other explana ton. Amalgamated Copper
and United States Rubber stocks moved
upwards at the last and there was a sudden
recovery in Delaware and Hudson. The
late hardening in the market brought some
prices slightly above last night and re-
duced the net changes in all classes TO
small proportions. The heavy tone that IN
the early part of the day was partly due
to the sympathetic affect of the relapse OF

the weakness of Rock Island in face of re
iterated assertions that the amalgamation
of the companies had been completed.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May S.-The cotton market
opened steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of points and ruled very ner-

continued covering actively, influenced by
the higher Liverpool cables and renewed
manipulation with all the months except
October November and December touch
ing a new high level for the season. AL
most Immediately May sold up to 1101

and July reached 1922 against 1920, the
previous high price with the general list
showing an advance as compared with the
closing figures of the preceding night of /
to Is points At this level the bull clique
filled demands for the nearby months suffi
GENTLY to ease values off and May sold
down to 1887, with July touching 1914 and
August $50. The weather reported through
the South was favorable and port receipts
for the day slightly exceeded those of last
year this leading to selling of the late
months which were relatively weak during
the entire session. The weekly statistics
proved rather more bullish than expected.
however, the into sight for the week fall
ing short of expectations and the Southern
spot markets ruled firm at advances of Is
to IA. These factors restricted sales and
the clique again supporting May, there was
a partial recovery from the lowest in the
later dealings with May selling back to

FARMERS INSURANCE co.
Important and Interesting Meet
ing Held Saturday.

The members of the Farmers In
surance Co. of Terrell county held
their annual meeting in the court
house Saturday morning, and elected
officers for the ensuing year and took
action in other matters of interest to
the organization. Mr.. B. F. Melton
was elected president, and Mr.. w. H.
Gurr secretary and treasurer. The
following gentlemen were chosen dis
trict directors: A. J. Baldwin, J. j.
Stevens, w. S. Thornton, j. H. Sem,
G. F. Oxford, E. S. Pinkston and A.
@. Hill.
1t was decided to increase the next
assessment for the purpose of accum-
ulating surplus with which to meet
losses promptly as they occur.
There are some members, it seems,
who have not paid past assessments,
and Secretary Gurr was instructed to
collect from the delinquents, even il
it is necessary to sue them.

GETS $4,000 OF ITS BONDS
TERRELL COUNTY BUYS THAT MUCH OF
ITS ISSUE DUE NINE YEARS HENCE.
Effort of County Commissioners to Buy
Court House Bonds Due in 1904 Has
Met With Partial Success.

Last weeks News stated that the
board of county commissioners had
authorized Chairman S. r. Christie to
use part of the county's surplus cash
in buying the second installment OF
court house bonds-S12,0CO bearing six
per cent interest, and due in 1872 If
they could be secured at LIS.
Chairman Christie Immediately be.
gan correspondence with the original
purchasers of the bonds with the re-
suit that he has already secured $40
of them. They were paid for and can
celed last Saturday.
This amount of the bonds, including
the premium and exchange, cost the
county S4,622. 10, which is considerably
less than would have been the cost had
the bonds been allowed to mature.
There are yet SIS, 900 of this installment
of the bonds outstanding, and the COM
missioners hope that they will be able
to buy them also.

PEACH CROP SAFE.
The Freeze Monday Night Makes
Fruit Men More Confident of
Good Fruit Year,

No little apprehension has been felt
here for several days past regarding
the safety of the fruit crop on account
of the warm and cloudy weather, and
the freeze Monday night was a well
come visitor to fruit men of Terrell
countY,it causing them to more cheer
fully view the outlook for successful
harvest of the luscious Elberta and
its kindred Of the peach tribe.
AS a result of the recent warm
weather many peach trees were al
most budding out, while in some places
few blossoms were visible on the
late bearing trees which are first to
bloom. The trees which were so far
advanced were, of course. more or less
injured but the Elbertas and other
varieties for shipping purposes have
escaped, though another week of
balmY weather would haYe put
them in full bloom, and bad the freeze
of Monday night been delayed ten
days it would have proven disastrous
to them.
Within recent years large orchards
have been planted in the vicinity of
Dawson and the peach crop as a money
producer has become second only to
cotton.
During the past year many carloads
of fine peaches we're shipped from this
county and new orchards that will
come into bearing this year will great
ly increase the output.

WILL COTTON GO HIGHER?
1t Is Now 0l-4 Cents, but Ware.
houses Are Empty.

The bdllish feeling in the cotton
market continues, and ct cents was
freely offered for middlings in Dawson
Monday, with very little selling.
An investigation by The News de-
veloped that there are not more than
125 bales in the local warehouses, and
it is believed that there is practically
none on the farms.
Several hundred bales have been
sold on the local market however,
since cotton reached 9 cents.
Many local spectators believe that
the end is not yet, and confidently look
to see cotton sell for 10 cents or more
by May. The spinners seem to be al
last waking up to the fact that the
crop has all been marketed, and are
disposed to take what is left at any
price that is asked for it.

The teachers and officers of the
Methodist church have organized "a
Bible study circle, which meets
monthly. The lessons are a normal
course for the training of teachers for
the important work in which they are
engaged. Scarcely any work yields
better or more lasting results than
that of instruction in the Sunday
school, hence the importance of study
and training for the delicate duties.
All the teachers and prospective
teachers and any who may be inter
ested in this good work are invited to
attend these classes. The meeting
for this month will be held at the
Methodist parsonage tonight (Wednes'

Treasury from Fertilizers.

The Georgia agricultural depart.
ment has paid into the treasury of the
state since October l $4,000 arising
from the sale of fertilizer tags and
SO, 900 from the inspection of oils.
These amounts were paid in after all
expenses of collection and inspection
had been deducted. This is regarded
as a remarkable showing, and Commits
sioner Stevens is very much pleased
with the result.
1t is believed that the sale of fertil-
izer tags will be heavier this year
than ever before, as 1t is said the gu
ano sales are very large, and that the
factories are working overtime to fill
their orders.
Commissioner Stevens says the farm
ers are hard at work, and are expect
ing very fine crop year.
