OUSTED OFFICER TO

Change Under Federal Patronage
Expected For Some Time
And News No Surprise
Major Janies A. Fort, of Ameri
cus, state prohibition director for
Georgia for the last ye. r and a half,
with headquarters in Atlanta, and at
present state commander of the Geor
gia division, American Legion, is ex
pected t'' return to hr; home in Amer
icus wthin a few days and resume the
practice of law, his successor having
just been appointed by Daniel A.
Riper, Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue at Washington. His successoi
is Fred D. Dismukes, of Thomasville,
a republican, whose name it has been
known for some time had been settled
upon for the place held by Major
Fort, a Democrat. ,
The appointment to this office cams
to Major Fort through Senator Har
ris a few months after the former’s
return from the war, in which he
served principally as expert drill
master in the 31st Division in the
training of men for the front. At
the time he accepted the place he
was practicing law here with his
brother, John Allen Fort.
NEWS OF CHANGE NO
SURPRISE IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Oct. I—News of the
selection of F. D. Dismukes as suc
cessor to James A. Fort wil Inot be
received in Georgia with surprise, as
Republican leaders had predicted that
he would be given the place.
Mr. Dismukes conies to. A iaata
been an influential citizen. At one
time he was postmaster in that
city. He lias taken an active part
in Republican affair’s for several
years. For several weeks he has
been in Atlanta conferring with
party leaders, but Friday he was
reported in Washington.
Although the federal prohibition
force in Georgia was built up to a
remarkable degree of’ efficiency
during the administration of D. J
Gantt, southeastern supervisor, much
confusion followed the general reduc
tion last spring in the number of drj
agents. Since many men have been
dropped from the force because of
the shortage of funds it is admitted
in federal circles that the law has not
been nearly so effective as when more
men were in the field.
However, some of the suspended
agents have been replaced on the
payroll and a genera Ireorganization
of federal prohibition work is under
way. The administration of Mr. Dis
mukes will be observed with interest
as the dry force in this section has
been considered one of the best in
the country,-,
Director Fort has had charge of
the enforcement squad for only a
few weeks. Until recently his du
ties had to dp with the supervision
of the distribution of alcohol and
similar products, but when the office
of supervising agent, held by D. J-
Gantt was abolished, he was placed
in authority over the dry agents.

YOU AND I

j CANNOT BUY GOODS, TO
FURNISH JOBS UNTIL ALL
PRICES AND COSTS SEEK
J SAME LEVEL. ?
'THE only thing that can end un
* employment is employment. The
only thing that can provide employ
ment is widespread buying by the
public. I The unemployment confer
ence knows this. It. is obvious. Soon
we shall have “drives” to stimulate
buying. But that can only be a tem
porary stimulant.
A blind man can see why buying
is stagnant.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
says that wholesale prices are above
1913 prices in these percentages:
House furnishings 130, building ma
terial, 98, clothes and Clothing 79,
fuel and lighting 82, metals and
metal produtes 20, food 53, farm
products 18.
How can the farmer, getting only
18 per cent more for his crop than
he got in 1913, buy, for instance,
house furnishings wholesaled at 130
per cent higher price than in 1913? I
There will be no general bjjyingl
movement, to furnish emploment, tin-;
til all prices seek the same level in!
comparison with pre-war prices. That
will necessitate equal lowering of;
costs is all industries. Will it come? (
Yes.
Water seeks its own level, and
price deflation is the water of
economics.
NO
The prong - lh.orned antelope,
slaughtered by hunters on western
plains, is near extinction. Ten speci
mens have been caught in Canada
with great difficulty, and will be
sent to Wichita Preserve, Idaho, to
preserve the snecies.
What for? If these antelope in
crease much, they soon will be prey
for hunters again. Nature is through
with the prong-horned antelope. She
is exterminating it as rihe extermi
nated the dinosaur and the mammoth.
Let it fade into oblivion peacefully.
FOOD
Everything is unimportant until
food has been provided for. The big
gest internationa Inews today coined
from the Department of Agriculture
—that the world wheat crop this year
is 65,000,000 bushels bigger than last
year.
It is 110,000,000 bushels bigger
than the 1909-1913 yearly average.
The French crop is as big, bushel for
bushel, as in pre-war years.
Once the world gets its stomach
full, it will stop agitation and get
down to work. The gullet rules man
and governments.
DISABLED
About 150,000 Americans, now
living, were completely disabled by
industrial accidents. Fifteen thousand;
of them became totally blind while
at work. So reports the American
Engineering Council.
Nearly every industrial accident is
due to some one’s carelessness.
Automatic safeguards help, but
tfiey cannot render work fool-proof.
Absolute safety requires personal
caution.
MACHINE
English railroads test but, with
success, a locomotive that seems to

