MORE MEN THAN
JOBS, IS REPORT
Employment Agencies Say Work
Is Now Being Sought

Throughout the country reports
being made public by employment,
agencies indicated that jobs soon
will be scarce in cities.
Equalization of labor supply and
demand during the last week was re-
ported by the five employment Off
ces in New York City conducted by
the Salvation Army. For the first
time in two years as many men were
found seeking work, as there were
jobs available.
A feature of the week, a state
ment by the army said, was a fall
ing off in demand for unskilled wor-
kers. Previously there had been a
greater call for this class~ae labor
than for white collar" workers.
The report said it was altogether
possible that the near future would
see return of the condition where
there are more men than jobs.
William ]. Mckinley, supreme Sec
retary of the Knights af Columbus
after a three months survey OF
Knights of Columbus employment
bureaus warned young men from
agricultural districts to keep away
from the cities.
"Men are focking to New York
Chicago, Boston and other large
cities looking for employment" said
Mr.. Mckinley, "and hundreds OF
them are glad to accept meniai po-
sitions in hotels where at least their
meals are assured.
"The present fall in prices OF GER
tain commodities are being accom-
panied by fall in wages for certain
kinds of labor. Production has had
a decided drop in many big indus
tries and the supply Of help, especl'
ally of the semi-unskilled kind great
ly exceeds the demand.

RESERVE BANKS
TO help FARMERS
HOUSTON DENIES THAT HE
rs OPPOSED TO EXPORT
CORPORATION

Washington, Oct A. Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, issued a
statement tonight saying he had con-
ferred today with Secretary Hous-
ton and Governor Harding, of the
Federal Reserve Board, and had been
assured that the Federal Reserve
System would 'tlend all legitimate
aid in rediscounting the paper based
On cotton sent in by member banks"
The Senator's statement said his
conference had been prompted by con-
icting reports as to what had
{nnspired at a recent meeting be-
tween representatives of the American
Cotton Association and treasury f.
ricials. Governor Harding it added,
had reiterated to the Senator what
be saidato the cotton men, while Sec
retary Houston denied that he was
opposed to the formation of an ex-
port cotton association.
Demand for Credits
"It was stated, the statement
continued, "that there was an inordi-
nate demand for credits from prac-
Stically every line of business in "A
merica; that our export business was
being entirely financed by Ameri-
can credits on account of the unsat-
isfactory conditions of foreign ex-
change, these conditions resulting in
an unprecedented drain upon the f.
nancial resources of the country, the
Federal Reserve system included"
The senator suggested lower dis
count for farmers, owing to the time
required for production of market
able crop, and said Governor Hard
ing had promised to take the matter
under advisement.
'Iet the Southern banks and mer-
chants continue to cooperate with
the farmers as they have been doing
the senator's statement continued,
8 y the problem will be solved. The
g. needs every bale of cotton that
lis pKced and more. The South
should not 5e stampeded, but stead
fastly demand her price and get it."

FARMERS MEETING
LAST SATURDAY.
KNIGHTS OF THE SOIL HEAR IN
TERESTING ADDRESS BY
Mr.. G. A. CARDWELL

A fairly well attended meeting of
farmers, both white and colored.
was held at the courthouse last Satur-
day, pursuant to call previously pub
lished in The County Record.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. H. E. Montgomery. A short talk
was made by former County Agent
T. M. Cathcart, who was followed by
Mr.. G. A. Cardwelll, Agricultural and
Industrial agent of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Co., in a most timely
and interesting address, touching up
on matters which are or should be Of
vital Importance to the farmers Of this
section at this time. It is largely a
part of Mr.. Cardwells duty to keep
up with agricultural conditions over
the country, more especially those sec
tions through which the Atlantic
Coast Line operates, hence he is well
posted on agricultural matters and
knows whereof he speaks when he ad-
vises or addresses a body Of farmers.
We regret that we cannot give his
address here IN full, but owing to some
printshop difficulties, which are not
unusual these days of increasing rents,
high cost of living, scarcity of labor,
the boil weevil, low priced cotton, high
coal and none in sight, high salaries,
increasing phone rent, higher water
and light bills, and with everything
coming down, down down but qui--
inc pills and print paper. However,
if gasoline famine don't hit US next
week, and with the installation Of new
attachments to our linotype machine,
we expect to be able to give our farm
er readers Mr.. Cardwell's address in
full.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cardwell's
address meeting was held by the
farmers and committee appointed to
confer with the local ginners associa-
ton with a view to getting reduc-
ton of the toll now being charged
$3.50 the bale for ginning.
