COAL RAISE A CONSPIRACY

District attorneys, through the Unit
ed States department of justice, have
the official nationwide investigation of
food prices. 1t is claimed that sufic-
lent evidence has been gained to war
rant the statement that the present in
crease in the price of necessities is alb
normal and suspicious.
Investigations are centered on the
prices of flour, bread and coal. These
strike to the economic heart of the
nation.
Indictments in these sp~ecialties
would have a wholesome effect with
all other dealers, it is considered.
1t is believed to have been found
that there is a conspiracy between rail
roads and wholesalers to force up coal
prices. The investigators are dissatis-
fed with the excuse that a shortages
have caused the raises in coal prices,

SYNOPSIS OF WEATHER
FOR WEEK IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 24-Synopsis
of weather and crop conditions in
Georgia for the week ending Tuesday,
August %, 1916:
Showers are needed in many coun-
ties in the south-central portions of
the state and the hot, dry weather of
the past week was somewhat detri-
mental in that section. Generally,
however, cotton as well as ether crops
were benefited by abundant sunshine
and warmer weather. Cotton is begin
ming to open rapidly and picking is be-
coming general except in the north. In
the flooded areas the crop continues
poor, is shedding, and there will be no
top crop. Boil weevils are becoming
very destructive in the southwestern
portion Of the state. The weather was
very favorable for haying and pulling
fodder, and large quantities have been
safely housed. Sweet potatoes promise
a large yield; they are nearly ready to
harvest in the southern district. Sugar
can and peanuts are good.

O. H. B. BLOODWORTH is
IN APPEALS COURT RACE

FORSYTH, Ca, Aug. 2S.-Following
a very strong endorsement by the
Forsyth bar, O. H. B. Bloodworth def.
iritely announced yesterday afternoon
that he will be in the race for one of
the judgeships of the Court of Appeals.
There was some talk of Judge E. J.
Reagan making the race and, had he
decided to run, Mr. Bloodworth would
in no event have been candidate as
he is very close personal friend of
the judge, having served several years
as Solicitor General while Judge Rea-
gan was on the bench.
On account of the superior court of
Monroe county, which will convene
next week for a two weeks session,
Mr.. Bloodworth will not be able to
make personal canvass but will look
to his many friends throughout the
state to take care of his interests.
A clever and courteous gentleman,
of fine character; a lawyer of ability
and experience, with warm personal
friends all over the state it goes with
out saying that Mr.. Bloodworth will
make splendid race.

her. John j. Wicker. Jr.. was counsel
for the child.

day in the Circuit Court, as follows:

ago that he had secured frem the gov
eminent u promise of fifty elk to be
placed in the Allegheny and B1us

cally each county In the state has
written to the department and claimed
that it is the ideal place for the anil
mails. They all have ridge OF noun
tains exactly suited to the require
game commissioner to have them sent
as soon as possible.
One county. however. spurns the
fact that the characteristics OF the elk
make it necessary for them to be
placed In mountainous country. and
has emphasized to the department. and
argued IL q masterful way that the
Dismal Swamp IL particularly fitted to
the needs Of the elk. There where the
ground Is soft. the lay of the land
level. they would have no cause to
waste energy In cavorting from peak
to peak, and suffer, the discomfort Of
hard mother earth. It would be just
the place, this Dismal Swamp. for the
elk to thrive and increase. and fur
nish excellent hunting in the future.
