THE REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE
SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN
OVERRTIED.

When the Republican National Com
mittee decided that Senator Harding
should not take the stump in his own
behalf it acted wisely. Had he re-
mained on his front porch and
shook hands and said az few compli-
mentary things to the thousands
who would have called upon him dur
ing the campaigns, as the Committee
planned that he should, he would have
saved himself and his party and the
country from the disgraceful blund-
ers of his campaign speeches. Here
is one of his latest. -
In an address at Green Castle, In
diana Mr.. Harding said:
France has sent her spokesman
''to me informally, asking America,
Sin its new realization of the situa-
"tion, to lead the way for a new
association Of nations"
The newspapers of the country and
we think nearly everyone who read
Mr.. Harding's statement understood
from what he said that the French
government was willing to entertain
proposition for "a new association
of nations" The French government
promptly denied that any such prop
osition was ever made by France
and President Wilson called Mr.. Hard
ing to account for making the state
ment.
The New York World commenting
on this blunder says:
France has sent nobody to Sena-
tor Harding, either formally or in
formally. In reply to the Presidents
letter he now says that Il am sure
that my words could not be constru-
ed to say that the French Government
has sent anybody to me-" No other
construction was possible. That is
precisely what he said, and that is the
only Interpretation that could be Civ
en- to his statement at Greencastle.
Nor can there be the slightest doubt
that that was the impression he in
tended to convey to the American
people-that the French Government
had sent spokesmen to him asking
him to lead the way in establishing
a new associations of nations in place
of the League of Nations.
If responsible French statesman
publicly asserted that the United
States had sent spokesmen to him
in regard to great diplomatic ques-
ton, and then explained afterward
that what he had really done was to
talk to an American tourist who was
seated at a table in front of the Cafe
de la Paix he would be in much the
same predicament as Warren G. Hard
ing, who now AYERS that there had
come to me those who spoke senti-
ment which they represented to be
very manifest among the French peo-
ple' And on this flimsy and ridicu-
lous basis the Republican candidate
for President declared that France
has sent her spokesmen to me-
The plain fact is that Senator Hard
ing tried to trick the American people
and was trapped by President Will
son.

vised for that purpose than this Darky-

How can so many Americans re-
pudiate their allies, ignore what their
soldiers died for and attack their gov
ernment for winning the war?

from France with the Peace Treaty,

Of the Western Hemisphere command

HOKE SMITH WILL
OPPOSE ALA. MAN
Senior Senator Author
ICES Statement on His
Attitude

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-One Of
the most interesting political devel-
opments in long time is the issu-
ance of an authorized statement to
the effect that Senator Hoke Smith
may enter the presidential primary
in Georgia in order to prevent his
home state being captured by Sena-
tor Oscar W. Underwood, of Ala
bama. The apparent purpose of the
senior senator from Georgia is to
prevent the people of that state ex-
pressing themselves regarding the
treaty and his reservations to the
League of Nations pact. Involved
in the highly colored and artistically
arranged situation, is the deciding
ballot which Smith holds in the Dem
ocratic caucus, seeking to elect a
senate leader, a ballot which the
Georgian would transform into club
by means of which to drive the Ala
bama to cover.
Senator Smiths statement, author
lied by his secretary, follows:
'It is quite possible that the Presi-
Dental primary in Georgia will de-
velop in the next few days in an in
teresting manner. It can be accept
ed as absolutely certain that Sena-
tor Hoke Smith will not quietly sub
nit to a scheme of his political enc
mics to capture the state convention
with men who will endorse the
League of Nations without reserva-
tions. If the name of Senator I'm
derwood is placed upon the ticket by
the political enemies of Senator
Smith with this in view, Senator
Smith will then permit his own name
to be used in opposition to Senator
Underwood in the primary.
"The present relations of Senator
Underwood and Senator Smith are
very pleasant. Friends of both do
not believe that Senator Underwood
will lend himself to this scheme of
Senator Smiths enemies, but it is
accepted as certain if the chal-
lenge comes. Senator Smith will ac-
cept it and spend considerable time

Americus Tourists Praise Chipley Packing Plant
Say Sumter viii Support One With Big Profits
Certain Similar Plant
Would Pay Big Re-
turns in Sumter
BY w. S. KIRKPATRICK
Special Staff Representative.

CHIPLEY, FLA, Feb. lift
this kind of country can support
packing plant. Sumter county ought
to have no trouble making one go"
This was the statement today of
W. E. Mitchell, one of the Sumter
county tourists who are here to in
spect the Chipley Packing Plant
and learn what it has done for this
country. They arrived at Chipley
after a o'clock yesterday afternoon,
two or three hours late because of
two blowouts and two punctures to
Henry Johnson's car, but they were
able to make a complete inspection
of the plant during the evening, pi-
loted by Manager Moon, and last
night they spent a profitable hour
with S. A. Afford, vice president of
the packing plant, who told them of
the builders experience and what 1t
had done for the town and the en-
tire community.
Since the plant has begun opera.
ton two years ago local bank de-
posits have doubled, land values have
increased greatly and the whole COM
munity is knowing prosperity never
experienced in the days of all cotton
Hogs and peanuts in two years have
replaced cotton; only TOO bales
having come in here of the last crop
against a normal prior to the boil
weevil's day of $500 bales.
The packing house experience has
not been all easy or profitable, Mr.
Afford explained, due to the fact
that no one here before knew any
thing about packing houses and all
experience had to be bought. AS a
result, the plant for more than a
year was improperly managed, and
incurred some losses of spoiled meat,
etc. However, it is operating under
a skillful young manager now and is
adding some $4,000 of improve
ments, paid for largely out of the
earnings Of the plant, constituting
in actuality the company's first
dividend.
The plant is doing fine business,
markets its product at good prices
and is now looked upon by it's own
ers as "good thing"
Rain here last night and threaten
ing clouds today have unsettled the

