SUMTER COTTON
In FULL BLOOM
And q Boil Weevil Flourishing In
Every Boil, Alton Mills
Reports

Cotton is blooming in profusion in
the fields of Alton Mills, in the 18th
district, southwest of Americus, he
reports, with the boil weevil flour
ishing in the heart of every bloom.
This word came from Mr.. Mills
following the return here a few days
ago from Worth county of Thad
Glover with a stalk full Of cotton
blooms, which were shown about the
streets by Col. w. T. Lane. Mr..
Mills informed Mr.. Lane that Worth
county had nothing on Sumter, as
he had oodles Of cotton blooming on
his place.
The absence of weather cold
enough to kill the cotton. stalks at
any time, and the recent prevalence
of warm weather conducive to grow
ing is the explanation for the un-
usual development.

POINTS WAY TO
PEACE BETWEEN
TOWN AND FARMS
Compromise By Both Merchants
And Producers Essential, Says
Gillette

PITTSBURG, Dec. 29-Townspeo-
pie and farmers must put themselves
in an attitude of making concessions
or as an alternative, cooperative
stores established by combinations OF
farmers will ultimately drive local
mel chants out of the business, John
N. Gillette, of the University of
North Dakota told the members of
the American Sociological Society at
it's annual meeting here today
"That organizations of farmers
has intensified the strife between
city and country is generally recog
nized by students of the subject,
continued Dr. Gillette. "Too often
the blame is attached exclusively to
the farmers as if they have no rights
of self protection. 1t is not always
perceived that the business elements
OF cities have been organized as a
profit-getting class for long time
and that the tendency is for all these
elements to present a united front
when amehorative agricultural legis-
,ati0n is proposed or when farmers
attempt cooperative enterprises.
''If the farmers are right in their
contentious that they received an
unduly small proportion of the pro-
cecds from their produce, then they
have a right to organize both eco
nomically and politically to protect
their interests. But be it remember
ed that their cooperative efforts
evoke about as much hostility as do
their political attempts.
There are many directions for
farmers and townsmen to take in
their teamwork together. Good roads
are mutually desirable. Both sides
have common interest in promot-
ing local industries. They make
nearby markets for certain kinds of
farm produce and serve as the basis
of diversified farming.
Since it is chiefly over matters
of trade taat country and town are
arrayed against each other, the ques-
ton arises as to how they can COM
pose their differences. The local
merchant insists that farmers and
other consumers should patronize
home industries and grow quite bit
ter over buying from mail order
houses. The farmer, in turn, insists
that local prices of the things he buys
are too high and for things he sells,
too low.
"If both sides will be sensible and
fair, there is basis of compromise;
but townsmen and farmers must put
themselves in the attitude of making
concessions. The farmers should not
be expected to sacrifice all of their
gains from buying mail order hous-
es, for example: nor should they ex-
pect small merchants to meet the
prices of such huge and efficient
establishments. The merchant should
be willing to cut prices and farmers
to pay a margin for local sconven-
ience.
"The alternative would appear to
be the development of cooperative
stores by farmers that will ultimately
drive local merchants out of business.
The latter would become managers
of and statesmen in such undertake
ings,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. (By
Associated Press.) Its horizon be-
clouded by many elements Of uncer-
khinty, the arms conference today
entered a phase of negotiations which
will determine whether it is to be
successful in imposing limitations on
any class of warcraft except capital
ships.
The immediate proposal before the
session was the American plan to
limit the tonnage of airplane carriers
to be maintained by the future ma
vies of the powers. II is on this
proposition and proposals to restrict
the use of submarines and the size
of individual warships of the auxil-
iary classes that the American dele
cation now pins its hope of alnplify-
ing the capital ship agreement ais
ready reached, but to which Francs
yesterday attached reservation as to
replaeements.
Efforts to limit the naval strength
of the powers in submarines and
auxiliary warships came to an abrupt
end Yesterday after they had drawn
the French and British arms confer
ence delegates into plaisl-spoken
exchange over the possibilities Of a
future war between France and the
British empire.
The French, acting under renewed
instructions from their government,
told the conference naval COMMITTEES
with an air of finaiity that France
must remain free to build subFna-
rine flotilla nearly three times as
great as that she now possesses and
to construct, in addition, cruisers,
destroyers and other auxiliary craft
up to a tonnage Of 100000.
TO the proposal the Americans,
Japanese and Italians replied. with
expression of surprise and regret,
while the British charged openly that
such a building program must be re-
garded as q menace to British
shores. Arthur j. Balfour added that
he had no doubt, if occasion arose.
Great Britain would be equal to It.
but only if she received complete
freedom of action as to the construc-
tion of all types of auxiliaries which
might be useful against underwater
warfare.
Agreeing that further argument
would be useless, the committee turn
ed it's attention to collateral sub
jects, including regulations for fu-
ture use of submarines, proposals for.
limitation of the size and armament
of individual auxiliary vessels, and
details of the agreement already seal
ed in principle regarding capital
ships.
/ For the American delegation.
Elihu Root proposed a joint declara-
ton reaffirming the obligation Of
submarine commanders to warn
merchant ships before attack to re-
frain from. sinking vessels whose
crews and passengers could not first
be placed in safety, and to confirm
IN general to all the established prac-
tlces of international law.
In addition Mr.. Root also suggest
de a change of existing usage to pro-
hlblt attacks on merchant vessels al
| together and to make submarine
commanders who violate the regula-
tlon liable to trial as pirates.
General sympathy for the purposes
o. tnese proposals was expressed by
the representatives of all powers, but
definite action was deferred. Should
an agreement Be reached, it is to be.
submitted to all civilized nations
with an invitation fnr 1,,r,Il .;5
