georgia has united in advancing
the strong argument that Atlanta has
the largest and most central city of the
section, should have one of the big
central financial depots which Uncle
Sam is about to establish.
The strongest endorsements of the
idea have come from Macon, Columbus
and other Georgia cities. Clearing
House associations and chambers of
commerce have given the project their
unqualified endorsement.
Facts have been presented in Wash¬
ington, and hnve been strongly back¬
ed by United States Senator Hoke
Smith, showing that the southeastern
states are pre-eminently in need of a
reserve bank, and that the location of
Atlanta and the enormous business
done through Atlanta banks, place this
city far in the lead of other south¬
eastern cities for the choice of the
: ganization committee.
The postal receipts of Atlanta to
| day are larger than any city south
1 of Washington, Cincinnati, St. Louis
i and the bank clearings of Atlanta are
in excess of any other city in the same
! territory.
It is pointed out that the establish
ment of a regional bank in Atlanta
will be of almost as much benefit to
all the banks in Georgia as it will be
i to those located in Atlanta. The iin
portance of the establishment of the
I bank to the state as a whole is the
• thing which has brought about the
united sentiment in its favor.

LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CITIES
Senoia.—B. G. VV. Kempson, a high¬
ly respected and successful farmer,
residing neai Senoia, was thrown
from his buggy and broke his neck.
He had been to the miil and was re¬
turning home when his mule became
frightened at a hole in a bridge
across a branch, backed the buggy
off the bridge and threw Mr. Kemp¬
son out. The deceased was 69 years
of age on January 10, and is survived
by a wife and nine children.
Macon.—From the death of Mc
Ewen Johnston, whose will was of¬
fered for probate, and who left an
estate valued at approximately $750,
000, the state of Georgia will receive
in inheritance taxes about $7,500. As
this is the largest estate which has
become subject to (, „he inheritance
tax since the law was approved by
Governor Slaton on August 19 last,
some account of the operation of the
act will be of general interest.
Cedartown.—The record of fires for
the year 1913, as shown by the re¬
port of the chief of the fire depart¬
ment, S. W. Good, to the mayor and
city council, reveals some interesting
facts. The department answered
twenty-four alarms during the year,
four of which were false. The prop¬
erty loss was the small amount of
$43.75. Probably no city of equal
size in the United States can show
such a record.
Williamson.—John Shipp, newly
elected marshal, shot and killed Wil¬
liam Bibb, a negro, in a desperate
pistol duel just as three passenger
trains met here. Bibb, running to
cathch a train, dropped a pistol from
his pocket. When Shipp ordered him
to give up the pistol, the negro op¬
ened fire on the marshal, firing two
shots before Shipp got his gun. He
then shot and killed the negro almost
instantly. A large number of people
around the depot were within range,
but escaped the bullets,
Rome.—The prospect of extending
the Rome and Northern from its
present terminals at Gore to Sublig
na, a distance of eight mile?, has met
with approval throughout the terri¬
tory affected. A mass meeting of the
citizens of Spbligna to discuss the
matter has been called and a dele¬
gation of Romans will attend the
meeting. It is hoped to raise the
sum of $15,000 as a bonus to obtain
the extension, in addition to a free
right-of-way.
before Gordcle.—Tlu^/u^ua! Hhe cdMMssionetb report of ^Jjlrisp made
^ounty shows mat during the past
year seventy-one miles of public road
have been constructed, not including
the improvements made on the high¬
ways of the county from time to
time during the year. Though the
contmissioneis have purchased twelve
new steel bridges during the past
year, ranging in length from twelve
to th^Pands Attty feet, and costing several
of dollars, they have re¬
mained within their financial means
and have a considerable sum in the
treasury to Lake up their work during
the ensuing year.
Atlanta.-—According to a compara¬
tive statement-which has just been
completed r ----- by State ___ Treasurer ..— W. J.
Speer for his 1914 report, the state
banks found themselves in a much
more prosperous condition at the end
of 1913 than they in did at the corres¬
ponding period 1912. The total
resources of the 693 banks, which
are now operating as state banks,
show an increase of $3,693,000 over
the preceding year; cash on hand
has increased $7,098,043, and over¬
drafts have decreased $1,814,057.23.
Deposits have increased $1.5,872,849,
while bills payable show a decrease
of more than $15,000,000. Capital
stock has increased *1,100.000, while
surplus and profits show an increase
of $1,042,000.
Savannah.—Alexander Akerman,
United States district attorney for
the southern district of Georgia, has
been directed by the department of
justice in Washington to have reas¬
signed for trial the cases against
the members of the alleged naval
stores trust. The defendants are the
former officers of the American Nav¬
al Stores company that recently went
into liquidation. This determination
on the part of the department of jus¬
tice has caused much surprise in
Savannah, as it was believed that the
decision of the United States su¬
preme court in reversing the decision
of the United States district court,
where the defendants were convict¬
ed, would bring rhe case to a conclu¬
sion.
Thomasville.—The beginning of
the year 1914 finds the people of both
Thomasville and Thomas county in
a decidedly more optimistic frame pf
mind in regard to conditions gener¬
ally than was the case at this time
last year, and everything seems to
point to continued impjovement for
the year along all lines. Although
the past year began under very fa¬
vorable conditions it proved, after
all. to be one of the best known here
in some time and it has left both the
county and the town in better shape
than has been the case in several
Growing Children Need a Mild
Laxative to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.
j As child older it requires
a grows
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func¬
tions of the bowels are of the utmost
importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of cer¬
tain foods, A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious¬
ness to thousands, and a wholesome"
fruit like bananas constipating many.
It is also to be considered that the
child Is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ¬
ual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that It is
i given to little babies, and yet equally
| effective in the most robust constitu
j tion. At the first sign of a tendency
i to constipation give a small dose of

and bowels but Its tonic properties

Calumet the Secret of Economy
the The high cost of living nowadays, and
way prices are steadily climbing sky -
wards, is making economy In the kitchen
even more Important than it was In the
good old days of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There’s
the rub!
In many lines, It depends almost en¬
tirely on fhe housewife’s knowledge of
foods and on her watchfulness—but for¬
tunately, in one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the. use
of the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking, as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
In buying the materials aa on the success
of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu¬
met absolutely prevents failures has and
makes every baking successful made
tt the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words, Calu¬
met is the secret of economy in baking.
It Is the purest, too—attested by hun¬
dreds of leading physicians—and as for
its general quality, it is enough to say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two World's Pure Food Exposi¬
tions—one In Chicago, 111., and the other
in Paris, France, In March, 1912. Adv.
