Mr. Webb, who was one of the

prominent in community affairs.
The floral offerings, as he was laid
to rest in the family cemetery at
Liberty church, were many and beau
tiful, attesting to the very high es-

PREPARATIONS
POLICY REFUTED
Sir Eric Geddes Declares Allies
Are Chasing Mirage In Inhict-
ing Too Heavy Penalty

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Sir Eric Ged-
des did some very plain talking about
German reparations as the guest Of
the Thirty club of London, recently.
The club is an association of adver-
tising experts. When in parliament
Sir Eric was noted for his straight
forward style of speech, and since
he became a business man again he
is more outspoken than ever.
'In 1918 | was politician" he
said, "and | said then that we should
not make fetish Of reparations;
that we might find Preparations a
boomerang, and that the demanding
of great sums from Germany might
be bad. l nearly lost my seat over
that statement, and I had to hedge
bit"
He was under no necessity of do
ing any hedging before the Thirty
club" he continued. what l said
in 1918 has come absolutely true
now," he declared. "We were abso-
utely wrong, as allies in trying to get
the last penny out of Germany.
We cannot get it because it is not
there.
1T is no use chasing mirage.
You can only get reparations out of
Germany either money or goods.
She has no money, and if you take
her goods it will mean unemployment
here. If the leaders of thought could
bring that home to our people, it
would be a good thing for this coun-
try.
| Il have Just come from Germany.
They are desperate there. There
will never be strong government
until the people know that they can
manage their own affairs. Until
we and our allies come down to bed
rock, find out what Germany car
pay, and tell them so, there will be
no improvement. When we do that
Germany will try to pay, if possible.
But we cannot enslave a nation of
seventy millions for generations.

ATLANTA, Dec. 12.--The boil

damage to cotton crops in Georgia

10 be conquered, according to cotton
men heFe today. National state
and county agencies have Joined in
the war upon the weevil and for the
first time since the menace of the
weevil appeared in the South, it is
stated here, there is real promise
that it will be curbed in its activities.
Perhaps the most energetic cam
paign of the several being waged
against the weevil is that of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, which, according to an
nouncement at the state capitol, has
turned its experts loose upon the
Southern pest and has enlisted in
the campaign the aid and advice Of
extension directors, agricultural col
lege presidents and deans Of vari-
Gus Southern states.
Among the Important questions
recommended at a conference re-
Gently in Washington was that Of
encouraging the growth of uniform
varieties of cotton in communities.
Uniform time of planting is another
big factor in boil weevil control
which has been recommended. The
opinion has been expressed that if
agreement could be reached by the
various interest on uniform varieties
and time of planting and the recon-
mendation followed by the growers,
one-third Of the boil weevil problem
would be solved.
Cotton Readily Adapts Itself
Cotton, it is pointed out, is a plant
that readily adapts itself to changes
Of soil or climate. One variety,
therefore, may prove valuable

Cannot Receive Bride, He Says,
But Has No Objection To Son
Living With His Wife

MACON, Dee. 12.-ln answer to
a report from Atlanta to the effect
that William Scley Howard, former
congressman and now attorney for
Mrs. Sidney Lanier, is about to enter
suit against him for alternating the
affections Of Sidney Lanier, follow
ing the romantic wedding on Now
ember 5 of Miss Peggy Gravely
Lewis, to Hr Lanier, the bride
groom's father, DR.. j. d. Lanier, last
night issued statement denying that
he had persuaded his son not to
live with his wife.
"I'll give him the money tonight
if he wants to go to Atlanta to get
her." he declared. 81 tried to get
him to go live with her; but | told
him l would not receive her into
our home to support her"
Continuing, DR.. Lanier declared.
"If Schley Howard brings suit
against me for alienation of affec-
ton, | will not dignity the case by
retaining a lawyer. l feel compe-
tent to go into the court room with
him to defend myself and let the
people of Macon decide which is the
better lawyer.
This statement that Sidney was
drunk came from Sch1ey Howard
himself. The young lady called Sid
ney up 10 days ago and told HIM
she had consulted Howard to get
annulment. She said his fee would
be 5000 and she wanted him to send
$125 cash. The first intimation we
had of the drunkenness was when
She said that Schley Howard said
annulment could come on the ground
of drunkness alone. Howard put
that statement in Sidney's teeth~She
quoted Howard as saying If it had
not been for that bottle of whisky
and those drinks you two would new
er have gotten into this trouble
"I have not, nor has Sidney ever
accused the young lady of drinking.
Sidney bought pint of whisky in
Columbus, he told me, and took sew
eral drinks there. Immediately, he
went in search Of his sweetheart,
leaving Columbus Sunday afternoon,
On the train to Atlanta he took a
couple Of drinks and at the girls
home, before they went to get mar
fied, he took another drink. The
young lady did take thimble full,
but that wasn't a drink.
Sidney didn't have any idea Of
getting married when he left Macon.

lnnbus and he went with several 9TH

into satcheI. He carried along on
k spare shirt and that was lost
when when the satchel was stolen
in Columbus. He bet on the football
game and won some money. That
gave him enough money to go to
Atlanta. He went up there, got mar
|ried and borrowed $5 from his cousin
to come back home"
