flying in the trial of John S, Williams,

(From Jno. r. Clark & Co.
by Abe SiIyer,)

Press news Is heavy and the London

ness and apprehension, showing that
tension over the strike and its politi-
cal aspect Is grave. The issue will be
decided today by the vote of the rail
road and transportation workers.
Our market opened about 20 down
but there were not many contracts
for sale and the opening was distinct
lively better than it might have been
ON the general news. The action of

out everything bearish is discounted in
the price and that speculation is rath-
er in receptive mood for construct
i've action on any encouragement, The
crisis must break soon and eliminate
the paralyzing uncertainty.

Greater Kindness
To Animals Planned

NEW YORK, April 6--Cattle suf-
fer mental anguish" when they see
one another slaughtered at abbattoirs,
according TO officials Of the American
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals, which soon will sponsor
legislation designed to have each an
imal killed outside the presence Of
others. Hogs, Sheep and other dumb
meat producers likewise are sensitive
to bloodshed and are terrorized by
such practices, the Society contends.
Among the reforms which the or
ganization will seek to effect by leg
islation is abolishing of the practice
Of Casting" animals before slaughter
This consists Of binding their hind
legs with rope or chain and then haul
ing them up with windlass so that
their head and foreparts suspend
downward. While dangling in this
position the throats Of the beasts are
cut, the Society asserts.
1t is argued that such practices
cause the animals to suffer and that
the only humane and proper way to
slaughter them is by first stunning
with a sledge hammer blow between
the eyes, causing instantaneous in
sensibility.

ported that quite q crowd Of out Of

GANIzATIoN PROPOSED
BY THE FARMERS OF
NORTHWEST.
Associated Press

CHICAGO, April g. Ratification
of a national cooperative grain mar

ton here today at conference Of
former representatives from the 25
important grain producing states of
the country.
Delegates 10 the meeting number

operative organizations.
"If the marketing plan and the re-
commendation Of the committee are
accepted by the conference, 1t will re-
suit in the immediate formation OF O
farmers national grain marketing
company" Mr.. Gustafson said. "The
hearty approval with which the plar
was received at the state meetings
indicates that several thousand ex'
isting cooperative elevators will al
once affiliate with the national grair
marketing company, so that it car
handle an appreciable part Of th'
| 1921 crop
aAlthough the committee of Sew
enteen is made up Of representative
from many different farmers organ
izations, who had been trying to sol
We the farmers marketing problems

THE ROTARY CLUB
ELECT OFFICERS
AT Their Regular Luncheon Last
Night. Was One Of Best Meet
ings In History of Club.

The Rotary Club had from a stand
point of pleasure, one Of the best
meetings last night in the history Of
the Club. The management Of the
Reiman House had left nothing un-
done to add to the pleasure Of the Ro-
tarians. The table was tastefully de-
corated with cut flowers, and ferns
A delightful lunch was served.
Mr.. R. v. Pollard, who was the re-
preventative of the Greenwood Club
at the meeting held in Hattiesburg
last week gave an interesting account
of his trip and stated that the Green
wood Club is one Of the liveliest In
the whole District. He came back
filled with Rotary spirit and 1t Is
very fitting that he made the trip in
view of the election Of officers which
came later in the evening,
This meeting was the regular meet
ing of the year for the election OF
officers. Nominations were made
from the floor and balloting secret
The result Of the election was fol
lows:
Mr.. R. V. Pollard, President; DIR
w. B. Dickins, Vice-President; Mr.
John Ashcraft, Secretary; Mr.. A
! Weller, Treasurer. Messrs. G. A
Wilson, Jr., and Robert Herman, d.
rectors.
By virtue of his office as Vice.
President Mr. w. M. Hammer VIII
also be a member of the Directors
for the ensuing year.
After the election of officers tn'
meetine was turned into story tell
inc contest with that good fellow
Robert Herman, as the star perform
er. Many and sundry were the Jokes
told and if there is any truth In tn'
saving "laugh and grow fat" the 10
tarians present will certainly gain :
few mounds in very short time, par
ticularly Mr.. Frank Wright OF tn
| Wright Ice & Coal Company.
The next meeting will be held mex
Tuesday at noon when the new Of
ficers will take their seats and judg
inc from men elected, the Common
wealth may safely say that Green
wood will expect much from the no
tary Club this year and might ad'
safely that there will be no disap
pointment.

OF
ACREAGE ACT
SELF-DEFENSE
SAYS YICE-PRESIDENT CLAI'
BORNE OF THE WHITNEY
CENTRAL NATIONAL
BANK OF NEW
ORLEANS.

WASHINGTON, April i-It was in
dicated at today's conference between
southern bankers and United States
treasury officials that relief for the
acute cotton situation may be at
tempted through the formation of an
export banking corporation under the
Webb Pomerene act, and with this
object in view a meeting Of southern
bankers and cotton men will be held
in New Orleans in the next few weeks,
"The problem of government today
is not one of regulation or COM
pulsion, but it is one of assistance to
people who will initiate helpful ac-
ton on their own part"
Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
meree, thus concluded an opening ad-
dress this morning before the confer
ence.
Previously Mr.. Hoover, who met
with members of the finance corpo-
ration and secretary Mellon, in greet
ing the southern bankers called to
Washington by the Treasury Depart
ment, had suggested that there were
three acts of Congress whereunder
the federal government might give as
sistance to agriculture in its present
crisis, He referred to the Edge law
for the creation of export banks, the
Webb-Pomerene law permitting the
formation Of export associations, and
the law creating the war finance cor
poration.
Mr.. Claiborne, vice president of the
Whitney Central Bank Of New Or
leans, was the first banker to address
the conference.
"With 3,000,000-bale crop this
year., said Mr.. Claiborne, "and the
carryover of seven or eight millions
1t win mean 21,Q00,O 900 bales Of cottor
on hand this year. This is far above
the demand and will be an absolute
calamity to the south. The produe
ton Of such crop would be ruinous
As a banker, ! believe it is the dut!
Of bankers to advise our customers
that they cannot spend our money ant
their time in producing something
that means great loss. If it were
shoe manufacturer wanting none,
you would not lend 1t TO him il yot
knew he would lose money on his ven
ture.
"a cotton crop of q 100000 bale
this year counting new and carry
over cotton, means a price Of z or
cents a pound and possibly reviva
of the buy a bale movement Of Di4
"This government should lend an
take a stand to see that cotton is no
produced at q price that means ealam
ity to a great section of the country
the south"
Mr.. Claiborne said this was not Il
the interest Of keeping high pric
on cotton, but was a self-defense ac
tion. because a big crop means within
the next few months prices far beloy
10 cents per pound, and that oyerpro
duction was the great danger con
fronting the country in this period o
worldwide reduction in consumption
demands.

Notes On Mandates To
Foreign Governments

WASHINGTON, April 8 - New
notes on mandates have been sent
by the American government to Ja-
pan, France, Great Britain and Italy.
The occasion for preparing the notes
is said to be the receipt Of Japan's
reply to the original American note
protesting against the Japanese man
dates over former German Islands In
the Pacific. The State Department
refuses TO discuss the documents.
