lore Notwithstanding to the contrary,
North Georgia horse trader has had
to make good the loss which his vic
tim claims to have sustained in a
trade recently. The action was taken
by the direction of the Fulton Superior
court who ordered amends made.
Ben Still. of Atlanta, was defendant
in suit brought by w. T. Brown, of
Smyrna, following trade. Brown
claimed that the nag to which he fell
heir in a trade showed speed only
when homeward bound at the sound
of the dinner horn and that he posi-
lively refused to plough having been
represented as a good plough animal.
The court bailiff was sent out to try
out the animal in a nearby field Sub
Browns statement about
the ploughing, the bailiff was directed
to see that Still made good" the trade
and the case was dismissed.

SUGAR PRICES.

There have been those who have been so bothered over the shortage of sugar that they have believed that the restrictions should be removed, that the price ought to be allowed to reach any old figure so long as those who were willing to pay for it could get it. but it doesn't require much de- nbera ton to understand what an in creased hardship this would place up- on those who f1iciently burdened with high prices ana paying twice or more than twice for sugar than they did not so many years ago.
 Sugar by the direction of the equaE zaticn board is selling for eleven cents a pound. It is within memory that it yet that does not justify the idea that all restrictions should be removed and the price allowed to go to 15 or 20 cents a pound And yet that is where we are told it is headed for unless the sugar equalization board is con- tinued until normal production and distribution return. Even the fact that the board has not been given author ity to contract for the next crop al ready threatens an increase just as soon as the present crop is exhausted and if all restriction is removed. prices will go skylarking in keeping with the demand.
 If there is an earnest desire to do soneth hing for the prevention of higher prices, if in fact present prices cannot be lowered. there appears to be q real opportunity in the continuing of the present federal sugar board
