Since the Sunday lid was screwed
down tight in Fitzgerald by the Der

of nothing to do and nowhere to

charged to those using the room and
all expense of keeping it up will be
born by the Methodist Baraca class

young men here in the past, none
have been placed in SO convenient a
location or equipped as fully as this
one will be-.

The judge commended the activi-

that the laws of Georgia had consti-
tuted grand juries as "law enforce
ment leagues" with all the power of

georgia on wheels" declared the
judge. cit is the law Of Georgia

Jail for contempt of court anyone who
refused to answer freely the questions
of the grand jurors in investigating
cases. He declared his belief that all
pistol toters, moonshiners and boot
leggers should be sent to the chain,
gang. s. - 5ssssrSzssssss
The grand jury was especially in
structed to investigate the recent jail
delivery from the county janl in
which eleven negro prisoners made
their escape. Judge Cover also sug-
gsted that they consider the question
of continuing in session instead of ad-
journing when their work is finished.

chlhese notified j. p. Morgan & Co not
1020?-G. 7. 'Np' - ~
Answer.-There appears to be some
Misunderstanding regarding the Chi
nese per cent bonds. The facts , ave
as follows: The coupons on all of
these bonds, whether they were Ger
man stamped or not, which were pre-
sented for payment during the period
emma was in the war-August, 1917,
to March, 1919-were paid. German
stamped bonds could readily have
found their way up to that time into
the hands of British, French or Amer
lcan investors. 1t is presumed that
bonds Of German investors during the
war period could not have been dis
posed of outside of Germany. Conse-
quently any German stamped num-
bers which were not presented during
the period from August, 1917, to March,
1919, are not now payable. You should
present your bonds for payment. 1t
may be that they will be paid, anyhow.
We are informed by J. ?. Morgan e.
60. that they are taking the matter
up with the Chinese government, N
the hope that all numbers will soon
be paid.

Firm Tone of Last Several
Days Absent and Indus
trial Issues Decline:
Little Demand for Oils

tone of weakness was felt in curb
market trading yesterday ind several
OF the leaders of the last few days
were depressed. North American Puip
and Paper was slightly weaker and
sold off from its high mark of 77s to

buying.
Lack of demand was felt throughout
the list and, although recessions when
they occurred were small, stocks were
in many cases lower. The firm tone
which has been felt among industrial
issues this week was absent, although
General Asphalt showed strength and
advanced fractionally. Others in the
list sold at declines, however, and
still others were barely steady. Sub
marine Boat and Aetna Explosives
were off fractionally. Wright Martin
was steady, with only a small turn-
over.
Among the petroleum issues there
was little of Importance, this class Of
stocks being in slight demand. In

leum held steady around the prices
established by Wednesdays last sale,
the former at 35 and the latter u

Uncertainty Makes Yield High

Qucstion-FIow is 1T that Colorado Fuel
and Iron is selling low in comparison
to other stocks in the same business, as
the stock pays per cent? Is $50 par for
the stock -. Is. H.
Answer-Colorado Fuel and Iron di-
rectors declared the regular dividend at
the rate Of 3 per cent per annum on
the common stock payable last May, in
spite Of the fact that current earnings
do not show much improvemnt over
last year. During 1919 there was q
deficit of S1,764639 after payment Of
dividends, thus reducing the company's
surplus from S8.708.7S2 on December
81, 1918, to $685. IT'S on December 81,
1919. The uncertainty regarding the
dividend Is the probable reason for
the stock selling on an approximate 10
per cent basis The par value is $lO0
a share

French Bonds

Question-What is your opinion Of the
French 5 per cent loan OF 1920 and the
French Victory per cent loan? Are
these bonds good long term invest
nent where there Is no immediate neccs-
sty FOR tho interest? Do you think
French exchange VIII 60 back to normal
in five years IN. s.
Answer-We believe in the ability of
France to come through this economic
crisis without resort to reputation or
a scaling down OF her debt For that
reason tho French loans are, in our
opinion, very fair investments. While
we do not pretend to forecast the price
Of French exchange it appears prob
able that the tendency will be for it
TO work back to Il more normal rate
The coupons on French bonds may be
held not longer than five years, await
ing rise in the price of exchange.
