PROBING FOOD PRICES
FIELD AGENTS ARE NOTIFIED TO
INQUIRE INTO CAUSES.
Find Out If Prices Are Being
ArtificialIy Raised.

Observation-Disclosures of the
department of commerce began their
work today as part of the investiga-
ton ordered by President Wilson to
determine if food prices in this coun-
try are being artifcially raised be-
cause of the European war. These
instructions were sent to field agents
in New York, Boston, Seattle, Chi
cago, Atlanta and New Orleans.
You are instructed to inquire i'm
mediately and carefully whether
there has been a recent rise in retail
prices in your city and vicinity, and
if so on what articles.
Special attention should be given
to foodstuffs and articles of clothing
and other necessities. Learn whether
the advance, if it exists, is general
or confined to particular commodities
and if so what ones. Find If it has
been sudden or gradual, if any ar
ticles have fallen in price, state the
facts concerning them. Learn what
reasons are given for any advance
that may have occurred, and inquire
particularly as to whether reasons
are the actual ones.
"Give special care to determining
if there has been any advance due to
speculation, either on the general war
situation or on the temporary delay
in ocean transit. Consider whether
a fair stock exists Or is available of
any commodity that may have been
advanced and whether the facts show
a purpose to use the war situation
to secure undue extra prices.
Study to learn if any combination
exists for the advances of prices I'M
der existing conditions. When the
facts shall have been determined suf-
ficiently to give a clear idea of the
general situation report them
promptly to the chief of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
and continue the inquiry subject to
his instructions.

SLATON signs new INSURANCE Law
Companies May Now Build Up Bust
ness i'm Georgia Without Being
Harassed by the DisgruntIed.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Slaton
has signed the new insurance bill,
and it has become law, and hence
forth life insurance companies oper-
ating in Georgia may go ahead and
build up their business without be-
ng harasse3 by every malevolent per-
son who for some trumped-up rea-
son might choose to bring receiver
ship proceedings against them.
For years the hardest factor a
home company has had to combat
was trivial lawsuits. Any dissatis-
fed person or agent of some unscrup-
ulous hold-up expert might go to the
courts and ask that a receiver be ap-
pointed for the company. No mat
ter how trivial the charges the COM
pany would be dragged into the
courts, a great deal of publicity
would result and the standing of the
company would be injured exceed
ingIy while the case was pending, Of
ten for many months, even though Ii
was declared solvent in the end.
Under the new law any person de-
string to bring receivership proceed
ings must first lay his cause before
a commission composed of the gov
ernor, the attorney general and the
insurance commissioner. If they
ind his case has merit they will is
sue a certificate to that effect and he
may go to the courts armed with ex-
cellent evidence. If the commission
finds the company apparently solvent
and the charges not we'll grounded
the complainant may still have GER
tificate in it's favor with which to
combat the suit. 1t is expected that
in future the complainant will have
his facts before he goes to court and
asks for a receiver.

CHINANAN BUYS and HOLDS COTTON
He Will Await Higher Prices, Due to
Improved Conditions.


ALBANY, Ga.-An unusual deal
in cotton was pulled off in Albany
this afternoon, when Joe Nee Lee,
proprietor of the Joe Ton laundry,
bought 60 bales Of cotton at cents
a pound and stored it in a ware
house to await an improvement in
conditions, due to the European war,
when he expects to get 10 or A cents
for it.
Joe's deal in cotton was an actual
purchase of the actual cotton, and
he paid down $1,1O0 to bind the bar
gain, the balance to be paid when
the cotton is weighed and delivered.
At an average weight of 500 pounds
to the bale the deal will represent
$4,000 in hard cash-and Joe did
not have to go to bank to get his
first payment, either.
To his friends Joe said that when
cotton goes a little lower he is going
to buy more.

BATTLE IN AIR AT Ell Ten, BELGIUM
Mrs. West of Montgomery Tells of
Witnessing Thrilling Fight of
AerOplanes From Train.

