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.

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.
COCA-COLA DIVIDEND

so genial spirit, and so warm ap
preciation of Southern hospitality
that we recognize the Louisville
