J. J. Brown Confirms Reports by
Trip-Drouth Injurious
to Cotton

ATLANTA, May s. Reports that
the cotton crop in middle Georgia had
been impaired by the bad weather of
the past week have been corroborated
here by J. j. Brown, state commits
sioner of agriculture, who spent three
days of last week on trip through
this section. Mr.. Brown reports that
rains and extraordinarily low tenn
geratures are responsible for deterl-
Grafton Of the month-old cotton in the
middle Georgia counties, and that
dry weather in the coast counties has
had a similar damaging effect. He in
dicated that warmer rains, or fair
and warm weather within the next
few days, would bring substantial re-
lief.
''The damage was most notice
able said Mr.. Brown. The with
ering of the leaves could be obsery-
ed from day to day as the cold wealth
or continued. The drought in the
coast counties was also having a Sc
rious effect upon the crops. In many
places cotton was planted early in
March, and has therefore attained
considerable growth. From indica-
tions, much Of it will be stripped by
the abnormalIy cold weather"

GENERAL FLEES

FORCES SCATTER
Wife OF u. s. Legation Secre-

Rut Rescued

PEKING, May 5 (By Associated
Press) General WI Pei-Fu was in
control of Peking at noon today and
General Chang Tso-Lin, whose forces
he had routed yesterday, was report
ed fleeing to Mukden, and Changes
army retreating in disorder toward
Tientsin.
Observers here believe Chang's
sudden collapse has ended hostilities.
Throngs of men from the defeated
army approached the walls of Peking
and pleaded for refuge inside the
city. Many of them threw away their
guns. The gates of the city were
Immediately closed, as the local au-
thorities had ordered under pressure
from foreign legations, that admit
tance be refused to the defeated
troops of either side.
The closing of the gates resulted
in the shutting cut of number Of
foreigners, including Mrs. Ray Ather-
ton, wife Of the second secretary OF
the American Legation. Mrs. Ather-
ton who had been visiting her country
home, demanded that the gates be
opened for her, but this was done
only after a rescue party had been
sent out to her aid from the legation.
The Chang soldiers, when they
found they would be unable to enter
the city, dispersed, discouraged.
Many of them marched toward the
hills, while others sought refuge in
the various temples and pagodas To-
Gated in the outlying districts.
There were numerous wounded sol
diers in the boards, some limping and
others crawling, but all impIoring aid.
The distressed men were given aid.
mostly by foreigners. They declared
they had been under constant fire
for more than five days. General
Wu's attacks, they asserted, had been
relentless. Inside the walls Of the
city quiet prevailed today. All for
cigners are reported to be safe.

COLQUITT FARMERS GET
FAMOUS HEREFORD HERD

MOULTRIE, May "a big part
of the famous Archbold herd Of Here
ford cattle sold at his farm near
Thomasville few days ago will find
owners in Colquitt county. The cat
tie were bid in by local interests
anxious to encourage the beef cat
tie industry in Colquitt county. Coun-
ty Agent Stratford induced the Moul-
trians to buy the cattle and hold them
at the stockyards here until they can
be distributed. They will be sold at
cost and they were bought at what
was considered highly advantageous
price.
The Moultrie banks have agreed
to help responsible farmers who want
to buy any of the herd, taking their
notes until fall.
Among the cattle bought is a big
hereford bull for which Mr. Arch
bold is understood to have been or
fered $4, 900 a few months ago. All
of the cattle arc registered and are
said by experts TO be of as fine
type as can be found in the state.
The beef cattle industry around
Moultrie has not shown as big growth
as the dairy business has. But farm
ers in increasing numbers are begin
ming to look upon it as a profitable
venture, especially since the county
now is practically free of the tick
menace. The campaign will be fin
ished within the next few weeks and
the quarantine lifted.

