FEDERAL AGENTS
CAN'T SEARCH HOMES
ACTION OF CONGRESS MAKES
HOME BREW SAFE FROM
DRY" SLEUTHS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
of congress has voted to keep the home
stills boiling. i.
Under an amendment to the anti
beer bill, approved by the house last
week, the cellar still and home brewing
outfit would be safe from interference
by federal prohibition agents, If no at
tempt was made to sell the product,
It came about in this way. The
house adopted substitute to the
Stanley amendment, passed by the
senate, which prohibits all searches
and seizures without warrants.
The house substitute prohibits the
searching of homes without warrant t;
and then declares that no warrant shall
be issued unless there is reason TO be-
lieve that liquor is being "manutaCc,tur-
ed for sale or sold" in the home. Thus
so long as you are not making liquor
for sale or selling it the prohibition
agent cannot get into your home 10

Uncle Sam Needs Help;
Has Too Much Booze

WASHINGTON, D. Can over
stocked national booze cellar that
nobody knows how to empty is one
of the unusual heritages of Uncle
Sam under the prohibition law.
TIE anomalous story of how, in a
land of drought, liquor obtained by
conhscation has become white ele-
plant on the hands of the govern
ment was told to the cabinet today
by Attorney General Daugherty,
arousing a discussion which led no
where except to decision to investi-
gate further.
The attorney general told the
president and department heads that
large sums of much needed govern
ment funds were being eaten up in
storage house rentals and policing
expenses to keep liquor that the gov
ernment did not want An even
greater economic waste would result
from pouring the seized spirits into
the sewer, and it was suggested that
a way might be found to extract the
alcohol for commercial purposes or
to turn the liquor itself to some
legitimate use The law says it is
to be ''conhscated" but doesn't say
how to dispose of it.

U. S. "HELD UP" BY
FRENCH GOvERNME
DOUBLE CROSSED" IN SALE
OF U. S. WAR SUPPLIES.
RIDICULOUS PRICES.

WASHINGTON, D. Members
of congress have been astounded by
the disclosures that the French govern
ment had attempted to impose a tariff
duty on war materials shipped to
France during the war.
Congress learned for the first time
that France insisted that if the Amer
lean government attep..rted to carry
back to the United States the supplies
remaining after the armistice duty
Of about $l50,000,000 would be impos-
ed AS a consequence of this threat
the American liquidation committee
sold to France for 100000 property
originally valued at $l,700,000,000.
Not only did France agree to waive
a tariff claim when the sale was made,
but promised that the goods would be
used for the benefit of French people
in rehabilitating devastated areas. Now
it turns out that the French govern
ment has sold most Of the property to
the spectators and individuals, who
are trying to ship the goods to the
United States and sell them here at
cut prices. The house of representatives
has blocked the scheme, however, by
adopting a resolution imposing tariff
OF 9 cents on all such goods, so that
no more OF it will be dumped on the
American shores.

WOULD STOP PLANTING
COTTON IN GEORGIA
AT MACON URGES
LEGISLATURE TO PASS
SUCH A LAW.

MACON, Ga.-The Georgia Farm
congress, meeting in conjunction with
the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
today passed a resolution urging that
the state take legal steps to stop all
production of cotton in Georgia for
one year.
The resolution was introduced by
Benjamin w. Hunt, banker and plant
er, and Endorsed by ]. J. Brown, state
commissioner OF agriculture. 1t was
passed unanimously as the initial step
toward the absolute abolition of the
boil weevil as a factor in the cotton
situation, by freeing the entire cotton
belt of the pest.
The proposal is a radical one, and
should such a measure be introduced
in the Legislature it will no doubt meet
with strong opposition apd provoke a
hot fight. It will be found that many
people are not yet willing for statutory
legislation to go that far.

JUDGE SEARCY SCORES
THE RACE AGITATORS
SAYS THE INTER-RACIAL COM
MITTEE DOING STATE HARM
AND NOT HELPING NEGRO.

