States May Purchase
Savannah River Ferry

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3.-South
Carolina and Georgia state highway
officials are discussing plans for the
possible purchase and operation OF
Furey's ferry over ne Savannah
river connecting Mccormick county
with Georgia, it is announced at the
the offices of the state highway de
partment here.
Charles III. Moorefield, South Caro-
lima state highway engineer, said he
had taken up with the Mccormick
county authorities the matter of
their aiding in the purchase Of the
ferry, because, as long as it is on
it's present toll basis. the federal
government refuses to aid Georgia
in building a hard surfaced road
from Augusta to the. river, where
the ferry crosses, and, therefore, the
ferry must be purchased by the
states to insure federal road aid.
The state of South Carolina cannot
at this time afford to purchase the
half interest in the ferry, and is
looking to citizens of Mccormick
county to cooperate with Georgia,
according to the announcement
from the highway department.

3 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Orderly
marketing of the sugar crop will be
the main factor of sugar distribution
this year, according to sugar men of
the south and west today.
Those in close touch with the sit
uation express decided satisfaction
over the outlook, which they say
promises excellent profits without
runaway market.
Producers in nearly every section
where sugar is produced are suffi-
GENTLY well financed to hold their
products for advantageous prices.
World demand undoubtedly Is in.
creasing according to recent advices
from France, Germany and England.
The German beet sugar crop was
small this season. The French pro-
ductioh was even more satisfactory
and recent developments in the ex.
port situation indicate that Germany
and France have not lost their buy
ing power for necessities in spite OF
their financial difficulties.
The Cuban carry over has been
completely eliminated as a market
factor. The Cuban crop is an ex
cellent one but sugar men in the
south of this country and here are
firm in the belief that the Cuban
planters will not sacrifice their crop
at low prices this year, but are in
sufficiently good financial situation
to hold for opportune marketing.
Louisiana Sales
The Louisiana planters, according
to dispatches from New Orleans to.
day, already have taken their profit
on their crop. Many sold at the
top of the market and some spread
their sales over considerable periods
by disposing of future options ship
ping as the periods for future de-
livery roll around.

Maternity Death Rate
Growing as Infant
Mortality Decreases

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Infant
mortality has decreased, but the ma
ternity death rate has increased, &C.
cording to the annual report of Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the children's
bureau of the department of labor,
which was made public today.
Maternity deaths, she said, were
more numerous per unit of popula.
ton in the United States birth reg
istration area in 1920 than in any
foreign country for which figures
were available, and despite the de-
cline of infant mortality, five other
countries reported lower rates.
Forty-two states, Miss Abbott report
ed, have accepted the terms of the
maternity and infancy act.
To each state accepting the terms
of the act, Miss Abbott explained,
$4,000 year is granted outright and
an additional $4,000, plus an amount
determined on the basis of popula-
ton, is granted if matched by the
states own appropriation.

Richmond Police Will

By Mrs. Richardson

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 3.-Jewel-
~ worn by Mrs. TheIma Ham Rich

held by the local police until the
case against Thomas Pollard, real
estate dealer, charged with killing
her, is finally disposed of in the
criminal courts.
Such was the information which
the police impaired Monday to Viii

he asked that it be turned over to

diamond rings, lavaliere, wrist

Mr. Ham said that one of the

in December, 1917. He did not
know where she got the other
pieces, he said.

MARKETING OF SUGAR CROP
TO BRING GOOD PROFITS

yet disposed Of their crop have Sc
cured ample funds from the War FL
nance corporation to allow them to
hold it until prices are better.
The sugar beet growers and fac
tories of the inter-mountain states
are in an equally advantageous posi-
ton. Their crop was a satisfactory
one in many respects and sugar
prices have made a remarkable recov-
cry in the, last year.
They also are in position to mar
ket advantageously. AS they do so,
farmers who have operated on slid
ing scale with the factories, as many
have done, will gradually receive ad-
ditional sums to those paid them
per ton for the beets at the time of
delivery to the factories.
Prices, it is believed may be slight
ly lower during the first part of 1928.
because at that time grinding is go
ing on in Cuba and more sugar is be
ing produced than consumed, which
always has depressing tendency
After that time, however, the price
trend appears pointing Enthusiastically
upward.
Sugar refineries have broken al
records in the volume of meetings
this year by several thousand tons.
The situation of the Michigan beet
growers and refiners is not so salts
factory as that of the intermountain
west since the Michigan crop fell of
sharply and the cost of production
was high.
Holders of crude oil are counting
on heavy profits in 1923. The de
mand for gasoline gives every indi
cation of attaining record proper
lions and price advances have fol
lowed one another quickly in vari
Gus fields in the last 10 days. The
latest advance in Pennsylvania crude
is counted on to stimulate field opera
tons and new drilling. Premiums OF
10 to 80 cents barrel were paid be
fore the 25 per cent advance and in
dependent refiners are expected ia
keep these premiums.
