Socialist Member Author
Of Joint Resolution

WASHINGTON, Dec. D.-Representa-
tive Berger. the Socialist member of the
house. introduced a joint resolution to-
day TO terminate the extradition treaty
of 1857 between the United States and
Russia A
Mr.. Berger explained that injuries suf-
fered by citizens Of the United States
in Russia could not be rescued or avoid
ed merely by abrogation of the treaty OF
1ss2."
Although the treaty of 1887 specifi-
cally excerpts from extradition persons
charged with political offenses." said Mr..
Berger. 'the Russian government has re-
peatedly violated terms of this treaty
by charging grave civil crimes against
refugees whose actual offense has been
the advocacy OF free institutions In Rus
STA. and by striving in all possible ways
for the extradition of such refugees
The Russian government has for years
maintained in their country secret
agents and spies TO ferret out such refu-
gees and has furthermore constantly
sought to exercise undue influence upon
municipal. state and federal offices and
officials of the United States for the ap-
prehension and surrender of such refu-
gees"

TROUP FARMERS WILL
REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE
Government Expert Looks for
Heavy Decrease in Crop
of 1912
(special pispatch to The Journal)

Especial Dispatch to The Journa1)
LAGRANGE, Ga, Dec. A.-That farm
ers of Troup county next year will not
be prone to raise bumper crop of cot
ton, is the opinion expressed by L. c.
Davis. farm tland demonstrator for this
county under the supervision of the de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,
D. C.
II look for great reduction in the
cotton crop next year in this county"
said Mr.. Davis when asked for the pros
poets in 1912. %The low price and large
production of cotton this year has dis
Outraged great many of the farmers,
in fact. ALI of them are blue at this
time. There are not very many of them
who are cheerful except those who have
had the forethought to raise their pro-
visions IN addition to the cotton.
1T is surprising how many farmers
will argue that diversified farming is the
only profitable way of running any farm
and turn right around and raise cotton
on. almost every available inch of farm
land they have continued Mr.. Davis.
I'm my experience both as farmer and
in connection with this work l have
found that almost any farmer will agree
that diversified farming is the only
profitable farming method. Watch him,
though, when he plants his crops and
see how many other crops he will plant
other than cotton l venture the guess
that not more than per cent of such
farmers will plant anything beside cot
ton.
This crop this year has so thorough
ly disheartened so many farmers that
l. believe we will have less cotton for
the next two or three years to come,
and have more of grains and other
farm products. Many people familiar
with farming say tina Jhe big cotton
crop this year was the best thing which
could happen to the southern farmer.
MY creed so far as farming is con-
cerned has always been raise your sup
plies at home and make cotton a surplus
CROP When the southern farmer adopts
that standard of farming he will be
on the right road to success, but not
before He will always be a failure
so long as he makes cotton his king
regardless of crops which he needs for
his own physical wellbeing and the
welfare of his stock as well as the fer
tlllty ana good conultlon OF MS ldrm
"Troup county this year raised more
cotton than at any period in its history.
The result is that all the farmers have
little encouragement for next years
work. WHO is to blame? In my opinion
IL is thes producer and he must learn to
be his own protector by diversifying his
crops. When he does he will no longer
be a pawn in the hands OF the bank
er, the supply merchant and every other
man who Ives off the sweat of his
brow"

MACON. Ca. Dec. 21.-Upon warrants
issued by j. L. Beck, of Stevens Pottery.
Baldwin county. j. c. Beck, his brother.
is in the county Jail here, charged with
kidnapping his wife. Mrs Ida Beck, and
bringing her to Macon on the early train
from that station.
The couple arrived early yesterday
morning and upon alighting from the
train sought boarding house on Sec
ond street, where they rented rooms for
the remainder of the week. No inter-
ferences resulted whatever. until last
night. shortly after 8 o'clock, constable
from Justice of the Peace Burnett's court
called at their rooms for the purpose of
placing them under arrest. He offered a
rap and the door was answered by ]. c.
Beck. ."Consider yourself under arrest, >
were the first words Of the officer. For
whatg' Beck Indignantly inquired. He
then stepped UP to light and read the
warrant to him and his sister-in-law.
Mrs. Beck, who stood by the fire crate
acting as if much perplexed.
After reading the warrant he demanded
them to gather up their belongings and
come with him. After much hesitation
and delay they finally departed on their
journey to thes county jail, where they
were locked up.
Several press representatives called at
their respective cells, but neither OF the
two would discuss any phase Of their
elopment Mrs. Beck only claimed that
she loved ~. c." better II an she did her
husband, and when he asked her to elope
with him she agreed.
Beck claimed they had only come to
Macon to do some shopping. However.
j. l.. Beck, his brother, declares this is
not the fact of the case. Just what ac-
ton will be taken in their cases yet re-
mains to be determined.
Both the Beck brothers are said to be
prominent people of Baldwin, and the re-
cent incident has been of much interest
in Macon as we'll as the community In
which they lived. Mrs. Beck is very
attractive blonde and is not over 20 years
old. Beck is. some years her senior.
