ATLANTA MERCHANT
OFFERS BIG REWARD
SIOOO For Conviction Of
Murderers and Dynamiters
—Says Honor of State Is
At Stake.
CONSCIENCE OF GEORGIA
APPEALED TO
‘All Classse Menaced By Riot
Of* Lawlessness,” Says At
lanta Constitution.
Atlanta. Ga.—A reward of SSOO for
the arrest and conviction of those
responsible for the murder of An
drew Jones, aged negro, which oc
curred near Sylvania, Screven Coun
ty, on December 30th, was offered
today by John A. Mangct, of this
city, well known cotton merchant,
and a like amount for the convic
tion of those who last week dyna
mited the home of Syrians in Mari-
etta and ordered the colony to leave
under the threat of death.
In making’public these offers, Mr.
Mangct deplored the frequency of
such lawless acts, which, he says,
have east the state into a “damn
able slough of dishonor,*’ and are
discrediting her citizenship in the
eyes of the world. He calls upon
all good people to do their utmost
to bring this state of affairs to an
end.
The Atlanta Constitution, com
menting editorially on these condi
tions, says that “newspapers through
out lhe country are pointing to
Georgia as the hot bed of mob vio
lence and homicide and of a reck
less regard for law and order.” It
calls upon the conscience of Georgia
to arouse itself and demand that a
stop be put to the “riot of lawless
ness and terrorism” on the part of
an irresponsible element, which it
says has become a menace to all
classes.
“We shrink from further federal
encroachment of our state rights,”
continues the Constitution, “hut if
the state cannot cope with the mob
situation and bring to justice ter
rorists who take innocent lives at
will and who drive peaceful resi
dents from their homes, then wc
may expect the federal government
to step in.**

UUSjK AGREES ON
ILL BUT 3 POINTS
Amnesty, Exemption Christ
ians From Military Service,
■ Establishment Homelands
For Armenians, Are Blocks.
ISMET TELLS OF A
DIFFERENT TURKEY
Will Not Admit Discussion of
National Homelands; Mot
to: “Indivisable, Harmon
ious Fatherland.”
Lausanne, Jan. 9—A distinctly bet
ter feeling characterized today’s
proceedings of the Near Bast con
ference. Full agreement has been
reached on all points except those
of the amnesty, the exemption of
Christians in Turkey from military
service and establishment of na
tional homelands for the Armenians
and Assyro-Chaldeans.
The expectation is that the first
two of these problems will be set
tled by private negotiations and in
corporated in ilie projected treaty
but the solution of the last named
problem appears hopeless for the
moment at least.
Ismet Dasha, chief of the delega
tion from Angora told the conference
today that Turkey could not admit
of any discussion touching on na
tional homes either for the Armen
ians or the Assyro-Chaldeans.
“We have a firm conviction” lie
said in bis usual calm and digni
fied manner, ‘that the measures wo
have taken in Turkey for the future
will heal all wounds and that every
body in Turkey will work together
in peace and tranquility. Our motto
is‘ ‘An indivisible and harmonious
fatherland.”
Marquis Curzon, British foreign
secretary, made an eloquent appeal
to the Turkish delegates to recoil
skier the question which he em
phasized had an enormous import
ance from the point of view of
world opinion. Both tlie Armenians
and the Assyro-Chaldeans, he said,
with deep earnestness, had suffered
greatly: their future was terribly
uncertain and they were entitled to
some adequate guarantees.
. .Sir Horace Rumbolri( British high
commissioner in Constantinople, had
suggested an autonomous home for
the Armenians in Cilcilia, and this
semed to Lord Curzon the best way
for Turkey to secure the satisfactory
co-operation of a hard?working and
intelligent people in the consruction
of anew Turkey.
Turkey, lie said, was obdurate
now, but he was confident that later
she would perceive the wisdom of
doing something among the lines
suggested.

