INJURY THREATENED
COTTON GROWERS;
CLAYTON TO RESCUE
New Gin Box Regulation
May Not Be Enforced at
Once-WOuld Cost
Thousands
by G. Il. STEWART

Washington, September 1.-(Speciat)
Representative Clayton today received
the following telegram from j. Hooper
Adams, president OF the Selma cotton
exchange: ."The railroads and steam
ship companies after September / will
penalize cotton 81 per bale that comes
from a gin box larger than 27 by "a
inches. We think the country is not
yet prepared for the change by that
date. Unless something is done quick
ly this will cost farmers of the south
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Please ask the departments of COM
merce and agriculture to intereede with
the interstaae commerce commission,
and if possible have the enforcement
OF these rules postponed until Janu-
ary l, 1914; also have the proper au-
thorities send kilograms to every cot
ton ginner in the south urging them to
make their gin boxes 81 by 81 inches
to conform to the new regulations
Also ask interstate commerce commits
sion to urge upon railroads and ocean
in describing OH bill of ladins condi-
ton in which cotton is received which
might invalidate documents or prevent
ready negotiability of documents as
heretofore. Your prompt attention will
be appreciated
Telegraphs Hooper
Promptly upon receipt of this mes
sage Mr.. Clayton got busy. 1t was
not long before he was in touch with
number of senators from the cotton
growing states. This afternoon he sent
the following telegram to Mr.. Adams
at Selma:
''The cotton states senator's, held a
meeting today considered the pro-
posed penalizing of cotton bales larg-
er than % by 54 inches. Today is a
legal holiday and the departments are
closed; we have an engagement with
interstate commerce commission at $50
O'clock tomorrow morning, and with
the Secretary of Agriculture will use
every effort to avert the threatened
injury to our cotton growers"

Invited to Appear

Reviewing the various congressional
hearings and Investigations preceding
the drafting of the pending bill, the
senator declared that just four days
prior to the publication of the replies
to this newspaper inquiry the bankers
of the country had been invited to ap-
pear before the Senate committee on
September 2 and that they already had
been given four hearings before the
trainers of the bill. The propaganda
now being carried on, led by the Ma
tional City bank of New York, which
has circularized the country against
the BILL" concluded Senator Owen, is
obviously intended to discredit the adj
ministration and to make 1t appear
that the bankers have not been con-
suited and that the committee is not
we'll informed. Such Misrepresentation
will thus promote a private interest
gainst the public interest. 1t Is IN open
secret that these great concerns. like
Morgan & Co., have publicity agents
to whom they pay very large salaries
and who are able to create fictitious
and false public opinion undulv favor
able to the contentious of these. great
financial companies.

PARCELS POST PAYS.
Forty Million Packages Handled Bur
ing Month Of January.

Washington, ID. c., (Special.)-Ap-
rroximately 100000 parcel post
packages were handled during jan
uary. At the fifty largest p~ostofices
1885, 433 parcels we're handled in the
first month of the operation of the
new system, and the business of the
last two weeks exceeded that of the
first two weeks by more than 100000
packages.
Chicago exceeded all other cities in
the number of parcels handled, its to-
tai being 4,16S,152. New York handled
3,519,177, Atlanta 1873, 900, st. Paul 49,
056, New Orleans 166,391, Dallas $780,
200, Louisville 114,076, Richmond 100.-
900. Nashville 1920, Jacksonville,
AZ, 1868.
The present season is the dull one
in postofice business, but even if there
should be no increase in the parcel
post work about 500, 600, 200 parcels
would be handled during the first year.
Some postmasters estimate the first
years total will be 1000, 100000 pack
ages.
u From the more remote sections of
the country postmasters report mer-
chants are preparing to extend their
fields to the rural districts through
the new system, and farmers are pre-
pairing to send products to cities and
towns upon the opening of the spring
season.
The preliminary appropriation for
the establishment of the parcel post
has been exhausted and Postmaster
General Hitchcock today asked for an
additional appropriation of $750,O0O.

P MILK
May be Adopted in Cities for Sanitary
Reasons.

