Augusta for me-
Without any more emotion than
woman would display in showing how
a dress was made, Mrs. Moore told
of her husbands movements; of an
accident that happened to the car she
and he were riding in while in Co.
lumbia, of his having to go to bed Tor
treatment while recovering from in
juries and of the low state of their
finances when he recovered.
ssHe blew the Blythewood bank and
got s1,165 from there she said. "At
Roberta. Ca, he lost his car-had
to leave in a hurry. From Augusta ne
did the Blythewood robbery and then
we moved to Columbia.
sI had gotten him to promise that
he would quit after this season. See,
safe blowers do not work in the
summer-the winter is their season.
"After we had moved to Columbia
nv husband did the Little Mountain
lob and then tried Blackstock; but
lost out there.
"Then he worked Gilbert. At Gill
bert he only got s15-he blew the
wrong safe and did not have time to
blow the other before he had to get
away. The last job was at White
Oak. Here he got about $4,000 in
bonds, which were burned. He got
about 5000 in money, of which $3.50
was in gold.
Goes to Trenton.
'sFor the Trenton job, he got his
dynamite in Brookland. He brought
it home and boiled it and told me he
was going in the country. He went
to Trenton to get the bank. What
happened at Trenton is we'll known.
'He always had confidence in me
and kept nothing from me-"
When asked what disposal was
made of bonds and stamps, Mrs.
Moore said, New cards would be
gotten for the war saving stamps
and they would be put on these new
cards. If the bonds were reg
istered they would be destroyed.
If not registered, they would be dis
posed of with considerable ease.
"Once after we had been away
from Columbus we returned and
found the house we had occupied had
been burned down. Deep holes were
dug all about the place where people
had been looking for buried money
they had gotten it, too.
care my people living? Well, after
I had run away from school, my faith
er was very bitter and forbade any
communication with me. I heard
from a sister occasionally, and once
she wrote me that father had had a
stroke of paralysis and was calling
for me. I went to see him and he
asked me to stay at home. I told
him that if he were sick l would
gladly come to see him but that my
place was with my husband and that
if he could not come to the home
with me, why I would not come eth
er. So I am just going to see how
things here turn out and do not care
to give my maiden name"
Mrs. Moore said her husband usu=
ally worked alone though she said he
had accomplices on certain jobs
which were large. He was a man of
little education, she said, though he
had travelled over the United States.
She said he was AZ years OF age.

TCHITCHERIN BLAMES
EX-PROPERTY OWNERS.

GENOA, April 25.- (By Assoicat,
ed Press. Foreign MinisterTchitch-
erin, of Russia, declared to the Asso-
ciated Press today that the Allied
resistance TO the Russian principle
pf naturalization was blocking the
economic conference.
1T is obvious" he said, "that the
only serious obstacles to peace with
Russia and general reconstruction
are the pretensions of a few former
owners of property in Russia"
Another new twist in the Russian
tangle causes inquietude in confer
ence circles. Seemingly the Russian
delegates have developed new set
of proposals. 1t is understood that,
at the meeting Of the experts on the
Russian question Monday afternoon,
the Soviet delegates argued for the
complete wiping out Of the war debts
and also relinquishments of all ar
rears in interest on pre-war debts.
simultaneously they asked for as
surances that the powers would grant
loans sufficient to enable Russia to
reorganize her national life.
AS the Soviet had previously Civ
en- the Allies to understand that a
scaling down of the war debts would
be accepted, the demand of the dele
gates for protocol cancelling these
debts caused great ssrprise to the
representative Of the powers, who
reported to the chiefs of their respec-
tive delegations that the trend of de-
days meeting with the Bolshevik in
dicated the possibility of insurperable
difficulties in coming to some ar
rangement with the Soviet
The Russian request for extensive
loans caused dissatisfaction because
it is recognized that it would be ex-
tremely difficult to guarantee credits
to Russia without some reasonable
assurance that they woud be handled
by truly responsible Russian gov
ernment.
The Allied chiefs frankly express
ed their opinion that an arrangement
with the Soviet viii be extremely
difficult unless the Russian delegates
show a reasonable attitude.
The experts adjourned sine die be-
cause of what they termed the ex-
cessive Russian demands, which pro-
posed also that the powers accept
non-restitution Of the private prop
erty of foreigners.
The Russian delegates declared that
the terms they were willing to grant
were conditional, first, on the recog-
milton of their government, and, sec
ond, receipt of loan from foreign
countries.

