WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house
ways and means committee will take
up the agricultural schedule Monday,
when 1t is expected that the committee
will find wide difference of opinion
as to the wisdom of admitting agricul-
tural products into this country free.
Farmers organizations are planning to
make vigorous protest against such a
policy, particularly the farmers in the
states along the Canadian border.
Latest indications are that the com
mittee favors revisions of tariff along
the lines of the bills passed at the last
session of the house. with the excep-
ton of sugar. 1t is understood that the
committee now favors a moderate -re-
duction on sugar.

fined $10.75 by Recorder n. R. Broyles
this morning for having over two gal

ditlons as soon as he learned of the

FARMER WHIPPED
BY NIGHT RIDERS
Masked Men Lay Lash on
John Shannon Near TiIton.
Warnings to Others.

DALTON, GA, Jan. 1S.-News which
has reached here from Tilton, in the
southern part of Whitfield county, is to
the effect that a band of night riders
operated in the southern part of this and
Murray counties one night this week
1t is said that the band went to the
home Of John Shannon and whipped him,
later visiting a number of others and
warning them to mend their ways OF liv-
ing.
1t is alleged that the band gave as the
reason for whipping Shannon that he had
not conducted himself becomngly in his
household
According to the information obtain
able, the band was made up of about
two score masked men.
Later information received from Tilton
is that Shannon has left Tilton, being
headed for Atlanta.
Billie Brown, miller living near Til
ton, was used by the band as a guide
to Shannon's house. Brown states that
the man was taken from home. given
about a hundred lashes, and given a min
ute to get out of pistol range.
Following the whipping. others were
visited, being told that the whipping
given shannon was only a sample of
the dose to be given them unless they
quickly mended their ways. shannon, it
IS stated, says he recognized certain
members Of the crowd
Ttlton is just over the Murray county
line, in Whitfield county, in the Oostan-
auia river valley. This is one of the best
farming sections in the two counties.

Foe sof Charter Act
Plan Substitute.

Definite plans are we'll under way to-
day to block the passage of the Hum
phrey resolution at the meeting of
council Monday by offering a substi-
tute resolution signed by majority Of
the members of council. The substi-
tute resolution provides for a charter
revision committee Of councilmen only.
Certain members of council are op-
posed especially to a committee with a
membership including private citizens
who favor real charter reforms, and
the anti Woodward element declares
that the mayor shall not be given the
appointment Of the committee.
BY resorting to the scheme of pre-
senting a resolution signed by a ma
jority of members, the moral courage
for a member to take an individual
stand is avoided. The plan virtually
is a caucus. 1t will forestall any de-
bate.
According to the best information, a
majority of the members of council
had not agreed to sign such a resolu-
ton today. Leaders of the opponents
to charter reforms said they felt abso-
lutely confident that the Humphrey
resolution would be defeated. however.
In their efforts to line up councilmen
in opposition to the Humphrey reso-
luton, which provides for a commit
tee of five councilmen and ten citi-
zens to recommend a new charter.
prominent board members are active.
While few of the councilmen will adj
mt that they are opposed to revision
of the old charter the iqSIie hoe NOV
rowed down to a fight between re-
forms and those who would maintain
the old system. No one expects coun
ell to make any radical reforms.
Chairman Humphrey has agreed to
Withdraw the paragraph of his resolu-
ton which pledges council to support
the new charter to be recommended by
ms committee. He said today he be-
ueFed MS resolution would be adopted.
