SOUTHERN FARMER NO LONGER DEPEN- PENT UPON SINGLE MONEY CROP Says Fairfax Harrison, President of the South ern Railway. / "One proof of this progress is found in a report by the United States Bu reau of Markets that from January 1, 1922, to August 19, 1922,, there were shipped from the states of North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee 107,298 carloads of cab bage, canteloupes, lettuce, onions, strawberries, sweet potatoes, toma toes, watermelons, Irish potatoes, peaches and mixed vegetables, com pared with 83,629 carloads for the same period of last year, an increase of 23,629 carloads for the same period of last year, an increase of 23,669 car loads or 28.30 per cent and this show ing was made in spite of the fact that there was a substantial decrease in production of watermelons and peach es because of unfavorable weather conditions. “Other bits of evidence of the same character are the establishment ol twenty-six new creameries in the ter ritory served by Southern Railway System, a large increase in the pro duction of butter, the raising in south Georgia of milk fed poultry along the lines for many years profitably prac ticed in east Tennessee, the placing on farms throughout the territory of more pure* bred poultry than in any previous year, and the growing of high grade tobacco in South Caro lina and Georgia. “The movement of farm settlers in to the South, comparatively light for several years past, shows signs of increasing. Sound and conservative colonization projects are being launch ed in several localities served by Southern Railway System. Lands will be prepared for farming and offered on terms which should attract a de- stable class of.^arpuftr^from parts of the Unite-d" States where land prices, measured by productive Value, rela tively are much higher than in the South.” GENERAL MEET ING OF THE FIFTH DISTRICT Of the Flint River Asso ciation, Sunday,; Octo ber 29, 2 P.

His own name is not mentioned in the official list, which leaves it to be inferred that he takes no other office than that of prime min ister and; first lord of the treasury, the latter being a post without speci fied duties beyond those attaching to the premiership. Marquis Cuvzon retains his post as secretary for foreign affairs and will be leader of the house of lords. Vis count Peel retains the Indian secretary ship. Stanley Baldwin, as expected, goes to the exchequer, but it has not yet been announced whether he will be leader in the house of commons. The earl of Derby at the war office resumes a post which he has held before. The prime minister had the greatest difficulty with the law of fices. The attorney general, Douglas Mac- garel Hogg, is new to his office. He was formerly closely associated with Lord Curzon. His wife is the daughter of Judge Trimble Brown of Nashville, Tennessee, and widow of the Hon. A. J. Majoribanks. The new cabinet was officially an nounced as follows: Lord president of the council, Mar quis of Salisbury. Lord high chancellor, Viscount Cave. Chancellor of the exchequer, Stanley Baldwin. * Secretary for home affairs, William Bridgeman. Secretary for foreign affairs, Lord Curzon. Minister of agriculture, Sir Robert A.' Sufiiiers, Secretary for Scotland, Viscount No- var. Attorney general, Douglas McG. Hogg. Lord advocate, Hon. W. A. Watson. Secretary for the colonies, the Duke of Devonshire. Secretary for India, Viscount Peel. Secretary for war, the Earl of Derby. First lord of the admiralty, Lieut. Col. L. C. M. S. Amery. President of the board of trade, Sir Philip Lloyd-Graeme. Minister of health, Sir Arthur Grif- fith-Boscawed. President of the board, of education, Edward F. L. Wood, M. P., for the Ripon division of Yorkshire. There are still a number of appoint ments to be made, and it is noticeable that the five officers held under Pre mier Lloyd George by Austen Chamber- lain', H. A. L. Fisher, T. J. MacNamara, Sir Homar Greenwood and the earl of Crawford and Balcaress, who all poined Lloyd George, in the wilderness, are not filled. It is expected that the office of chief secretary for Ireland will be abolished and the ministry of labor will be merged into some other department. CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS APPROVE PARLEY SUGGESTION Washington.—Informal communica tions from the five Central American governments invited by the United States to meet the conference here in December for discussion of arms limi tation projects and other matters indi cate early acceptance of the invitations and appointment of the five delega tions. There is no doubt that Secretary Hughes’ action, taken as it was virtu ally at the request of the five gov ernments, has been received in Cen tral America with gratification. Formal acceptance in some cases may be delayed through the necessity of securing approval of either cabinet or congress. Talalla. Oklahoma, Bank Is Robbed Claremore, Okla.—Three unmasked bandits robbed the First State bank at Talalla, 20 miles north of here, and escaped with $1,200 and an un known quantity of liberty bonds.

They had been seen frequently by revenue men who thought they were nuns, and eo did not suspect them.

Tories High Incensed Over Exclusion London.—Development of dissatis faction on the part of the conservative peers and the rank and file with the alleged packed character of the pro posed Carlton club meeting was the only new feature in the political crisis. There is increasing resentment over the limitation of the meeting to mem bers of the house of commons and the exclusion of the conservative peers, it being contended that such a meet ing would fail to be representative of the party as a whole. Probing N. Y. Man Held For Murder New York.—Investigation by the fed eral grand jury of statements made by former Capt. Robert Rosenbluth, in con nection with his indictment on a charge of murder near Tacoma, Wash., were started the other day.

