Soperton Chief VIII
Face Murder Charge
For Shooting Negro

SOPERTON, Ga, Dec. 29.-J. r.
Frost, chief of police here, and his
brother, Grady Frost. are charged
with murder in warrants sworn out
following the death Of Lee Troupe,
a well-known in colored fraterndl
circles here, who was shot by thu
Frosts Christmas day.
The trouble followed the arrest by
Frost of a negro on the charge of
reckless driving while under the
influence of liquor. According to
witnesses, Troupe had something t.
say to Frost about the arrest and
was ordered by the officer to stop
following him. This the negro did,
but is said to have made remark
that was construed as a threat
against the officer, who later &C
costed him and tried to arrest him,
In the struggle that followed, wit
nesses say, the officer shot the n
gro twice when he thought he him,
self was about to be shot. H 8
brother is said to have shot at the
negro about the same time.
In a dying statement, the regr
denied that he was tryir & to shoe
Frost. Neither Of the men have been
arrested, but their father states that
they will appear at the commitment
trial to be held in a few days.

Dry Law Violations
In North Georgia Are
fragrant, Says Hager

There was more rebellion against
the drouth in the north Georgia dis
trict of federal court during the last
half of 1922 than in any previous
period, District Attorney Clint W.
Hager declared Wednesday in a re-
port of prohibition enforcement to
Attorney General Daugherty.
A total of 313 cases involving dry
law violations have been tried since
July, resulting in 221 convictions, the
report showed. Fines of $10,576, and
prison sentences aggregating nearly
Is years were imposed.
Mr.. Hager said 900 liquor cases
are now on the dockets awaiting
trial. and that l. has been necessary
to get Federal Judge Grub, of Ala
bama, to assist Judge Sibley.
For the six month period, Sal
cases were reported to the district
attorney nv nrohihition agents.

FRANCE WOULD TAKE
GERMANY FORESTS
As PLEDGE FOR DEBT.

PARIS, Dec. 29.-By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Premier Poincare
plans to follow up the reparations
commissions decision declaring
Germany in default of her wood de-
liveries, by taking over the Ger
man state forests as a guarantee.
If the other rremiers will not
agree to this step it is understood
France is prepared to act alone.
It now is feared that the British
and French attitudes will be as far
apart when the premiers reconvene
as they were when the recent Lon
don conference adjourned, and the
latest reparations development is
taken to support this view.
Sir John Bradbury went to Lon
don today to confer with Prime Min
lister Bonar Law and other members
of the government on the effect Ct
the PREPARATIONS commissions av-
ton. and on the question of the gen.
eraI British policy toward the pre-
miers' meeting.
Sir Johns reasons for refusing to
support the default vote, which rea.
sons, it is thought, may be taken as
O. reflection Of the position of Mr..
Bonar Law, were that certain ex.
tenuating circumstances entitled
Germany to more lenient considera.
ton, and that, furthermore, the al
lies had previously agreed on
course less radical in the event OF
Germanys failure to make the de-
liveries.
Frances victory in the reparations
commission vote is ascribed to the
personal efforts of Premier Poin-
care, who is said to have carefully
planned the coup. The action was
so quietly and swiftly executed that
none of the American OFF,.
Gals had the opportunity Of being
present.
Although the United States has no
vote in the commission, the views Of
it's observers have always had much
weight, especially when a vital Is
sue was before the commission as
was the case yesterday. 1t is de-
clared in Preparations circles that the
position of the American observers
has Appropriated that Of the Brit
ish.
The commissions sudden decision
took not only the Americans but
French political circles by surprise,
since it was generally understood
that the commissioners would take
no decision until after the premiers'
meeting

the khan is distinctly a non-political

problems of this remarkable
economic movement that in many
cases men of the broadest expert
ence and the highest ability pre-
fer to work with co-operatives
for less remuneration than they
could obtain in purely private
employment.
How Fundamentals Were Recog-
niZed
Nearly all attempts at coop
erative marketing have embodied
one or more of the fundamentals
essential to- success as above
enumerated. Some have en-
bodied most of them, some all
of them.
Many cooperative plans, how
ever, had bugs in them, meth
DDS of election, methods of OPP
Grafton, or methods of distribu-
ton Of the product or of the
proceeds, that were faulty, and
caused trouble.
A great deal of confusion arose
in the early years of cooperative
marketing in America, between
the technique of the consumers
co-operatives and that of the
producers co-operatives, the cen
sumers' co-operatives operating
under the so-called Rochdale
plan, and the producers" coop
eratives after the Danish plan in
most essentials.
Each group, in the early days
of cooperative marketing in
the United States, when the feel
ing and the demand for cooper
alton in market arose, got to-
gether and talked it over, as
sembled collective ideas into a
plan, and went ahead, without
regard to the experiences of
ether groups, without taking adj
vantage of their mistakes. Ev-
cry new group thus had to &C
quire it's own experience and
make it's own mistakes.