FRANCE INSISTS ON FORCING RUSSLA'S HAND
May 6 Last Day for Women or
Men to Register for Election

Although the issues and men VINO
will contest in the general election
in Georgia this fall have not yet come
to the front, there are indications
that there will be some lively CON
tests, and all over the state the wo-
men, who have been enfranchised by
federal amendment, are showing a
greater disposition to assume their
political responsibilities. At least to
the extent Of registering so as to
be able to vote this fall, which most
of them might wish to do should some
great issue involving public welfare
or morals come up, as frequently
happens.
All persons, male and female, who
wish to vote this fall in the state
election are required to register with
the tax collector at the court house
before May 7, for that is the date
the registration books close by law
and there is no legal method by
which a name can be registered after
that date-and registration is neces-
sary to qualify one to vote.
The law in Georgia says that reg
istatiOn must close six months be-
fore the election. The first general
election this year comes on the first
Tuesday in November, which is Nov.
7. Therefore, registration closes
May 7. As the date falls on Sunday,
registration will close Saturday night,
May G.
Men or women who have previous
ly registered, need not register again,
but it would be well to be sure their
names are on the lists. If they have
moved into another county, or into
new militia district, they must
register again, or have their regis
tration transferred.
Women who have not registered
must register before May if they

HOME GROWN MEAT CLOSE
ARMOUR CORDELE AGENCY

CORDELE, April 25.-Armour &
Co. will close their agency in Cor
dele on May /, according to informa-
tion given out by the management
here today. The chief reason given
for the closing of the agency is that
Georgians in this section have in
creased their home output of meats
and live stock to such large extent
that the sales for the western pro-
duets are not large enough to justify
maintenance of an agency in this
community. Part of the local busi-
ness go to the Albany branch and
part to Macon.

er packers, who have FOR long time

They must pay poll tax for 1922
but poll tax is not required Of them

ing on registration at this time. The
poll tax is 81 and goes to the pub

however, must be made to the tax
receiver before his books close April
so.
In Sumter county few white wo-
men registered two years ago prior
to the election, but the practice was
not general This year it is expected
the number will be greatly increased,
particularly in view of the fact that
various women's organizations tof
this county have given considerable
time and study to civil government
and the duties and privileges of vot-
ers III recent months in preparation
for the exercise of the right of fran
chise. The Woman's Literary club,
among others, has a special program
on civil government for the years
study course and the weekly meet
ings are principally devoted to learn
ing the practices Of Democracy and
woman's new place in politics.
For the city election this fall the
registration date and rules will be
prescribed later by the city executive
committee, so this need be given no
attention by the women at this time.
But for the state election the last
date on which women or men not
registered may enroll is Saturday
evening, May 7. The time is short
and all women particularly, who are
interested in better government, are
urged to register with the tax collec-
tor at once.

Misleading

At the request of A. @. Blalock,
candidate for commissioner Of agri-

Monday afternoon after spending the

following statement by him is pub

Editor Times-eRcorder:
Dear Sir: In the interview you

inaccuracies and your headlines are
inaccurate and misleading.
"First, the headlines state that |

statement to that effect.
Sc ond, when asked whom Mr..
Watson would support, l stated that
Mr.. Watson and | had not always
seen aligned politically in the past
and that I could not claim his sup
port, but I had had 70 communities
ton nor have | VISITED Mr. Watson.
as a candidate for commissioner
of agriculture, it is bat natural for
me to desire the support of every
voter that | can possibly obtain, and
I am counting upon thousands of Mr..
Watson's friends to support me III
the race for commissioner of agricul-
ture.
while MIR. Watson and have not
always been aligned politically, our
business relations have always been
most cordial. | know OF no reason,
except past political differences, that
would prevent me from having Mr.
Watson's personal support. Certain
ly, Mr.. Watson has not expressed
one way or the other.
Il have no i'll feelings against Mr.
Watson, nor do l believe he has
against me, -.-a-,-- ------s-
''In fairness to me, ask that you
give this letter the same prominence
you gave the story in your paper to-
day. Respectfully.
"a 0. BLALOCK"
Mr.. Blalock in his dictated state
ment does not adhere exactly to
statements he actually made in his
first interview. In the first interview
he was NOT asked whom Mr.. Watson
would support, but Watson's name
came up when it was mentioned that
he senator in the last issue of his
,,aper had made rather sighting re-
mark concerning Mr.. Bialock as d
man "who thinks he will be the next
commissioner of agriculture" 1t
was then that Mr. Blalock said em-
phatically just as he was quoted, "f
am not going on my knees to Watson
for his support . | have never been
a Watson man nor aligned with him
and he has no reason to support me. !"
In the published interview Mr.. Bla-
lock was made to say that he did not
want the assistance of Mr.. Watson.
This was the sense of Mr.. Blalock' S
REMARKS as SalIleu from Wllat ne h1u
