members are avowed anarchists. So far as could be learned, however, there was no general roundup of the mem bers today. It was intimated that the raids here were the result of informa. tion indicating a carefully framed ter- rorist plot about to be carried into ef- feet.
 PRISONERS SILENT
 The prisoners were questioned for several hours at police headquarters, but for the most part maintained a sul- len silence. The police declined to 1i- vulge what information, if any had been obtained from them. While they have not definitely determined the purpose of the machine seized in the raid, the members of the bomb squad believe it was to be used in the manu- facture of bombs.
 On the wall of the clubroom of the I. w. w, in a building on Lexing ton avenue, one of those raided, was pie ture of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the Spar tacan leader recently assassinated. The police recalled that there was a bomb explosion four years ago in a building four blocks from this house. in which anarchists of the Ferrer school had their headquarters.

Corn and Corn Meal

Why is corn selling for dollar
and quarter per bushel and meal
nearly double that amount, said a
prominent gentleman yesterday. The
answer is in the corn in the west,
green corn here and a few other
things that we haven't time to fiugre
ut.-Thomasville Times-Enterprise.
If the Enterprise had made a
little inquiry it would have found
the trouble. The South Georgia
mills are grinding nice new white
corn. Around Moultrie they are
grinding it exclusively. If man
in Thomasville wants cheap meal he
can buy a bushel of corn at $1.25,
shuck it and shell it and carry it to
mill. The miller will take out toll,
but he will give back the same amount
of meal that is bought at the stores
for bushel, and for which the stores
charge $3.50. (This last quotation
is taken from a leading Moultrie store
today.) That is all there is to it. The
world is demanding Service" and
has become so lazy that we pay a
bushel to have corn shelled and cor
ried to mill for us.-Moultrie OBJ