LIMITATIONS ON BRITISH
DEBT TOO STRINGENT TO
PERMIT OF A SETTLEMENT
Harding Convinced Payment
Of Principal Within 2 5
Years With Interest At 4
1-2 Blocks Negotiations.
COMMISSION MAY ALTER
DEBT LIMITATIONS
Outcome of Meetings of Two
Commissions, If Successful,
May Serve As Precedent In
Settling Other Debts.
Washington, Jan. 9.—President
Harding is convinced, it was dis
closed today at the White House,
that there can be no settlement of
the eleven billions of dollars of war
debts to the I’nited States within the
limitations laid down by congress
payment of the principal within 25 J
>ears with interest at 1 1-4 per cent.
The executive’s views, in which
members of the American debt com-
mission concurred, were crystalized
by developments at the preliminary
negotiations with the British debt
commission looking to the refund
ing of the four billions of dollars
owed by Great Britain. The progress
of these negotiations was laid before
the president in detail yesterday by
Secretary Mellon and Senator Smoot.!
republican, Utah, members of the
American commission.
Whether congress will be asked to
liboraizc immediately the terms of
the cixsting statute or the American
commission proceed to make the
best arrangements possible with the
debtor nations subject to final con
gressional approval is yet to be de
termined. It was indicated at the
White House, however, that the lat
ter course was regarded as prefer
able.
Negotiations between the British
commission and the American body
are to be resumed tomorrow.
Mr. Harding considers that the
British and American delegations
may reach some sort of an agree
ment within a week and he feels
that when the American commission
lias decided that modifications are
absolutely necessary there will be a
test of what the country desires to
do and what its representatives in
congress will permit to be done.
May Make Precedent.
The president also was represented
j as feeling that if out of the present
! negotiations there came a plan which
would be approved by congress even
at the cost of relieving some of the
burdens on the debtor nations a
precedent would have been set which
would serve as a guide in the settle
ment among all the governments as
sociated with thfr United States in
the World War.
While President Harding’s views
were being made known at the White
House the debt situation was dis-
cussed in both the senate and house
with increasing indications that ef
forts would be made to amend the
debt refunding law in many impor
tant particulars. In the senate dis
cussion centered around the proposal
of Senator Harrison, democrat, Miss
issippi that the commission be en
larged so as to include democratic
representation hut in the house the
direct issue was the liberalizing of
terms of ttie settlement.
House debate on the debt was pre
cipitated by Representative Garner,
democrat, Texas, who read a press
report of an address delivered in
New York by Representative Fess.
republican. Ohio, to the effect that
more freedom would be given by
congress to the American debt com
mission. Mr. Garner contended that
the only deduction was that congress
would be called upon to “yield its
control over $ 11,04)0,000.000 of the
people's money.”
“Nothing hut a cowardly congress
—yes, almost a criminal congress—
would surrender the trust in their
hands lo the extent of SII,OOO 000.-
000 without having gone before the
electorate and received authority to
that effect’ declared Mr. Barncr.
Representative Fess denied that he
had advocated surrendering the pow
ers of congress lo the debt commis
sion hut declared the commission
should “have some latitude to make
the best terms possible.”
From this point the debate became
general. Representative Longwortli.
republican, Ohio, declared he stood
absolutely with Mr. Garner on the
point that congress should not sur
render its power lo control eleven
bililons of dollars of the assets of
the people. Representative Mills, re
publican, New* York, took a similar
position while Representatives Mon
dell. Wyoming, the republican lead
er; Rurton, republican. Ohio and
Madden, republican, Illinois .reite
rated their opposition to any remis
sion of the debt.
CO-OPERATIVE HOG
SALE NEXT WEEK
A co-operative hog sale will he
held Wednesday morning, January
15th at Louisville.
