THIEVES MADE AWAY
 WITH HAPSBURG JEWELS

ENEVA, March 50. "A swindle without precedent,' is the final yer, dict just pronounced by the Federal Court of Geneva in trying to account for ne disappearance of the priceless crown jewels of the Hapsburg dyi asty.
 How they were stolen under the p' e. text of sale from a nobleman to whom | the eX-Emperor had entrusted them l just before he made his last attempt to regain the throne, has come out in the court to which the distracted Elm press turned in hope of recovering some of the gems.
 The heirlooms are priceless. The value of one mollion pounds placed upon them is only nominal, and prob ably represents only about 60 per cent of their value. One matchess diadem with four of the only eight pink dia monds known to exist.
 Charles carried the jewels in a spe- cial case, and they accompanied him on his wanderings. When he entered the airplane which was to take the ex- Empress and himself to Budapest, he Baron Steiner. When the attempt to regain the throne failed and the royal couple was exiled to Madeira credi- tors descended upon Baron Steiner.
 He thought of the jewels and, ob taining permission from an aunt of Charles to dispose of them, he opened negotiations with a trio of interna- tional jewellers. On their agreement to buy the jewels, and giving 300,O00 france on account, he allowed them to be taken.
 All the Baron knows is that they were taken over the frontier from Switzerland, and he has never seen them or a sou of the balance of the money since. The jewellers at first claimed that they had been cheated by "go-betweens."
 What the loss meant to the ex- Emperor may be imagined when it is said that at the time of his exile, they were his only source of income. Charles, with this increased worry, and also the knowledge that Zita was again to become mother tramped hatless and haggard over the hills at Madeira. His hair turned white, he contracted pneumonia, and died within few weeks.
 Thus the jewels of the Hapsburgs added another victim to their probably already large number.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-30

And then there are others who are not definitely allied with any group, but who may be requisitioned as can- didates. There is Roberto V. Pes queira, who represented the Obregon government at Washingtond uring the early stages of the recognition nego- tiations. Senor Pesqueira is close to the present government and is known as a broad gauge man who might fit in well to break the recognition dead lock. There is also Eduardo Iturbide, grand nephew of Emperor Iturbide of Mexico. He is a sound business man, sane in his political convictions, allied with no particular group, and well thought of by all here. He also has certain standing in the United States due to his position as counsellor to Secretary de la Huerta during the debt negotiations last summer. Felix r. Palavicini, editor of Fl Universal, also has been mentioned as possible civilian candidate as opposed to the military.
 Emeterio de la Garza already has formerly announced himself from Ha- vana as a presidential candidate, say ing that Mexico needs a Messiah and that he proposes to be cast in that role. His antecedents, however, are not such as to lend seriousness to his announcement. It is also assumed that Senor Miranda Zuniga, peren- nial candidate, who has contested in every election since the early days of the Diaz regime, will again enter him. self.
 Issues and platforms have never in- truded much in Mexican politics, where the contest is largely personal. In a general way, relations with the United States will figure in party dec larations, with constitutional reforms, particularly in regard to Article 27 and the agrarian law, as points of dis cussion.

Plea to GeOrgians
Begs Them to Aid
Fish Preservation

An appeal to citizens of Geor-
gia to cooperate with the depart
ment of game and fish to preserve
the fish of Georgia was issued
Saturday by j. Frank Rhodes,
state commissioner of game and
fish.
He called particular attention
to the Georgia law prohibiting
the use of nets, seines, traps or
other devices Except hook and
line) for catching fish between
Feb. | and July l.
He also called attention to a
statute prohibiting the use Of
such devices throughout the year
from shutdown on Fridays to sun
rise on Mondays to catch shad.
The object of this statute, it
was explained by Commissioner
Rhodes, is to break up seining
parties organized at week ends
to make wholesale hauls of shad
in south Georgia streams, where
this species of fish comes up in
to fresh water to spawn.
The commissioners statement,
warning citizens that unless the
fish laws are enforced there will
soon he no fish in Georgia stream
is as follows:
LET us save the fish!
II desire to call the attention
of the people of the inland coun-
ties of the state to the advantage
of their cooperating with this
department in the enforcement
of the act of the general assem-
bly, of Georgia which prohibits
the use of nets. seines, traps, or
any plan or device for the stopp-
age or collection of fish, from
Feb. l to July 1. All of these
devices must be removed from all
creeks, streams and inland wa
tiers of the state.

The Country
Newspaper

The country newspaper man
dislikes 10 blow his own Horne,
probably does not do it enough
for his own benefit. He is so busy
footing away for the welfare and
progress of his home community
that he has not much time left in
which to think up plans for the
benefit of his own business.
His home folks will forgive him
if once in awhile he states his
ambitions for his sheet, tells
what he wants it to be, outlines
the service he desires to render,
and states what he believes with
proper cooperation his newspa-
per could do for his community.
The country newspaper, it
handled right, should be a power
full force to inspire the people OF
it's home town to work for pro-
gressive measures. Also in SO
far as it makes a creditable and
L
wide awake appearance, it
spreads abroad the impression
that the town is an advancing
place. The country newspaper
is the home towns best adver-
tisement.
The Macon County Citizen will
print in a few succeeding issues a
brief statement of the ideals tits
trying to exemplify, and the SER
vice it feels that such sheet
may be able to render. 1t will
try to tell what it means to have
a bright and newsy sheet printed
as an exponent of the life OF
Oglethorpe.