JACKSON, Gait is time such
nauseating propaganda should stop,
asserted Judge w. Z. II. Searcy, jr.,
in his charge to the Butts county
grand jury referring to the recent
peonage charges brought against citi.
Gems Of Georgia by the inter-raciai
committee of Atlanta. Judge Searcy
scored the activities of what he term
ed the "misguided efforts of the inter
racial committee and agitators," and
his remarks on this line were feature
of his charge at the 'convening OF the
August term of Butts county superior
court.
He said the people Of Georgia have
been done a great injustice and a
grievous wrong by the so-called friends
of the negro. In fact, he said, they are
the negro's worst enemy
Every smokehouse, every corn crib
will soon be closed to the negro unless
this propaganda stops" said Judge
Searcy. The real friends of the negro
are the southern people, he said, and
the farmers Of Georgia and Of the
south have made advances to the negro
when in all probability they knew they
would not get back the money. This
generously, AMOUNTING III many NeioSo
to charity has been met, said Judge
Searcy, by charges Of peonage and
cruel treatment.
The jutist pleaded for square deal
for the negro and demanded in return
that he be made to- give square deal
He deplored mob law and violence, but
said the effective remedy in this and
all other cases was to first remove the
cause. He showed that in Georgia ap-
proximately AZ per cent of the popula-
ton is composed of colored citizens
and that almost 81 per cent of all crime
is committed by the negro.
1.-THE sooner the better element Of
the negro race learns to stop follow
ing the will-o'- the-wisp of 40 acres and
a mule, of social and political equality
the better it will be for Them" said
the judge.
There is no better, safer place in all
the world for the good, law-obeying
negro than here in Georgia. Here
there is mutual understanding. The
white man has fed, clothed and cared
for the negro. Oftentimes he has been
repaid for this kindness by acts of bru-
tally and lust"
y. Judge Searcy said that as long as
he could raise his voice or lift his arm
he would refute the vile SANDER
brought against great state and a
great people by set Of misguided agi-
tators and reformers."

BUSINESS FIRMS
FAILED DURING JULY
RECEIVERSHIPS DURING THE
MONTH EXCEEDED THOSE
OF HUME BY IL PER CENT.

NEW YORK, N. Y-One thousand
four hundred eighty three business
concerns in the United States went
into receivers hands during July, says
Bradstreet's credit-rating agency.
This was about II per cent more
than in June, when the number OF
failures was 1929.
But compared with January, when
there were 1908 failures-it is a much
better showing than many credit eX-
perts had expected.
July, it had been feared, would be
the month of greatest business NOR

These taxes also would become Ell

No change was made in the levies
on telegraph, telephones, cable and

law remaining in force.
Luxury Tax Continues.
The manufacturers tax of per cent
on carpets, trunks and other articles is
designed to replace the so-called lux

TEN DAY TAGS HAVE
LOST THEIR CUNNING
MUST HAVE THE REAL TAG
WHEN CAR APPEARS. MORE
FEES FOR SHERIFFS.

Anybody in Georgia driving an au-
tomobile at this time with one of the
cardboard ten day" tags which have
been issued to automobile dealers for
a long while is violating the law and
is subject to technical arrest of his car.
That law was wiped out by the legis-
1ature and Secretary Of State McLen-
don has called attention to it in the
following statement:
1.-THE press of the state will render
the public a service by calling atten-
ton to the amendments made to the
motor vehicle law.
From now on no ten day card
board tags can be used at all, and it
will be a violation of the law for any
one to attempt to operate car under
one of these tags.
THE amended law makes it the duty
of every sheriff in the state, of which
there are 100, and OF every constable,
of which there are LOO, one in each
militia district, to swear out warrant
and prosecute every violator of the
motor vehicle law. In other words, an
army of 1860 public officers is now
charged with the duty of enforcing the
law, not only as to tags but as to ev
cry other requirement.
1T will not be safe for any violator
of the law to get out OF his militia dis
trict with an unregistered car.
THE amended law also defines the
use to which dealer may put deal
er's tag. Many dealers are now using
tags unlawfully.
"Constab1es who swear out warrants
and justices of peace who issue such
warrants will be entitled to costs as
fixed by law in misdemeanor cases"
The Sheriff Gets His.
Still another change made in the
law, in addition to those referred to by
Mr.. McLendon, is provision which
requires every man in the state with
car which was registered the previ-
Gus year, and is not registered by the
first day of March and up to the first
dav of May in each calendar year, to
have his application for license tag
vised by the sheriff of his county, for
which he pays a fee of 81. No applica-
ton for a tag on an old car will be
recognized by the secretary OF state
between March l and May | which Is
not endorsed by the sheriff OF the
county from which it comes. The pur-
pose of this change in the law, as ex-
planned by the authors of it, is to pre-,
vent the theft of automobiles. 1t does
not apply to new cars, or to cars which
have never been registered but, taken
in connection with the record OF un-
registered cars of the current year,
Which appeared on the registry list of
the previous year, and which is pro
vided monthly to every sheriff in the
state, the authors believe it will make
the registration of stolen cars nearly
impossible. Under the operation OF the
law it will mean that the purchaser OF
a used automobile will, Tor. his own
protection, have to be careful OF the
person or concern from which he pur-
chases it. in order that he may be sure
the cal. will not be taken away from
him by the sheriff when he seeks to
have an application tag vised by the
sheriff.
