GOVERNOR COX has become tire
some with his constant representa-
tion Of the charge that the Republic
cans have a "slush fund" OF Is mil
lion dollars to elect Harding. He has
never offered any proof to substan-
tate his claims, but he will now be
given an opportunity to prove his
claims or stand convicted Of being
peddler Of gossip and scandal Com
ing from q candidate who owes his
nomination to the most vicious ma
chine elements in the Democratic par
ty, like Tammany and the old Roger
Sullivan outfit Of Illinois, elements
which have never hesitated to shake
down every plum on the corporation
and office holding tree each election,
unsupported charges Of this kind are
hardly becoming. i ID rather dis
tressing to people Of good taste to
ass the course Mr.. Cox has bsen
pursuing recently Glong the lines Of
vituperation and denunciation. His
speeches In the last few weeks have
smacked more Of petty precinct mud
slinging than Of statesmanship.
They have neither the tone nor the
outlook usually found In the utter
ances Of candidates for president.
No demagogue has ever reached that
office and never will unlesE the Amer
lean people greatly deteriorate in in
telligence. The Ohio governor should
not let his anxiety over the dark
Democratic situation run away with
his Judgment.

SEABOARD WRECKS.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway had
two bad freight train wrecks last
week. One was just this side of At.
lanta, and happened Thursday. The
other wreck was between Elbertor
and Berkeley, Ga. Fifteen cars were
overturned in the one and fourteen
in the other. Passenger trains were
greatly delayed by the wrecks, which
tore up the tracks for considerable
distance in each case. The morning
through train passing here at 3:37
was detoured Saturday from Elber
ton over the Southern by way of Toe
Goa, reaching Atlanta at 8 o'clock ir
the afternoon Saturday instead of al
8:15 in the morning.

J. T. PEARSON IN TOWN

Mr.. James r. Pearson Of Ander-
SON was visiting friends in town
yesterday. He has recently returned
from California, where he went to
investigate "a; cotton picker
patented by a, Californian. He is
very enthusiastic over it believing it
will solve the labor problem for ga
thering the cotton crop of the fu-
ture in the South, and hopes to be
ready to demonstrate the working of
the machine through South Caro-
lima, this fall and have the machine
put on the market before next years
crop is ready. He will return to Cali
fornia in May, where he expects to
make his home for the future. Mrs.
Pearson and daughter have remain
ed in Paradise, Cal.

THE COTTON MARKET

After receding about lao points
Saturday and Fridays close, the cot
ton market today was off again. De.
cember futures in New York closed
at 1870 against 1850 Saturday.
Spots in New York were down fifty
points, the price quoted being
2O!50 against 21.O0 for Saturday. In
New Orleans the loss was $50
points. r., !
The best cotton on the local mar
ket today brought 20 cents. Later in
the day cotton was weak anl sold
down below this figure.
The loss in price is due to several
things. The statement of the FEEDER
al Reserve Board given out late Sat
urday was considered unfavorable
to agricultural interests. The Brit
ish coal strike became a reality, and
with it threats Of a general tie-up
of the transportation system in Eng
land and Scotland. ~ T..
All of this leaves the South as its
own prop to sustain prices. Unless
the bans of the South and the farm
ing and. business interests can save
the cotton market, lower prices seem
inevitable. .
The holding movement is helping
to sustain prices somewhat. If this
shall become more general, or if a
killing. frost should occur shortly,
the chances are that the South
would be in better shape to sustain
itself. "n...

such operations produce conditions
retarding the developing of the coun-
try and endangering the stability of
It's business. Corporations, individuals
and investors generally are drawn
away from legitimate investments in
rev enterprises by the prospect of
10 per cent. to 20 per cent. interest.
"The effect of these rates is seen
when the general managers of execu-
tives of railroads or other large cor
porations visit New York, to raise
money necessary for the redemption
of retiring loans or for the extension
and promotion of new business. The
bankers and bond houses solemnly
point to the high rates paid for "call
money and corporations whose cred
it abundantly justified 5 per cent.
or 6 per cent interest basis, have been
forced to pay 7 per cent. or per
cent. or 10 per cent. on loans for one
year, three years or five to ten years;
and are sometimes persuaded by the
bankers through whom they obtain
the funds that they are doing we'll to
get money even on such terms, be-
cause money on call has been raised
often artifcially, to IL to 20 per cent.
The same cause that cripples and
hampers a great railroad system or a
municipal government also deprives
and Injuries or ruins a conutry store
keeper, a small farmer or the owner
of a large or little manufacturing en-
terprise.

