Georgia Peanut Coop
Plans "Victory Week.
Drive, May Is y

ALBANY, Ga, May 3.-PlanS are
being made by the Georgia Peanut
Growers Cooperative association for
a "Victory Week" drive from May
Is to May %, which the officers OF
the association hope will put every
county over that has not gone over
by that time and that will increase
the pledges in those that reach their
quotas by May Is.
Several counties have already
reached their minimum quotas Of 30
per cent of the 1922 acreage planted
to peanuts, and active work for pea
nut contracts is continuing through
out the twenty-five counties that
were selected as the basis of the or
ganization. By the end of the pres
ent week it is expected that several
others will have reached their mini
mum quotas.
The most recent county to report
lover the top" was Grady, which sent
in enough contracts to bring more
than so per cent of it's 1922 peanut
acreage under pledge to the coop
erative marketing organization.
Grady county will not stop here,
though, but will press on for a 100
per cent slgn-up, according to Coun-
ty Chairman T. M. Chastin.
Active work is being done this
week in Decatur, Crisp, Stewart,
Randolph, Brooks, Turner and Lee
counties.
Early county, which has a quota
second only to Mitchell, is gradually
increasing the number of acres pledg
ed in that county and will probably
be over the top in ten days or two
weeks.
Calhoun, already over the top, has
increased its margin above the so
per cent quota.
Active work is being done in
Thomas county as a, follow-up to the
series of school house meetings re.
Gently conducted there.
Contracts are daily coming in from
Mitchell, which has the handicap of
an unusually large quota, but it is
believed the minimum there will
soon be reached!

Two Richmond Farmers
In Duel Over Chickens,
One Killed; Other Jailed

AUGUSTA. Ga, May 3.-Tom
Dismuke, 82-year-old farmer, is
dead, and Lawson Goodwin, another
farmer of the Belair section of this
county, is in the Richmond county
Jail, having surrendered to Sheriff
Plunkett soon after he had shot his
neighbor in field near Dismuke's
home. 1t is said that there had
been ill feeling between the two
men for period of 10 years.
Wednesday Dismuke went into
the field to shoot some chickens,
and, after he had fired several
shots, Goodwin came out of his
home nearby. A warm disp 20 fol-
lowed, according to the sheriff, and
Goodwin went to his home to get
a gun. The men fired two shots
each, it is said, but only Dismuke
was hit, a load Of buckshot tearing
away part of his head. Goodwin
then walked into Stafford's store
and asked w. G. Martin to notify
the sheriff.

POINCARE CABINET
WILL not CONSIDER
TERMS FROM CUNO
Paris Holds Thirty Billion
Marks Far From Suffi-
Cient-No Basis Seen for
Joint Farley

PARIS, May 3.-By the Asso-
.ciated Press. French and Belgian
governments. after an exchange OF
informal views, are unanimous in
rejecting the new reparation pro-
posals put forward by Chancellor
Cuno, of Germany
The proposals are held to be so
inadequate as to offer not even a
basis for negotiations, first in view
of the lack of guarantees for pay
ment, and second because of the
smallness of the sum offered.
The Belgian ambassador, Baron DIS
Gaiffier d'Kestroy, called at the for
eign office this morning with his gov
ernment's decision, and the French
cabinet unanimously So declared
against the proposals within a few
moments after Premier Poincare had
read to the ministers his analysis Of
the note.
The procedure now, it is under
stood, will be for each government
to make its own reply, but they will
in effect be identical.

In referring the proposals to the

to the last gasp, which would mean
death to any reparatiOns.

til Ied, because we know thar if
our proposal is not accepted as a

is not aiming at reparations but at
annexation or destruction. The

esting itself.

ton: Does it want peace or a con,

Herr Cuno pointed ouu that Fay

would mean a yearly expenditure of
1,S00,000,000 gold marks. He feared

RUM FLEET FLEES
AF TER CUTTER USES
HER FOUR INCH GUN

NEW YORK, May 3.-The flight
of the Jersey rum fleet during the
night was believed to be due to the
action of the coast guard cutter
Seneca in sending a four-inch shot
across the bow of a small smuggling
craft to bring her to a halt
The Seneca opened fire yesterday
afternoon, it was announced today
at coast guard headquarters, after
two small runners, scooting along
between the fleet and the shore, had
ignored a signal to halt. Tha
Seneca, ordered by Washington to
join in the constanr patrol of the
fleet, mounts heavier guns than the
small cutters, and the boom of a
four-inch was said probably to have
struck fear in the hearts of the
fleet.
Both runners halted after the shot
had been fired.
Coast guard officers explained
that the regular procedure when
boat was to be stopped was to signal
with the whistle for her to lay to.
If the command was not obeyed, d
shot was sent across her bow.
According to the coast guard, sew
eral of the smaller cutters have fol
hi hut fI1n r1f
a heavier gun, with rumors of dras-
tic action against the fleet ordered
by Washington, led the fleet hastily
to withdraw in the belief that it was
being fired upon.
At coast guard headquarters it
was said the effect of the Seneca's
shot was electrical.
The yacht lister, hailing from Glas-
gov, and the tanker Warzawa, out
Of London, hastily steamed away,
and the coastguard said today the
fleet had been cut down to only a
few boats, which seemed preparing
to leave.
The cutters Manhattan and Gre5h
am today were patrolling the three
mile limit. Their commanders said
their instructions from Washington
had been use your own Judgment
and that Lieutenant Bernard H.
Camden, commanding the Seneca
evidently followed these instructions
when he fired his shot.
Men from the Seneca searched the
launches, but found no grounds on
which to hold the crews