Underwood
for President?

Suggestion of the name of U.
S. Senator Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency
has found very generous approval
throughout the entire country,
particularly in the South, accord
ing to Georgia political leaders.
Mr.. Underwood is a Southerner
to be sure. His grandfather was
a United States Senator from
Kentucky, as he himself is a
Senator from Alabama. Yet Mr.,
Underwood, by virtue of his long
service in Congress, has become
a national figure, and sectional
antipathy would cut less figure
with the voters Of the country in
his case than in that of perhaps
any other man from the South.
Two years ago the Democratic
defeat was of such a nature that
it amounted to a disaster that
looked very much like the party's
extinction. Yet today, the party
with a resiliency almost unparal-
leIed, has managed to resume it's
armor of battle, reports state,
and is ready to enter the big
fight, confident almost to the
point of certainty.
There may come to the front
more than one man. At the same
time right now the name of
Underwood is impressive and will
give to other candidates consid-
cradle anxiety.

Peanut Association
Makes Plans for Big
Volunteer Week Drive

Albany, Ga, April 4. With the
preliminary work out of the way,
the Georgia Peanut Growers Coop
erative Association began this week
determined and concentrated efforts
to sign up so per cent of the 1928
acreage of peanuts in the % counties
comprising the territory of the asso-
ciatiun. With. the field forces OF
the association active in many coun-
ties heretofore unvisited, it is expec-
ted that every county $ organization
will be brought into a state of pre-
paredness that will enable it to put
over its contract quota with mimi
mum of paid workers, if indeed ,
not entirely by volunteer efforts.
Col. R. e. L. Spence. chairman Of
the executive committee and of the
organization committee, has set his
heart on doing with this association
something no big co operative ever
did-complete the organization
without any paid workers.
During this week, officers OF the
association, county Chairmen and
representatives of the State Bureau
of Markets are signing contracts i'll
every part Of the associations terri
tory, and with every contract signed,
if possible, they are obtaining a
signed pledge from the grow er to
sign at least one other man to a
contract.

citation to put over the minimum
quota for that county. Volunteers
are now signing agreements IN large
numbers to put their services at the
disposal of their respective county
Chairmen for at least two days during
that week. Automobiles are being
lined up for use Of the workers, and
it is believed that there will not tie
an unsigned grower in the 25 coun-
ties who will not be visited that week.

Delegation From
Leesburg Visits
Ashburn

who went to Ashburn to investigate
and see just what the people in Tur.
ner County were doing towards
Investigation and cooperative
marketing as you seen considerable
in the papers as to what Turner Co.
was doing along this line, these men
report that nothing has been over
estimated and it is q revelation togo
and see Just what they are doing.
The real motive in this trip was
to get ideas and start something like
this in Lee county, we need coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce, farm
demonstration, and a cooperative
marketing system whereby our peo-
pie can raise any quantity OF farm
produce and, after this is done, get
a decent price for it.
1 am thoroughly convinced this
can be done if our people put the
vigor behind it that they should, |
am informed by some of these men
who went to Ashburn that they
found the people there raising chick
ems in any quantities, one man ship
ped on the day this delegation was
there five hundred chickens at an
average of two pounds piece at
thirty eight cents a pound, the
Ashburn people have an association
who handles this stuff and the pro-
ducer found a ready market for his
produce. They also have cream
cry and ship any quantity Of butter.
The farmers and business men Of
Lee county should wake up to the
situation and call mass meeting
Immediately and formulate some
plans of this kind and encourage
the people to diversity and have a
market for their produce when it is
ready to be sold.
Lee county is one of the best
counties in the state. 40 far as pro-
duction is concerned and the thing
wee need to do is to wake up and
get busy. AS a citizen of the coun-
~ I stand ready to put forth every
effort can along this line.
Statistics show there is only five
chickens to every man, woman and
child in the United States, this is
indeed very small amount when
we take into consideration the num-
Der OF chickens we country folks eat
during a year, and we can readily
realize that some of our city friends
are not eating as many chickens dur
ing the year as we ourselves are.
In 1921 there were $40. 900, 10000, 50
chickens raised in America and in
1922 543 900, 900, so you will OBJ
serve from this we are making some
progress but there is room for more,
the average price is IS cents, and
this should ut least make it attrac-
tive to the growers.
The eggs sold in America last
year produced $500, 900, 900, which
consisted of 62.365. 900 dozen,
| would say some eggs, how many
Of these did the Lee county people
put on the market. These figures
are worth thought and l firmly be.
lieve if our farmers would diversity
and put as much energy behind
other things as they do lie raising o.
cotton with cooperative market
system it would only be a matter o.
few years when we would have
one OF the richest county's in tn,