EXTENSION OF
UNUSED POWER
RIGHTS ASKED
CONGRATULATIONS Power Com
pany Representative Appear
Before Council

An extension of the franchise
granted a year ago to the Georgia
Alabama Utilities, the distributors of
Ihydro-electric power at Albany, and
which will expire on May Is, because
the concern has not complied with its
terms on May Is, BECAUSE the con-
cern has not complied with its terms
by entering Americus with service,
was asked by the city council last
night by T. H. Miner, attorney, and
L. l.. Ferree, general manager of the
Georgia Alabama Power company,
who appeared before that body at
it's regular session.
The council referred the matter
to the light committee for action,
with the understanding that until a
report was reached the franchise will
not lapse.
Mr. Miner spoke first for the pow
er concern. He stated that the COM
pany had been disappointed in not
be able to do in the last year the
! work it had intended and hoped to do,
but declared its troubles were pure
ly matters of finance. he asked the
indulgence of the City of Americus
and the granting Of an extension Of
rights.
"We feel that we have done won
ders, as it is" said he, "in view of
| financial conditions as they have
been for the last year, to complete
the Flint river plant. We feel that
in the next twelve months the whole
problem will be worked out and that
we will be in position to be in here
and SO that Americus will be enjoy
ing the privileges of hydro-electric
rates. All we can do is beg for the
extension"
Mayor Sheppard asked Mr.. Miner
If he did not think it proper for the
company to give some kind of a guar
antce, In case an extension was
granted, having failed to meet the
tlme requirements under the fran
NAtSN oiNddS ~ dHIGU. MI. Miner
stated that inasmuch as it was purely
question of financing it would be
impossible to make guarantee.
We are extremely anxious to get
IN here" said he, 'just as anxious
as you are to have us. We have pow
er to sell; the water is now going
over the dam and bringing US in no
revenue until we distribute it and sell
it. 1t is the distribution that we
now must finance"
Mr.. Ferrell declared it a matter
of mutual interest to the city and
company that it get into Americus,
and said the company hoped soon to
complete arrangements to make the
necessary extensions. IF you extend
this franchise, said he "it will help us
to get the necessary finances, but if
you do not we will not be able to get
it, because we won't have anything
to show the capitalists when we go
to them asking for money"

LLOYD GEORGE AND
GERMANS CONFER.

GENOA, May 5.-The whole Euro
pean situation, particularly the repa-
nations question and Russo-German
relations, were discussed at long
private conference between Lloyd
George and the two chief German
delegates, Chancellor Wirth and Dr.,
Walter Rathenau late Thursday.
The conference, described author
atively as of the greatest impor-
tance was held during the absence
of Louis Barthou, head of the French
delegation, thus angering the French
still further.
Previous to meeting with the Ger
mans, Lloyd George conferred with
Lord Birkenhead y-and Sir Laming
Worthington-E Evans, who also attend
ed the German conference, discussing
the general situation, and indicating
to some that Lloyd George, seriously
checkmated for the first time since
the conference began by the Franco
Belgian refusal to agree to his Rus
sian terms, is considering bold
stroke in which, if necessary, Great
Britain will act Independently of
France.
At the conference with the Ger
mans, the whole European situation,
particularly Germany's relation to it,
was reviewed. Germany's future
course toward Rus;ia, the non-ag-
gression pact, and the reparations
question were the principal items of
discussion. Lloyd George is seeking
to determine just where Germany
stands in relation to the present ten-
denotes toward regrouping Of Euro
pean interests. Germany is undoubt-
edly seeking British support in an at
tempt to modify the French attitude
toward the reparations question.
Desiring especially to avoid Eu-
ropean crisis May 81, when the Ger
mans must have their answer ready
to the reparation commissions de-
mand for a new internal loan
Lloyd George treasured the Germans
that the British are still insisting up
on a meeting of the Versailles sigma
tories before that time But he de-
manded definite information from
Germany as to what extent Germany
will be able to fulfill the reparations
demands, particularly what the Ger
mans will do to insure future pay
ments, such as raising taxes, if she
is granted temporary respite this
time. This led to a general discus
sion of German internal conditions.
The Germans denied that there is any
thing in their relations with Russia
inimlcal to the rest of Europe and
expressed desire to cooperate with
the other nations.
The Russian agreement will be of
no help to Germany, however, if the
Allies insist upon enforcing the Yer
saillies sanctions to the letter. thc
Germans argued.
