Mr. J. M. Martin,
Fort Valley, Ga.,
Dear Mr. Martin:
We have been from Fert Valley
three weeks now and have covered
quite a good dfeal of territory since
1 saving.
On reaching Birmingham, we were
met by Shriners headed by the May¬
or who delivered to Mr. Cutts, now
Deputy Imperial Potentate, the key
to the city. We only had about an
hour there, and for that reason we
could not take full possession but
kept the key. We peached Kansas
City Sunday afternoon and were met
hy Shriners there who had automo¬
biles and gave us a ride over the
city. There were about one hundred
and twenty-five in our party, and all
had a dandy good time. The next stop
we made was at Denver, where we
were met by Shriners, their band and
patrol. We were escorted to their
temple where a luncheon had been
prepared, and were then given an au¬
tomobile ride over the city. Leaving
Denver that afternoon we reached
Colorado Springs that afternoon in
time to take a trip to Manitou and
Pikes Peak via cog R. R. before night,
m time to play in the snow for a
short while, Your humble servant had
enough of the snow that evening,
came down and went to hotel. Some
of our party spent the night up there
and reported next morning that four
inches of snow fell that night. The
next day we visited the Garden of the
Gods, Cheyenne Pass, the Cave of
the Winds, and other points of Wg
U y*st. Th# next stop we made was
gt Salt Lake City. We were met at
the depot by Shriners and carried
to the Morn)on Tabernacle where we
were regaled by a most enjoyable
Oj’gan recital, There is a fr« organ
re<ut«l in this Tabernacle every day
between 12 o’clock noon and 1 P. M.
But as we did not reach the city un¬
til about two P. M. a special pro
gramme was arranged for us. The
'Tabernacle is an immense building
and will seat several thousand people,
It is aval shaped, about three hundred
pnd fifty feet long, and about one
hundren feet wide. The roof shaped
lik# a beehive, (oval) and the accous
tics perfect. One setting at the
vreme end of the building can hear
distinctly a watch tick at the other
end. We were shown the Temple from
the \>utside as no Gentiles are allow¬
ed in the Temple. This is an immense
building costing five million dollars.
We were taken in charge by Shriners
after the concert and given automo¬
bile rides over the city and shown
Piaqy interesting planes, a^eng them
the house where Brigham Young tor
pierly kept bis wives, and the pal
see where his favorite wife
Several of his wives were buried in
the yard of his residence. Salt Lake
City is the most interesting place
and it would take some time to tel)
you all that we saw there,
Leaving this city ip the afternoon
of 00 ? second day there we saw from
the train the Great Salt Lake, an tm
p-.ense body of water and very salty
From every five gallons of water,
you get one of salt, The next stop

SERVE ULTIMATUM
ON THE GERMANS
NOTICE GIVEN THAT GERMANY
MUST DELIVER 2,000,000 TONS
OF COAL EACH MONTH
DEMANDS FOR COAL REDUCED
Drastic Measures Will Be Taken If
Germany Refuses—France De¬
manding Full Enforcement
Spa, Belgium.—The allies served an
ultimatum upon the German delegation
to the conference here that the Ger¬
mans must agree by three o’clock, July
13, to deliver to the allies two mil
Uou tons of coal monthly.
the Germans were informed that the
• Hies will take measures to enforce
the terms of the Versailles treaty.
Thus, the negotiations with the Ger¬
mans have reached another tense point,
The spirit of conciliation adopted by
both sides has prevented a break thus
far, but the allies found it was neces
vary to issue this ultimatum tor ear
rying out the treaty, which would en
title them to a greater amount of coal
than now Is demanded.
The question of coal was the, sub¬
ject of controversy during a throe-hour
session.
The allies began by fisting upon
a monthly delivfty of ..,* 00,000 tons,
The Germans offered 1,100,000 tone
and the alles reduced their demand
to two million.
Doctor Simons, the German foreign
minister, represented that, being the
very foundation of the industrial life
of Germany, every ton that Germany
sent to the allies meant that much less
production. He said:
“My contention is in European In
terests as much as in the interest
of Germany, because our payments to
you are conditioned upon our indus
trial production. You want your
money. We want you to have it, but
how cap we pay large sums if you
take away huge quantities of coal’’’
The German foreign ministers of
tered then to increase the deliveries
of coal from 1,100,000 tons to 1,400,
000 within si* mouths, and to 1700,
000 tons within a year, This could
only be done, he said. If the allios
made better food conditions possible
for the miners and contributed raw
materials to build houses for more
miners.

