Under the contract the Dixie com

In pursuance of this contract the
state built the high power transmits

Recently Auditor Rirle made pro

void because II violated the constitu-
ton. The attorney general says that
II Is unfortunate that the obligation of

TINT the state Is legally and morally
bound to pay the balance due on the

only by the Dixie Power company.
| The state built the line pretending

now that the line Is finished the pro-

would produce annually enough to sup

HOW TO BEAT HIGH PRICE
 SUGAR.

Sugar is selling around 28 cents q pound. Whenever sugar sells for less than ten pounds for dollar It is ex- traordinariiy high.
 Sugar IS not gong to be much cheaper during the summer. The government may ration sugar.
 We have in our hands partial remedy for the high price of sugar. An acre of sorghum will furnish enough sweetcning for any ordinary family with some to spare, and sor- ghum can be grown successfully from the Ohio River to the Gulf ot Mexico.
 About now is the time to plant sor- ehum. Every planter should grow enough to guarantee his tenants sweetening matter at low cost dur in the greater part of the fall and next year. Every small farmer should do the same.
 As a commercial crop, sorghum will be high this fall. If any man
 
 grows surplus he can find ready sale for it. The cotton products people were in the market for sor- enum two or three years ago, but the market was not stabilized and their experience was not always happy. Some of the sorghum growers sold their product at an agreed price and then when there was an advance sold to some one else.
 The southern people could make it so that the high price of potatoes and the high price of sugar, the high price of beans and even corn and meat would concern them very lit- tie, but unfortunately they are judg- ing the value of the corn crop by the figures on the board. They do not realize that there are millions of bales of cotton in the south not sold. They are getting ready to plant a big crop because here and there some man has sold bale of cotton for $1 a pound. They forget that for every bale that is sold at $1 pound there are 100 bales sold at 25 cents 9 pound.-Commercial Appeal.
