New York, April 21.

The sensational drop in the price
of potatoes may mean cheaper food
of all kinds. Farmers are closing
out their supply of old potatoes for
as little as 20 cents bushel, which
is the lowest price in many years.
Other foods are also cheaper.
As a result of its investigations,
The American Agriculturist for
April %, in part, will say:
"a marked decline has occurred
in the prices of certain food prod
ucts. II this decline continues much
longer the commissions that are
investigating high prices will find
themselves out of job.
Compared to the high price of
wheat las year, the market at Chi
cago shows a decline of II cents.
The decline in corn from the high
point of last year is 10 cents, oats
20 cents.
"These declines in grain are re-
Elected in mill feds. Wheat bran is
selling in the West at SIS or Sc a
ton less than previous quotations,
decline of 81 per cent, while mid
dlings have declined at New York
points about SO ton, or IL per
cent
"Cotton-seed meal is off SO to $4
or to 10 per cent. Cotton itself is
fraction Of a cent a pound less
than in January, showing a decline
of about per cent.
Potatoes have never been so low,
wholesale prices now being 40 to
so per cent lower than in November.

Firtyfiye million dollars is rough
estimate made of the loss in this
years fruit crop by the cold temper
atures and blizzardous conditions
which obtained throughout the Upper
Mississippi Valley Friday night and
Saturday and Sunday, and extended
as far east as Ohio, and as far south
as the middle of Arkansas.
Less than one-fourth of the flakes
remained on the ground, which had
been warmed by the recent real
spring weather
The temperature at 8 O'Clock Sat.
urday morning was 2S,4 degrees, the
coolest of any day later than April 20
in the seventyfour years record kept
by the local Weather Bureau.
Snow was general in Missouri
throughout the day, and with evening
the flakes fell thicker and thicker.
Toward midnight a verltable storm

Fear is expressed by conservative
observers in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa

To the People of Georgia:
l hereby announce my candidacy
for the Office of State Treasurer, Sub
ject to the democratic white primary
of 1910, to be held on date to be
selected by the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee.
In making this announcement I
feel that it is appropriate for me to
say that my services for seven years
in both branches of the legislature
during which time many of the pres
ent laws relating to banks and bank
ing were enacted, and my service at
the same time on the house commit
tee on banks and banking by which.
these laws were considered, has civ
en- me clear insight into the Geor-.
gia laws concerning banking and fin
ance.
In addition to the foregoing exper-
fence, 1 have been, for fifteen years,
president of the Elberton Loan G.
Savings Bank, IN which capacity [
may say 1 have gained wide practical
experience, concerning the operation
of these laws; and, as a result of
which I am in position to recommend
certain improvements in the present
laws which will better safeguard the
interests Of the depositors in Geor-
gia's state banks.
If elected to this important posi-
ton, l shall give my every effort to
the faithful discharge Of it's duties,
to assist me in which I shall secure
the services of trained, expert and
capable assistants.
I respectfully request the favor
able consideration of the democratic
voters of the state.

A MORNING THOUGHT

Let me today do something that shall
take
A little sadness from the worlds
vast store,
And may | be so favored as to make
OF joys too scanty sum a little
more.
Let me not hurt by any selfish deed
Or thoughtless word, the heart of
foe or friend;
Nor would pass, unseeing, worthy
need,
Or sin by silence when | should de-
fend.
However meager be my worldly
wealth
Let me give something that shall
aid my kind,
A wcrd of courage, or a thought of
health,
Dropped as l pass for troubled
heart to find.
Let me tonight look back across the
span
'Twix dawn and dark, and to my
conscience say
Because Of some good act to least or
man,
The world is better that ! lived
today"