NEW YORK.-Mrs. NJ. E. Harris
West of Montgomery, Ala, a pas
senger on the Nieuw Amsterdam,
which arrived from Rotterdam last
night, told of having witnessed a
fight in the air near Ell Ten, Belgium.
The party of which Mrs. West was a
member left Berlin two days after
war was declared, proceeding into
Belgium on a troop train. Her story
of the fight follows:
Con reaching Ell Ten on the from
tier we were startled at the sound
of firing. Our attention was at
tracted aloft, where we saw several
aeroplanes circling about.
THE soldiers told us that several
of the aeroplanes were French and
that their pilots probably were on
accommodating expedition. Several
German aeroplanes also were in the
air and shots were exchanged be-
tween them and the Frenchmen.
"The train halted so suddenly that
we were damned against each other.
The soldiers hastily disembarked and
trained their guns in the direction of
the Frenchmen. One of the French
machines was seen to wobble and fall
precipitateIy to the ground. Whether
it was caused by the German gun fire
we were not able to learn"

WINNERS IN THE STATE.
SMITH HAS BIG MAJORITY, AND

SIaton Leads For Short Term Sena-

to Settle the Fight.

1t is apparent from complete or
partial returns from IA of the 14S
counties that in the state primary
"Wednesday Senator Smith was given
a sweeping majority over Governor
Brown for the long term senatorship.
Governor Slaton has carried a plu-
rality of the popular vote for the

votes to nominate on the first bal
lot.
Hardwiek runs second and Fielder
third, with a greater difference be-
tween Fielder and Hardwick than
there is between Slaton and Hard
wick.
That fight, therefore inevitably
goes to the Macon convention on
September End for settlement, and a
bitter contest is certain.
Judge NAT Harris of Macon has
won the governorship beyond a
doubt. Hardman runs good sec
ond, with Anderson hopelessly in the
rear.

No Basis For Legal Sale.
ATLANTA.-B. ]. Lawrence, prin-
cipal, and Bryan Lawrence, surety, of
Augusta, won their case in the SUI
preme court today against the F. w.
Cook Brewing Co., of Evansville,
Ind.
Lawrence. made a contract with
the Cook brewers for the exclusive
handling of their product in Augusta.
A dispute evidently arose over the
amount due the brewer by Lawrence
and suit was instituted against the
Augustans.
This contract stipulated given
price IF. o. b. Augusta This is the
thing on which Lawrence won.
Botn parties to the contract treat
ed the sale as one of intoxicating
Aeers, and a contention arose as to
whether the sale was consummated>
in Augusta or Evansville. In the
lower court the petition was dismiss
ed on motion as setting forth no
cause for action. The supreme court
held that under the contract, which
was made a part of the petition, the
sale of beer ordered and received by
defendants was in Augusta and not
Evansville, therefore there was no
legal basis for action.
1t is stated that the sale was treat
ed, if made in Georgia, as being in
violation of the penal code, section
1926, prohibiting the sale or keeping
for sale of beers which if drunk to
excess produce intoxication, and that
no recovery can be had for the sale
of such beers within the state OF
Georgia. There seemed to be no is
sue raised to contravert the idea that
the Evansville concerns output
would cause a souse if drunk" to
excess"
Conviction Reversed.
The supreme court also reversed
the conviction of S. D. Butler of
Laurens county, who killed j. M.
Williams in Dublin. There ives no
eye witness to the killing, it being set
up that the tragedy occurred in a
drinking bout of the two men.
Reversal was on the score that the
states attorney erred in attacking,
without rebuke from the judge, the
character of the defendant when it
had not been put into evidence. With
this reversal Justices Lumpkin and
Fish disagreed, holding that it did
not apply in this particular case.
The case was tried before the late
Judge X J. Hawkins.
The supreme court handed down
a large batch of opinions this morn
ing. This court has the largest dock
ct in it's history, and for the first
time in many years will be unable to
take any vacation. The court is
working overtime to decide cases and
the strain on the justices is very