British Election Set For November 18 London.—All political parties wel come the prospect of an immediate general election, which, it is recogniz ed, could not have been delayed in any case. The Conservatives, especial ly, feel that it would greatly strength en their administration if they were able to get a definite mandate from the country. Moreover, formation of the new' ministry now w'ould entail about fifteen elections, involving much loss of time, with the possible pros pect or a general election in the near future still confronting them ORDER UPHOLDING OCEAN DRY RULE JUDGE HAND EXTENDS STAY TEMPORARILY TO ALLOW AP PEAL TO U. S. COURT FOREIGN SHIPSARE INCLUDED Finds Vessels Serving Liquor To Pas- sengers, However, Guilty Of Transportation New York.—Federal Judge Learned Hand handed down a decision dismiss ing the motion of foreign and Ameri can ship companies for a permanent injunction restraining federal prohibi tion agents from putting into effect the bone dry ruling of Attorney General Daugherty. He extended the stay tem porarily, however, providing that the steamship companies file an immediate appeal to the United States Supreme court. Judge Hand decided in favor of the government on all points. The deci sion was rendered on the specific mat ter of the application of foreign lines for an injunction protecting from seiz ure ships carrying liquor under seal on the eastbound voyage from the United States. The decision applies to both foreign and American lines because of the state ment made by Judge Haud during the injunction proceedings last week that a defeat of the motion of foreign lines would naturally bring about defeat of the American lines’ motion for an in junction. The temporary extension of the stay granted by Judge Hand applies only to liquor to be used as supplies for members of the ships’ crews on the east-bound voyage to Europe. This ex tension was granted on the furnishing of a bond of twenty-five thousand by the steamship companies to guarantee that the liquor would not be used for any other purposes than the one stip ulated. Judge Hands found that steamships, in carryiug liquor and serving it to passengers and members of the crew, were guilty of transportation, but he said he w’ould go no further than to issue an injunction against interfer ing* tffipf’Ste carnage a ftock set tssary for the crews’ rations on the east-bound voyage. “The plaintiffs must each give a bond of twenty-five thousand dollars conditional against the use of such stocks for any other purpose than as crews’ rations,” he added, dismissing all other motions for- injunctions. Loss Of Dirigible Will Not Interfere Washington.—Despite the destruc tions by fire of the hydrogen-filled dirigible C-2, the army’s immediate plans for the development of lighter- than-air craft will continue, Secretary of War Weeks has announced follow ing a conference with Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service. The los^of the C-2, however, has fin ally determined army officials to sup plant hydrogen gas with the non-in flammable helium as soon as possible. It will take about a year, they estimate, to manufacture and store sufficient of the new gas to take care of air service needs. MANYUVESLDSTINN.Y.BLAZE Work Believed To Be That Of Pyro- maniac—Heroic Youth Saves Many Lives New York.—Fifteen persons, most of them children, lost their lives in a fire believed by city officials to be the ; work of a pyromaniac. The flames | swept with murderous suddenness from j cellar to attic of a five-story brick ten- ; ement. at Lexinqlon avenue and One i Hundred and T * *:b street in the thick ly populated east. side. The blaze apparently started In a ; baby carriage inder the stairs in the : lower hall under almost identical cir- ; cumstances as the recent incendiary fire in an upper west side apartment house, which resulted in seven deaths. I So quickly did the flames shoot through the building that a number of the dead were found in bed, burned or suffocat- | ed without the slightest opportunity to ; escape. Nathan Silver and four of his chil dren were among the victims, Mrs. Sil ver escaping. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham j Matilsky and Sidney and Catherine Su- garman, brother and sister of Mrs. Ma* tiisky, also perished. j. City Marshal Joseph Lazarus saw smoke issuing from the building and ran to the next corner and turned in. j an alarm. When he returned the ’ whole building, the ground floor of j which is occupied by stores, was in flames, and exit by the stairways was cut off. Most of the persons on the second floor made their way down the fire escapes, but those on the upper floors had to battle through smoke and flames pouring out of the win- , dows. One aged woman, Mrs. Mary Ing lass, disregarded the warning of fire men and leaped from the fourth floor, receiving injuries which caused her death later. Whille the firemen were at work on the second floor the third floor collapsed, but not before a warn ing roar had sent the firemen to safety. Nearly a score of persons owe their lives to 17-year-old James O’Donnell, a mechanic's helper, who was eating at a nearby restaurant when he heard a woman cry for help. Running to the street he saw the woman leaning out of the window on the second floor of the burning tenement with two small | children by her side. The young man ! clambered on the sill of a store win- '’Jwn, jrorr-'’ a^Kcxijht a swinging sign and pulled himself up to the win dow. He led the three frightened ten ants down the fire escape to the street and then ran back and rescued the woman’s 18-month-old baby. Later he went to the roof of an adjoining build ing and by throwing a board over the alley space made it possible for a num ber of tenants who seemingly had been cut off from escape on the roof to cross in safety.
