SAYS RESERVE BANKS
WILL HELP FARMERS
Secretary Houston Denies That He liz.
Opposed to Export Corporation

Washington, Oct. 4.-Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, issued a
statement tonight saying he had con
ferred today with Secretary Houston
and Governor Harding, Of the Fed.
eal Reserve Board, and had been.
assured that the Federal Reserve
oyestem would lend all deitigate aid
IN reuiscounting the paper based On.
cotton sent in by member banks"
The senator's statement said his
conference had been prompted BY
conflicting reports as to what had
transpired at recent meeting De
tween representatives of the Amera-
can Cotton Association and treasury
officials. Governor Harding, it add
ed, had reiterated to the senator
what he said to the cotton men, while
Secretary Houston denied that he wass
opposed to the formation of an ex-
port corporation by the cotton asse-
citation.
1T was stated" the statement con-
tinued, that there was an lnorol-'
nate demand for credits from practi-
cally every line of business in Amer-'
ica; that op~ 5sart business was be-
ing ep> iced by American
credits on account of the unsatisfae-
tory conditions Of foreign exchange,
these conditions resulting in an un-
precedented drain upon the financtaA
resources of the country, the Federal
Reserve system included"
Senator Smith suggested a lower
discount rate for farmers owing 10
the time required for production OK
marketable crop and said Cover
nor Harding had promised to take
the matter under advisement.
Let the southern banks and meS-
charts continue to cooperate Sith
the farmers as they have been doing,
the senator's statement continued
''and the problems will be solved
The world needs every bale OF cotton
that is produced and more. The

THREE NEGROES
LYNCHED BY MOB

Charged With Completely in Murder
OF Well Known Young White
Farmer.
MacClenny, Fla, Oct. 5.-Three
negroes, Rayfield Givens, Ben Givens
and Fulton Smith, charged with be-
ing implicated in the murder OF John
Harvey, well known young farmer OF
Baker county, last Saturday night
were taken from the Baker county
Jail by a band of armed men at
O'Clock this morning and lynched.
The negroes were removed to the
outskirts of MacClenny, tied to trees
anu shot to death. 1t is stated there
were about SO men in the band
which suddenly appeared at the
county jail, overpowered Sheriff
Sweat, secured his keys and re
moved the negroes from the Jail.
Jim Givens, the negro charged
with actually firing the shots which
killed Mr. Harvey escaped immediate
ly after the shooting and is still al
large. Posses are on his trail and
it Is believed his capture is only a
matter or hours.
Harvey was shot to death al
Knabbs Turpentine camp, about II
miles northeast of MacClenny, Sat.
urday night.
Following the killing the negroes
escaped but three of them were cap
tured and lodged in the MacClenny
county Jail. Although feeling rar
| high against the blacks, it was moi
! thought that any attempt would be
made 10 lynch them as the negro
charged with the actual killing way
still at large.
However, Sheriff Sweat was awak'
ened at l a. III. today and ordered tC
turn his keys over to the half hun
dred men who surrounded the Jail
The sheriff demurred, but was quick
ly overpowered and the negroes
taken from the Jail.
They were conveyed out on the
road towards Glen st. Marys and in
plain view of the highway were sum
marily dealt with. Immediately after
the lynching the band dispersed, and
left three bodies tied to three trees
Sam Duncan, another negro, was
found shot to death in MacClenny
later in the day. This made the
fourth death in connection with the
murder of Harvey. 1t is not known
whether Duncan was implicated IN
the murder.
MacClenny was quiet tonight and
no further trouble is expected unless
Jim Givens is apprehended.

cotton is an export crop such of it as
is sold abroad fixes the price at
home.
am still firmly of opinion that we
will never be able to feel secure
against hostile manipulation until
each state has its own warehouse
sales and financial system. Events
as l see them. are rapidly justifying
this belief, and further will say that
it ought not to be very difficult
undertaking to bring about COM
plete realization of the idea. Georgia,
North Carolina, Louisiana and Texas
all now have laws modelled after the
South Carolina laws, and it should be
but a comparatively easy task to bring
these separate systems into one COM
prehensive irresistible consolidation.
Yours truly,

COUNTY FAIR OPENS
OCTOBER 10TH
Everything Ready for the Opening O
County's First Fair Tuesday, th'

