Monsieur Loucheur, ablest finan
cier mind in France, tells Americans
“You must put out your minds all
idea of getting the money that
France owes you. Payment is im
possible, Consider the stupendous
sum Franee owes you.”
The amount that France owes us
is a little over four billion dollars.
Loucheur may be right, payment
may be impossible.
But this puzzles you. Poincare,
consenting to a conference, says
there musn’t be any suggestion of
cutting down the amount he thinks
Germany should pay. That amount
is thirty billions.
If France can't pay “the stupen
ous sum” of four billions, how can
Germany pay more than seven times
as much? Will the world confer
ence answer that question?
Ordinary arithmetic won’t answer.
Cotton sold off a little, but it is
still above 30, and if you want it
you might as well buy it now. It is
going to be a scarce commodity.
Fortunately, the cotton growers
will get a somewhat better price,
not because hey deserve it, as they
do, but because the crop is small.
Chickens lay more eggs when you
light the coop at night, prolonging
the period of siting. Everybody
knows that. Now it m shown that
prolonging the day by electric light
will make plants increase their
growth. ; - —•

It seems we are getting poorer,
especially the richest among us. Only
one man in the United States this
year pays tax on income of five mil
lion dollars. The Government does
n’t tell who that one is. Income tax
reports are kept secret. The tax
that * man pays on a small home is
public property.
i- - ■
Only twenty-one Americans re
ported incomes of one million dol
lars or more,
In 1920 seventy rejported incomes
of a million. The solitary income 1 of
five millions represents five pec cent
on one hundred million dollars. Sev
eral Americans would laugh if you
offered them a hundred million for
everything they own. This doesn’t
mean illegal or criminal evasion of
income tax. The laws are drawn so
that they reach small men, do-tors
lawyers, moderate sized b isiness
men. They don’t reach the really
great fortunes. Everybody knows
that several great fortunes, Henry
Ford’s John D. Rockefeller’s, and
two or three others are worth many
times one hundred million do'lars.
But the money is in corporations.
The owners of tJie corporations do
not draw the money out. They re
nivest it, a good thing when it is re
invested in labor giving enterprises,
not so good when invested in b.tnds
that pay no tax whatever.
If the election of anybody fcr
president, would hurt your bu.vness
or your feelings, '“Lloyd’s” of Eng
land will insure you against that
election. One concern paid down
$38,000 and Lloyd’s agreed to pay
$400,000 in case of Ford’s election—
issuing a policy, which is a good way
of disguising a bet.
The question is: Can Ford, by any
chance, stampede the Democratic
convention? Political leaders believe
that if Ford had a regular nomina
tion it would be impossible to beat
him. If the Democrats believe it
earnestly in 1924, and if Ford had
somebody that could produce a
“Cross of Gold” speech for him,
stampeding the convention r.ught
not be difficult. What politicians
want, first of all, is to win.

' INDICTED FEDER
AL GRAND JURY
%
Atlanta, Ga.—Springing a sur
prise on both prosecution and de
fense by indicting the government’s
star witness in the case, the federal
grand jury Friday afternoon return
ed an indictment charging eor.spir
acy against Sheriff E. S. Gainer,
Deputy Sheriffs Howard Garner and
J. M. Bernard, of Gwinnett county,
and A. L. (“Red") Tosh, convicted
liquor runner, who appeared before
the grand jury as principal witness
aganist the Gwinnett officers, only
to find himself jointly indicted when
the jury’s report was returned.
This is the second time Sheriff
Garner and his tow deputies have
been indicted on the same conspiracy
charge*, the previous indictment hav
ing been thrown out of court on de
murrer entered by defense counsel
before Judge Samuel H, Sibley. How
ever, the first indictment, returned
at the March term of court, included
two other deputies, L. S. Wages and
Lum Brown, neither of whom were
mentioned in Friday’s action.
On motion of Attorney Len B.
Guillebeau, who was in court when
the indictment was returned by the
grand jury, Judge Sibley ruled that
Sheriff Garner and Deputies Garner
and Bernard could remain at liberty
under the bonds made when the first
indictment was found.
Attorney Guillebeau stated that
his clients denied the charges and
that they expect to be ready for trial
when the case is called.
Due to the fact that Tosh is now
serving a sentence imposed after he
was captured at Fernandina, Fla.,
while in the possession of a cargo of
liquor, no immediate action is neces
sary to assure his appearance at
trial. He was removed from Florida
to Atlanta to appear as a witness is
the case.
JUDGE L. C. RUSSELL
MAKES ADDRESS
Winder; Ga.—Judge LwWs C.
Russell, of this city, under the aus
pices of the laymen of the Athens
Presbytery, held a service at Thya
tyra church, near Jefferson, Sun
day afternoon. Judge Russell took
for his subject the “Origin and
Problem of Authority.” He ex
plained the origin of authority, and
discussed in an able manner the
problems now confronting not only
the people of eGorgia but of the
whole wrold, in the matter of law
and order.
In his discussion of the. origin of
authority, he traced it back through
the scriptures to God, himself, and
clearly showed that all authority
originated from a divine source.
Judge Russell also discussed the
world-wide disregard of law and the
problems as to how to change pres
ent lawless conditions largely pre
vailing throughout the world.
One of his auditors, at the conclu
sion of the judge’s remarks said
that he never knew before that he
was “a good preacher as well as a
good lawyer.”
Judge Russell makes it a rule to
open his court with prayer offered
by himself from the bench. <

