IT now seems to be the popular
thing for periodicals to publish roasts
of insurance companies. While there
is very little doubt that some of the
methods of some of the insurance com
panies are not what they should be, it
is foolish and unreasonable to enter
into wholesale accusations against
these institutions generally. They
have been great blessing to the
country.
DOUBTLESS remembering ''Fads
and Fancies" the LAGRANGE Graphic
offers this threat: Dear reader, we
are preparing a book called Pads
and Pantaloons.' The price is only
sl5. 200, 900 copy. Unless you sub
scribe for one we will put in it all
about your false teeth and that hole
in your Sunday breeches. Now is the

THE United States government has
assumed control of the yellow fever
situation in New Orleans. 1t is to be
hoped that the efforts of government
experts will prove as effectual there as
in Havana and there is good reason
to believe that they will soon have the
matter of eradication we'll in hand.

IMPROVE STREETS AND WALKS.

Ithas become a current saying that
the roads in the country are better
than the streets in Dawson. Citizens
are outspoken in expressions concern
ing the condition of the city's side
walks. 1t is unquestionably true tina
the streets and walks are far from
being what they should. We are
neither DESTROYS nor able to lay the
blame for this condition of affairs to
any particular official or officials.
We do feel it our duty to voice the
sentiments of the citizens generally,
and ask that something be done in
the matter.
If the city hasn't enough money to
satisfactorily work it's streets, then it
should levy a tax sufficient for this
demand.

The News appreciates these kind
words of it's contemporary. Without
attempting the AlphOnse-Gaston style
of reply, we can say in all sincerity
that The Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News sets a pace of excellence that we
would do we'll to follow.
A New YORK actress, against whom
a judgement for $105 has been obtain
ed, saws, 81 have nothing except my
voice, my dog Riddles, my cat Polly,
and my husband" We wonder If she
enumerates her possessions in anti
climactic order of Importance.
A special announces the scarcity of
money at Saratoga. We are wonder
ing where the value of such news
item comes in. Certainly not for
uniqueness. Possibly it's because the
use of Saratoga chips will be de-
creased.
IT seems to be fad among some
northern journals these days to en-
dorse the south's treatment of the
negro. Any attitude of theirs on the
question, however, should make very
little difference to the south.
FIGURES of the census bureau show
that the per capita wealth of the
United States is 1928. Before we

For the first time in its history the
Central of Georgia railway has de-

IT'S a pity the Shah of Persia
couldn't have come to America
in time to have participated with
those New Orleans citizens in their
General Cleaning up Day"
IT is said that Speaker Cannon will
oppose any raids on the national
Treasury To which the Washington
Post replies, sit is never profitable
to rob an empty safe"
The Savannah News thinks that
Yellow Jack should be very cautious
about making it's advent into Missis-
sippi. Governor Vardaman draws the
color line SO closely.
OF late years some skeptics have
ridiculed the virtue of lightning rods.
But some of US old-fashioned folks
and presidential candidates continue
to put them up.
DOWN in New Orleans they have
set today as General Cleaning Up
Day" and proclaimed it national
holiday. Not bad idea for other
towns to follow.
AN Alabama girl recently peppered
bird of fellow with gun load of

SECRET service men say very little
counterfeit money is now being made.
What's the use when some kind of
government jobs are still to be had?
DOES the reading public of Georgia
like scandal stories and yellow journ
alism generally? Evidently some
newspapers in the state think so.
IT strikes us that the mixing of all
those peace ENJOYS names would
cause a combustion that would scare
the dove away.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Declines at Other Points Cause !
slump in May Wheat
BY Assoclaied Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The slump in the
wheat market occurred late in the day.
The opening was steady with May
shade lower to q shade higrer at $1.16S
M117.
Increased receipts in the northwest
had tendency to create a bearish
sentiment al the start, but news from
the southwest was sufficiently bullish
to prevent any great amount OF selling.
Arrivals at Kansas City and ST. Louis
today were only $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with 256,000 bushels a year ago.
After selling off to 81 16A az, Nav
advanced to $1.17A on fair demand
from commission houses. The buying
was partly the result of firmness of
cables. Extreme cold weather i'm the
northwest was also a decided factor.
The effect of the cold wave, it is
claimed, would be a material decrease
in receipts. Later I'm the day the
market was somewhat affected by the
weakness of coarse grains, but showed
onlypa slight loss.
During the last hour. however, wheat
became decidedly weak following de-
clineS at Minneapolis and st. Louis. A
report from Minneapolis that some Of
the mills there would close owing to
poor demand for flour was apparently
the most important influence. The May
option touched $1.16B and closed at
$1.16b@A.
Heavy liquidation by prominent
long caused weakness in corn, which
closed almost at the low point. May
opened a shade to h@Hc higher at
45c to 458c, and closed at 44s@%c.
More interest was manifested in oats
than has been in evidence for months.
May closed slightly lower at 30h@Ac.
Provisions were weak on selling
brought out by anticipations that the
monthly statement of contract stocks
would show a considerable increase.
At the else May pork was off 12hc.
lard was down 10@121c, and ribs DC
lower.

Like a bolt from a clear sky came
the information yesterday afternoon
that the butter board had reduced
creamery butter from 671s cents

drop of " cents and was made
at an extra session of the board yes.
terday morning. The price was billed
to go In effect this morning, but IL is
said that the trade generally knew
of the cut, and some insiders espe-
cially got the tip early, causing the
low rate to be practically in effect
many hours before the new basis be
came public property.
For several days the opinion has
been expressed in trade circles that
drop had to come as the high prices
attracted large shipments to this mar
ket from all northern centers. Rains
and feed have made the output of
butter larger, and the outlook for in
creased receipts evidently caused the
sudden and terrific plunge downward.
one factor that is admitted to have
caused the decline is that the inde-
pendent butter dealers have been SELL
ing the life out of the market under
67Rc, and have forced the board COM
bine people to act to save the buttered
side of the commercial bread.
EGGS STEADY-Wfile receipts of

in weeks the egg quotation commit
tee on the Produce exchange yester-
day again fixed the selling price of

is reported good and few are carried
over, as the stocks are about enough
to keep the market level.
Cheese is unchanged at the moment,
the demand being active and stocks
ample for all needs.
POTATOES RULE FIRM-In the
potato market the best of undercur-

will be sustained for long time
Onions are also steady. and fancy Sc

fish were in large supply yesterday.
The demand was good but offerings
were beyond market needs Sea bass
seemed to overshadow all other kinds.

Ducks were scarce. some rabbits
came in and geese were in fair sup
ply.
FRUITS AND TRUCK-Two car
loads of bananas came in yesterday
and jobbed from 31a@4k cents
pound on condition and ripeness.
Jobbers find the market glutted with
the special orange pack and the Oat-
man brand proves a slow seller. The
fruit is good, but the prices are high.
Glendale strawberries are 12@15c a
box and fancy Tropico, 16@18c.
Lemons are more active, and fancy
grape fruit $500 box.