FRANK REYNOLDS
HERE TOMORROW
FOR TWO TALKS
Public to Hear Him at
Courthouse at 2:3O on
Thursday Afternoon

Frank Reynolds, field agent. of the
Georgia Automobile Association, will
be In Americus tomorrow and will
deliver two addresses while here. At
/ o clock in the afternoon he will be
a guest at the weekly luncheon of
the Amerlcus Rotary Club, and at
ESQ o'clock will address a mass
meeting of Sumter county citizens
IN the Superior Court room of the
court house.
Mr.. Reynolds, who is one of the
best informed good roads authorities
IN Georgia. will explain to his hearers
the details of the proposed Georgia
good roads law which contemplates
the issuance of $40,000,000 in state
ponds, the money to be used in the
construction of roads throughout the
state. The interest and principal of
these bonds, under the plan proposed
by the Georgia Automobile Associa-
ton and which will be discussed by
Mr.. Reynolds, will be paid from
funds derived through taxes placed
on automobiles.
One of the outstanding advantages
OF the plan as worked out by the as
soclation is that it will make possible
the immediate completion of net
work of hard surfaced roads through
out Georgia. which will result in the
almost Immediate doubling of prop
erty values. In addition the con-
struction of these roads will afford
the surest and best as well as the
quickest means of communication
between all sections of the state thus
adding materially to the convenience
and despatch with which business
may be transacted, as well as afford
ing unusual facilities for pleasure in
leisure hours.
1t is also predicted that the build
ing of these roads will attract thou
sands of tourists annually who now
travel to Florida from the north and
west using other routes and traverse
ing other states and communities
which have already been made rich
through the trade of these annual
visitors.

Soldiers Home To
Continue Operating

ATLANTA Feb. 11.-There is no
real danger, in the opinion of Presi-
dent S. L. Olive, of the Georgia SEN
ate, that the Confederate Veterans
of the state are going to be- deprived
Of the use of the Soldiers Home by
conversion of that property, after
this year. into a school for the deaf
and dumb and removal of the pres
ent school from Cave Spring.
That proposition was advanced by
the Board of Trustees of the Cave
Spring institution a couple of weeks
ago, in a meeting held in Atlanta.
on the ground that the contract for
use of the Soldiers Home expires
this year and the property then re-
verts to the state. Plans were made
at the meeting of the school to go
before the next legislature and ask
that the home be made a deaf and
dumb school because the present in
stitution is wholly inadequate to
meet the demands upon it.
Immediately there has sprung up a
statement of resentment of any such
movement, and efforts are making to
have the local organization of Daugh-
ters of Confederacy to work on mem
bers of the legislature to prevent any
such use of the Soldiers Home prop
erty.
President Olive, making an inves-
tigation of the matter while here this
week, expressed the definite conclu-
sion yesterday evening that any such
attempt to convert the home will ut
terly and ANONYMOUSLY fail when it
IS made in the legislature.

DRY POLICY IS
LAIDOUTBYFORT
Federal Dry Agents Not
"Peeping Torns,''
He Says

ATLANTA, Feb. 11.-Major
James A. Fort, of Americus, Geor-
gia prohibition enforcement officer,
has issued a statement setting forth
the policy to be followed by repre-
sentatives of his office, and in which
he says that it will not be the policy
of the Federal authorities in enforc-
ing the prohibition laws to violate
the sanctity of mems homes.
What the Federal Government is
after and what it will attempt to
break up, states Major Fort, is the
moonshine liquor industry and the
blind tiger liquor traffic. 1t is going
after the men who make a business
of violating the prohibition law;
whose violations Of the law are
source of pecuniary gain and profit.
Major Fort says that judges, soli-
citors, sheriffs, ct al, ARE elected by
the votes of local constituents. They
can either enforce the law or let it
alone, so far as the Governors au-
thorlty goes. 1t is doubtful ques-
ton whether the Governor has au.
thority to remove a sheriff from of
flee under any circumstances. He
can bring to bear moral suasion. but
that is about the extent of his au-
thority.
Yesterday he held a conference
with Governor Dorsey with regard to
a policy of cooperation between the
Federal and State authorities. So
far as the Governors authority goes,
he, of course, is desirous of assisting
the Federal authorities, but in point
of fact, the constitution and laws of
Georgia give the chief executive
practically no authority as to law en-
forcement.
The Federal prohibition enforce
ment officers, Major Fort says, are
not going around like "Peeping
Toms" to spy on citizens through
their windows or cracks in the floors
to detect them drinking highballs or
toddies in the privacy of their homes.
The Federal law allows a man to
have whiskey in his possession on his
domestic premises for his personal
use if he came into possession of it
lawfully. The intent and purpose
of the Federal prohibition law was
to break up the manufacture and
sale of whiskey as commercial en-
terprise. Congress did not intend
to make criminal of man who has
few quarts of liquor in his possess
sion which he has been keeping since
the days when he could buy it law
fully. Neither did Congress intend
to make a man criminal for mix
ing sugar with grape juice and let
ting it ferment and bottling it as
wine.

They will be pitted, it is said, in some

Grady-Ruck strain. which are raised
exclusively by Mr.. Wheatley, and
represent some of the finest birds
in his extensive fiocks. Mr.. Wheat
