THE NEWS AND FARMER HID WIRES TO HOLD OPEN COURT Aiken, S. C., Aug. 28.—A perplexing state of affairs was caused here this morning when it was learned that W. W. Moyd, the principal witness for the state in the case of Mrs. Della Kate Williamson, had wired, “Hold the court open, I am com ing!” to Magistrate William B. Ra born, from Tallahassee, Fla., the wire being received shortly after the dis missal of Mrs. Williamson of the charge of murdering her husband. The telegram was shown this morn ing to acting Solicitor Claude E. Sawyer, who expiessed the opinion that Mrs. Wiliamson could yet be indicted by the grand jury if evi dence strong enough be presented, despite the dismissal of the case by Magistrate Raborn. It has been learned that the date of the preliminary hearing for Mrs. Williamson had been set by Magis trate Raborn six weeks in advance, and he stated today that the state had had ample time to have its wit nesses promptly on hand. He post poned the case for four days, he said, to allow Moyd plenty of time to arrive from any section of the Unit ed States, and he was anxious to hear his testimony be it weighty or not. He declared that his decis ion was not final should the state wish to open Ihe case, and that the grand jury could properly indict Mrs. Williamson upon sufficient evi dence being placed before the body. W. W. Moyd, the belated witness for the state, was expected by at torneys to testify that Mrs. Wil liamson had confessed her guilt to him in Greenville, S. C., when he essayed the role of a traveling for tune teller and crossed her palm with a coin. Moyd, it will be re called, was alleged to have been whipped and run out of Horsecreek Valley about a year ago for alleged misconduct. He made no appearance in Aiken today.

TEST POISONS Demonstration Plats Are Held in Laurens County Dublin, Ga., Aug. 29.—Results from the poisoning tests against the boll weevil conducted in this county under supervision of the Southern Cotton Oil Company have been sat isfactory this year. S. T. Hall, one of the best known farmers in this county, had two of these demonstration plats on his land, and indication are that they will yield at least 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre for the dusted section, hut on the undusted check plans the yield will be practically nothing. The dusted stalks are full of grown bolls, while the undusted average two bolls to the stalk, with all squares gone and no blooms. Comparisons of the three methods used in fighting the weevil have been going on at the Chamber of Commerce here all the week. Stalks from fields where the Florida Plan was used, where Hill’s Mixture was applied, where dusting was done exclusively, are all on display. All three methods show up well, about equally, except that the Florida Plan is just a shade heavier fruited with grown bolls. The summary of the experience of farmers who fought the weevils this year is that using poison, and pulling off the squares eifrly in the season will be effec tive. Dr. O. J. Baggarly, Opto metrist, of Atlanta, will be in Louisville, Saturday, Sept. Bth., at the Polhill-Denny Drug Cos. If you are in doubt about your eyes, he will make a careful examination and fit you with proper glasses. ONE DAY ONLY. Orders taken for Fudge, Divinity and Brown Sugar Candy. Mildred Phillips.

BELGIUM IN HER AGAINSTHDWJSD REPLVIO BRITISH Grievance Committee Agrees In Toto With Charges Made a Short Time Ago by Attor ney Edgar Latham; TENDERED ef ATTORNEY GROVER MIDDLEBROOKS Will Call Upon President J. A. Branch to Assemble General Meeting of Atlanta Bar As sociation. Atlanta, Aug. 28.—The grievance committee of the Atlanta Bar Asso- I ciation, Robert P. Jones chairman, j in its report today based on ihe evi- I dence taken last Friday in public hearing, supports in to the charges made by Attorney Edgar Latham I that Judge G. H. Howard, prior to | his appointment by Governor Walk er to the Fulton superior court bench, made proposal to traffic in the political patronage of the gov ernor s office, and did propose to Mr. Latham a division of the fees of the office of solicitor general. The commitee's report was’tend ered to Attorney Grover Middle brooks, chairman of the executive committee of the Bar Association shortly before 1 o’clock todav, and information is that Mr. Middlebrooks will call upon President J. A. Branch to assemble a genera! meeting of the full bar in the next day or two in order that the findings' of fact by the grievance committee, together with the recommended action by the executive committee may be put be fore the Bar Association. In that connection it is learned that some very drastic resolutions are in process of preparation for offering to the Bar AssociaUpn as a whole. -• The grievance committee reviews in full, in its report, the testimony taken by it from a number of wit nesses, under oath, last Friday and hands in the following: “Finding of Facts” “Based on the documents and evi dence reported to the committee, it finds the facts to be as follows: “1. While the bill providing for the new judgeship for Fulton county was pending before the Legislature, Mr. Latham received and presented to the Governor endorsements of practically all the members of the Atlanta Bar for appointment to this judgeship. Judge Howard, in the last cam paign was campaign manager for Governor Walker and Mr. Latham sought his support in obtaining the appointment, and received the prom ise thereof. “2. On Monday or Tuesday follow ing the inauguration of Governor Walker, Judge Howard called Mr. Latham to his office ami proposed to him substantially the following ar rangement: That upon passage of the bill creating the new judgeship in Fulton county he, Judge Howard, through the use Of his claimed in fluence with Governor Walker, would secure the appointment of Hon. John A. Boykin to the new judgeship, and the appointment of Mr. Latham to the position of solicitor general thus made vacant by Mr. Boykin’s ap pointment, provided Mr. Latham, in consideration of the use of such al leged political influence, would divide with'! Judge Howard the fees and profits flowing from this office. The proposal carried the idea that to furnish an apparent justification for the division of fees, Judge Howard would designate some young man in his office to co-operate with the so licitor’s office. The Committee, how ever, finds as a fact that the basis for division actually contemplated by the proposal was not on account of services to be rendered to the so licitor general in fulfilling the du ties of the office by Judge Howard or his associates, but was on account of the use of "alleged political in fluence in obtaining the appoint ment, and was so understood by both parties when the proposal was made. ‘‘3. This proposal was rejected by Mr. Latham. “4. After the proposal was reject ed Judge Howard himself became a candidate for appointment to this position, and secured the appoint ment from the governor.