Pens have been built near the
Potato House on the railroad and
everything is being done to insure
the success of the sale. Buyers from
the large packing houses will he on
hand to hid for the liogs after the
hogs have been graded by a rep
resentative from the market depart
ment of the state agricultural col
lege. The average weight of the
hogs will range between one hun
dred fifty and two hundred pounds
and about a hundred hogs will be
sold, it is estimated. Anyone who de
sires to sell at this time may enter
hogs in the sale free of cost, and
will thus receive the best market
price for the meat. Several growers
have already entered in the sale
among those being: Messrs. Guy
Firor, R. L. Bostick, W. B. Yearns,
T. B. Weeks, Phillips Abbot, J. W.
Clark and others.
STITESOIISTSBMI
TOBEDUDED
Governor Hardwick An
nounces That He Will Re
commend Creation of Such
Body At Next Legislature.
Atlanta, Jan. 9. “J have become
convinced,” said Governor Hardwick
today, “(hat the creation of a state
constabulary force, similar to that
of Pennsylvania or Texas is a neces
sity. and I am going to make a pret
ty strong recommendation to the
legislature to that effect.’*
The governor, before going into
office, was doubtful about tentative
suggestions which were made at that
time on the advisability of looking
into the question of a state con
stabulary, to determine whether or
not such an organization would be
advisable. More, probably than
any other governor in the same
length of time, though, he has been
appealed to more for aid in law
enforcement in the past couple of
years and for that reason has had
mode frequently impressed upon
him the fact that the state gov
ernment. as such, is entirely power
less to compel enforcement of the
law, and is equally powerless to ex
tend any material aid. In fact, in
response to such appeals the most
the governor can do is to write ap
pealing and persuasive letters to lo
cal authorities calling to their mind
the duties of their offices.
“It is quite frequently the case.’*
said the governor, “that the dsi
patch of three or fourNof the state
constahulary to a community at the
light time would dispel possible
culmination of trouble merely by
the presence in the community of
the constabulary riding around and
looking over a situation. I don’t
hesitate to say if Georgia had a
state constabulary wc would never
he confronted with a situation like
that in Louisiana. It is the assur
ance to a comniuntiy that order will
lie maintained rather than the hope
that it can he restored which is I
most effective and, under the pres
ent condition of things, there is no
branch of the state government
through which that can be done.”
The late Adjutant General J. Van
Holt Nash made a complete survey
of the state some three or four j
years ago, and gathered statistics
from the states where constabulary
forces are in use, as well as from
the Canadian department, upon all
of which lie made the estimate that
Georgia could form the neuclcus of
a state constabulary, to he placed
under the direct authority of the
governor of the state, with from 100
to 150 well selected men.

FARM LOAN YEAR
IS BIG SUCCESS
Loans In Excess of $230,-

A RECORD IN ELMANS ION
■— -T .
Advances Double’' s V Of
Any One Year Since v. ~
tion.
Washington.—Placing loans in la
s; of #230,000,0(H), the Federal
Farm Loan system experienced its
greatest period of expansion in 1922.
Commissioner Lobde l. of the Feder
al Farm Loan Board, declared in ;>
New Year’s greeting to American
farmers. The year’s record for c\
tension of credit represents loans
more than double the amount placed
in any one year since the creation
of the system.
The expanded operations culmin
ated in the declaration of dividend
by six of the more prosperous Farm
Loan Banks aggregating more tliai
#1,000,000. Mr Lobdell declared. Tin
other Land Banks paid their regu
lar dividend of 8 per cent, he re
ported.
“We believe this distribution t<>
the farm borrowers is a transaction
without precedent in the history of
agricultural finance.” the commis
sioner said in a statement on be
half of the board.
“To the farmers outside of the
system wc are pleased to convey the
assurance of every prospect of a
continued supply of loanable funds
at reasonable rates and on easy
terms when ver adequate security is
offered. To one and all wc ex
press the hope that wise legisla
tion and sound practices in co-oper
ating marketing and buying may
spedilv bring you relatively as dost
to the purchasers of your products
J and those from whom you must
purchase as the Farm Loan system
has brought you to the sources of
financial supply.”
