Rushing Cotton to
 Catch High Prices

Greenville September 2.--tSpecial) The ginning season has opened in Greenville and the high price that is being paid for cotton is causing the farmers to rush their cotton into Greenville to gin in order that they might sell at the prevailing good price, Most of the farmers will prob ably sell their cotton as it Is har- vested and if any cotton is held for better prices it will be the cotton brought over from previous years.
 The present price has caused busi- ness to take jump and conditions in Greenyille and. surrounding territory are considerably better than they were two weeks ago.
 The cotton crop will be consider ably shorter than was anticipated 10 dsys ago. The boll weevil has re- sumed his activities during the past wet spell and the crop as whole does not look as good.

HEATED DEBATE BY BAR ASSOCIATION
 OVER AR CONTROL
Report of Aviation Law Com mittee Finally Adopted, Leaves Legislation Ques-
 ton for Congress
By Associated Press

Cincinnati, September 2-Conflic. ing views on the power of the na tional government 10 control aero nautics caused heated debate before the convention of the American Bar association late today when the re- rort of the committee on the law of aviation was received and finally adopted after numerous substitute resolutions had failed.
 The report advocated that the Bar association give attention to *she fundamental problems of jurisprud- ence" without venturing into the field of practical aviation and lef, the question of legislation open to Congress. Legal questions involved in air legislation must first be de- cided before the details were settled the committee said.
 The proposition that it was an in- vasion of the rights of private own ership of property to utilize the air for flying was challenged by the re- port, which was presented by Charles A. Boston of New York, chairman of the committee.
 we submit that it should be the law that 1t is not an invasion of private rights if flight is accom- plished without jeopardizing any right usually enjoyed in the owner ship of land" the report said.
 yoicing strenuous objection to report which he said Heads no man anywhere" William V. Rocker of In dianapolis, declared adoption of the report would mean "20 years delay in one of the most important oues- tions before the American people. He contended that the atmosphere was common property and that its control was lodged in the admiralty.
 He offered a resolution stating the opinion that jurisdiction was lodged in the admiralty and providing for appointment of committee to give assistance to Congress in prepara- ton of bills conforming to that opin- ion.
 Resolution Defeated
 This resolution was later defeated after much debate.
 Mai. Jefferson Davis of Los An geles, former air service officer, raised strenuous objection to several features of the report which he de- clared would retard aviation for 10 years He disagreed with the opi1- ion of the committee that constr {. .tutional amendment might be neces- sary to enact proper legislation.
 Adoption of the international air navigation convention by the onited States was advocated by Major Davis adding that every big nation in the world had ratified it with exception of the United States.
 The incomplete nature of the rs- port left the committee with much work ahead and provision was made for the committees continuance dur ing the coming year.
 A few minor reports were heard and the convention adjourned to the annual dinner tonight, the conclud- ing function of the convention. Chief Justice Taft acted as toastmaster.
 C. A. severance of St. Paul, Minn., was elected president of the Amer ican Bar association today Fred erick E. wadhams of Albany, N. i, and A. Thomas Kemp of Baltimore, Md, were reelected secretary and treasurer, respectively.
