INSURANCE FINES
IN MISSISSIPPI
UPHELD BY COURT

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 10. - The
Mississippi supreme court this morn
ing affirmed the decision of Chan
cellor ". J. Stricken in the Kinds
county chancellor court imposing
fines and penalties amounting to 49,
055,O75 on the fire insurance COM
panies, formerly operating in the
state, charged with violating the
antitrust law by conspiring to con-
troll rates.
The affirmation carries with it the
full penalties imposed by lower
court. About 100 insurance compa-
MES are involved, the heaviest pen
atty against any company being
S195,875. State Revenue Agent
Stokes V. Robertson filed the suit
nearly a year ago.
The decision of the court, al
though it clearly affirms Chancellor
| Strickler's findings both on the evil
dence and the numerous legal points
| involved, comes from an evenlydi
vided bench.
There are six members of the SUI
preme court, and it is the rule CT the
tribunal that when it's members are
equally divided, the decision must af-
firm the lower court.
The members could not agree on
all the law points involved, being
split in several important phases,
and four opinions were read.
Justices Cook, Ethertdge and
Holden were OF the opinion that the
evidence was sufficient to support
the finding of the lower court, and
that all of the companies, with but
five exceptions, are guilty of hav-
ing entered into a trust and combin"
to fix rates as alleged in the bill Of
complaint.
The companies against whom the
supreme court dismissed charges
were: The Columbia National Fire
Insurance company, Continental In
surance company, Union Insurance
society Of Canton, st. Paul Marine
Fire and Insurance company and
the Fidelity Phenix Insurance COM
pany.
Justices Anderson, Sykes and
Smith, the latter being chief =. jus
tice, were of the opinion that the
evidence was insufficient to support
the finding of the lower court, and
held that none of the appellant com.
| pdLleS were SullIy OIL entering INTO
4 trust or combine. They hold that
the bill Of complaint should be dis
missed as to all the companies.
There is now in hands of receiv
ers nearly a million dollars in funds
seized from agents under writs OF
garnishment issued in favor of the
state revenue agent.
Attorneys for the insurance com.
panies point out that these impound
ed funds furnish everything on
which the state revenue gent can
possibly hope to collect his judg-
ment, since all the companies have
quit business in the state, no longer
have agents here, and no legal
process can reach them outside the
state. Because of the institution of
this suit every Cld-line fire insurance
company Withdrew from the state.
Hundreds of insurance men were
thrown out OF employment and the
governor was strongly importuned
to call a special session of the leg
islature to enact laws that would
put such litigation at rest

Ex-senator FELTON,
Regains Her Health

Mrs. Rebecca Latimer FELTON,, of
Gainesville, Ca, appointed to sue
coed the late Senator Thomas E.
Watson as United States senator
from Georgia, returned home Satur-
day after having spent two weeks in
an Atlanta sanatorium recuperating
from the effects of the severe physi-
cal and mental strain resulting from
the attentions shown her after her
senatorial appointment.
Mrs. FELTON,, although 81 years Old,
attended dozens of public functions
given in her honor, posed for in
Vulnerable photographs sought by
newspapers, magazines and motion
picture concerns, and made several
addresses. The consequence was
that her physical strength failed
temporarily and she was obliged to
take the rest cure at an Atlanta hos
pital.

Millen Man Makes
Unusual Hog Record

MOULTRIE, Ga, Nov. 13.-Every
one of the fiftyeight head of hogs
making up a car shipped to Moul-
trie by G. G. Crimson, of Millen, Ca,
tested hard, the best record made by
any car since the packing house was
opened here eight years ago. The
hogs were Hampshires, ten months
old, and their average weight was
$50 pounds. They sold for ten cents
pound, the Chicago market the
day of their arrival at the stock
yards.
In this connection, it was stated
that the packing house here stands
ready to pay the Chicago market for
all standard hard hogs received The
Crimson hogs equalled in quality the
standard western hard hogs, the post
morten examination of the chilled
carcasses revealed.

MILLION BALES HELD OFF
MARKET BY CO-OPERATIVES
AVERTED BIG PRICE SLUMPS
Continued from Page II

have run up cotton to $3.50
cents. But it is the co-opera-
tives that are getting it. The
Independents got 10 or Fl or
maybe %.
All this has happened with
only little over a million bales
pooled. The Georgia associa-
ton will not handle more than
$4,000 bales this year. The rea
son is that the membership
strength of the Georgia associa-
ton lies heavily in the belt that
was swept by the boil weevil
and retarded by a wet spring
and has produced only one
fourth of a crop.
Look Out for Next Year
But the cooperative idea is
spreading like wildfire. The
Georgia association is going to
start a drive for more mem
bers in January. 1t ought to
have $4,000 members by July 1,
and handle one-third of Geor'
gia's crop next fall.
Then, l tell you, you will see
what cooperation really means.
It cannot defeat the memorable
consequences of the reaction Of
demand to supply, but you may
wager your Mexican dollar that
it will get a FAIR price for
every member.
1t is pity that every farm
er, every merchant, every bank.
er in Georgia cannot give the
few hours of time necessary to
an understanding of the prin.
ciples of cooperative market
ing, so plainly formulated by
Aaron Sapiro. If they could, if
they would, the resultant bene-
fit would penetrate the very
warp and wool of our economic
fabric. Our farmers would be
free American citizens, not the
slaves of a lack of marketing
syst I. They would be pros
porous, and when the farmers
are prosperous, everybody else
is prosperous.
Let us study it, and then
spread the gospel.

