Prices Move Together.
Prophets OF defiation may well re-
call that prices are closely inter-

commodity or group of commodities
TO continue out OF line with all other
communities for a long period Of
time. Dehation must therefore be
gradual and fairly simultaneous, af-
fecting all that enters into cost OF
production. as well as Lroiit.

crop hold-over is receiving marked
attention as the new crop looms near.
Weather conditions and car supply
will determine future prices. Winter

HIGHWAY SQUABBLE
NEARS SHOW DOWN
GENERAL EXPECT
ED TO REFUSE TO SIGN
WARRANT FOR $4,000.

ATLANTA-The uncertain consti-
tutional and financial status of the
state highway department will be
brought to a head within the next
few days.
A warrant for approximately $780,
900 will be drawn, in fact already
has been drawn, on the state auto
mobile fund, upon requisition made
by the highway department.
Attorney General Denny has hand
ed down an opinion holding that the
appropriating feature of the motor
vehicle bill is null and void, is I'M
constitutional, because it was not
properly enacted by the general as
sembly. The governor has expressed
himself as being not at all worried by
the question raised by Mr. Denny.
He has further asserted that, so far
as the executive department is con-
cerned, the question cited will not
be allowed to stop the operations of
the department.
Secretary of State McLendon, who
raised the issue on which Mr.. Den
ny's opinion is based, is entirely in
support of Mr.. Denny's position.
The highway department made re-
QUESTION, under the contested law,
and warrant has been drawn for
about $4,000 There is no doubt at
all about that warrant being signed
by the governor, but that it will be
approved by the comptroller general
is doubtful. In fact, there is very
good ground for the belief that Gen
VH1,.o, I'LL oOtlnt0rcJOn the
warrant, which would mean the high
way board, if it gets the money at
this time, will have to mandamus the
comptroller general to obtain his sig
nature, an action which would throw
the case into court and determine
whether or not the court will adhere
to the opinion of the, supreme court.
If the highway board is prevented
from obtaining the money there is
practical certainty that its work will
have to be suspended. To date there
has been paid to that board a total
of $4,000 from the automobile
funds, under the motor vehicle law,
and that has been used in the general
road work program.
Wright Will Not Approve Warrants.
Controller General Wright indica-
ted clearly Thursday that he will not
approve the warrants. He states that
he is his own judge of what legal ad-
vice he shall follow in a question in
volving the constitutionality of law.
In view of Attorney General Denny's
ruling he cannot see his way clear to
approve warrants on the highway
fund. He has had the matter under
consideration several days and has
made up his mind.
A friendly suit to test the consti-
nationality of the law will be brought
at once by the state highway board
through its attorney, H. J. Quincy,
and an effort will be made to have
the question decided by the state su-
preme court before the next session
of the legislature. This procedure
has been mutually agreed upon by
Governor Dorsey, Chairman Strahan,
of the highway board, and Comp
troller General Wright.

BISHOP. GAMBLER breaches
ON THE PRODIGAL SON
The Eminent Divine Sees a Dark
Picture Ahead.

That capital and labor are getting
further apart, that financial interests
will very soon begin to close down
a bit, if not Squeeze" that panic
might be expected to follow if not
an open clash that may lead to
revolution, as a result-all because
men and women in the mad scram
BILE for money had gotten away from
their Father, like the prodigal son,
and were wasting their substance in
riotous living, were some of the con-
illusions of Bishop Warren A. Cand-
Ter, in an able sermon on 'The Prodi-
gal Son." delivered in Columbus.
The noted bishop declared he was
not an alarmist, that he didn't want
to picture the situation any darker
than it really was, but that when
capitalists spent their Sundays on
golf links and union forces at their
meeting halls, both were desecrating
the sabbath in a manner which was
bound to react on them. He said
the world was wasting its substance
in riotous living and that utter ruin
was inevitable unless all determine,
as did the prodigal son, to return
to God. The sermon made a deep
impression here.

THREE POISONOUS SNAKES
Are FOUND In GEORGIA
Contrary to General Opinion All
Others Are Harmless, and Some
of Them Useful.

Research at the capitol develops
the fact that there are but three
kinds of poisonous snakes in Geor-
gia, and that all the other varieties
are harmless. The three are the rat
tIesnake, copperhead and moccasin.
The copperheads are very few.
The rattlesnakes are by far the
most numerous of the poisonous rep
tiles. They range all the way from
the little button RATHER" who never
grows a rattle big enough to rattle
with, to the terrible diamond back,
whose real home is Florida, but which
occasionally gets over the border in
to Georgia.
The Georgia rattlesnake, however.
is never ruffian. He prefers to be
left alone, and his rattle is mot a
battlecry, but fair warning. If al
lowed half a chance he will leave the
field. He will run away provided
he can do so with dignity.
The moccasin, however, is ugly
and vicious, and will attack man or
beast on the slightest provocation.

How Safe Robbers Disposed of Stolen
Securities.
NEW YORK.-Unique methods of
of stolen securities by the
gang of safe robbers, said to have
been led by Richard Armstrong, con-
fessed millionaire burglar" of New
York's financial district, were de-
scribed by the police here yesterday.
These were said to include "swap-
ping" stolen securities for good
ones" through a chain of friendly
brokers, clerks and expert erasure
with a razor of numbers on purloined
certificates.
Extraordinary care used by mem
bers of the gang in travelling from
city to city to dispose of securities
also was described The band never
travelled by train, boat, trolley or hir-
ed car, but always in an automobile
owned by one of their number.
Only $35. 1000 worth of securities
have been recovered so far, the po-
lice said, adding that great difficulty
was being experienced in trailing
them. Armstrong pleaded guilty to
stealing.