Over in Europe they are tearing
things to pieces. Here we are build
ing up. Happy we.
With a loaf of bread in Germany
costing five billion marks—which
would have been $1,250,000,000 in
the old days—the intellectual Allies
are beginning to set aside all ques

dering whether they can hold Ger
many together and prevent the ap
pearance of another and worse “Rus

The learned Harvard Professor
Shaler in his book on the mob de
clares that even a gathering of cler
gymen by certain influences could
be turned into a murderous lynching
mob. Our animal ancestors are still
alive in the brains that we inherit
from them.
The St. Louis Star renders great
service to the country in its exposure
of a medical diploma mill, turning
loose upon the country an army of
ignorant, dangerous men equipped
with “diplomas” authorizing them to
practice medicine and destroy life.
Medical men who have been con
tent to sit on State Boards, confin
ing their activities to attacks on oh
er schools of healing, never finding
ime to investigate their own house
and put it in order, ought also to be
interested in the work that htp St.
Louis Star has done for them.

rSJSCHERS’ MEETING
AT FIRST BAPTIST
%
The teachers and.officers of the
First Baptist Sunday school, with
woikers from Winder, Duluth and
Norcross, had a very interesting
meeting Friday, November 2.
The subject for the evening dis
cussion was, “The Value of a Teach
ers’ Meeting.” Rev. Dodd, of Win
der, led the discussion with a very
interesting -and helpful address. Fol
lowing Rev. Reid gave some prac
tical suggestions on conducting a
teachers’ meeting. The regular pro
gram was then concluded with re
sponses from the various superinten
dents and workers present.
Another interesting feature of the
evening was the sandwiches and
punch served in the Sunday school
annex, which brought all together
for better acquaintance and a real
social hour.
It is anticipated that there will be
other meetings of this kind and
hoped that this is only the begin
ning of such meetings where work

