doubtedly more philosophical about
their view Of crime than we. They
divide the guilt around in complex
ways. All Foon, reputed to be the
wealthiest man in New Yorks China
town goes clothed in much splendor Of
rich raiment and precious jewels. The
other night holdup man coldn't resist
that splendor and All Foon was hit
over the head and robbed. The guilty
man was caught and convicted; but
his defense was that All Foon was to
blame for displaying his wealth so
lavishly as to arouse cupidity!

Tobacco Market Is
Feeling Depression

The Lon Dickey Tobacco Ware
house opened up again this morning
under much the same conditions that
caused it to cloA Tuesday. No de-
iand was expressed for the tobacco
offered for sale although much of it
was of the highest grade. The prices
ranged from a half cent to twenty
cents a pound and most of the top
prices were offered by the ware
house in order to keep the product
from going for practically nothing.
Only about 1000 pountV were Of
fered for sale and less than five hun
dred pounds were sold at the prices
offered.
According to telephone reports
reaching here today from other
warehouses in Georgia similar condi,
tons prevail everywhere. There is NO
demand for tobacco in the Carolina
fields and prices are extremely low
No explanation for the condition is
offered as the tobacco and cigarette
factories are still running.

TALKING ABOUT STATE BUYING THE

A., B. & A.--Considerable discussion is being
heard concerning possibility that the State of
Georgia might buy the A, B. & A. railroad and
link it up with its present railroad property, the
Western and Atlantic. The Leader does not
think seriously that there is any possibility of
such thing occurring, but the discussion is in
teresting.
The territory served by the railroad is wealthy
enough to make it paying proposition if it had
proper outside connections. If bought by the
state which as we said before we do not ser-
ously anticipate, and leased to the Louisville and
Nashville with the Western and Atlantic, an i'm
mense volume of traffic could be diverted toward
Brunswick that now finds other outlets to the
Fitzgerald would be a much more important
railroad town than it is now. Regardless of
whether the statepurchase talk is anything more
than idle conversation, it is interesting