Everything Ready for the Opening OF
County's First Fair Tuesday, the
10th.
Promptly at o'clock Tuesday
morning, October 10th, the gates to
the Fair Grounds will be thrown
open to the public and Dillon Coun-
tys first fair will be under way. The
buildings have been completed, space
has been allotted to exhibitors and
everything is in readiness for holding
a most successful opening fair.
Judge Joe Cabell Davis has just
returned from Norfolk where he made
arrangements with one Of the largest
carnival companies in the country to
exhibit at Dillon during fair week.
Judge Davis says this will be the
largest carnival that ever visited this
section Of the state. The company
has Just closed an engagement with
the Norfolk fair and all the attrac-
tions the company had at Norfolk will
be brought to Dillon.
brought to Dillon.
There will be two free acts daily,
one in the morning ana tne otner 10
the afternoon. These free acts will
be given in front Of the grand stand.
The hour at which they will be given
will be announced by crler in the
mornings and afternoons.
In addition to the other features
which will usually 60 with county
fairs, there will be horse racing every
afternoon during the week. The Dill
lon Fair has been placed on the cir
cult for this state and North Carolina
and a big bunch Of horses will be on
hand.
The prospects for a most success
full week are very encouraging. Ex-
hiblts are being received every day
and the indications are the buildings
will be full on the opening day.
A full program will be announced
next week.

week.
In view of the public's Tightening
of its purse-strings, the recession in
general business and the downward
trend in steel, rubber and other ma
terials, the slashing of prices for au-
tomobiles by Henry Ford and one
or two other manufacturers ought to
have been expected.
Price Cutting Notices in Order
In the same way, the price-cuttlng
statements issued by the largest
mail-order houses were absolutely in
order at this time, for the extent OF
the readjustment which has been TAX
ing place in raw materials and in
trade conditions has been very sub
stantial, as these specimen cuts an
nounced by julius Rosenwald, head
of the country's largest mall-order
house, reflect: STANDARD percale,
from 40 cents a yard to 19 cents;
silk taffeta, from $2.57 a yard to
s1.48; sheeting from 27 cents to IS;
muslin from 35 cents to Is; flannel,
from 43 cents to 20; gingham, from
80 cents to %; overalls, from $3.50
to s1.48; women's shoes, from $4.9S
to $3.98; Ford size automobile tires.
from $3.50 to s13.45."
Will there be more price-cutting?
Certainly there will. There are
still a great many lines of goods that
have been maintained on a wartime
rather than on a peace time basis.
Each and every one Of them must
inevitably find a more normal level
helmU along by the transformation
underway in our foreign trade inflow
and outflow.
The outlook is for a period Of
price uncertainty and timid buying.
Merchants are always more eager to
buy in a rising than in falling mar
ket. Moreover, consumers o in an

PRICES AS GOOD
AS LAST YEAR
urg Exchange Saws:

The Laurinburg Exchange says:
If there is anybody who is blue
about the present price Of cotton
they will do well to remember the
prices paid last fall. Here are the
actual figures for the local market
last year: September 20, 1919, .2S
cents; September 2, 1919, % 1-16
cents; September Is, 1919, 81 cents.
1t is also fact that considerable cot
ton was sold on contract in 1919 at
prices ranging from 21 to 33 cents a
pound. This year most Of the con-
tract prices range round 35 cents a
pound. The cotton market has not
collapsed yet. About thousand
bales have been marketed here this
month and the movement is gaining
in volume daily.

DHLoN's CENSUS DISAPPOINTING

There is keen disappointment over
the bureaus announcement that Dill
Ion has only 2,205 citizens. In 1910
the census gave Dillon 1887, and the
gain of only 448 citizens not only is
disappointing but surprising to many
who have kept up with the towns
growth. There seem to be almost
twice as many store buildings in Dill
Ion today as there were in 1910 and
a conservative estimate places the in
crease in the number of houses at
one-third. In addition to this the
corporate limits have been extended
and therefore the actual gain in popu-
lation is very small. The census does
not take in the mill villages, which
have population of about 1000.

The first beet-sugar factory was
opened in Germany in 1901. but the
industry did not make much progress
until the Napoleonic wars, when the
British navy cut off the overseas
shipments of sugar and the continen-
tai countries were obliged TO look
about for another source of supply.
BY 1880 the beet-sugar industry had
got a firm hold.
