are given to handle. Members of
the committee say that 1t is out Of
the question for fifty per cent of the
fixed price of the tobacco to be ad-

advance money on the tobacco not
sold can probably be persuaded to
advance half of. the average price
paid during the first week of sales
this year. The average for the first
week was s6.73 on all grades. 1t is
expected that at least 100000

SQDel PEACE PRIZE
Z PRESENTED TO WILSON
In Accepting, the President Says
Work For Peace Is
Only Begun

New York, Dec. 1O.-Award of
the Nobel Peace Prize today to
PRESIDENT Wilson "as the person
VINO has promoted most or best the
fraternity of nations and the abilish-
ment or dimunition of standing ar
mics, and the formation and in
crease of peace congresses" marks
the sixteenth bestowal of the gift
of the Sweden inventor of dynamite.
Alfred B. Nobel, whose name it
bears.
President Wilson is the third
American to receive the peace price.
the others being Theodore Roose-
welt and Elihu Root.
Vast Work Ahead, Says Wilson
President Wilson. in his letter ac-
septing the prize, which was read
today at the presentation ceremon-
les at Christiania, said that if this
were the last peace prize to be Of
fered he could not accept it "for
mankind had not yet been rid of
the unspeakable horror of war" In
the years to come. the president
added, there will be abundant op-
portunity for others to distinguish
themselves in the crusade against
hate and fear and war"
IN accepting the honor of your
award said the presidents letter,
y am moved not only by a pro-
found gratitude for the recognition
sof my earnest efforts in the cause of
peace, but also by a very poignant
humility before the vastness of the
wcck still called for by this cause.
May l not take this occasion to
express my respect for the far
sighted wisdom of the founder in
arranging for a continuing system
of awards? If there were but one
such prize, or if this were to be the
last. l could not of course accept
it. For mankind has not yet been
ird of the unspeakable horror of
war. | am convinced that our gen
Grafton has, despite its wounds,
made notable progress. But it is
the better part of wisdom TO con-
slider our work as only begun. 1t
will be continuing labor. In the
indefinite course of years before us
there will be abundant opportunity
for others to distinguish themselves
in the crusade against hate and fear
and war.
There is, indeed, a peculiar fit
ness in the grouping of these nobel
awards. The cause of peace and
the cause of truth are of one family.
Even as those who love science and
devote their lives to physics or
chemistry, even as those who would
create new and brighter ideals for
in literature. even so with
those who love peace, there is no
limit set. Whatever has been ac-
in the past is petty COM
pared to the glory and promise or
the future"

COTTON ACREAGE
MUST BE REDUCED
So Says Commissioner Harris in
Statement-Conven in Mem
phis Set Plan on Foot That
Will Save South

Commissioner Harris has returned
to his office from attendance upon
two conventions and conferences OF
more than usual Importance and sig
nifcance at this time. The first OF
these was the meeting in Chicago
Of the National Association of Com
missioners of Agriculture. Sub
sequently he attended in Memphis q
meeting of commissioners of agricul-
ture and directors of market bureaus
of the Southern states.
In Chicago Commissioner Harris
attended the great annual cattle
show and he was pleased with the
fine showing made by farm animals
from the South. Mr.. Harris also at
tended the national convention of
managers of state fairs.
There were delegates from az
states at the meeting of commits
sioners in Chicago. Mr.. Harris says
that the sessions were given over
strictly to business and that this was
= meeting whose effects will be felt.
He found encouragement in local
trials and difficulties by comparing
the situation here with that of the
people of other states. He found
that defation and depression are af-
fecting not the South alone, but all
Of the AZ states represented at the
meeting. All reports along the same
lines. A banker from Minnesota
made the public statement that that
state is in a serious predicament.
The meeting in Memphis was an
occasion of great earnestness and en-
thusiasm, Mr.. Harris reports. Real
forward, constructive ideas were put
on foot. The meeting of Sou, lern
commissioners of agriculture was
merged into a great cotton confer
ence, attended by more than 1000
members, representing IL cotton
growing states, Commissioner Harris
reports that this meeting took a very
firm and positive stand on the ques.
ton of cotton acreage reduction.
'This is the only method of relief
that we can see," said Mr.. Harris.
Must Reduce Acreage.
@Now we have tried in other years
to get farmers to reduce their cot
ton acreage, and only with partial
success and sometimes with no sue.
cess at all, but I believe we have a
new ally in this fight, one that will
be a gerat help in cutting the acre
age. I refer to the banks and bank
ers- At the Memphis meeting we
took a hand primarily of the bankers
present and they pledged themselves
to a man to let the farmers have ad-

vances for only a portion of their
cotton acreage next year.
"It seems to- me that will be a
very effective aid in reducing the
cotton acreage. If the farmers can't
borrow the money for their entire
acreage in cotton, public sentiment
would not permit them to take ad-
vantage of the less fortunate finan-
cial condition of their neighbors.
"Now wish to urge upon the peo-
pie of outh Carolina farmers, bus
iness men and bankers, to stand firm
in this acreage reduction fight. 1t
means the salvation of the South. If
other states go through with the pro-
gram, we owe it to them to be faith
full.
81 wish to see those same pledges
circulated and signed by farmers,
merchants and bankers of this state,
Under the resolution adopted, with
full understanding of their meaning,
the Memphis convention set up the
objective to produce half as much
cotton and to use but one-third of
his cultivated land for growing cot
ton. This will produce sufficient
amount of cotton to meet the de-
mands of the consur'er and will en-
able the farmer to put himself in a
secure position for the future by
growing food and feed.
Produce Food.
"Some at the convention expressed
the fear that there would be a sur
plus of food and no demand for it.
Better that than a surplus of cotton.
We can not force the world to-. buy
cotton, buttthe world must eat. 1t
is better to. have surplus Of. food
than no food at all. If we do not
produce our food and feed we will
have to buy it-and with a full crop
Of cotton at low prices where would
our money come from?
"That matter is merely a question
of marketing. And marketing is a
proposition upon which our people
are 100 years behind. There is yet
nearly a year in which we can be
building up machinery of a market
ing system, to carry the surplus of
the farms to our cities. For we must
strengthen our marketing system
and the people in our cities must be
fed-either by us or by the farmers
of other parts of the country.
GAS sure as shooting, if we plant
for surplus of cotton next year, we
will get hurt. I want the farmers to
remember this, for when the price of
cotton advances in the spring, as I
believe it will, many of our farmers
lay think that it will do no harm to
slip in few more acres of cotton. I
give warning now that if such a
course is pursued it will defeat the
objective of the great Memphis con-
vention."
