Dec. 6.—That rambunctious Rcpubli; an.-, rejoic ing over th" ’■•’ tv majority in ‘he recent election, may be “feeling their oats” a bit too much is sug gested by Senator Arthur Canpcr of Kansas, himself a Republican who carried Kan-.is by the largest ever given a candidate west of the Mississippi river. “The result of the election,” says Capper, “was a repudiation of destructive and radical proposals. But it was not a mandate to sweep liberalism out of the Republican party. “A swelled head is as dangerous in a political party as it is in an individual. It would be deplorable if the Republican party should let its recent victory ‘go to its head D ” Capper's warning came the day after the Republican caucus had voted to throw La Follette, Ladd, Frazier and Brookhart Sut of the party .and to withhold from them any future com,‘.nittce assign ments. And it forcast the probable op position to such disciplining of oth er liberals within the party, such as Norris, Howell, Borah, Couzens, K'iram Johnson anti perhaps Har rold.

O. P. doctrinaries. * * * Capper sees, what the old guard in the Senate does not recognize, that the recent election was more of a Coolidge endorsement than a Rep’ib ican endorsement. He holds that this is particular ly true of the result in the West, which cinched the election for the G. .0. P. The West, Capper main tains, did not turn reactionary or even conservative. If it had. h? himself would have been defeated. “It chose,” Capper says, “a course between ultra-radicalim and hard-boiled conservatism. It remains still steadfast in support of reasonable, moderate, sane and safe progressiveism.” And then he sounds a warning that, at this time, comes as a jar ring note on the ears of the cool - sure and jubilant old guard group: “The west,” he warns, “can get along without the Republican par ty, but the Republican party can not get ;.long without the west?’ A backstop for the famous Cool idge luck is an odd necklace worn of late by Mrs. Coolidge. Pendant from, the necklace are seven skill fully carved ivory-elephants. The superstitiously inclined say i that more than mere coincidence is behind the fact that she wore the necklace at the final game of the world series, which Washington won, and on election day when I Cal’s plurality broke all records. * » » Shortly before the illness and operation which caused his death, Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace completed the writing of his memoirs. Official Washington is wonder ing just how much of the details of the battle that raged inside the Harding cabinet between Wallace and some of his fellow cabinet members will be disclosed. One of the bitterest contests in any recent cabinet raged between Wallace and former Secretary of Inferior Fall. Fall was fighting for the transfer, to his department, of the nation’s immense forest re serves. Wallace’s own story of the in side maneuverings in that battle would be especially illuminating. Scarcely second in interest to this would be the inside story ofi the contest betwene himself and Secretary Hoover over the Bureau of Markets which Hoover wanted to take over. Wallacifs outspoken champion ship of means and measures ( not sponsored by his administration fellows provoked many "of the warmest cabinet meetings of re cent years. LAST SURVIVOR OF LIGHT BRIGADE DIES CEDA RRAPIDS. Mich., Dec. 8. Ellis H. Cutting, believed to have been the last survivor of the Light Brigade on its charge at the Bat tle of Balaklava during the Crim ean war, died here Sunday after being stricken with a paralytic stroke, the second during the past month. He was 87 years old. Mr. Cutting joined the British army when he was 16 years old and took part in many campaigns. He often told the story of how he was standing close to Lord Raglan when the order was issued that sent Light Brigade into the “Valley of Death.” Occasionally he intimat ed he possessed information which might clear up a disputed point in history regarding the fatal or der. but never made it public. After many years as a railroad engineer, Mr. Cutting was auto matically retired and lived with his two daughters.

B.—The South no longer crowns Cotton. The estimated area of all farm crops in the South, according to late figures received at the Georgia Department of Agriculture, is in the neighbor hood of 130,250,006 Acres which is over 35 per cent of t'.e total crop area of the United States. Out of this acreage only about one-fourth of the farming area in the South is devoted to cotton. Listen to this: The South produces about one third of the corn crop of the Uni ted’ States and the acreage in corn in 1922 was 11,500,000 more than was planted in cotton. The total area in the South of three principal grain crops, corn, wheat and oats is approximately 63,250,300 a ires, compared with 65,000.0000 in cot ton. In addition to the staple farm crops, the South annually produces for shipment to the North and in addition to what it retains for local consumption, about 509.000 carloads of winter and spring vege tables, berries, fruit.- and cotton seed products. Southern watermelons and canta loupes are also an important crop in many sections of the South. Crop diversification, in fa:t, has revo lutionized things agriculturally and cotton is not crowned any more. (1 BOPROWER dIIGHT IH MACON (Continued from Page One.) drunkenness. At the trial in the police court at Macon Saturday, it was shown, that Jones when arrested for being drunk had just tried to borrow an other gun. The two officers who made the case remembered that several guns bad been stolen in this manner from Macon homes and they told the judge as rnuci. The recorder bound Jones over to the city court on a charge of larceny where he will be tried today. If Jones is freed by the city court of Macon, he will be brought to Americus to be identified and if either Mrs. Stevens or Mrs. Burke says he is the man then he will have to settle things with Judge Harper in the city court here. Providing Jones is sentenced in Macon the authorities will have to wait until he has served his time there before bringing him here for trial. ROBBERS GF.T HIG HAUL IN CASH AND BONDS MILWAUKEE, Wls .

The former is com monly represented by the Porto Rico variety, while the Big Stem Jersey is a typical “dry” variety. Eleven years ago the Georgia Ex periment Station tested seventeen varieties of sweet potatoes, three of which were the “dry” kind and made a good record as far as yields were concerned; the second to the highest yield being made by a “dry” variety. During the past season the Ex periment Station has noted the relative yields of the Porto Rico xariety as compared with th ■ Big Stem Jersey, the habit, of gr iwth, and hds also compared the curing qualities of the two varieties. The yields of the two were: Porto Rico—27l bn, per acre; 8.4 per cent too small to sell. Big Stem Jersey—367 bu. per acre; 12.6 per cent t.i small to sell. The Jersey potato ran unifi rmly smaller in size, and a proportion ately larger number were too small to sell, while on ‘'he other hand the Porto Ricos had a much larger per centage of jumbos wh’.ih were also unsalable as number I’s. The num- r MONDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 8,4924 2, ber of bushels of number 1 potatoes was larger with the Jersey potatoes. When the two varieties were dug under similar conditions and stored in the curing house no appreciable differences were noted as to the rate of drying out and curing of the two varieties, when both were stor ed in the same room. We have found that the same conditions of storage as practiced in the curing house with the Porto Rico is also adaptable to the Jersey potato MAN IS FOUND DEAD. EVIDENCES OF FIGHT SAVANNAH, De.