JOHN D. WALKER
Banker Once Tried Here, Later
Fugitive, Accused In Sinking
Fund’s Disappearance
SPARTA, Oct. I.—John D. Walk-!
tr, former bank president of a chain i
of banks throughout the state, was;
jointly indicted with Robert B. |
Holmes here Friday afternoon on thiej
charge of embezzlement in connec-j
tion with the disappearance of the
city’s sinking fund. This is the first
indictment returned against Walker!
who left here myteriously several j
years ago and subsequently was dis
covered in San Antonio, Texas.
Resuming its investigation of the
defunct bank of Sparta, after having
returned two indictments against
Holmes, its former president, Thurs
day, the grand jury returned four
other true bills against Helmes, two
of them charging embezzlement.
The September term of Superior
Court has been adjourned to he call
; td into session on the first Monday
iin November. Efforts will be made
immediately to have Walker re
turned to this state foY,trial.
During the hearing of the suit
of the bond commission against the
First National Bank, of Sparta,
Homies, and the Third National
Bank, of Atlanta, for the return of
the city’s sinking fund of $20,000,
affidavits signed by Walker played
an irtrportant part.
WALKER TRIED HERE

John D. Walker was tried in Su

years ago as an accessory before the

the defalcation of the boy cashier of
I the Bank of DeSoto, who had de

George Gafdner, former Americus
boy, who played prep football at
Americus High school three years
and was captain of the Co-Op Com-,

He says, to check loss of hair, you ;
should use tonics, take special ex

GOLD

More gold we have, more certain
our currency is to be kept inflated,
with prices"unnaturally high in con

It is our. gold hoard that it strangling

AMERICUS, GEORGIA SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 1, 1921
RECEIPTS REACH
12,000BALES0F
’2l COTTON HERE
Picking Practically Completed—
Market Inactive At Week-
End
Cotton receipts at the three Ameri
cus warehouses reached the 12,000
bale mark Saturday afternoon. At
noon the receipts stood at 11,908
bales, and it was said that more than
100 bales were in sight for the after
noon. However, receipts were much
lower than a week ago, having been
tapering off rapidly this week.
The market was inactive Saturday.
Spot cotton, good middling basis, was
quoted at 20 cents, but tins was nomi
nal, as there was practically no trad
ing. The growers were not offering
at 20 cents, practically all that had
been held for that having been dis
posed of during the week, and the
buyers were not actively bidding. The
dullness of the market resulted from
the coming of two government re
ports on Monday—ginnings, which I
will be announced at 9 a. m. in Wash-I
ington, and condition, which will be
announced at 10 a. m. Practically
all operators were waiting at the
week-end for these reports. As a
consequence the future market sag-.
ged a bit at Saturday’s close.
The cotton in this section'of the!
state is now practically all picked and I
most of it ginned. Thos. G. Hudson, ■
of Americus, former state commis-1
sioner of agriculture, now a fertil- i
izer dealer, this week motored well I
over the territory embraced between i
Americus, Vienna, Perry and Monte-1
zuma.
“I covered that whole territory and
I don’t believe I saw a total of tvvo
wagonloads of unpicked cotton,” said
he. “I have never seen anything like
it on the first of October. The fields
are clean and there are no more bolls
to open.”
Mr. Hudson expressed the contin
ued belief, however, that Sumter
county’s crop would total between
15,000 and 16,000 bales.

HOPE IS REVIVED
FOR IRISH PEACE
DeValera’s Acceptance Os Invi

LONDON, Oct. 1 (By Associated

' with hope that a settlement of the
Irish problem would follow the meet

and representatives of Sinn Fein Ire
land in this city October 11. The
prompt reply from Eamonn de Va
lera, accepting Premier Lloyd

Seemed to promise that out of the
conference would come an agreem -i*t
that would solve the problem.
In a brief, business-like* message,
Valera last evening informed Lloyd
George of his acceptance pre
mier’s invitation for a conference.
The reply raised no to
the status of the Sinn Fem delegates,
and np further correspomlence be

er is expected.
“We received your letter ,>f invi
tation to a conference in Rondon Oc
tober I 1, with a view to ascertaining 1
how the association Ireland with
the community- of n<ions known as
the British empire may best be re
conciled with Irish national aspira-l
lions,” said in his reply.
“Our respect K-e positions have!
been stated and understood and we!
agree that con ference, not corres-!
pondence. is the most practical and'
hopeful way to' an understanding.
“Wg accept the invitation. Our
delegates will meet you in London
on t’ e date mentioned and explore
every possibility of a settelement by
