find Body In Swamp
After Long Search
Robert Thrift Disappeared From Hop
kins Six Weeks Ago-Fear That
He Met With Foul Play

WAYCROSS, Ga,-The body OF
Robert Thrift Young white man who
mysteriously disappeared from Hop
kins, Ga, about six weeks ago was
found Monday by a possee about mile
from Hopkins in the Okefenokee
swamp. The body when found was
lying face downward, and apparently
had been in the same spot for weeks,
ana was badly deromposed, so that the
cause OF the death could not be deter
mined.
Reports from Hopkins received in
this city late Monday indicated that a
jury would be impanelled and the cor
cner's inquest be held. The inquest is
expected to throw additional light on
the manner in which the young man
met his death
Only meager details of the disappear
ance of Thrift and the manner in
which the body was found have been
received in this city 1t appears that
Thrift moved to Hopkins two months
ago and had spent two weeks there
before he disappeared.
Late on the afternoon on which he
disappeared he was to have left with
a mail carrier for his former home on
the road to Waycross. He was seen
two or three times during the after
noon but when the carrier looked for
hin; he could not be found. A possee
has been looking for him for some
time.
1t is generally believed in Hopkins
that Thrift ret with foul play.

that we are today using in highway

PEANUT ASSOCIATION
MAKES PLANS FOR BIG
VOLUNTEER WEEK DRIVE

Albany, Ga, April 4-With the pre-
l'mlnary work out of the way, the Geor
gla Peanut Growers Cooperative As
ISOLATION began this week determined
and concentrated Efforts to sign up
50 per cent of the 1922 ar1 cage Of pea
nuts in the Is counties comprising the
territory of the association. With the
+ held forces of the association active in
many counties heretofore unvisited,
II is expected every county's organiza-
ton will soon be brought into a state
OF preparedness that will enable it to
put over its contract quota with a
minimum of paid workers, if indeed,
not entirely volunteer efforts. Colonel
K. +. L. Spence, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee and of the organza-
ton committee, has set his heart on
doing with this association something
no big cooperative ever did-complete
the organization without any paid
workers.
During this week, officers of the
| association, county chairmen and rep
resentatives of the State Bureau OF
| Markets are signing contracts in every
part OF the associations territory, and
with every contract signed, if possible,
they are obtaining a signed pledge
from the grower to sign at least one
other man to contract.
Plans are we'll advanced for "Volun-
teer Week." which will be from April
% to May |, and during which the
most intensive effort will be- made in
every county in the association to put
over the minimum quota for that coun-
ty. Volunteers are now signing agree
| ments in large numbers to put their
services at the disposal of their respec-
tive county chairmen for at least two
days during that week. Automobiles
are being lined up for use of the work
ers, and it is believed that there will
not be an unsigned grower in the TWEEN
ty-five counties who will not be visited
that week.
One couney-Dougherty county, at
Albany-has set for itself the ambitious
task of signing its minimum quota in
half day. Paul J. Brown, chairman of
the county committee, has secured a
large number of volunteers, both farm
ers and Business men, who have a COM
plete list of all the farmers in that coun
ty and they will make a concentrated
drive that day to put Dougherty across.

Galpin, United States Department Of
Agriculture, at the second annual con.
ference on highway transportation ed.
ucation held at Washington.
"A large factor in decentralizing city
homes Is the transportation problem,
and challenges the genius Of highway
engineers" Doctor Galpin said. LESS
than one-third the entire population OF
the United States is on farms. Sixty.
eight cities Of more than 100000 popu.
lation each contain nearly another
third. The 80 odd millions Of people
living in cities Of $4,000 population
and over are being brought into imme-
date contact with the commodities OF
living, the skill Of service, mad the In.
stitutfonal wisdom of the world,
whereas those who live on farms re-
ceive few Of these advantages"
A system Of complete terminal
towns connected by rail or water to
wholesaling cities, and by an adequate
highway system to groups Of farm pop.
ulation Is Doctor Galpin's solution fol
taking the curse off farming, and
opening the door to a good kind OF

RACE FARMER SUCCEEDS
IN BALL WEEVIL FIGHT

(By the Associated Negro Press)

refutation of the claim Of the south
ern white men that most Negroes are
leaving the South because they
haven't the intelligence as farmers to
combat the ravages of the boil weevil.

that group of Negro tenant farmers

among the few farmers in the South
this year, white or black, to make a
profit from the growth of cotton.
The Negroes on these farms. share
croppers and otherwise, have all piled
up large bank accounts to the sur
prise of the whites. One of the things
used against the weevil was calcium

Newspaper Men
Enter Pact to Give
Square Deal
Over Seven Hundred Clubs in
South Admit Better Treatment
Must Be Given Negro.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 10.-Foilowing
In the wake OF the seven hundred or
more inter-racial clubs in the South,
and the state federation of white
women of the South, which have de-
clared against mob violence and for
better treatment for the Negro race,
grand movement Is on among the
representatives of the southern press
to see that black men and women get
a squarer deal.
AS a result of the meeting Of
group of. Virginia editors who came
together to discuss the work of the
southern press in it's relation to Ne
gro, a set of resolutions were drawn
up and adopted which was calculated
to destroy what has hitherto been the
slandering and hindering record OF
white southern newspapers.
These resolutions are being sent to
editors in all parts of the South and
are said to have met with general ap-
proval.
Among colored people it is gener-
ally agreed that it will take some time
to determine Just how useful they
may be. There is hope among them
that the white persons who have set
their names to the new "code of hon
or" may be honest enough and strong
enough to see that it is maintained
despite sundry difficulties that may
arise among white persons not so ia
vorably inclined.
One of the most significant of these
resolutions reads: "The Negroes Of
the South are largely dependent upon
the white press for current news Of
the day. 1t would be well IL even
greater effort was made to publish
news of character which is credita-
BILE to the Negro, showing his devel-
opment as people along desirable
lines. This would stimulate him to
try to attain to a higher standard of
living"
