CRISP REPLIES TO
ENGLISH MANS SLUR
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN SAYS
BRITISH COMMISSIONERS I'M
POLITIC IN STATEMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Repre-
sentative Charles r. Crisp, of Geor-
gia, member of the house ways and
means committee, which has Jurlsd1c-
ton over all legislation dealing with
foreign loans has made this reply to
Stanley Baldwin's slur on the Amer
lean congress:
81 think the statement of Mr.. Bald
win, TO say the least, was very lmpoll-
tic. He refers to congress as beng a
rural body; it was the same body that
levied taxes on the American people
and authorized ten thousand million
dollars OF the peoples money to be
loaned to the allies.
1T seems to me that if this rural
congress could levy taxes on our PEG
pie to raise the money to lend Great
Britain and other European govern
ments it is certainly competent and
has the right to pass on the question
of how this colossal sum is to be re-
paid. u,
''If the treasury department at the
time the loans were made had car
ried out what it was understood was
to- have been the policy to be pursued
if would have taken bonds of the al
lied governments bearing the same
rate of interest and of the same ma
turitv date as our bonds-and this
question of funding would not be. up,
as the debt already would have been
funded"

NIGHT RIDERS BEAT
FOUR AT BACONTON
WHITE MAN FLOGGED AND
NEGRO WOMAN AND chill
DREN BADLY WHIPPED.

BACONTON, Ga.-Two whippings
by mobs in two nights have greatly
aroused the Baconton community.
The first attack occurred Tuesday
night, when a party OF white men call
ed at the home of Timothy Wilson,
negro, on the Gill Grove pecan
place, and beat up his wife and chill
dren. According to the negro wo-
mans story the attackers, who were
not masked, asked for her husband,
and when she informed them that he
was not at home they beat her and
the children so severely that they re-
quired the services of a physician to
dress their wounds None of the mem
bers of the party were recognized.
Wednesday night similar party OF
white men, also unmasked called on
Bob Davis, white man, at his home
on the Jackson supply company'S
place, and gave him severe beating:
Davis also failed to recognize any OF
his attackers.
The town council has offered a re-
ward of 500 for the arrest of the ne
gro's assailants, and it is expected
that similar action will be taken IN
the case of the white man. The gov
ernor was also asked to supplement
the local reward.

GEORGIA LIVE STOCK
WORTH $780,
HORSES AND MULES GAIN IN
VALUE WHILE DAIRY COWS
SHOW A BIG LOSS.

Comparatively little change either
in numbers or value OF live stock is
indicated by the annual live stock in
ventory issued at the office of the u.
S. bureau of agricultural economics.
"Old Dobbin" is worth about sew
en- dollars more than he was year
ago. but there is a constant decline
in the number of horses, due to a
greater use of motor vehicles
The number OF mules is practically
the same as it was last year. On an
uary LIST the price of mules had be-
gun to pick up, and the estimated val
lie per head at that time was six dol
lars above the low point reached IN
1922, with the price rapidly rising.
Milk cows show drop of dollar
since the past season, and other cat
tie difference of only ten cents per
head from last year.
Dairy cattle have increased in num-
Der in the north central belt.
The value of sheep has followed
the ascending price of wool. Nothing,
however, seems to be able to check
the constant decrease in numbers, and
the industry has almost disappeared
except in the southern range section
The north central belt has taken a
great deal of interest in swine grow
ing during the past year, and there
are a great many more hogs in that
section. In the southern area, where
the major portion of the porkerS are
grown, more attention was devoted to
cotton this season, and there is prob
ably a smaller number there. The net
returns for the entire state show a
slight increase.

RUM FLEET BECOMES
MENACE TO SHIPPING
DARKENED VESSELS, LYING
AT NIGHT OFF SMILE LINZ
1T, ENDANGER LINERS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Darkened
ships, lying at night beyond the three
mile limit directly in the path OF in
coming liners, have become menace
to legitimate shipping, Captain ]. w.
Mckenzie, of the steamship Fort Vic
toria, declared on his arrival tonight.
He reported sighting group of YES

Gently supplied scores of motor boats
with cargoes of liquor.
There is great danger in the pres
ence of such fleet" said Captain Nc
Kenzie. For the vessels carry no
lights at night, as they probably are
seeking new locations or keeping I'M
der cover of darkness to avoid the
prohibition navy.
Last night binding storm made
navigation difficult and the danger was
increased by the fact that the booze
fleet could not be seen, although we
believed it to be there
"The feet has grown smaller since
went out last Wednesday" the cap
tain observed. AT that time there
were II schooners and one Canadian
ship of about 1000 tons. the latter an
chored about II miles off the light
ship. Today there seemed to be only
seven schooners and the steamship"

| arassed England Now
Must Worry About
Financing Duke of York
British Parliament Will Probably Be
Asked by King George to Grant
Annuity to Bridegroom.

