BIBB DEPUTIES ARE
SUSPE NDED BY BOARD
Men Accused of Lack of Activ-
ity During FIogging Investi-
cations Laid OFF

MACON, Oct. 3.-Charles L.
Bowden and Wise Birdsen, coun-
ty motorcycle officers, were sus-
pended yesterday by the board of
{ ssses ifFftty commissioners pending an
investigation of their alleged lack
Of activity as members of the sher-
ifs force during the recent flog-
ging investigations and the trials of
DR.. G. A. Yarbrough, local dentist.
The vote of the commissioners for
suspension was to /.
Both the officers were before
the commissioners yesterday morning
and were preceded by Sheriff ].
R. Hicks, Jr., NJ. o. Duning, chief
of staff of the Georgia Ku Klux
Khan, and Investigator Simpson,
who figured prominently in the re-
cent trial of DIR. Yarbrough.
Sheriff Hicks outlined his action
tc the commissioners and announc-
&c that he would not have the men
working under him. It was explain
ed that the county motorcycle Off
Gers were hired by the county on
the recommendation of the sheriff,
but worked out of the sheriff's Of
fee. While suspended from the
sheriff's office the men were EN-
ployed by the county until their
suspension yesterday morning.
Mr.. Hicks in his talk to the com
missioners told them it was the
lack Of cooperation and the fric.
tion caused in the office that had
forced him to take the steps he had.

CLOSING ACCOUNTS OF
FAIR ASS0CIAT 10 \
Henry Everett and George 0.
Marshall Trying to Get in
Last Payments

eve hope to close every account
of the Fair Association this week. q
said Henry Everett. secretary Of
the Chamber of Commerce this
morning. fThere will be a deficit IN
the account and this must be taken
care of, too. The probable amount
of this deficit now appears to be
several hund1ed dollars, but there
are some collections 10 he made
from ADVERTISERS in the catalogue
that may reduce this a little. Only
a few of these advertisers have
failed as yet to pay their accounts
and we will call upon all of these
without delay.
"The fair this year was the big
gest and best yet staged in Ameri-
Gus, the promoters of the enterprise
being unusually successful in Sc
curing free acts of real merit, while
the exhibits all REFLECTED gener-
Ously the interest taken in the fair
by residents of the various com
munities. Next year, of course, we
hope to excel even the splendid
attendance secured during the fair.
the benefit of which is already
manifest in inquiries received at
my office. If Sumter county will
only tell the WORLD what we are
able to raise here, there will be no
trouble in disposing of these prod
ucts.
"The fair just closed brought to
Americas and Sumter county thou
sands of dollars worth Of advertis
ing that could not have been Sc
cured in any other way, and the
fair certainly should be maintained
here as permanent annual occa-
sion. In order to do this, however.
there must be a way devised to
make the fair sustaining and one
way to encourage the promoters is
by paying promptly all that is due
the association. With this done this
year all of the bills of the associa-
ton will be disposed of within the
week, and creditors who are now
asking payment satisfied in full"

resident of East Americas school
zone, stated that neither he nor
Mrs. Jones had asked any favorit-
ism in assignments, but that he
preferred his children attending
Furlow school, inasmuch as this
school is located close to his place

convenient for hi INTO cary them

board went into executive session.

10 Quit Jan. 1

Washington, Oct. I. - Colonel
George Harvey. ambassador 10 Great
Britain. is 10 return 10 America next
month on leave OF absence, and the
understanding here II that his resig.
nation will become effective about
Jan. I.
There have been reports that
Colonel Harvey would retire 10 take
charge OF the campaign OF President
Coolidge for the presidential nomina-
ton. II In understood there IL no
basis for such statements other than
the expectation that Colonel Harvey
will have an active part In the cam
paien next year and probably will DE-
vote his time TO furthering the poll
teal fortunes OF Mr.. Coolidge.
Not New Decision
The course OF Colonel Harvey'in de-
terminins TO retire from his diploma
tic post Is not consequence OF the
change of administration. according
to men In position TO know the
situation. II Ia represented that prior
to President Harding's death Colonel
Harvey had made known that he
would be unable TO remain In LorADn
as ambassador and that Mr.. Harding
had been given consideration 10 the
selection OF successor. Colonel Har-
vey's wish to become private citizen
is said to be due to the feeling that
he should give more attention to his
private business affairs, and to real
ization of the high cost OF ambassa-
dorial living in London. Nothing has
appcsred III the information obtained
by those close to officaldom here to
indicate that Colonel Harvey is dis
satisfied in any way with the Coolidge
administration, or has any other rea-
sons for desiring to quit the diplo-
matte service than those stated.
It was Colonel .Harvey's intention.
when he left the United States re-
Gently, to return to Thu country early
in November. and tender his resigna-
ton formally while here. There has
been some obstacle to this plan and
it is now likely that he will not ar
rive In America until later in that |
with the possibility that he
may not get back until near the end
of the year.
Possible Successors
Several men prominent in the party. !
and some of them close to the adj
have been informed of |
the intention of Colonel Harvey and
there are indications that suggestions
of names have already been made to
President Coolidge in connection with
The choice of SUCCESSOR. In the list
from which the president may be ex-
pected to make his selection are
'ound the name of John Hays Ham
nond chairman of the Federal coal
commission James NJ. Beck, solicitor
general Frank A. Munsel; Paul d.
cravath of New York; Henry p.
Fletcher, now ambassador to Bel
GUM, and Charles b. Warren, former
ambassador to Japan. 1t is said that
friends of one or two of these men
are already active in their behalf.
