TINE BLUFF
 OGRESS RosPERITY
THAT BRITISH REPORT.

It is all awful arraignment of Ger many that is presented in a report made by Viscount Bryce, formerly British ambassador to the United States, and other Englishmen of equal high rank who have "investi- rated" charges of atrocities against German soldiers in Belgium. Some of the crimes charged are of such lcvclting nature that the blood of the rnn who reads and believes must 'hcil. But
 1t must be remembered that MT. Bryce and his colleagues on the commission did not personally ob- serve these alleged atrocities; their report is based upon testimony given by others.
 Americans should also consider that Irwin Cobb, Former senator '3everidge, Will Payne and other American war correspondents in the field declare they did not find 'svi- denco of such awful crimes as have been charged They, too, heard re- Iorts, but, like good American news paper men, they investigated. These Investigations, they report, invaria- hly proved the rumors were unfound- cd. In isolated instances it was found that there was some founda- 4tion for a report. but that there was great exaggeration.
 { Considering the millions of sol- diers in Belgium, it is not unlikely i hat some shameful acts have been committed; but considering, too, how flew of these acts occurred, the un- g,iased must concede that the Ger mans have exhibited good discipline and restraint.
 This is not a, defense of the Ger mans. All of the things charged by discount Bryce's commission may Gaaye occurred. This is only decla- ration that we prefer to accept as true the testimony of such news paper men as Cob and Beveridge .,c that of prejudiced, panic-stricken' unfortunate people.
 But if the Englishmen believe the Germans did commit the atrocities charged, Lord Kitchener ought to have trouble in keeping men out of sEe British army.

It does appear, however, that for a nation which is so far superior to all other nations; which is so abso- lutcly independent of all other na- tions, as to food supplies, war munl- lions or other necessities; which is so steadily and so overwhelmingly and so regularly defeating the armies of it's enemies, Germany is doing a
 mighty lot of shouting for "fair play.

anu Ill Market UIlO EnVIfe Out-
put at 1925 a Bushel.
Among the prominent men who at
tended the Terrell County Fair from
neigh boring counties was Mr.. w. R.
Terry, of Randolph. Mr.. Terry was
we'll pleased with the exhibits of farm
products and the progress Terrell
county is making in the plan of di-
versified crops. In a conversation
with a News representative he men
toned the invasion of the boil wee
vii into this section and the herculean
task before the farmers in trying to
make a crop of cotton in spite of the
weevil. He said he did not propose
to fight the boil weevil by raising cot
ton, but that he would fight him by
raising peanuts as money crop, and
let the other fellow raise the cotton.
Last year Mr.. Terry raised 1000
bushels of peanuts, for which he
found ready sale at $1.25 per bushel.
This year he raised 5000 bushels on
$40 acres, and expects to find ready
sale for them at $1.25, which will
bring him in aggregate $4,000, or
$4,000 less than 240 bales of cotton
at $50 a bale. Mr.. Terry says pea
nuts are less expensive to produce
than cotton, and are surer crop
without boil weevil conditions and
with the presence of the weevil men
ace there is no comparison at all be-
cause the weevil cannot hurt the pea
nut crop.
Mr.. Terry is not frightened by the
of the weevil because he
has learned to make farming protita-
BILE without raising cotton and this is
one sure way to fight the weevil.