KILLS CAPTAIN
W. S. COBDRN
( _____
Atlanta, Ga., November 6.—Wil
liam. S. Coburn, attorney for the
Simmons faction of the Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan. and prominent
figure in a series of sensational
events involving that organization,
was shot four times and almost in
stantly killed while he sat in his of
fice in the Atlanta Trust company
building at 4 o’clock Monday after
noon by Philip E. Fox, publicity rep
resentative for the imperial palace
and editor of “The Nighthawk,” of
ficial organ of the Evans faction.
After hurling his revolver to the
floor of the attorney's office, Fox
ran to the floor below, where he was
caught by George W. Allen, insur
ance man, and held until Officer C.
0. Cochran arrived from his beat on
the' street below to take him in cus
tody.
According to Officer Cochran, Fox
declared that he was glad Coburn
was dead. “I mayjhang for this, but
he was planning to ruin me, and I
had just as soon be hanged as for
him to have ruined me,”
Working With city detectives, at
tached bf Solicitor Boykin’s office,
late Monday night completed a pre
liminary investigation of the shoot
ing and announced that the Fulton
county grand jury Tuesday will he
asked to indict Fox on a charge of
murder.
Women Witness Shooting.
Officers closely questioned Mrs.
M A. Holbrook, of 326 Stewarc ave
nue, stenographer for Coburn, and
Mrs.* Oscar Heyman, of Cleveland,
Ohio, a client of Coburn, who were
eye witnesses to the shooting.
“Fox came to Mr. Coburn’s office
shortly before 4 o’clock and fsnntl
Mr Coburn engaged in a telephony
conversation,” Mrs. Holbrook said
“\V. T. Rogers, who I think is <*on
nected with the office of Henry J.
Norton, head of Atlanta Klan No. 1,
was sitting by Mr. Coburn’s desk.
After waiting a hear minutes, Fox
arose and left th* office, stating as
he did so that h« would return in
'-fttemt’an *Wnr, whwt heoould talk
business with Mr.- Coburn privately.
“He had just had dime to go a
short distance down the hall and
come back when he reentered the of
fice, and, without a word, began fir
ing at Mr. Coburn, who sat at his
desk.
“I was so excited I didn’t look
aTound until the firing ceased. There
were four Or five shots fired. Mr.
Coburn screamed after each shot.
After the last shot was fired, Fox
left the office, throwing his gun to
the floor as he passed through the
door.
“When I looked at Mr. Coburn he
was lying on the floor, screaming,
and blood was spuriing from a
wound in his face. Mrs. Heyman
and myself ran down the hall to the
office of the Fulton Finance com
pany.”
Born in Savannah.
Captain William S. Coburn was
born in Savannah in 1870 and after
graduating from the Savannah pub
lic schools became connected with
the old Southwestern railway, re
maining in the railway business for
a number of years, and acquiring a
knowledge of law through experi
ence with railroad cases. He was
married to Miss Ida Mallory, who
survives him, in 1891. Two children,
Miss Zoe Coburn, twenty-three, and
William S. Cobum, Jr., were born in
Savannah. In 1906 Captain Coburn
moved to Atlanta and his youngest
child, Miss Mary Coburn, thirteen,
was born here.
Captain Coburn won his military
title by service in the national guard
and went to the Mexican border as a
captain, serving there through 1916
and 1917 until Camp Wheeler was
established in Macon. He was sta
tioned there for more than a year
and finally went overseas early in
he fall of 1918. His outfit was
rushed into action during the final
big drive of the allies and he was
wounded twice in action, being once
reported dead, before the armistice
was signed.
Upon his return from France and
resignation of his commission in the
regular army, Captain Coburn en
gaged in the practice of law here and
entered actively into politics. He
opposed John A. Boykin for solicitor
general in 1920, but was defeated.
Joins the Klan.
It was some time after his return
from France that he became con
nected with the Ku Klux Klan, as
attorney and later as an organizer
under Edward Young Clarke, then
head of the propagation department
of the klan. He was assigned in the
latter part of 1921 as grand dragon
of the Pacific coast region and
moved with his family to Los An
geles to take up that work, later re
turning to Atlanta.