cussion. informed Chancellor Fehren

GERMANS PRESENT
REPARATION PUNS
GERMANS 8PECIFY THAT FINAL
AGREEMENT ON FUEL WILL
MODIFY PROPOSALS
UAL QUESTION DISCUSSED
Dr. Simona Makes Plea for Open Dis¬
cussions by Both Parties, Instead
of One-Sided Discussions
Spa, Belgium.—After some hesita¬
tion, due to the coal question, the Ger¬
man delegates produced their plan
showing how Germany would deal
with reparations, but they specified
that the decision reached regarding
coal would modify their proposals.
The allied experts have declared
they did not consider that even the
figures submitted by the Germans
would justify modifications of the pro¬
tocol signed July 9, but admitted the
justice of the German experts’ plea on
two points, first, relieving Germany
of the obligation of reporting to the
reparations commission regarding the
distribution of coal within Germany,
and, second, approving the proposal to
increase the output by improving the
food and welfare of the miners and
suggesting that the German and allied
governments discuss means to this
end. *
T)>e plenary session of the confer¬
ence began at 5:30 o’clock, with Lord
Curzon representing Great Britain in¬
stead of Premier . Lloyd-George, who
was confined to his room all day with
a cold. The conference immedately
took up the coal question, the experte
having failed to come to an agree
ment. |
Dr. Simons, at the outset of the cen-! sea- J
sion, remarked that coal was the
tral point of the whole economic life j
of Germany.
Dr Simons rejoined that the _ Gerj _
_
-
nlan delegation had prepared plans,
that nil,st be studied as a whole |
The German delegation retired toj
reconsider the matter, and on the re
sumption of the session the foreign
secretary declared that since the final
decision regarding coal could not be
taken at once, the German delegation
had decided to hand over the plane
as Prepared, hut he added that the
Spa conference had for its object the
substitution of an open discussion by
th e allied and German delegates foi
one-sided decisions on various ques
tlons.

COTTON BLISTER JOINS
WITH BOLL WEEVIL
Porto Rican Mite, Neweit Cotton
Pest, On Way To United States,
WASHINGTON.—Look out for
the running mate of the cotton boll
weevil—the Porto Rican cotton blis¬
ter mite. He is on his way here now,
according to the United States de¬
partment of agriculture,' and every
precaution must be taken to head
him off.
Further discussing this parasite
the department said: • i Announce¬
ment of a public hearing to be held
in Washington June 29 to consider
the advisability of prohibiting the
importation of cotton seed and seed
cotton because of the prevalence of
the cotton blister mite has been made
by the department. The question of
restricting the importation of cotton
lint from the territory for the same
reasons will also be considered.
“This hearing will be held in
Washington, June 29. Any person in¬
terested in the proposed quarantine
may appear and be heard.
“Cotton blister mite is a dange¬
rous insect not known to occur with¬
in the United States. Information,
I however, has come to the department
that the insect is now present in Por
j j to Rico. Officials are apprehensive
therefore( that it may find its way
j n £ 0 j.j, e United States and menace
the cotton crop here, Additional
grounds for the quarantine exist in
a eo tton boll disease is
[ also present in Porto Rico at this
’ time which might be introduced into
the United States and prove even
m ore dangerous.
“The enforcement of the proposed
quarantine will make it !
f or t h e seed produced in the island
either to be exported to foreign
countries or to be milled or other-1
wise utilized the Quarantine here. It is not purposed the J j
under to prevent
importation of ginned cotton and
cottonseed cake, meal and oil
the island under safeguards.”

retary-manager, the Carrollton Civ¬
ic Club, and individual Carrollto
nians have been preparing for more
than a month to give the editors a . *
hearty reception and a big sample
of what Mr. Comer has denominated
Oarrolltonian “Peptomism.” Mr.
Comer explains the word “pepto
mist” thusly: “a pessimist says it
CAN’T be done; an optimist says it
CAN be done; a ‘peptomist' GOES
and DOES it.” The members of the ;
Carroll County Trade Board are
