TIE WIT (USE
Convicts Who Claim to Have
Been Flogged and Former
Guards to be on Stand in
Martin Tabert Probe.
Madison, Fla., April 10.—Former
convicts who claim to have been
flogged, and former guards in the
camp where the flogging took place,
will testify here tomorrow before
the Madison grand jury investiga
tion into the death of Martin Ta
hert, North Dakota youth who died
while serving a prison sentence in
this state last year.
G. Grimson, stale's attorney of
North Dakota, and Judge W. J.
Knceshaw of that state, tfho arc
here to assist in the prosecution
conferred tonight with Florida au
thorities in regard to the presenta
tion of the case to the grand jury.
The state, it is understood, will
contend that Tabert was a victim
of a whipping administered at the
camp of the Putnam Lumber Com
pany at Clara, Fla., and will ask
for the indictment of Walter Higgin
botham, convict camp boss, who is
held on a charge of murder in con
nection with the case.
Higginbotham was brought here
today from Dixie County where the
alleged whipping is said to have
been administered.
Tabert died after he had been
convicted of beating his way on a
train. He was sentenced to three
months and later leased to the .lum
ber company to work out the lime.
Officials of that concern claim that
death resulted from a complication
of diseases. The state, it is said,
will introduce witnesses in an effort
to show that death was due to a
severe whipping administered by
Higginbotham while Tabert was sick
and too weak to work.

THE NEWS AND FARMER
LOUISVILLE ON BOOM
Twon Makes Much Progress
in Past 12 Months.
Louisville is on a boom, there is
no doubt about that. There are only
139 residences for white people in
Louisville and 24 of this number
have been built in the past ten
years; of this, 24, nine have been
built in the past 12 months. Louis
ville is one of Georgia’s oldest towns
and if nine new homes had been
constructed here each 12 months
since the granting of Louisville’s
charter, Just think what a city we
would have. Louisville is showing
progress in every way and along
every line- Our new school is one of
the very finest in the state. Our
new and modern electric light plant
furnishes 24 hour current, which is
a big improvement over the system
of a few years ago when we had
lights only eight hours out of 24.
Our water supply has been increased
by the boring of anew well. Several
years ago and now, no matter what
circumstances arise our water supply
will he adequate. Since the reservoir
has been covered state authorities
have declared our water to be the
purest in the state. Our streets are
well lighted—and now that water
mains have been extended all over
town every house in the city is in
reach of water lines which give not
ouly water supply but fire protection
as well. Louisville has a complete
system of sewerage and our streets,
though not paved, are in excellent
condition.
Our two banks which are housed
in beautiful buildings have state
wide reputations and their state
ments which appear in this paper
quarterly show that the financial
condition of Louisville is far above
the average. The financial condition
of our town proper is the talk of
the state, articles on Louisville’s fi
nancial condition having appeared in
two of our state dailies in the past
few weeks. We are blessed with all
the necessary conveniences and are
not burdened down with municipal
taxes and are withal out of debt.
Tlie next time that you have an
opportunity and the time after that
and so on and on—boost Louisville
and know that Louisville is fully
worthy of being boosted.

AMERICA RESENTS
POLITICAL METHODS
OF LENINE, TROTSKY
State Department withdraws
Authorization Under Which
Ekaterina Kalinin Had
Planned to Visit U. S.
Washington, April 10. “The
American government again lias
made manifest its deep resentment
and abhorrence at the political
methods of I.enine and Trotzky.
As an avowed protest against the
execution of the prelate Butchka
vitch, put to death because he op
posed the revolutionary doctrines of
the soviet, the state department has
withdrawn the authorization under
which Ekaterina Kalinin, wife of
the lUtssian president, had planned
to pay a visit to the United States.
In announcing their action today
department officials left no doubt
of their aversion to any further
thought of admitting to American
hospitality an emissary even indi
rectly connected with the soviet
regime. They took the position
ttiat even the ostensibly humanita
rian purpose of her visit would not
counteract the feeling of repugnance
against her because of the execu
tion of the vicar general. “The
department of state,” said the terse
ly-worded announcement, “has can
celled the authorization for a vise
for Madame Kalinin, wife of the
president of the so-called soviet re
public of Russia. Tlie presence of
Madame Kalinin in this country is
rendered wholly undesirable by the
deep feeling which has been arous
ed by the execution of Vicar Gen
eral Butchkavitch. The action of
the department is taken especially
in protest against the execution.”
Even before the death sentence
of the prelate was carried into ef
fect, many protests against the ad
mission of the Russian president’s
wife had reached the state depart
ment, organizations who have op
posed dissemination of soviet doc
trines in this country predicting
that she would make political capi
tal of her proposed trip over the
country in tlie interest of Russian
relief. Administration officials here
could find no legal barrier to her
entry into the country, however, and
the American consuls at Riga and
Reval were instructed to visa her
passports.
Since the execution, however,
which was carried out over the ob
jection of most of the civilized
world and in disregard of an ear
nest request from the United States
for a respite these protests have
greatly increased in volume. Sup
plementing the short statement
given out at the department, offi
cials said the action taken would lie
a response to these protests as well
as protest itself against the impo
sition of the death penalty.
Madame Kalinin's tour of the
United States was to have occupied
two months, during which time she
was to address various meetings uny
der the auspices of the American
committee for relief of Russian
children. It was the understanding
here that she was preparing to
| start for American in the very
I near future.

LOUISVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1923.
NEEDS OF LOUISVILLE
Louisville, one of middle Georgia’s
very best towns, has many improve
ments, and offers many advantages
to its citizens and farmers in rural
districts, however, there are several
enterprises that would make money
in Louisville and at the same time
prove of much value to our town
and community. .
First, and foremost, Louisville
should have an ice plant with cold
storage arrangements in connection.
The idea of Louisville farmers hav
ing to haul their meat to other
towns and counties not so progres
sive as ours iu many ways, to be
cured, is a thorn in the flesh of
every true and loyal Louisvillan.
Why can't Louisville have an ice
factory and thereby place ice on
the local market at a price that is
in the reach of every citizen of the
county? Now, that it is necessary
for our ice to be freighted from Ma
con, Augusta—or other cities—it is
impossible for the local dealers to
sell ice except at an almost pro
hibitive price. Every time anew en
terprise is started in Louisville we
add just that much pulling power
to our town.
Now that our farmers arc learn
ing to diversify and arc very anxious
to learn more and more about the
new methods of making a living on
their farms, it behooves ns, as citi
zens of Louisville, to help them ail
we can. In tlie writer’s mind there
is no one thing that is wholly in
some local citizen’s reach, that will
mean more to our farmers than the
establishment ,of a milk depot in
Louisville. There is a strong demand
(which is growing daily) for sour
cream. Representatives from ihc
Georgia-Carolina Dairy Products Cos.
of Augusta, Ga., were in Louisville
last week and the manager of this
well organized enterprise made the
statement that they we re unable to
even in part supply the Augusta
market with butter. Their plant is
capable of turning out the finished
product hut they are unable to pur
chase a sufficient quantity of sour
cream. More butter is being shipped
into Georgia each month than is be
ing produced in the state. This is an
appalling thought when we realize
that most of our foreign supply
WORKMEN OF RUHR
ATTEND FUNERAL OF
THE KRUPP WORKERS
Seven Thousand of Them
Form a Lane of Honor near
ly Five Miles Long For the
Funeral Procession.
ALL ESSEN CLOSED AND
STREETS ARE CROWDED
From early in Morning thous
ands of Curious Take
Stands Along Route—Mem
bers Trade Unions Keep
Order.
Essen, April 10.—Workmen of the
Ruhr—7o,ooo of them—formed a lane
of honor nearly five miles long to
day for the funeral procession of
the German employes of the Krupp
works, who wore killed March 111 st,
in a clash with French troops. The
entire roadway leading from the
Krupp plant, where the first services
were held ,to the cemetery was lined
on both sides by Krupp employes,
miners and factory workers of
Bochum and other industrial cen
ters, who came to participate in the
funeral ceremonies.
All Essen was closed for the day
and the streets were crowded with
spectators from the center of the
town to the burial place, which was
laid out during the war for Germans
who died in the service of the coun
try.
From early in the morning thou
sands of the curious took their stand
along the route, members of the
trade unions wearing white bras
sards and maintaining order. At 9:30
the bodies were removed from the
chapel and placed on three hearses
decorated with pine branches. Forty
trade union delegations headed the
cortege, while the families of the
victims and Krupps directors
brought up the rear.
One of Largest Ever Held
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in Germany; it was well
organized and passed off without
serious incidents. In Essen few
French soldiers weroto be seen as
General Jacqucinot had announced
previously that there would be no
interference so long as order was
maintained.
Preliminary services were held in
the hall of honor in the administra
tion building of the Krupps where
the bodies, in 12 oaken caskets,
banked with flowers had been tak
en. The Germans announced that
while 13 deaths had been caused by
the clash, one workman had in re
ality died of apoplexy, not wounds,
and on this account had not been in
cluded with those buried today.
The only speaker here was Herr
Krupp von Itoblen, who expressed
sympathy with the relatives of the
victims in behalf of the directorate.
He alluded to the faithfulness of the
dead to their country and said:
“We are all united in our sorrow
for these men who fell in. the
cause of freedom and for Germany’s
honor. May this united sorrow help
us V 3 hold together aud bear and
overcome the heavy burden upon us
at the present time.”
STARVES FOR CHARITY.
Brighton, Eng.—Miss Mary Plan
ner deprived herself of food in order
to help the' poor and at last was
found starved to death.
comes from northern states where
the cows are kept in steam heated
barns in winter and pastured at best
only four months out of twelve. In
Georgia our weather is never so se
vere that our cattle are not able to
graze, and nine months out of twelve
usually finds our pastures green. If
we can’t produce cream and milk
under tsese conditions and meet
competitive prices then it's surely
our fault. There are any number of
farmers in this imemdiate territory
who haven’t enough cream to make
an individual shipment and the re
sult is he makes no effort to turn
ibis valuable product into ready
cash. If there was a milk depot in
Louisville the farmers would soon
be raising better cows and more
cows because they could work into
the dairy business by degrees, start
ing off by delivering to the local de
pot as small a quantity of crearu as
a pint every day or so. At first this
enterprise would not be a living gold
mine but just as soon as the ladies
on our farms learned that they could
find a ready market iu Louisville
for all the sour cream they could get
business would soon pick up.
Mr. W. B. Tucker, agricultural de
velopment agent of tlie Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic Railroad, has
lurnishcd some interesting and un
usual figures on a farm dairy locat
ed near Cordele, Georgia.
Ibe owner of this farm dairy is
1! li. Finn. Mr. Finn has fourteen
v >ws and be ships the cream from
these to the Cordele creamery. Here
are tlie receipts for three months
as taken from the hooks 6f the Cor
dele creamery: For November,
$2611.15; for December, $268.85; for
January, $284.00.
Mr. Finn paid out nothing for feed,
raising ail the feed on his own farm :
he paid out nothing for labor, milk
ing the cows himself. In addition he
had the skimmed milk from these
fourteen cows to feed his hogs and
chickens and the fertilizer to enrich
his farm.
The farm of Mr. Finn is a twenty
horse farm. On it in 1922 he raised
103 bales of cotton and be did not
have to go into debt one penny for
the raising. The creamery checks
enabled him to pay cash for what lie
bought.

