vance today. setting the pace for the
more volatile specialties and estab-
fishing record high prices on gains OF
to 4 points.

all time at 208B, in response to re-
ports that plans were being worked
out for the long awaited recapitaliza-
ton Of the company. Under the pres
sure of realizing sales, the stock
eased off at the close to 207A, a net
gain of points for the day.

cialties. Among the score of new
high records marked up in the two

dividend continued unabated to the
end of the week, pushing the stock

Most of the other rails were neg

ued to attract buying orders. Both

DRY LAW VIOLAT0RS
ARE JAILED BY JUDGE;
CORNER ALBANY CHIEF OF
POLICE, AND CALHOUN AND
RAKER MEN SENTENCED.

ALBANY, Ga.-Judge William H,
Jarrett dealt out jail sentences in
several prohibition cases in which
there were pleas of guilty or convic-
lions in the United States court dur
mo the recent session here.
". T. Lockett, former chief of po-
lice at Albany, was given three months
in the Dougherty county Jail Pleas
we're made in his behalf for leniency,
Init Judge Barrett was not moved to
the point of permitting only fine. 1t
was shown in his behalf that he had
gone straight" since .he was arrested
nearly year ago, and that he had not
been connected in any way with the
liouor traffic and that he has been in
dustriously engaged in lawful pursuits.
Charley Muse, of Albany, was SEN
fenced to serve months in the county
iail or federal penitentiary, which
ever he and his family might elect.
The only plea made in his behalf was
that he had wrecked his health by
heavy drinking, even to the point of
affecting his mind. Judge Barrett stat
ed that he felt that prison sentence
would be a kindness in such case,
as it would put Muse where he could
be given medical attention.
Calhoun Mans Good Luck.
A verdict of not guilty was directed
in the case of A. L. Adams. of Cal
houn county, when the attorney APP
pointed to defend him made motion
to suppress the evidence of r. l., Hud-
SON prohibition agent, who admitted
that the raiding officers visited Adams
home without a search warrant.
]. R. Shealey and his son-in-law,
Allen Stewart, of Baker county, were
convicted. SheaIey was given SEN
tcnce of six months in prison and
Stewart a fine of $1,000. The latter
will serve a prison sentence if he can't
pay the fine.
A mistrial resulted in the case
against Ben Sanders, of Baker county,
and Charley Bridges and ]. H. Cot
ton of the same county were found not
guilty. Stubs Cason, a Baker county
negro, was found guilty.
Charley Burke, a well-known Al
bany negro, was sentenced to serve
five months in the county Jail.
Several other negroes were sentenc-
ed on pleas of dry law violations.