The coming marriage OF the Duke
of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-
Lyon, daughter of the Earl of Strath-
more, brings before the British people
question which has not arisen in
many years, but which, in times past,
has been a point of difference, and
sometimes of bitter feeling, between
the crown and parliament This ques-
ton is the financing of a younger
member of the royal family.
The Prince of Wales has his own
estates, appertaining to his title. which
are sufficient for his support. Princess
Mary married one of the richest men
in the kingdom, Viscount Lascelles,
so there was no difficulty in her case.
The kings youngest sons in start
ing households of their own must
have subsidies appropriate to their
stations in life, and parliament either
must make grants for them or their
father must finance them from his
own fortune.
Custom forbids the kings sons to
work for a living. The Duke of York
has no great fortune of his own, nor
has his bride-to-be, whose family
wealth is mostly in castles and tradi-
tons, neither of which are market
able at present.

JOHN DIS. CLOSE PURSE
STRINGS TO THE DRYS
ANDERSON'S SPLIT COMMITS
SIONS TOO MUCH FOR ROCK
EFELLERS' GENEROSITY.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-John D.
Rockefeller, father and son, have with
drawn their financial support from the
Anti Saloon League OF New York;
Both ceased contributing several
months ago, it is asserted, after their
representatives were informed league
officials were splitting commissions on
contributions.
This became known today with the
appearance of Raymond d. Fosdlck,
representative of the Rockefellers, at
the district attorneys inquiry into the
financial affairs of William H. Ander-
son, state superintendent OF the
league. The Rockefellers had given
approximately 100000 to the New
York league.
The importance of the Rockefeller
detection, suspected for months but
not definitely established until today,
is almost greater i'll a moral than IN
a financial sense. The Rockefeller con-
tributions were, in effect, certificate
Of character and influence because of
the well-known care with which the
oil king and his son investigate every
application for money.
Had Given $350,000 in 1919.
The actual amount that they have
given in the past is not known, but
John D. Rockefeller, jr., is on record
as stating that in 1o18-19 he and his
father gave the league $4,000 and
that their total contributions up to
that time appropriated $350,000.
They contributed in 191o-20, and in
192O-2l and again last year. No con-
tribution has been made this year and
there is the best authority for stating
that none will be made.

TREMENDOUS SALES
MAIL ORDER HOUSE
TOTALS NEARLY IS MILLIONS
IN 1922. NET PROFITS OF
4,562,607 DOLLARS.

CHICAGO.-The American farmer
again is buying goods freely. Advanc-
ing prices for agricultural products
have improved his financial position
and his disposition to make purchases.
This is one of the illuminating feat
ures of the annual report OF Mont
gomery Ward & Co., the Chicago mail
order house. Furthermore, the COM
pany appears to have taken tull adj
vantage of the improved situation.
Net sales for 1922 we're $84,738,826,
an increase of nearly "a per cent over
1921. Net profits last year were 81
562,607. compared with an operating
loss of $9,8S7 1916 in 1921. The full
years dividends on the preferred stock
were paid and also the dividend in ar
rears from the last quarter OF 1921.
Arrears in sinking fund and other
charter requirements for 1921 and
1920 aggregating 100000 also were
cleared up from 1922 earnings.
After all these provisions there was
balance OF $2,717,98S for the class
A and common stocks, but this was
added to surplus.
Cumulative dividends in arrears on
the class A stock at the end OF 1927
totaled $3,22S,75O, or $1575 a share.
Current assets increased 1927, $40
over 1921, while current liabilities de-
clined $264, 400. The company has no
bank loans Working capital increas-
ed $3,562,036.

ness conditions were partly response
Bile for the increased volume Of sales"
President Merseles reports. During
the year we made over a 100000
new customers, which is good bar
ometer of the substantial increase in
the buying power developed in the
agricultural districts.