Stands With French on Prin cipal Points of Contention, Maintaining That Occupa tion is Legal. PRIORITY IN PAYMENT CLAIMED BY BELGIANS Points Out That Thus Far Belgium Has Received Only Two Million Gold Marks More Than British. Paris, Aug. 28. —The Belgian gov ernment in its reply to the last British reparations note stands with France on the principal points of contention, maintaining that the legality of the Ruhr occupation has been established by the previous ac tion of the allies, including Great Britain and that evacuation of the Ruhr Valley is impossible on simple promises from Germany. The re ply, given out at the Belgian em bassy here this morning, dwells particularly upon the justice of Bel gium's claim to priority in repara tions payments. It pionts out that thus far Belgium has received only two million gold marks more than Great Britain. Foreign Minister Jaspar asserts that the whole problem of repara tions and the question of inter-allied debts are definitely bound together and he proposes anew method of procedure in the negotiations, sug gesting conversations among the al - without reverting to the old system of conferences. M. Jasper remarks that if a re duction in Germany’s debt is neces sary, the balance she is obligated to pay ought to apply to material dam ages only. This might be under stood as menacing the elimination of pensions from the allied claims to Germany, thus reducing the Brit ish share to an infinitesimal per centage. The Ruhr regime, the note says, is what the Germans have required it to be by their violence and resist ance. It was intended to be an eco nomic operation and a simple seiz ure of the pledges which the allies had a right to take under the treaty of Versailles. If the military feature of the occupation has been neces sarily extended, the note continues, the Germans alone are responsible. The occupation will he modified whenever the German people aban don their present attitude. M. Jaspar lays down the principle that if the German debt is reduced the percentage of the allied shares must be revised. He contends that the balance due from Germany must apply only to material damage done by her during the war, that is, the destruction of property in Belgium and France, shipping losses at sea and damages from air raids in Eng land. He remarked that although the material damage is perhaps less than the 132 billion gold marks now considered as due from Germany, it is considerably more than the sums mentioned by certain of the allies as the total Germany can pay. The note agrees that the negotia tions thus far show that Germany’s debt can be considerably reduced. The question, he asserts, is how it can best be done with justice to all the allies. In conclusion the Belgian foreign minister declares that so long as the security of the countries which suf fered from invasion is not assured, there can be neither a real and en-, durable peace nor a reduction in armament. London, Ang. 28.—Belgium’s latest reparations note made public today in Paris, is considered by the Brit ish government officials to whom it was addressed, as offering little or no advance toward a solution of the Ruhr impasse. While appreciating the generous language and the marked amity of the document British foreign office experts were regretfully forced to admit that its financial proposals fall far short of Great Britain’s ex* pcctations. The actual formulas with which the note abounds will be ex amined by the British treasury au thorities with an open and sympa thetic mind in the hope of find ing even some slight basis of ac commodation to the British repara tions plans- British officials admitted they were frankly disappointed that the Brussels cabinet failed to offer any thing new or anything concrete or workable solution of its own con ception. They professed to see in the note some evidence of composi tion by Premier Poincare.
