12O-ACRE FARM IN
CRISP DEVASTATED

CORDELE, August 29.-There Is
farm in Crisp county with 100
acres in cotton this season which
promises now not to be worth pick
ing at any time. One man made a
faithful effort in six acres of it
to find one boll-he failed. This
is in a farm, too. where a large
amount of money was spent in fer
tilizers and the work done with a
view of reaching the thirty-Gent
cotton price this fall. Now the mon
ey and the work are all a complete
loss and if cotton brought a dollar
and a half a pound there would
be none from this farm to sell.

DISARMAMENT
PEACE PLAN IS
At Tackled
English Writer Flags British
Labor Party's Proposal
as lmpracticable.
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON.
international News Service.

LONDON, Sept. international
disarmament does not necessarily
mean word peace, in the opinion
of F. Britten Austin, well-known
British novelist and publicist.
Austin, in an interview. strongly
attacked the contention of Ramsay
Mac Donald and other leaders of
the British Labor party, that 1abor's
plan to call a world conference to
discuss disarmament would avert
war. He scored the views of the
labor leaders as being fatal to the
maintenance Of the British empire.
Macdonald tells u.s." said Austin,
referring to recent speech in
parliament by the labor chieftain,
that we are threatened with an
other war. He tells US that the
Labor party, and only the Labor
party, knows how to avert this
war.
Moral Leadership.
THAT is very interesting state
ment and one waited with natural
Impotence for some hint on Mac
Donalds exclusive recipe. And this
Is what he said.
Patriotism is not enough. It
is quite true that the mere existence
of a nation might be kept by mill.
tary expenditure, but the mere ex.
Iistence Of a state Is not an end in
fitself. The existence OF a nation is
only justified in SO far as shat ma
ton means the moral and intel
lectual qualities OF its own people
and means a great moral lead to
the other nations of the world
Nov this" continued Austin,
P"if it means anything at all means
that the Labor party is nowise
concerned in keeping the Brit.
iSh nation in existence. Carried
logically a little further MacDon.
AIDS recipe for ayerting this terri
BILE and imminent war is not to
fight at all.
"It takes two parties to make
war. When one of them is unre-
sisting the result is called simply
a massacre. And If we should be
it will merely mean that
|our great moral lead to all the
other nations of the world was
somehow not moral enough.
Remedy to Disar7n.
Boiled down, the Labor party's
recipe for averting war is 'disarm.'
II you are not armed you cannot
fight. So there won't be a war.
There may be a massacre, but
emphaticaliy there won't be a war.
This recipe might make old
fashioned people a trif1e uneasy;
but Macdonald blandly assures us
that our continued existence is not
an end in itself, so why worry?
Now all this is very amusing.
but it is at the same time very
serious. In England today the
Labor party is the official opposi-
ton, and the essential quality of an
opposition is that it is both fit and
ready to provide an alternative
government. But il the Labor
party came into power and put
into practice the principles it so
loudly proclaims that would be an
unmitigated disaster. Quite a lot
of other nations respect our moral
qualities but not quite in the way
they respect a big gun"

quent lifts to New Orleans, from
where they took the water route to
Vera Cruz, and at that city, fearing
the sage brush and the cacti Of the
land of the Montezumas, they spent
all but Is cents of their remaining
capital for second-class passage to
Mexico City.
Here they made straightaway for
the office of the Excelsior, a news
paper printed there, and explained
their troubles to the editor. Under
the patronage of the entire staff
they were wed in the editorial
room, the ceremony being per-
formed by Judge Francesca A..
Rivera. A wedding feast was
spread and both bride and groom
solemnly promised that the first
boy should be given the name OF
the paper which had participated
so happily in the elimination Of
their romance.
Following the ceremony weigand
worked short time for the Mexi-
can newspaper, while his wife
wrote the story of their adventures.
Thus provided with capital, they
decided to return to the boyhood
home of the groom and end the
honeymoon here.
