EYES OF CONFERENCE TURNED ON Japan
COLQUITT LIQUOR SLUETH
GIVEN WARNING BY K. K. K.
Ten Days Your Limit; We Do Not Need You And
Your Assistant Says Letter To County
County Police Chief

MOULTRIE, Nov. ia letter
bearing the signature ''K. X. K" ad-
dressed to j. Stewart, chief of the
Colquitt county police force, and re-
ceivcd by him yesterday read as fol
lows:
Ten days your limit. We do not
need you and your assistant. FAIR
WARNING"
The letter was mailed in Moultrie
and the handwriting was clear, the
last two words being printed out in
capital letters.
Mr. Stewart, after receiving the
letter, issued a statement saying
that he would not take the warning,
but would be right on the job eleven
days from. While it is generally un-
derstood that the Ku Klux has a lodge
here with a rather large membership,
Mr.. Stewart is not inclined to think
that any of its members sent the
threatening letter.
1t was generally believed here that
the opposition to the work of the
county police who are generally
known as liquor sleuths" had about
died out. When they were first put

RACED DLIONESS IN
JUNGlON BIkE
Rev. Jim Bell, lisssShary,
Writes From BelgiaE ongo
I'm Africa

RICHLAND, Nov. lDs Mrs. R.
t. Dixon this week received letter
from Rev. Jas. w. Bell, better known
in Riehland and Americus as plain
jim Bell This was the first COM
munication from him to any of the
Richland people in over two years.
Rev. Mr.. Bell is located in Africa,
away down in the Belgian Congo;
the widest section in the world, as
missionary from America. He
writes of the wonderful progress
made among the savages, who still eat
humans ard know nothing of civiliza-
ton, especially of clothes. He tells
also of a close call he had when he
encountered honess out foraging
for food. He was riding bicycle
and was able to make it go just a
little bit faster than the honess. They
played hide and seek for miles, and
until he got out of the jungle grass.
He will complete his five years
service there next September and ex-
poets to return to the states for a
while at least, bringing with him his
wife, to whom he was married few
months ago.
He was raised in Richland and has
many relatives here, in Americus and
other cities, who will be glad to see
him again, His mother lives in Vir-
ginia.

on duty this year were constantly
placed under arrest several times on
various charges. They never were
indicted, however. A petition car
rying several hundred names was
presented to the grand jury in April
urging that body to advise the coun-
ty commissioners to get rid of the
dry officers, but instead of doing
ing that the grand jury heartily
commended their work in it's general
prcsentments. The fight took a diff
ferent turn in July when straw
election was held at the same time
Colquitt voted on the fence question
and holders of the power franchise
were given an opportunity to voice
their opinion as the continuance of
the policemen on duty. In this straw
vote the opposition to the county po-
lice was more than five to one. The
commissioners refused to take any
cognizanee of it and since that time
sentiment against the county police
men has gradually been dying out
and news that threatening letter
warning them to leave the county in
ten days created considerable sur
prise in Moultrie.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (By AS
sociated Press The precise atti-
tude of Japan is becoming more and
more the big Interrogation point of
the arms conference. When the dele
gates of the nine nations assembled
today to talk about the Far East, it
was Japan to whom they looked for
hint that would reveal just what
trend would be taken by the negotia-
tions as they affect China.
In the same way, perhaps, with in
terest more intense, the naval experts
OF the powers are pondering Japan's
request for an increase III her popor-
tionate naval strength, wondering
whether she will raise direct issue
with the United States by proposing
material changes in the ratio fixed by
the American plan.
lnterchanges with Aokio are said
to have provided the japanese delega-
ton with comprehensive information
as to the attitude of their eoyern-
ment, but there is no authoritative
prediction how far the attitude will
be revealed at the present stage of
The Far East negotiations.

