FIRST PEACHES
READY SHORTLY
Shipments To Start Possibly This
Weck-Car Ordered At
MarshallviIle

The Central of Georgia today set
out fruit refrigerator car at Mar
shallville for peaches, it was an
nounced by George Anderson Amerl-
Gus agent. This means that a car
of peaches, the first of the season,
will be shipped out of that place with
in the next day or two, constituting
probably new record for early ship
ments in carlots in Georgia.
The first peaches Of the season to
be marketed in Georgia went out
yesterday from Reynolds, a crate OF
Mayflowers being expressed by A.
j. and f. f. Payne, of Reynolds, TO
Robert Cochran & Co., of New York.
The first Sumter county peaches
will be marketed next week or the
end of this week, it was stated to-
day. Mayflowers are swelling and will
be ripening sufficiently for the first
packing and shipping within few
days J. f. Poole, of J. H. Poole d
Sons, who two years ago established
a record for this county with ship
ment on May ~, stated their first
peaches would be ready by the first
part of next week and possibly
sooner.
Indications are for a fine quality
Of fruit in this section if the wealth
er remains dry enough to permit
packing under the best conditions
and prevents water ripening. The
crop is short enough to promise a
fine quality of fruit and good size,
which is expected to command good
prices and thus partly offset the loss
by shortage Both early and late
peaches show a small crop, due very
largely, it is said, to winter spray
ing which damaged the tender twigs
kept too sensitive by the lack of cold
weather.

STATE CAPITOL CLOSED
HONOKINC JUDGE EVANS
State Flag Floats At Half Mast President Expect
ed To Appoint Republican AS His
Successor
Successor

ATLANTA, May 9.-The state
capitol was closed this afternoon dur-
ing the hours of the funeral services
for Judge Beverly D. Evans at San
dersville. The state flag has been
floating at half mast in honor of the
late distinguished jurist the news Of
whose sudden death was such great
shock to the entire state.
Already there have been speculations
as to his successor. If the new
;udgeship bill which has already pass
ed the senate is passed through the
house this means that President Hard
ing will name two United States
judges for Georgia. 1t was annOunc-
ed some time ago, by republican lead
ers that in event the judgeship bill
passed that President Harding would
name republican to the office, and
w. J. Tilson, well known Atlanta
lawyer, was said to be slated for the
position.
1t is believed by state leaders here
that the president will name a sue
cessor to Judge Evans in a few days
because of the crowded condition of
the court dockets and the fact that
the regular terms of the court are
now on And it is further believed
that he will name a republican now,
and probably a democrat for the new
judgeship in the event the bill now
before the house is finally adopted.
The death of Judge Evans makes
four United States judges who have
died during the past four years. They
are Judge w. w. Lambdin of the
Southern district; Judge Emory
Speer of the Southern district; Judge
W. r. Newman of the Northern dis
trict, and Judge Beverly D. Evans of
the Southern district.
Judge Evans was in Atlanta week
before last and was picture of
health. To many of his friends he
stated that he was feeling much bet
ter than he had in years and that the

cred as transcending the authority
of the grand jurors and infringing
on the judicial functioning of the
court in that the ggrand jury propos-
ed to recommend chaingang senten-
ces be imposed on violators of the
prohibition laws.
Judge Munro stated that mo mat
ter what the newspapers say or what
individuals say, he never opens his
mouth in matters pertaining to the
discharge. of his duty except from
the bench. He also stated that it
is his policy not to receive petitions
from the civic or other organizations
suggesting how the cotht should be
that he reads practically all the inn
portant rulings with reference to
prohibition enforcement and edi-
torials in the newspapers on that
subject and in this connection he re-
ferred to the records of his court
showing that at the last term 80 men
were sent to the chaingang, tho
greatest number in the history of the
court.
Judge Munro reviewed without
specific reference to eases, instances
Of petitions ana pleading in behalf
of defendants and with reference to
methods of conducting the court,
pointing to the trial of the Son of
God before Pointius Plate as an in
stance of the trial judge hearing and
needing the cry of vox populi-pubt
lie sentiment"
Referring to the recent incident of
his refusal to accept the proposed
presentments of the grand jury,
Judge Munro stated, Gentlemen,
you have heard the matter as to
whether the judge has right to re-
fuse toaccept the presentments Of a
grand jury discussed. That has been
decided by the highest court of the
land. He has the right" He stated
that the court would be within its
rights in expunging from the records
or report of the grand jury any rec
concentrations or other matter not
within the regular specified duties of
that body and which the court con-
strued as irrevelant and improper.

