SOUTHERN BANKERS INDORSE PLAN FOR
 EXPORT FINANCING
Rx Assnciated Press

New York, July 1S.-Representa- five southern bankers have indorsed the plan of the war finance corpo- ration to provide financing for cot ton exports in addition to that avail able through regular banking chan nels. it was announced tonight by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the war finance corporation.
 Their approval was contained in answers to questionnaires sent out bv a committee recently appointed by President Harding. Beside Mir Meyer the committee comprises secretaries Mellon and Hoover. Spot and export dealers in cotton also have concurred in the opinion of the bankers, MT Meyer said.
 The War Finance corporation has announced an agreement to provide financing for 100000 bales of long staple cotton in the Mississippi delta region. It now expects to care for the export of twice that number.
 "The cotton business throughout the world" MT. Meyer said, has been showing a gradual but sound improvement in the last few weeks. If 1t becomes clear that adequate if nancing will be provided it will re- suit in such increased confidence as to stimulate orders by retail and wholesale merchants. thus lifting large burden from the original pro ducers and the small banks that carry tn em.'

ALA .-TENN. LEAGUE MAY
 DISCONTINUE SEASON

Sheffield, July 1S.-(Special.) )--The future of the Alabama Tennessee league depends upon the question of guarantee to visiting clubs. This was decided upon at meeting of the Tri-Cities. Athletic associati yester- day. The second series starts tomor- row, and unless the clubs agree to the guarantee proposition, the four cities composing the league will prob ably withdraw from organized base ball and continue the season as inde- pendent teams.
 The attendance in this city and All bany has been unusually good, while at Column bia, Tenn, and Russellville, Ala, the gate receipts have been so meagre that visiting teams have been compelled to dig down in the club treasury for funds to pay ex- penses of the team while on the road.
 For time it was believed that this city and Albany would be strong enough to maintain the weaker cities, but attendance has not increased at the points named Athens. Ala, is after the Russellville franchise, Huntsville having declined to come into the league. The guarantee proposition will be determined to- morrow, when Columbia answers the Fri Cities demand for guarantee.

 FROM CONVENTION
Tells of the Wonderful New Methods To Be Used In Transfer Business


 Henry Goodman, president of the Goodman Warehouse and Transfer company, has just returned from the National Warehouse and Transfer convention at Big Wind Island, Can, July SIP. where he saw all the new ideas recently adopted by the largest furniture warehouses in the United States. The convention was consid- cred one of the most important, ow- ing to the fact that 1t was unani- mously adopted that all charges for storing furniture, rugs. hauling and other service would be handled by experts where the public would be charged only for time and material used.
 Mr. Goodman visited all the dis plays showing the advanced ideas In modern equipment, and. as he stated that he really wants his busi- ness to be the leading establishment of it's kind in the south. immediately placed orders for the immediate ship ment of all devices and appliances that he may give the public the bes, service. In handling such equipment, Mir Goodman stated that he can se- cure the lowest rates for the ship ping of furniture which will be fur nished on request by Mir. Goodman. MT. Goodman also stated that he will have transportation department for the purpose of giving rates and such information free to the pubiie in regards to the shipment of furni- ture and household goods.
 MT. Goodman stopped off at Chi cago, New York and many other cities visiting all the large ware houses and getting expert knowl- edge of how the big master transfer companies handle their huge bust ness. It is expected that Mir. Good man will carry on his business in the same progressive way as these bigger concerns and within a short time tht, company will have just as large an institution with the same convent ences and equipment as the big fel- lows in the east. The service now be- ing rendered by the Goodman Ware house and Transfer company is the best servfre in the south.-Adv.
