A Peachtree Street land sale shows a 60 percent profit in under six months as P. F. Smith sold for $36,000 after purchasing for $21,600.

The trial, in Judge Reid's court, capped Fulton County's largest verdict to date. The case marked a significant civil award in the era.

Georgia Bankers urged to fund Southern Cotton Association drive
Treasurer John D. Walker of the Georgia division and secretary of the Southern Cotton Association executives spoke in Atlanta yesterday urging banks to push toward a $10,000 Southern Cotton Association fund. He said about half the amount is in hand but several Georgia banks have not contributed, due to perceived misapprehensions about benefits to Georgia business. Walker plans to contact hesitant banks and will travel to New Orleans for a Cotton Planters Holding and Commission Company meeting with W. P. Brown as president.