COLUMBUS, May 9.-Maintain-
ing that not one part of the duty
of grand jurors is in the way OF
judicial functioning, after setting
forth clearly what he said was "ail
for their duties and limitations as de-
fined in the code" and declaring, Il
have no right to interfere with you
in the discharge of your duty and
YOU have no authority to Interfere
with me in the exercise OF my dis
cretion-and in the discharge of my
duty" Judge George P. Munro OF
the Chattahoochee circuit Superior
court, charged the Muscogee county
grand jury, which was convened
Monday, for an hour and 25 minutes.
After having delivered to the
grand jurors what was from all ap-
pearances a studiously, laboriously
and cautiously prepared charge,
Judge Munro asked the inquisitorial
body:
is the public sentiment plan the
plan you want your courts to act
upon, gentlemen?" Preceding this
interrogation, which the judge HIM
self undertook to answer counseling
the Jurors that after all good COM
mon sense is the very best asset a
grand juror can possess" he warned
them as chosen men of intelligence
and reason" against the trend OF the
times toward lawlessness and bolshe-
visu and against the danger of the
courts being swayed by public clam
or, public opinion.
Judge Munro took the position that
a judge should not hold himself aloof
from all public opinion, but that he
must maintain an untrammeled con-
science in order to be in position to
properly and fairly administer justice
in accordance with law and evidence
in each individual case. In this con-
nection he referred to what he term
ed "the recent trade in the news

report or general presentments of
the grand jury for reason of the

RUSSIAN TERMS

TO SATISFY ALL
British And Italian Delegations
Start Work With Soviet
ENJOYS


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Discus-
sion of the Russian problem as it is
affected by the negotiations at
Genoa occupied most of today's ses-
sion Of the cabinet. 1t developed
that the attitude of the Allied gov
ernments is in virtual agreement with
the policies Of the United States.
GENOA, May 9.-(By Associated
Press.) THE English and Italian
delegates to the economic conference
met today with the members of the
Russian delegation and began work
ing out a new formula concerning
the restoration Of foreign property in
Russia, said an announcement this
afternoon by the French delegation.
The announcement said it was hoped
to devise some new clause in Rus
sian memorandum which would salts
fly Belgium, and therefore France.
'Many difficulties more than this
have been passed and we shall pass
this" said Premier Lloyd George to
the correspondent last night after a
frantic day, in which he conferred
with nearly all the leading figures at
the conference. I'VE have come to
Genoa to overcome such difficulties;
otherwise why have the conference?"
The Russian delegation issued the
following statement after Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin and M. LitvIn-
off had held long conference with
Prime Minister Lloyd George, of
Great Britain, at the latter's villa:
Certain delegations are trying to
prejudice public opinion by predict
ing failure of the Genoa conference
should Russia not accept the 'ultl-
matum presented to her This is
only the last in series of consecu-
tive attempts from the same quarters
which were commenced at the very
opening of the conference when the
Russian delegation took the liberty
Of placing on record that it could not
contemplate the genuine reconstruc-
tion of Europe without the disarma-
ment problem being brought up.
GAS regards the Russian question,
one of the questions in the agenda Of
the Genoa conference, it is necessary
to point out that the very powers
who demand unconditional accept
ance of the last memorandum pre-
sented on the Russian question have
entirely disassociated themselves
from this memorandum by refusing
to accept its stipulation in one of the
most important aspects Of the Rus
sian question.
These powers, which throughout
the conference have been loath to
accept Russia as an equal partner at
the conference having threatened to
wreck the conference unless Russia
renounced the economic agreement
concluded by her with another inde-
pendent country, the very powers
whose principal conception of Euro
pean politics aims at their entire sub
ordination to the jurisdiction of a
group Of governments are now again
imperiling the conference by attach
ing the character of 'ultimatum' to
the draft of an agreement presented
to Russia by other powers than them
selves.
"The Russian delegation came to
Genoa in spirit of concihation, pre-
pared to insist upon the application
of the principles of reciprocity; and
conciliation remains as its purpose"