One-Time Nuisance Has Becon.c
Veritable Gold Mine as Shown in
By-Products Manufactured.
Atlanta, Ga., November 5. —At-
present the value of product* ob
tained from cotton seed In this coun
try is in excess of $150,000,000 an
nually, according to officials of the
Georgia department of agriculture.
The one-time nuisance has become a
veritable gold mine of enormous im
portance in the prosperity of the cot
ton states and of wide diversity in
its uses.
The manufactured articles -that
trace their source back to cotton
seed include many of the necessities
and comforts of modern life. Mat
tresses are stuffer with cotton seed
linters. Eggs are fried in hydro
genated cotton seed oil or other sub
stitutes* derived from the seed.
Dishes and soiled napkins are
cleaned with soap probably contain
ing cotton seed oil as an ingredient,
and the sink and kitchen floor are
brightened and rubbed up with
washing compound, a cotton seed
derivative. The noonday Juncheon
may include canned tuna-fish or
sardines which have been packed in
cotton seed oil.
The lady of the house uses a cel
luloid comb made of a combination
of nitrated cotton linters and cam
phor. She may garb herself com
pletely in garments of artificial silk
made from nitrated cotton linters.
If it is house painting time she may
write a note to the painter on paper
made from cotton seed linters. The
chances are the roof will be painted
with a residue derived, after many
intermediate steps, from cotton
seed.
Cushions for Automobiles.
Automobiles are cushioned with
artificial leather made by coating
cotton fabric with a mixture of
tor oil and nitrated cotton linters.
A detour in the road may mean that
the highway is being repairei
through the aid of dynamite, made
through nitrated glycerin which in
turn is a by-product obtained when
soap is made from such vegetable
oils as cotton seed oil.
The roast beef or the juicy steak
of the evening meal may come from
an animal fattened on cotton seed
hulls and meal. The French fried
potatoes may have been fried in cot
ton seed cooking oil and the salad
may be garnished with a dressing
made from cotton seed salad oil.
In fact, thanks to chemistry, the
entire day may be linked with ac
tivities in which cotton or cotton
seed derivatives play a part.
“The magnitude of the loss suf
fered by the south in the failure to
discover earlier the possibilities of
cotton seed can hardly be computed,”
said an official of the state agricul
tural department. ■ “It can be under
stood in a degree when it is consid
ered that the seed represents two
thirds of the cotton crop and the
cotton itself only one-third. Huge
piles of cotton seeds that rotted on
the ground or found their way into
the rivers and creeks to clog them
formed a problem that worried far
mers and ginners in the south sixty
years ago.”
NOTICE.
For a few days we will pav
$2.50 per hundred pounds
for cotton seed.

Cairo, Ga.—Suits will be entered

MANY PROBLEMS
CONFRONT US
SAYSS.C. BROWN
There are many problems con
fronting the American people and if
we all sit idly by and let things go as
they have been going there is no
telling what the end wil be. One of
the greatest problems and the most
vital problems is that of taxation.
The average person does not realize
the seriousness of the situation Our
politicians have been so interested
in getting office and satisfying their
own selfish desires that, they have
thrown on the people laws upon top
of laws that ought to be off the
statute books. The truth about is
there are so many laws until one
violates one or more laws before he
can turn around. The greatest aim
of our lawmakers has been to pass
measures to help their own selfish,
end and the people are havnig to
pay the bills and carry the burden
of taxation.
Today there are outstanding more
than twenty billion dollars worth of
non-taxable bonds, only a few be
ing partially taxed, owned by the
rich who pay absolutely no tax
whatever which throws the burden
bf taxation on the people who do
not own these bonds. About one
half the people in this country are
paying all the taxes and they are
the poorer classes and the very class
that need some kind of relief, and
the other half are going tax free
which class own the money and
should be made to pay certainly
their part of the expense to run the
government. Did you know that out
of every six days you work all the
money you make in one of these days
go to pay your taxes? This :s an
absolutely correct statement and if
ypu do not believe it I can prove it
to you. Just to think that ene has
to toil one day out of six to keep up
a bunch of people employed by our
Government is a shame and disgrace
to a civilized nation. Not only that
if the thing keeps going like H is and
has been going you will have to.
work tm> fays jm'j&mmkkp* ■»
until your whole time tnlfVftwiU
up working for a bunch of Govern
ment employees who ought to he out:
working just like «e ha**. k> work...
Did you know also that ene man in-,
twenty is on the pay roll of the Go.v
ernment? Just to think one marl
draws his earnings and keeps up his
family from the work of only nine
teen others; in other words, nine
teen men rae compelled t« pay a>
salary to one man and keep up his.- 1
family each year. If that man gets
two thousand dollars per annum, andi
this is a small- salary compared to<
many who are employed by the Gov
ernment, the other nineteen men are
having to go down in their pockets,
pnd pay to that man
and five dollars and twenty-six cents.
Do you not think this is a wrong per
pettrated on our citizens and there
ought to be a remedy somewhere for
it? 1 venture to say that the aver
age man in the state of Georgia will
not clear this amount of money in
a year’s time and in some sections of
the state where the boll weevil has
cleaned up the farmers they aie not
making this amoflnt of money in the
course of a year’s time. These are
soem of th eproblems conf-onting us
and others will be discussed later.
