Hundreds in All Parts of Trade Territory Co-

In Commercial History of Year
Hundreds of visitors in Americus today to attend the
grand final event in the Ameriaus merchants pay up and trade ulp
campaign this afternoon at 3 o’clock, will leave thousands of dol
lars in tills of business houses here,” said Henry P. Everett, secre
tary of the Americus and Sumter County Chamber of Commerce,
at noon today.
' Continuing, Secretary Everett characterized the campaign as
the most successful trade promotion and collection effort ever
attempted here. “Everybody apparently joined in the spirit of the
campaign from the very beginning,’’ said Secretary Everett. “1
have watched the campaign closely since its inauguration, and have
talked constantly with the participating merchants, and as a re
sult of these conversations, I feel justified in asserting that no less
than a quarter of a million dollars in cash transactions have been
registered among the participating merchants since the carr.lpaign
was inaugurated. Every merchant participating in the campaign
bas expressed to me his satisfaction with the results attained,
“Hundreds of old accounts, many of which had been upon
the books of merchants a long time, have been liquidated during
this campaign; new money has thus been poured into the channels
of trade and dollars hoarded away out of the arteries of com
merce have been put to work again with resultant 'prosperity to
the whole community. One especially pleasing feature of the
campaign, as 1 view the situation, is the new business drawn to
Americus and the participating merchants, as a result of this pay
up and trade up movement and the money spent in its promotion,
I believe, should be considered among the best investments ever

ANOTHER CONFERENCE
GERMAN CHAOS
PROHIBITION
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Diplomacy is too tricky to justi
fy very 'bright hopes concerning,
the latest plan for settling Eu
rope’s troubles.
London asked Washington if the
latter would would join in an in
quiry by fifianbiul experts from al)
the leading countries to decide how
niuch Germany could pay.
Secretary Hughes answered
yes.
In fact, such an inquiry was
what Hughes proposed some time
ago, though the scheme he outlined
was not quite the same as the one
suggested.
WHAT FRANCE
OWES
I But the secretary iof state, in
telling England “yes,” made it
plain that what France owes to
the United States mustn’t be
brought into any discussion of the
amount Germany’s able to pay tc
France. In other words, the Unit
ed States wants her money from
France anway.
SOME FINE
POINTS.
France agrees, after a fashion,
and yet not wholly. That is tc
say, Premier Poincare declares
France will oppose any reduction
in the German indemnity unless
France’s debts are correspondingly
I reduced. It’s France’s old attempt
i to get out of paying her debt to
the United States; put in a new
way.
The French, insist also that the
Reparations Commission shall ap
point the financial experts and that
the commission .hall nave the right
to turn down the experts’ report.
This mbans th: t the experts may
be all hand-picked by Franc?. Fur
ther more their work may go for
nothing after it’s done.
AS TO THE
SENATE.
Then again, the Reparations
Commission was created by the
Treaty of Versailles. Placing the
proposed inquiry primarily in the
commission’s hands means this
treaty''s recognition. Will the
United States senate stand for
that? And if not, can the presi
. dent place the United States in th?
I position of aiding the inquiry, re
.ga rd less of the senate? It’s im
) possible to answer either of these
| questions offhand.
I TOO MANY
JOKERS
Germany’s undestood to be fav
i orable to the inquiry, though none
i too hopeful of its uccess. Bc-1-
I gium and Italy are friendly to the
plan, too. That a settlement is

Governor J. C. Walton, on trial be

attending to personal business.

the impeachment casa-4s unfavor
able to him an appeal will be taken

They deelined to reveal detail's
of their contemplated action, but
intimated that the October 2 spe

the election officials and voters
ignored the governor’s order* to
keep the polls closed, would in some
way be made the basis of the ap
