SHORT YIELD SENDS
SYRUP PRICES UP
80 CENTS A GALLON NOW BE-
ING PAID FOR THE SOUTH
GEORGIA PRODUCT.

CAIRO, Ga.-A short yield has
again sent the price OF pure Georgia
cane syrup above 80 cents gallon,
and large number of farmers in this
section are feeling the effects OF this
high price. Upwards of 1,500 barrels
were marketed here today, including
deliveries to the Cane Growers Co
Operative Association, and the day
was the busiest of the season, thus far.
The price went above 80 cents last
Saturday for the first time this season,
and as much as IS cents has been paid
for some This was the high level for
the 1923 season, but with this excep-
ton it is the highest price paid here
since 1919, when it brought 81 gal
lon for a short time.
The .hfteen-year average prior to
the war was rs cents gallon, but the
price mounted steadily for two or
three years prior to the high price
peak iu 1919, when the break came.
Following the break the price went
to Is cents a gallon.

DEMOCRATS UGED BY
RALSTON TO BUCK UP
SAYS THE PARTY WILL LIVE
IN SPITE OF MANY OF ITS
SO-CALLED LEADERS.

CHICAGO-United States Sena-
tor Samuel NJ. Ralstcn of Indiana
who withdrew his name from the dem
ocratic national convention in New
York last July at time when he APP
peared far in the lead for the presi-
dental nomination, in public state
ment here today called upon demo
Gratis to pull themselves together,
marshal their forces" and carry on.
Senator Ralston came to the city
TO speak before the annual banquet OF
the Indiana Society OF Chicago.
He called for new leadership in the
ranks of democracy.
''As to the future OF the democratic
party" he said, Il have no doubt. 1t
will live. 1t will live, not because OF
many Of the present so-called leaders,
but in spite of them If they were all
to meet and unitedly resolve that the
party of Jefferson, of Jackson, OF
Cleveland and OF Wilson should cease
to be their resolution would add
strength and hope to that party
81 can see that the democratic party
can be crippled from within, but il
cannot be killed, even from within.
"When the rule OF democracy fails
in this country chaos in the affairs OF
government will, in my judgment,
soon prevail everywhere, and it is my
sincere belief that the life giving force
of American democracy has its source
in the basic principles OF the demo-
cratic party, and while they may be
blurred for time they cannot be ex-
tinguished and our government re-
main virile.
1T is therefore the patriotic duty
of democrats the country over to pull
themselves together and marshal their
forces"

car and all other vehicles, according
to statistics announced by the u. S.
Department of Commerce. 1t is an
nounced that in 1923 practically one
fifth of all fatalities from accidents
were the result of automobile COLI
sions, and approximately twice as
many deaths from automobile acct
dents occurred in cities as i'll rural
districts.
Out of the total of 1883 fatalities
which occurred in Georgia during the
year 1923 5S3 occurred in the rural
districts, showing an increase in the
case of Georgia in the rural districts
rather than in the cities.

NEW YORKS DOORS
SHUT TO LIVE FOWLS
CHICKEN PLAGUE" RESULTS
IN SOLID EMBARGO. FOWLS
SHIPPED BACK.

NEW YORK, N. Year of the
Chicken plague" prevalent in certain
mid-western states has so inundated
the housewives of New York that all
railroads serving this city today set up
a solid embargo against shipments OF
live turkeys, chickens, ducks and
geese
The railroads acted after a host OF
inspectors representing federal, state
and civic agencies of health had re-
jccted many cars of poultry which ar
rived yesterday. Commission mer-
chants and carriers tonight took steps
to have express companies establish
an embargo on fowl as rigid as that
declared today by the railroads.
No Live Fowls on Market.
There will be no live fowl of any
kind on the market in New York city
for the holidays" said heads of the
Live Poultry Merchants Association.
There is no prospect that the fears OF
housewives can be allayed, and order
restored in time for the Christmas and
New Years trade"
Twenty-Five carloads of chickens
approximately 100000 pounds or near
ly 100000 fowl-were shipped west
ward today, because they had failed
to pass inspection at New Jersey ter
minals or because demurrage, shrink
age, cost of feeding and the democrat
ized state OF the market promised a
total loss to the receiver who under
took to dispose Of them in New York.
During the three week holiday be-
ginning Dec Is last year New York
city absorbed $40 carloads of live
chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese
3,500000 fowl or about 100000
pounds.
Hundreds of Million Pounds.
At the same time the city absorbed
21.0O0000 pounds of dressed poultry
and an unrecorded number OF millions
OF pounds OF cold storage fowl
Commission men believed today that
unless the wave OF apprehension,
which already has paralyzed the large
Jewish and the smaller Italian market
can be stemmed, this holiday trade in
1924 will be reduced to virtually moth
ing.

BANKERS TO GATHER
TO DISCUSS TAXES
INCOME TAX INSTITUTE WILL
BE HELD IN ATLANTA. A
LARGE NUMBER TO GO.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Recognizing the
difficulties that confront bankers in
the computation of their own taxes,
and in many cases the taxes of their
depositors, the Georgia Bankers As
ISOLATION has arranged to hold, under
the auspices of the Georgia Society of
Certified Public Accountants, an In
come Tax Institute on Wednesday,
January 7, 1925.
The meeting will be called to order
at 10 o'clock a. m. in the Chamber
of Commerce building, and will con-
tinue through the morning and at
ternoon. No entertainment is planned
except a simple luncheon in the same
building, at which the questions of in
come tax computations will remain
under discussion.
At the beginning of the morning
session the income tax law will be
elucidated by a committee from the
Georgia Society of Public Account
ants on which the following will
serve Joel Hunter, Allen w. Clapp
and Thomas w. Branch, three we'll
known certified public accountants.
Many Bankers Will Attend.
This institute has been arranged
especially for members of the Georgia
Bankers Association and it is expect
ed that a large number of member
banks will send representatives. All
bankers in attendance will be privil-
eyed to ask any questions upon which
they desire further information. Should
such questions involve research on the
part of the leaders written answers
will be given as soon as needful rec
ords can be consulted.
The computation OF income taxes,
both for themselves and as a service
for their customers, has long been
perplexing problem for Georgia bank
ers. The exchange OF information on
the floor OF the institute will be more
useful, it is believed, than any private
study of the law could be, since it
will inform each delegate not alone
on the points or questions that occur
to him personally, but also upon all
points that occur to every individual
III the enure gathering anu tIldt dle
thus brought out for discussion.
1t is hoped by officers OF the Geor
gia Bankers Association that this in
stitute will be one of the most bene-
fetal occasions sponsored by that
body. ]. S. Kennedy, vice president
of the Atlanta and Lowry bank, is
president OF the Georgia Bankers AS
sociation and HAYNES McFadden is
secretary.
