STEPHENSON TRIAL
NEARS ITS CLOSE

BIRMINGHAMh Ala, Oct. I'll
Ruth Stephenson Gussman came
back into her mothers arms today.
The girl, whose desertion of her
parents and marriage to Pedro Guss.
man, a Porto RiCan Catholic, precipi-
tated the killing Of Father James E.
CoAle, Catholic priest, embraced her
parents in q crowded court room
today as the climax of morning Of
sensations.
The scene was enacted Immediate
ly following the recess adjournment
of the court, where the father, Rev.
Edwin r. Stephenson, is on trial for
the murder. 1t followed a pathetic
appeal for the ministers acquittal by
Attorney Fred Fite. When he fin
ished his address half the court room
was crying.
Dramatic Scene
The reconciliation was brought
about by a reporter of the Birming-
ham Post, who led the hesitant
daughter to her mother.
kiss me, darling, if you want to-
Mrs Stephenson told her in a low
voice. They embraced.
Don't you know, darling, that
your your father loves you? You do.
Mother knows. Kiss him, my child"
The big man was crying as his
daughter put her arms around him.
My little girl" he sobbed.
The pathetic scene was broken by
the girls aunt.
You look a sight with your hair
bobbed, Ruth" she said. They left
the court room separately, Ruth 60
ing with her friend, Mrs. T. J. Patt,
Of Loretto, Tenn, where the girl has
been a recluse for the last few
weeks.
Fite spoke for little more than
an hour. He painted picture Of
motherhood and told Of the love of
parents for their children. Half the
court room was crying.
The attorney insisted that Stepn-
enson had been stirred to actiep for
which he was not responsible, be-
cause his only child had been taken
from him. The worn minister and
wife sat behind the speaker, facing
the jury. More than once he covered
his face with a handkerchief and

touching appeal. Tears also rolled
down the pale cheeks of his wife,
who sat at his side. Less than five
feet away sat the daughter next to
a Catholic friend. During the speech,
her face showed not the slightest
emotion.
Climax after climax came during
the morning session. The first SEN
sation was the appearance of Mrs
Gussman, too late TO testify in be-
half or against her father. She had
been summoned as a witness lor the
state.
Assistant Solicitor John H. Nc

EN- ROUTE, Oct. 21.-The view
Of H. E. Hammock. a big supply
merchant Of Edison, is pertinent in
considering conditions in Calhoun
county, concerning which it was
shown yesterday that DR.. w. e..
Saunders, of Arlington, and c. j..

launching of cooperative organiza-
ton among the farmers.

tensively Of this produce, and is
familiar with the obstacles that
hinder the development of diversi-
fication.
1T is a matter Of prices as much
as it is the absence of adequate
market facilities in the towns" said
Mr.. Hammock.
Il am buying every day some
corn in the shuck from the farm
ers who bring it to town. 1 am
paying SO cents bushel, but 1 am
not purchasing for shipment. My
business in this line is restricted to
local resale.
I'VE have a surplus corn crop
in the county-about rs per cent of
the yield, should say, is over and
above the actual requirments IF the
men who produced it. Some of this
is being offered in Edison, and L
am buying in small quantities.
THE weevil has a happy life In
this climate. he gets an early
start, and it is difficult~to get corn
that is not weevil infested, because
the parasite gets in the corn even
before it is harvested"
DiversificatiOn Discouraged
Diversification in a modest way
has been attempted in the section,
Mr.. Hammock remarked, but it has
never made much progress because
the downward trend Of prices that
has followed abundant production Of
crops other than cotton has diScour-
aged the farmers.
This is a good hog country" he
said For a time many hogs were
shipped by the farmers. The prices
were attractive and encouraged pro,
duction. But when the industry
seemed we'll established, prices took
slump. and he farmers returned
to cotton as their chief money CROP
Mr.. Hammock agrees with E. G
Teal, of Cuthbert, about the diff
Guilty Of organized cooperation
among the farmers.
THE Sapiro plan for marketing
the cotton crop listened good when
cotton was selling around ten cents,
he said But now that the market
has improved interest in the Sapiro
movement is on the wane"
One Big Trouble
In the towns throughout south
west Georgia, / have found a gen
eral agreement with DR.. Saunders
explanation of one of the big trou
bles on the farm, which he summed
up in these words:

