Dublin House Offers $l.1O or 20
Per Cent Lower than Offer
Scorned Here
Sweet Potatoes Here Not Ex-
pected to Sell for Less than
$1.5O to $1.55

Dublin's boast of having the high
est sweet potato market in Georgia
was literally secuted by farmers here
today alter several newspapers OF
statewide circulation had carried a
story under Dublin date line that a
sweet potato house there was offering
$l.lO per hundred pounds, which was
claimed to be highest in the state.
Secretary c. T. Owens of the Ben
Hill Farm Bureau stated that two
orders for sweet potatoes in car load
lots at $l.35, twenty per cent higher
than the Dublin offer, had been re.
fused by Ben Hill farmers. The two
fitzgerald sweet potato warehouses
were TILED to capacity last fall with
graded sweet potatoes at $1.O3 pei
bushel and the Farm Bureau handled
number of cars of field run potatoes
at that price.
The price of sweet potatoes hello
over through the Winter" usually ad
vances at least fifty per cent from the
Fall price and, while few hundred
pounds have been sold here recently
Tor Sl.43, it is not expected that any
large quantity will be sold for less
than $l.5O or $155 per hundred
pounds.
The price of SLAB per hundred
pounds, which has been accepted by
some farmers here, is equivalent to
about eighty cents per bushel.

"Our investigation reveals new
cases every day." said Mr.. Shropshire.
Numbers of doctors have been sign
ing certificates and drawing their
fees out of the proceeds of the ben
ehts under the policies. The persons
taking illness, instead of being pa
tients, are clients of these doctors. In
1920 the majority of benefits paid out
were on absolutely fraudulent claims.
Knowing that the very law of aver
ages was violated in the percentage
of cases of illness, we began the in