WHO'LL HELP GIVE
BOY CHANCE F?
Ambitious Lad, Without Friends
Or Funds, Wants To Go
To School

The Times-Recorder has received
the following appeal from Rev. Silas
Johnson:
Editor Times-Recorder- you
allow me space in your valuable pa
Fer to present to the people of Amer
icus the case of young man who is
now at the City Hospital. This young
man is very anxious to continue
school and he has no funds or friends
to help him. Further, he is in need
of medical attention for some two
months. Dr. l.. F. Grubbs has kind
ly consented to treat this young man
without charge. Arrangements have
been made with the A. and M. school
to take him long enuogh to give him
chance, if we can arrange for his
expenses. Forty dollars will keep
him in school for two months. This
will give us time to get some family
to take him and give him home.
This is a most worthy cause and |
am sure there are people in our city
who will be only too glad to provide
the funds. Contributions may be sent
The Times-Recorder or handed to the
undersigned. Very truly yours,
SILAS JOHNSON.

AMERICUS TO
FIGHT UNFAIR
COTTON RATES
Railroads Discriminating In Favor
OF Augusta-Chamber Seek
ing Repeal

The attention of the Chamber OF
Commerce has been called to the
fact that Americus is losing cotton
N other cities on account of the rail-
roads publishing rates and rules which
allow cotton from points west ana
south of Americus, including points
in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and
other states, to pass through Amerl-
cus which is a compress point, and
to Augusta, for concentration and
re-shipment to Savannah, Carolina
points and Eastern cities, at the
through rate from point of origin to
final destination, and that the tariffs
do not accord to Americus and other
points in Georgia this privilege.
The Chamber of Commerce is now
handling the matter with the rail-
road officials with view of getting
the same concentration and re-ship-
ping privileges for Americus, and it
is understood that unless action IS
AIKEN by the railroads Immediately,
the matter will be referred to the
commissions, both the Georgia and
Interstate Commerce, for immediate
relief: --..-.
Americus has always been an i'm
portant concentration point and un-
less given equal rates and privileges
as are accorded other cities the losses
to Americus will be very great.
1t is hoped that the railroads will
eliminate the discrimination i'm
mediately without having to handle
with the commissions.

WAS ONCE ONLY
POOR IMMIGRANT
Head of fremont Trust Co.
Charged With Unsound
Business Methods.

BOSTON. March II. - From an
immigrant boy, trudging the dusty
roads of Massachusetts with a tin
and rag pack on mis- back, penniless.
hungry. and with his shoe stuffed
with cardboard in lieu Of soles, TO
stormy petrol Of Bostons banking
wOrld-this in spitome is the dra-
matte and spectacular story of Simon
Swig. whose fremont Trust Co. has
just been closed by order Of Bank
Commissioner Allen.
Swig charges "a conspiracy" TO
ruin him because Of his stand for "a
per cent and more interest for the
people" Bank Commissioner Allen
charges "unsOund and unauthorized
banking methods"
Swig's ascension to position of
power in the banking world. 70 a
place of prominence in the political
world and 10 position of standing
in the social community rivals the
career of any hero OF Horatio Alger
or oliver. optic.
Swig was born in Russia Nav Is.
1865. He came 10 this country when
i years old, a boy in short trousers,

and did the mental work that IS the
usual store OF the young immigrant
His first venture into business was
as a pack peddler. lie collected
rags and sold tinware from a pack
on his back. He married a girl of
15.
Swig finally took RESIDENCE in
Taunton. where. with small fund
ne had marshalled from his own pri-
vauons. he launched himself into
the junk business.
Swig then came TO Boston in 1915
and in 1917 he was elected 10 the
house from RoNbury. His political
enemies attempted in vain TO defeat
him for reelection. They then ac-
cused him OF spending more than
the law allows and asked the house
TO expel him The house heard the
evidence and dismissed the com
plant
About seven years so Swis be-
came actively interested in banking
and the fremont Trust Co. was
formed. The former immigrant sur
rounded himself with influential men
Of standing who had faith in his
ability. Former Cows John L. Bates
and Eugene Foss were two of his
staunchest supporters and have al
ways remained so.
