ROBERTS ASSURED
Of SUPPORT IN
LINCOLN COUNTY

FAYETTEVILLE. Tenn, July 15 (spl)
Coy Roberts made four speeches
Wednesday, three in Lincoln county,
the former home of H. Knox Bryson,
Of the opposition. He concluded the
day with a speech at Lynchburg, in
Moore county, where he spoke at night
to representative audience of 300.
At Mulberry, the governor stopped to
shake hands and talk few minutes
en- route to Lynchburg.
Gov. Roberts spoke here in the opera
house. which was filled, with many
standing. Fully 600 citizens, many of
whom were farmers, heard him here
and his speech made q splendid i'm
preston. Many came up to shake hands
and told the governor that while there
had been more or less opposition, 1t
was gradually disappearing. He re-
ceiVed many assurances of support dur
ing his stay here and those who are
familiar with local conditions claim that
while Col Bryson will get a good vote
in his own home town, it is extremely
doubtful whether he will carry the
county. AS for Col. Crabtree, Gov
ty might safely be put down for Rob-
erts by anywhere from two to one to

inurderers of B. II. Rodgers, Rosemark

reached between the state and counsel
for Jim Wilson whereby a plea of
guilty would be entered to murder in
the first degree with mitigating cir
cunistancea and sentence of life i'm
prisonment would be imposed
A jury was qualified, accepted and
sworn. The state placed witnesses on
ghe stand to prove the manner of Mr..
Rodgers death. and to prove the con-
well as the location of the crime. The
defendants attorney entered a plea of
guilty and the verdict was written on
the Jacket of the indictment by Sam
o. Bates, attorney general, but when
Deputy Sheriff King obtained the names
of the jury, two of the jurors, ]. c.
Moore and r. l.. Guthrie, objected to
the verdict, stating that it was their
opinion that the punishment should be
electrocution.
In order to make the verdict legal, it
was necessary to enter mistrial, with
draw the objecting Jurors and qualify
another jury and go through the en-
tire process again. After the second
trial Judge Tom Harsh sentenced Will
son to life Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary.

Second-A mixed commission to be

Third-The allies are asked to ad-
vance money or provide credit for i'm
porting additional food for the entire

Foreign Minister Simons sent word
to Premier Lloyd George about an hour
before the allied representatives met
today that Germany would accede to
the allied demand and that written
note would be forwarded Immediately.
The foreign minister said that by this
means he wished to prevent the allies
from forwarding the proposed ulti-
Consequently, although the allied
ministers knew when they reached the
Villa Fraineuse at II o'clock that Ger
many had yielded. but did not know Of
the conditions laid down until it lacked
but fey moments of the noon hour
The allied ministers, up to shortly
after noon, had not yet announced
whether the conditions were acceptable.
Herr Simons said this morning the
German ministry, in its decision on
the coal question, had gone to the ut
most limit and could do nothing more,
SO that If the allied military leaders,
Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will
son still wanted an invasion of Ger
many they must have it. In a personal
letter to Premier Lloyd George, the for
eign minister, it is understood, set forth
the German position in some detail.
In this letter Herr Simons recounted
that he. had been told yesterday by
'the British premier that if he were
German statesman he would take the
risk of accepting the allied terms. The
foreign minister had taken the risk, he
said and would have to take the con-
sequence.
Taking up the German communica-
tion at once, the allied premiers dis
cussed 1t for two hours and quarter
and then took a recess until $3.50 pm.
No announcement was made as to
the allied attitude with regard to the
German conditions, but 1t was under
stood that the chief question was
whether Germany should receive the
difference in cash between the price
of coal at the pit mouth in Germany
and the world market price. The
French delegates, it>appeared, it were un-
willing to pay Germany what would
amount, to SO francs ton difference in
the price between that in Germany and
that abroad
