8 JUDGES TO DECIDE
FATE OF FARM BANK
SUPREME COURT OF U. S. HAS
BEEN DIVIDED ON CUES
TON. TO COME UP AGAIN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The fate
of Uncle Sans farm loan bank sys-
tenn rests today in the hands of eight
men, justices of the United States SUI
preme court
The outcome hangs in the main on
their decision of the following ques-
tons:
/. Are the farm loan banks really
banks, doing an actual banking bust
ness, and therefore, a proper part OF
the governments financial system, or
are they simply an agency for loaning
money at law rates of interest to farm
ers, improperly masquerading as
"banks?"
2. Is any public purpose, within the
meaning of the constitution, served by
the operation of such "banks?"
3. Do federal loans to farmers,
through the farm loan system constr
tute class aid in that they benefit farm
ers only, or are they of general public
benefit by the stimulus they give to
agriculture and the production of food
stuffs?
4. Is the relation of an agency to
loan money to farmers justified under
the powers of appropriation granted
congress by the constitution?
Private banking interests maintain
that the whole farm loan act is I'M
constitutional and indefensible and a
transgression of all the rights and priv
ileges reserved to the state and to in
dividuals under the constitution.
Court Divided.
They argued their case before the
supreme court eight months ago and
the court, it is understood, split to
on a decision, Justice Brandeis not
having participated in the hearings. A
reargument was asked by the court
and was heard October IA and Is.
In the meantime, because OF the
cloud cast on the bonds of the system
by the pending litigation, it was i'm
possible to market these securities, and
the whole farm loan machinery was
brought virtually to a standstill.
Through a new line of argument de-
vetoped by former Supreme Court
Justice Charles E. Hughes, pleading
the case of the farm loan banks be-
fore the court, hopes for verdict sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the fed
eral farm loan banks have consider
ably frightened.
Hughes argued that: If congress has
the power to appropriate money di-
rectly as a gift to assist agriculture, ii
logically follows that it has power to
advance money for the same purpose
as a loan. If congress can appropriate
money for the farmer it can raise that
money through the treasury by the
sale of ordinary government bonds.
This angle OF attack rather stumped
attorneys for the private banks, who
protested vehemently that Judge
Hughes had sprung something new
and never heard before, something that
he had not advanced at the prior ar
gument of the case and had even failed
to incorporate in his revised brief.

munity upon its ear. Though illiterate
he is gifted with the power of elo-
quence-the power to sway strong
men off their feet His success is due
to his striking personality, his simple
faith, and his knowledge of the hearts
and minds of the mountain folks. He

Through the preaching of Atkins the
revenue men have been relieved of a
very troublesome district, in which
their efforts for months had gone to
naught, and had cost the lives of sew
eral officers. AT present the mountain
country is said to be free from the IL
licit distilling Of whisky for the first
time since the early pioneers of North
Carolina settled there.

is an old line republican. 1t was Mr..
Willis at Chicago who said "come on
boys, let's nominate Harding" and
this was typical of his good natured
way about things.
The defeat of Senator Charles S.
Thomas, of Colorado, will remove one
of the ADLER men of the senate.
Senator Thomas made several no.
table speeches in the past session urg-
ing retrenchment of government ex-
penditures and warning that tax
ridden public might be pushed too
far. He denounced the bonus as I'M
necessary and economically unwise.
He will be succeeded by Sam N. Mich
olson, republican.
Changes in House.
Over on the house side there have
also been changes of extraordinary in
terest. Returns tell of the defeat of
Champ Clark, of Missouri, who was
almost nominated for the presidency
at Baltimore in 1912. Mr.. Clark, who
has been a member of congress since
1897, went downu nder the republican
avalanche
The landslide which took Tennessee
into the republican column and broke
the solid south" carried to defeat
Representative John A. Moon, of that
state. Judge Moon, with the exception
of one term, has been in the house
since 1897. Fore some years, he was
chairman of the postoffices and post
roads committee. He is man of the
"old southern school" type, well-liked
on both sides of the chamber, an en-
ergetic and at times acrimonious de-
batter, and a veteran whose exit will
bring regrets to many republicans as
we'll as democrats.
King Swope, the first veteran of the
world war elected to congress, has
been defeated in Louisville after serv-
ing only few months in the house.
In the San Antonio, Texas, district
Congressman Carlos Bee was defeated,
his republican opponent receiving a
majority of 5000. Congressman Bee
is a brother-in-law of Postmaster
General Burleson.
A number of veterans were re-elect-
ed, including Speaker Gillett, now
serving his fifteenth term.
Former Speaker Cannon, who has
served twenty-five terms, also was re-
elected, as were Representative Mann,
of Illinois, former republican leader;
Chairman Good, of the appropriations
committee, and other prominent COM
mittee chairmen.

MEADE COTTON IS GROWN
IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA
Lint From Dougherty Farm Is Worth
62Il Cents a Pound.

ALBANY, Ga.-Meade cotton, the
long staple product developed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, can be grown successfully in this
section. This was demonstrated on the
Artesia farms, twelve miles IRON, Al
bany, where 80 bales have just been
gathered from a 200-acre tract, accord
ing to J. E Heidi, vice president and
general manager of the former COM
pany. The Artesia company has re
ceived an offer of 621z cents pound
for the cotton, or $3l2.50 a bale. This
would make the lint alone bring $25,-
000 In addition, the $4,000 pounds OF
seed are worth rs cents pound, or
$4,000, making gross return OF $45,-
900 from 200 acres, if the cotton should
be sold at the present quotation, which
Mr.. Heidi regards too low. Some fig
ure Meade cotton should be sold for

self never to speak again, spent his
first day free man after rs years in
Charlestown state prison, still refusing
to break his silence.
Even though he experienced the
thrill of lifetime he kept his strange
pledge. His first automobile ride, his
first sight of an electric car and his
reunion with his family failed to bring
a word from his lips.
He was visibly affected by the ap
pearance of Boston as he rode to the
state house in Warden Shattuck's au

brought not word from his lips-on-

Even at his sisters home he contin-

of the family begged him to speak.
