Inns, who lives on Mr.. Campbell

That he whipped her again after she

she had some pains Saturday morn
ing and miscarried Saturday night.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Reqaests
of the American Cotton association
fo- governmental aid in financing the
marketing of the cotton crop Of the
South were denied today by Cover
nor Harding Of the federal reserve
board.
The representatives of the assoc:a-
tion asked extension Of credit on cot
ton loans estimated at approximately
S5O0,OOO, 900 in order to permit
growers to hold their cotton and pre-
vent dumping on the market at
loss.
The solution of the problem facing
Southern cotton producers, Governor
Harding said, lies with the producers
themselves and in their home banks.
"Go back home and tell the people
to Quit talking calamity" the gov
ernor declared, suggesting that the
cotton men sell their high grade stock
to meet demands as they arise, which
would enable them to gradually l.qul-
date their debts, and hold their low
grade cotton for better market.
The federal reserve board is keen
" alive in the Importance of doing
everything to sustain agriculture in
all sections of the country, the gov
ernor told the associate members,
but he added that the board was not
authorized to deal in prices, though
it's action might. have an effect upon
them. Recent estimates Of the value
of this years staple crop are ST.
600, 100000, the governor stated, and
expansion of credit to assist pro-
ducers in all parts Of the country
would mean about s3,o00,00o,oo0 in
loans.
After the conference J. S. Wanna
maker Of St. Matthews, S. c., presl-
dert Of the association, issued
statement, which said:
Governor Harding this morning
stated 70 a committee Of the Ameri-
can Cotton association that the fed
eral reserve system is prepared for
such credit expansion as may be nee
essary to move the crops, and called
attention to the desirability Of the
formation of an export corporation
by Southern cotton interests"

Head.
. Fl. MCGOWAN in The State.

P. H. MCGOWAN in The State.
Washington, Sept. 15.-Realizing
the seriousness Of the situation, J.
S. Wannamaker, president of the
American Cotton association, with
former Governor Manning, Senator
Dial and former Congressman A. F.
Lever Of South Carolina and more
than so members of the association
residing in the different cotton grow
ing states, today conferred with W.
P. G. Harding, governor Of the fed
eral reserve beard, relative to taking
care of the cotton situation.
The entire membership of the as
sociation has for some time past real
lied that unless something could be
done to take. care of the present sit
uation, with big crop coming On the
market and the surplus Of about g.
100000 bales of last years crop still
ON hand, there would necessarily be
a very low price for this years crop.
After today's conference with Gov
ernor. Harding the situation seemed
to be we'll in Inland. Governor Hard
ing in his remarks TO the committee
this morning assured them that he
realized the seriousness Of the sit1a-
ton that he had been in touch With
the Washington representatives CT
foreign governments who want our
cotton, and that it never will be the
policy of the federal reserve board to
restrict credit on agricultural pro-
ducts. It was the concensus of opln-
ion at the conclusion OF Governor
Harding's remarks that much Ct the
misapprehension existing with re-
gard to the policy Of the board had
been dispelled and it seemed 10 be
the opinion Of the members Of the as
sociation that business in all lines
would now rebound.
The leaders in the cotton as-oc:a-
ton, after they heard Governor Har-
ling. seemed to be well satisfied
with the situation, especially regard
ing the policy of the federal re-
serve board, as stated by him, not to
restrict agricultural credit.

the county. Appieby has a lead of
three votes over Hutto and it is prob
able that the official count will be
necessary to determine the results.
With one precinct missing, Clayton
has lead of SO votes over Fender

sioner and coroner returns at this
time are not sufficient to determine
the results. There was over 100

Largest Enrolment Yet-Need More

dren-Formal Exercises
High School.

The. city schools have the largest
enrolment ye+. The need of the
money recently voted for enlarge
ment is apparent but on account OF
the money market the bonds voted
have not been sold and on account
of the high price of everything it is
a bad thing to try to do ,nuca build
ing.
The building will he pat up as soon
as it can be done to the advantage
of all concerned.
The schools are at work and the
teachers in their places though it IS
possible that there will be need OF
additional teachers in some CT the
grades as they are too large for the
teachers now doing the WORK.
There will be formal exercises at
the high school this ,aorning at $40
when the pastors Of the town and
some others will be asked to speak
few words to pupils and teachers.
The patrons and friends of the school
are invited to be present and Super
intendent Cannon and the teachers
and the children will be glad to see
you.
The Mollohon mill, Mr.. George W.
Summer, president, is building "a
handsome brick veneer school house
with auditorium on the second tioor
which will equal any school house IN
the state and will be great help to
the school and encouragement to the
children.
Col. w. H. Hunt, president of Oak
land, has near completion a similar
building in all respects except that
it has no brick veneer but is very
handsome school building.
It is pleasing to see these progress
sive mill presidents doing so much
for the education of the children IN
their communities.