CREDITS At BANKS
ALWAYS AVAILABLE
DECLARATION MADE THAT
RECENT DISTURBANCE IN
PRICE AND DEMAND ARE IN.
EVITABLE AND UNAVOIO-
ABLE CONSEQUENCES OF
ECONOMIC DERANGEMENTS
OF WAR

Washington, Oct. 16.-Bank
credit "has been steadily available
for the successive seasonal require
ments of agriculture" according to
formal statement issued tonight
by federal reserve board designed
as a>reply to agricultural organiza-
tions which appealed to the govern
ment this week for further exten-
sion of agricultural credit.
Recent disturbances in price and
demand which have been manifest
in agricultural markets are "inevi-
table and unavoidable consequences
of the economic arrangements oc-
casioned by the word war; the
boards statement said. It added,
however, that the, gradual and regu-
lar movement. of the crops from
producers to consumers was to be
expected. j.
''In view Of the representations
which have recently been made to
the board as to unavailability of
credit in agricultural sections" the
statement said, 'the board request
ed information concerning credit
conditions throughout the country
from the chairmen' and governors Of
the federal reserve banks at their
usual autumn conference here this
week. i .. ..-... ,
Steps Of Last Spring ....
"The board is advised that credit
has been steadily available for the
successive seasonal requirements Of
Agriculture well as for the needs
of commerce and indutry and that
there is no ground for expecting
that it's availability for these pur-
poses will not continue. The present
improved credit situation is due in
part to the timely steps taken last
spring, following conference be-
tween the board and governors and
directors of federal reserve banks to
provide credit for crop moving re-
quirements and in part to the subse-
quent improvement in transporta-
ton reported from all districts ex-
cept in a few localities.
Between ,Januay 2 and October
1, of the present year about 800
leading member banks from all sec
tions of the country which report
their condition to the board weekly,
and which represent approximately
10 per cent. of the member bank re-
sources have increased their loans
for agricultural, industrial and COM

ABBEVILLE LOSES THE
GAME TO CREENVILLE
j. w. Mckee SUFFERS LOSS

The friends in Abbeville of ]. W.
Mckee, Jr., will be sorry to learn
that the show rooms of Mckee Mo-
tors Company, of Atlanta, were: in
vaded by\fire Saturday night and
about fifty-two cars were entirely
consumed by this element. Most Of
the cars owned by the company
were stored in the rear part of the
building and all of these were de-
stroyed. About eight cars in the
show room in front were saved by
quick work of firemen.
The fire occurred at IL o'clock
Saturday night. when first seen the
entire inside of the building was a
mass of flames. The fireman re-
sponded promptly, six fire COM
panies turning out to fight the
fire, and due to their work the
building and adjoining buildings
were saved from complete destruc-
ton.
The Mckee Motors Company oc-
cupied large new building on
Peachtree Street in Atlanta. A rep
resentative of the Press and Banner
visited the scene of the fire Sunday
afternoon and viewed the wreck.
John W. Mckee, Jr., was not in At
lanta at the time of the fire, being
in Chicago at the time and very i'll.
Jessie Mckee was in Atlanta, but
was out at the time our representa-
tive visited the scene. The loss is
stated to have been from S25, 1000 to
$5O,00O. Whether or not twas
covered by insurance has not been
learned.

UNUSUALLY STRONG TEAM
FROM MOUNTAIN CITY SCORE
FIRST VICTORY OVER LOCAL
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM THIS SEA-
SON-ABBEVHLE GREATLY
oUTWEIGHED AND OUTCLASS-
ED BY MoUNTAINEERS.

OUTWEIGHED AND OUTCLASS-
ED BY MoUNTAINEERs.
Greenville's fast high school eleven
Friday defeated the Abbeville high
school team to the tune of At to 0.
The local team was greatly outweigh
ed and somewhat outclassed in that
they were playing against the strong
est team in upper South Carolina and
from a city high school which has
enrolled twice as many boys as the
'Abbeville high school enrolment OF
both boys and girls.
It would be useless to attempt to
make excuses for the local teams del
feat by the sturdy Mountaineers for
the latter We're simply older, heavier
and more experienced football play
ers than the locals. This defeat should
have no discouraging features for the
plucky Abbeville team. On the other
hand the Abbeville boys learned
points of advantage by playing a.
eainst coach Holmes aggregation.
In only the third quarter did the
visitors fail to score and the piling
up was done in the first and fourth
quarters. Greenville's coach stated
that the Abbeville team put the
best defensive playing and tackllng
that his team has been up against
and the coach was very generous IN
his praise of the excellent work OF
Tate and Hutie Bradley. Immediate
" after the game the visiting coach
caught hold of Hutie and gave him a
vigorous handshake at the same time
saying, 81 know this does not mean
anything to you, boy, but / will feel
better for having shook hands with
such splendid tackler of such light
weight"
Billy Long at quarter also played
an excellent game and never failed
to cheer his team when the odds were
so against them and he kept con-
tinuous fight going to score against
the visitors. Both Mr.. Holmes, the
coach and Prof. Warren, the princi-
pal, complimented the plaing of the
Abbeville team as whole and pre-
dicted several future college stars
among the eleven. The visitors were
also appreciative of the hospitable
treatment accorded their team both
on the field and after the game. The
girls of the high school rendered the
Greenville visitors a delightful recep-
ton at the home of Misses Mary and
Jeansie White Friday evening which
was largely attended by the high
school students. As one present SAID,
"The Abbeville boys just stood a.
round looking pretty, while Greenville
boys took charge of the young la
dies"
Abbeville will play return game
with Greenville in Greenville next
fall and will be able to put up much
letter fight as the local team will
probably lose only one player next
season, Tate being the only player in
the eleventh grade this year. The
boys are already talking of getting
Greenville's blood next fall and are
accepting their defeat of Friday
gracefully.