After several years of experiment,
expert machinists have succeeded in
developing an automatic machine
which will turn out, they claim, 10000
paper milk bottles per day. The in
vention promises to work a revolution
/ nthe milk trade, which ranks among
the great industries of this city. At
the recent hearing of the State food
commission it was shown that New
York and suburbs use around $780,
600 bottles of milk daily, in addition
to about $4,000 cans of 40 quarts each,
which are sold by milk stations.
The paper milk bottle promises to
be a great proposition since it will
solve a number of problems which
row confront that trade. One of these
problems is the sanitary advantage
which the single service package will
afford. The best devices for washing
and sterlizing glass milk bottles have
admittedly been a failure, since there
is no positive assurance to the con-
m that the bottle. has not at some
time been subject to contact with dis
ease germs. Every large milk distrib-
utter, whether a company or individual
is thus left entirely at the mercy of his

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
Some Happenings at State Capital the
Past Week.

Raleigh, N. c., (Spec1al.)-A mes,
sage from Governor Craig to the Gen,
eral Assembly reported the appoint
ment of Senator w. B. Council, Repre-
ESentative e. ]. Justice and N. B.
Broughton as the commission under
the joint resolution to confer with rail
road officials as to the possibility of
eliminating interstate freight rate dis
examinations against North Carolina
shipping points amicably and report
PACK to the legislature by February
25th.
The Senate has passed the joint res
olution from the House to increase the
number of judges, judicial districts
and solicitors from Is to 20 and tabled
d motion to reconsider, as did the
House, in order that the matter cannot
be re-opened or receded from during
this session.
The legislative fight over the allot-
ment of space in the splendid quarter
million dollar fre-proof State building
to be completed February 18th, began
with the introduction Of a joint reso-
luton by Dillinger for three Senators
and five Representatives to investigate
and report as to upsetting the a1lot-
ments OF State department quarters as
made by the State Building Commits:
sion and making room for the depart
ments of education ana insurance, es-
peciaIly possiblye by leaving the SUI
preme court in the present old quar-
tiers and cutting down the space, allot-
ted to the Historical Commission.
The House Committee on Constitu-
tional Amendments has decided to pro-
pose an amendment to. the joint reso-
luton, the ratification Of which is
pending, for the appointment of a COM
mission of five Senators, eight Repre-
~sentatives and five commissioners,
named by the Governor, to constitute
a commission to take in hand bills to
amend the constitution and formulate
proposed amendments to be reported
to an adjourned or special legislature
next fall.
The amendment suggested by Rep
resentative Page and just adopted by
the committee provides that the Gov
ernor. Speaker of the House and pres
ident of the Senate shall each nomi-
nate their respective number of the
commissioners and the nominations
can only be confirmed by the vote Of
two of the three. This agreement of
the committee is to be reported to the
House at once and the joint resolution
which has already passed both houses
amended before ratification.
The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tons decided to report favorably the
bill allowing $4,000 to the Corporation
Commission for use in the preparation
and prosecution of suits before the IN
ter-State Commerce Commission look
ing to a relief from the freight rate
Inequalities from which North Carolina
towns are suffering. The money is to

ment of freight rate experts.

In a prepared statement recently
Senator Til1man replied to the resOla-
ton recently adopted by the lower
house of the South Carolina 1egisla-
ture, calling on him for evidence b
support his charges of corruption IN
that body. He said he merely wrote
letter to Governor Blease during the
campaign in which he charged that the
legislature was being influenced by
railroad attorneys. He asserts that
this was a mere warning. He said he
would again make charges, unless the
legislature changed its ways. The
public morals Of South Carolina had
grown worse In the last ten years, he
declared.

their time whiting sticks and chew

ENGLAND TO USE U. S. AD
PLAN TO RECRUIT ARMY

In an effort to secure recruits for
military service. the British authori-
ties. it is learned, are seriously con-
sidering a systematic campaign of
advertising, setting forth the attract
tive side OF the service. 1t is under
stood that colored posters and adver-
tisements in magazines and newspa-
pers, such as have been used in this
country for the same purpose, will be
used. These methods of attracting
young men to the military service of
this country have been criticised at
times by members of congress on the
ground that the youth of this country
was being imposed upon.

ish authorities provides for the pay
ment of bonus to enlisted men who
wear their uniforms when visiting
