GEORGIA BANKERS
INDORSE MOVE
FORLESSCOTTON

Endorsement Of the south-wide
proposal for curtailnent of the
1921 cotton crop, abandonment OF
the April group meetings and the
formulating of preliminary arrange
ments for the annual state conven-
ton of the Georgia Bankers asso-
citation featured the midwinter meet
ing Of the executive council of the
association at Augusta Wednesday.
The annual state convention will be
held at Augusta April and 8, and
arrangements have been made with
the Bon Air hotel and the Partridge
inn to entertain the delegates.
The necessity of holding the an
nual convention earlier .than usual
moved the executive council to sane
ton an abandonment of the April
group meetings, which heretofore
have preceded the state convention.
1t has been the custom in the past
for the several groups to meet in
consecutive succession. The annual
convention in April will make this
impossible, and it is the announced
nope of the executive council that
the group chairmen will arrange for
group conferences either before or
after the state convention.
The executive council received and
lnoorsed the report of j. w. Vaughan,
associations agricultural committee.
concerning the action of the Mem
PMS cotton conference that devised
ana agreed upon plans for curtailine
ana regulating the cotton production
Inc Endorsement of the executive
committee was expressed in the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Inc executive council of the Geor-
ga bankers association, in session
appreciates that the most importa Mt
oollgatlon and duty upon the bankers
OF the state is to finance and assist
the farmers and tenants of the state
IN the productIo nof the crops for
ISzl; that the extraordinary amount
o. creolt reourses heretofore required
Tor the purchase of food for man and
beast must be eliminated, by changed
methods in growing these as far as
possible, thereby sustaining our
selves.
1--WE believe it should be the motto
and plan Of Georgia farmers and
bankers to make Georgia a produc-
ing, selling state While we recog-
nize that cotton will always be the
chief cash crop of Georgia, we fully
appreciate there must be a radical
reduction of the cotton acreage for
1921, as the present world supply of
cotton is enormous and the worlds
markets have been able to absorb
only. a part. Of the 1920 rop at prizes
far below the ost Of prodution. We
are in sympathy with the objets of
the various otton areage reKution
movements, and urge hte immediate
cooperation of the banks, merhants
and farmers of eah ounty, community
and section, that they get together
and devise such plans from these
various suggestions as will hastily
bring about permanent as we'll as
temporary relief.
1--WE recommend that eah commu-
nifty in the cotton section become
self-sustaining in the matter of food
and feed production-that there be
a uniform cotton acreage reduction
of at least so per cent Of that planted
in 1920, or to one-third of the total
areage that is. OF be in atual ult1-

GEORGIAG.O.
PLANS TO GUST
CHAIRMANGOREE

On Friday at ~ o'clock the Repub-
lican state GENITAL committee for
Georgia will meet at the colored Odd
Fellows hall on Auburn avenue in
response to a call issued without the
authority of C. p. Goree, chairman of
the committee, for the purpose of de-
manding Chairman Goree's resigna-
ton and an accounting by him for
the funds alleged to have been col
lected in Georgia for campaign pur-
poses.
According to statements by va
rious members of the committee, the
meeting is the result Of the FAC
tional controversy that has been in
progress within the Republican party
in Georgia for mal.y years. the lily
whites" and the "black and tans," as
they have been more or less face
t:ously designated, have been al
swords points ever since the attempt
ed reorganization of the party in this
state, while the factions as original
1y constituted also have been torn by
internal dissensions resulting in fur
Their sub-factional divisions.
John w. Martin, who opposed Con-
gresham w. d. Upshaw for re-elec-
ton in the last general election, is
on Thursday he declared that C0air-
man Goree and Vice Chairman M
H. Karnes collected an unknown
amount of money for campaign pur-
poses, but did not turn over SIN
gle penny to him as treasurer. The
meeting Friday will inquire into he
disposition of these funds and will
demand that answer be made to
charges that Mr.. Goree has failed t
perform his duty, it is asserted
The call for the special meeting
was issued by Henry H. Pace, d
negro claiming Atlanta as his home
but living in New York City. He is
secretary of the committee. 1t was
a matter of doubt Thursday whether
Chairman Goree would preside at the
meeting, or whether he would attend

The specific charges against
Messrs Goree and Karnes are:
Failure to comply with instruc-
tons of the state convention; eff
cial Misrepresentation; failure to
properly account for funds collected
in the name of the party; false pre-
tense in soliciting funds"
G. w. Mcclure, a member Of the

CAROLINA BUDGET
CARRIES TOTAL
OF $7,111,688.88

COLUMBIA, Jan. 20,-In the re-
port of the state budget commission,
delivered to the general assembly by
Governor Cooper, he recommends a |
tions to carry the departments, in
situations and activities of the state
government through the year 1921.
There were requests aggregating So
06,806.59.
The general appropriation bill for
1920 carried a total of $6,097,141.39.
The more than $4,000 pruned from
the requests by the governor repre-
sents mostly new buildings and re-
quests for other permanent improve
ments.
In his letter submitting the budget,
the governor said, among other
things:
"In 1919 the legislature enacted
preparation and review of estimates
for expenditure and revenue and a
budget system for all state expendi-
lures. This act is undoubtedly prov
ing itself to be one, of the wisest
pieces of FINANCIAL 9d legislation tia that
ues, and I believe that the members
of the general assembly will be in
terested to know the extent to which
we have developed the budget sys-
authorities on budget making. In
1919 the Detroit bureau of govern.
ment research made a survey Of
our budget system and reported that
the investigation discloses that in
every respect in the present stage
of completion of the budget, the
procedure is in accord with the
terms of the budget act and the best
practice in budget making. Griffen-
hagen and Associates, Ltd, efficiency
engineers and accountants, Of Chi
cago, in a special report on our sys-
tenn, dated October Is, 1920, states
that South Carolina is far In ad-
vance of most states in it's acceptance
of the budget idea and the state OF
development to which it has brought
| it's BUDGET procedure.' The law puts
into effective operation the practical
| intent of that section of the const1-
tuition which requires that the gov
ernor shall give the general assem-.
bly, information of the condition or
| the state and recommend for its con-
| sideration such measures as he snail
| deem necessary or expedient.' While
the budget system has been in opera
| ton only one year, the fiscal year
1920 has been closed with the result
Of an unusually satisfactory condl-
| ton of the treasury. The 1921 bud
| get does not contain single request

upon to appropriate for DEFICIENCIES

Man Is Bound Over
For Attempted Arson,
= Waving Preliminary

A. Abraham, proprietor Of a shoe
store at 307 Peachtree street, waived
examination in the recorders court
Wednesday afternoon and was bound
over to the superior court in $4,000
bond on a charge of attempted ar
son. Attorney Claude D. Rowe
counsel for the defendant, told the
court that his client was tool of
others. There were brains behind
his actions" Mr.. Rowe said.
Abraham was charged with having
poured a quantity of gasoline over
the stock of his store and was
about to set fire to the stock when
he was stopped by detectives who
had been given "tip" of the pro-
posed action and had secreted them
selves in the store. Fire Chief Cody
said that many people were living
in the building over the store and
had the man carried out his inten-
tions, he said, the entire block would
have been wrapped in flames and
many lives would have been endan-
gered.
Abraham is foreigner and speaks
with foreign accent. He made no
statement to the court. At the time
he leased the building for a shoe
sore it was said he gave his name
as Abraham Amelch. He was ar