least satisfactory in other sections
of the country, but not in Geo"-
gia and the south, where we are de-
Ttnuent upon tle negro as the chief
labor of the farm"
DR.. Saunders thinks that some
progress could and probably would
be made in standardization Of pro-
duction and the proper grading of
crops if the good farmers" were
actually on the job, directing the
work.
But it Is too much to expect our
southern farm labor to give intelli-
gent direction to Standardization and
grading" he said. 1.-THE average
farm labor in the south has no
information about matters Of this
kind, and with many of them it is
too late to learn. They are not
mentally equipped to appreciate it's
Importance nor to master it's intri-
cacieS.
Just as charity begins at home,
the initial problem Of marketing
farm products begins at the farm,
and if the men who have demon
strated their ability to conduct
farms successfully move away to
the towns, it is too much to ex-
pect that the necessary initial steps
in the solution of the marketing
problem will be taken"
Prices Unsatisfactory
The problems in Early and Mil
Ter counties are not different from
those in Calhoun and Randolph coun-
ties. The country lends itself splen-
didly to hog raising, but the indus
try has slumped within the last
year because of unsatisfactory
prices. The farmers cannot realize
profit and they prefer to stick to
cotton.
A gratifying feature of the situa-
ton in the entire section, however,
is the fact that the farmers. not
withstanding the short cotton crop,
and the unsatisfactory prices of pea
nuts, hogs and other products. have
an abundance of supplies to carry
them over. The surplus corn oats,
peanuts, etc, will relieve them of the
necessity of buying seed for next
years crop, and whatever hey real
ize from their crop can be applied
to the liquidation Of outstanding
obligations.

ON LOVING A DOG

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 A wisconsin man. aged 6s. seeking admittance to poor farm. was told that he might come, but that he could not bring his dog. Thenext day the oid man killed himself. Men will say he was a foolish, superficial man to be so weak. But to understand his side of it we must take into account the clrcum- stance that the man had been recluse for years and that part of that time his only companion was his dog. We nave no doubt that he came to love the dog with a devotion that fairly approached the devotion of some men to their chill dren-some men. we said. not all men. Idfe didn't mean a great deal to him anyway. At least it hadn't meant much in inc past. He inhabited small world. The only thing he possessed in his own right was cog. Perhaps it was the only thing he loved. When told that he would have to abandon the ca nine pet or be turned away from the doors of an asylum, to starve. his bur den quickly swelled and gained weight. Then he went off and died by his own hand.

"One of the attractive spectacles Hugh Hill is planning for Edgewood park the coming summer, should prove an innovation, and having heard him recite his plans, it sounds good to me" said R. E. Chadwick.
 ~"It is the varicolored waterfall, he will install as a bathing beach novelty. Hugh plans to have huge waterfall supplying the bathing pool with wa ter. Electric lights will be hidden underneath the waterfall, and many colored bulbs will be attached there to. By shutting ones eyes, one can almost picture the beauty of the aov- city as night comes on and the tights shine brilliantly through tke simmer ing sheen of water.

 This has been made possible by Inc formation of the Edgewood Park Booster club, where he gets the coop |eration of the mem bership, and is as- sured by them that they stand for anything that will make Birmin,sh lrn la better, happier and more beautiful place in which to live.'

Disarmament Question Must Be Settled Now

N7O progress will ever be made to- IN ward disarmament unless the three leading naval powers, Great Britain, America and Japan, lead the way. It is evident that Japan will not be the first to take this step which means so much to the peace of the world. The decision must be made by Great Britain and America.
 Public sentiment in all three coun- tries favors disarmament. If the matter were left to a popular vote, a disarmament programme would soon be started. Humanity is sick of war and is tired of bearing the fright full tax burdens which result from maintaining large military forces. No thinking man denies the folly of build iiS oAip cllCl SAip IudI UCCOIucS OUSO- lete in few years and spending billions of dollars simply because no nation is willing to set an example for the others to follow.
 If the world powers cannot reach an agreement to disarm now, the chances are they never will. While the memory of the last holocaust is still fresh in mems minds, statesmen should settle this question. If they wait until the horror of war is les sened by time and new complications have been brought about by conflict ing interests, the task will be both hopeless and dangerous. The world will indeed be an armed camp then, and will remain so.