A Profound Influence
So looking at the facts and
figures, and applying to them
q modicun2 of commonsenSe you
may figure for yourself what a
profound influence the co-opera-
tive selling of so little as one
million bales this year has had
on the market.
1t has been truly great!
But, the organized cotton pro-
ducers of Georgia, North Caro-
lin, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas,
Oklahoma and Arizona,-banded
together in a common cause as
the American Cotton Growers
Exchange-didn't sell any cot
ton when the rest of the farm
ers were selling theirs for IS or
20 or % cents. They were busy
arranging their pools. which
means they were assembling
their cotton in warehouses and
grouping it into lots Of uniform

They were advancing to their
members IL cents a pound on
every pound turned in, from
money borrowed at reasonable
rates of interest, and were
GETTING READY to sell.
And since the dumping had
ceased and the same old world
famine was making the mills
hungrier than ever, cotton be-
gan to rise. On September 30,
we have seen, middling here was
worth 20.45 cents. Fifteen days
later the same cotton was
worth $3.50 cents. Sixteen days
later it was worth 24.4O cents.
Thursday it was worth $3.50
cents.
The cO-Operatives now are
about ready really to sell, with
the markets almost bare of cot
ton. And they are going to get
the gravy.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Sentiment in wheat
was still bearish today despite the strength
shown in foreign markets. The action OF
the market was cratic, but the bulk of the
support came from spreaders VINO sold in
Winnipeg and bought against the sales in
the local pit. There a little timidity
expressed by the bears and they did not care
to make sales except on bulges. The out
standing feature was the hedging pressure,
sales by cash houses being larger than of
late. This reflected the increased movement
in the west and southwest as the result Of
a betterment in the car supply. There was
a heavy fall Of snow over the western wheat
belt and, with the exception Of the south
western corner of Kansas, the drought has
been effectively broken and soil condition is
generally favorable. little Manitoba
wheat was reported for export, but sea-
board exporter expressed the opinion the
foreigners had purchased their requirements
until next January and that they would look
to Argentine for further supplies. However,
Winnipeg reported exporters urgent buyers
of cash wheat in nearby positions. Cash
premiums in the local market were UNI
changed. Minneapolis reported choice wheat
unchanged and low grades to cents lower.
Wheat closed strong on covering by local
shorts. Closing prices were Ac to sc
higher. December. $1.163s; May, $1.15A
@1.15$; July, 81 .03@1. O3a.
Corn exhibited an over-bought condition
and the market encountered heavy going.
The locals became too daring on the short
side, and their efforts to cover after some
of the local bulls had taken the surplus
offerings out Of the pit resulted in rallies.
Some of the larger locals were taking
profits on long corn every bulge. Re-
ceipts did not come up to expectations, but
the supply was larger than requirements,
premiums being unchanged to nc lower.
Seaboard reported export business at
standstil1, and domestic shipping also was
light. Sales Of 5000 bushels Of contract
corn were reported to go to store.
Corn closed unchanged to 5sc higher. De-
cember, 6s& @6S4c; May, 69% @69Ac;
July, 6S&c.
Oats followed corn, and that ts the best
that can be said about that market. Ship
ping demand was moderate.
Oats closed unchanged to &c higher. De-
cember, 42@c; May, 42B @42Ac; July,
1850.
Strength in cottonseed oil had an inspiring
effect on lard bulls, and the market scored
moderate gains. A little selling was noted
early by packers on the big hog run.
Lard closed &c to TIC higher and ribs
unchanged.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 13-The trend OF
prices was moderately lower in the early
trading in cotton today under the effect OF
poor cables, the continued unsettled foreign
political situation and steady stream OF
liquidation from the long side. In the first
half hour of the session prices lost % to AZ
points, December sinking to 25.23c pound.
) At the lowest Of the morning prices were
20 to IS points down, with December at
% 19c. Soon after the middle Of the morn
ing an important, buying movement devel-
oped, fostered by rumors of small ginning
returns from private sources and by expec-
tations Of favorable American mill con-
sumption figures tomorrow. Prices rose
\ strongly until December traded at 25elc
and the list stood at net gains Of 10 to 80
points. At noon the market was less active
and showed slight recessions, December
standing at 25.65c.
Realizing by longs resulted in small set
backs in the afternoon. The distant months
were under less pressure than the near
which narrowed discounts between months.
At 80 o'clock prices were to 10 points

w. E. Taylor Suggests Curb Mar
ket For Sale OF Truck In
City

"The grocers of Americus have
fallen right in line with the move
ment of the Woman's club of Ameri-
Gus to promote the use of home grown
products by the housewives of Amer
icus and Sumter county," said Miss
Carrie Speer, chairman of the spe-
cial committee having in hand the
movement, today.
81 have talked with a number of
the grocers and they heartily endorse
the proposal. Arthur Mize says it
is a splendid plan and he will coop
crate. Albert Harris says that he can
not make a speech at the conference
next Friday, but that he is highly in
favor of the plan. Bob Edwards is
with US on it, and there are others,
too. expect to interview still more
grocers on the subject.
81 called at several of the stores
yesterday and found mostly home
grown vegetables on sale, which was
most pleasing.
"W, E. Taylor has suggested the
establishment of a curb market here
such as they have in Atlanta AM
many smaller cities. I think it woult
be a fine thing, as it would give the
truck growers regular place at reg.
ular hours to bring in the products
and the housewives regular place
to go to buy stuff they would know
would be fresh from the farms. And
it would be keeping all of our money
at home. | think it would be well
to discuss this feature"
Every housewife in Sumter county
is invited and urged to attend the
conference at the library auditorium
Friday at 2:30 y. M, and all grocera
and truck growers are also urged to
be present for the exchange Of ideas
and in, the expectation that some
definite arrangements may be en-
tered into for a better supply of
home grown vegetables.