DISLIKES TIE! OF
ClilCr 111 1D24
Lets it Be Known Emphati
cally That He Regards the
Present Political Discus
sions as Most Premature.
WILL NOT MAKE TRIP
AS POLITICAL LEADER
Declares He Prefers Remain
ing “In Communication
With Laddie Boy” to Trip
As Candidate for Re-elec
tion.
Washington, April )o.—President
Harding took occasion today to let
it lie made known emphatically that
he regards the present political dis
cussions as lo his candidacy in
1924 as most premature and further
more that he will forego his con
templated western trip rather than
make it as a political leader.
Mr. Harding, it was said at the
White House, had insistently adher
ed to the proposition that the. pre
sent is not the time to discuss a
possible candidacy in 1924 and that
the president has a work to per
form and a duty to fulfill unham
pered by political discussions and
predictions. Put in another way, it
was asserted that Mr. Harding re
garded it as unfortunate that a
president could not for at least the
first three years of his administra
tion proceed without having to di
vert a portion of his time and
energy to political matters.
White house officials in making
plain and also more emphatic the
attitude of the president clearly
were endeavoring to throw cold
water on the political discussions
which since the adjournment of
congress and during the absence of
the president from the capital have
been waxing warmer and warmer.
Depends on Trip.
Upon the diminution of political
talk depends whether the president
will make the trip he is planning
to the Pacific Coast and Alaska dur
ing the summer. He was said to be
making all plans for the trip, start
ing about June 20th and reaching
Alaska about July 10th, but he also
was said to prefer remaining in
Washington “in communication with
Laddies Boy” to a trip which would
put him before the people as a can
didate for re-election.
The discussion of the proposed
trip brought out that the chief exe
cutive feeling that his visit to Pana
ma prior to his inauguration had
aided him greatly in dealing with
matters relating to the canal zone,
xvas extremely anxious to get first
hand information as to conditions in
Alaska. The first half of Mr. Har
ding’s administration, it was added,
demonstrated the need of this in
formation in the solution of prob
lems involving conflicts of jurisdic
tion.
To make this information avail
able to those directly concerned with
the administration of Alaskan af
fairs the president, it was said, pro
posed to take several members of
his cabinet with him.

Hopes of Getting Lights'
Dome of Court House and

Every street in Louisville has
been thoroughly worked, and all art j
m the very best condition we have
ever seen them. There is sonic talk
of the council buying a Fordson
tractor and a road scraper with
which they hope to keep the streets
in good order. This appears to he a
good idea, at any rate it will he a
mighty good thing for our town to;
keep our streets in good order—be
cause strangers and visitors judge
us on the condition of our streets'
more than on any other municipal
improvement.
Slave Market Moved
File Old Slave Market, Louisville’s
pride and joy, which has for some
hundred years or so stood on our
main business street out of line with
everything, has at last been moved
to the center of Broad at the inter
section of Mulberry. A brick founda
tion is being laid under tlie mar
ket. so that our valuable old relic
may stand several more hundred
years as a reminder of bygone
days.
The coping around the center park
has been completed and this work
has improved the looks of our busi
ness section even more than we had
hoped. When the civic committee of
the P. T. A.’s get flowers growing
in the park, we will put our Broad
Street up against any street in the'
state and not be ashamed.
Lights o Courthouse and Market
Louisville has made so many steps \
toward municipal improvements
lately that we are all anxious that
the good work be continued. There
is not a prettier courthouse in the,
state than ours and no relic in the
South stands out with more prom- i
| inence than our Slave Market- We
j should have lights on the courthouse
dome and on the Slave Market cup
; ola. No improvement we could make
I would add more to the looks of
Louisville’s appearance at night. Ev
erybody is ready to co-operate—so—
somebody make a move.
