EXPORT OF COTTON
Twill BE- STIMULATED

where the cotton is under contract
Tor sale abroad was announced to
night by the war finance corpora
ton. Heretofore the corporation has
confined its advances to cotton al
ready at seaboard.
The new policy, Managing Direc-
tor Meyer explained, was adopted at
the request of the recent conference
of Southern bankers and cotton ex-
porters of Atlanta who wished the
corporation to make advances to
finance the expectation of cotton
which was under definite contract OF
sale, but which will not move for
ward Immediately but within a rea-
sonable time.
Another result of the conference,
Mr.. Meyer said, was the formation
Of joint committee on bankers and
exporters to work out practical meth
ods of dealing with cotton exports,
especially to those countries which
could use substantially larger guam
tiles, if credit were obtainable on a
sound basis.

NEWBERRY VERDICT
SET ASIDE BY COURT
Federal Corrupt Practices Act Held
Unconstitutional ON Dec tsion.-
While Unanimous in Reversing
Conviction of Michigan Senator
and l6 Others, Justices Divide S
to 4 az to Validity Of Law.

Washington, May 3-Setting aside
the conviction of Senator Truman H.
Newberry of Michigan and 16 others
for violation of the federal corrupt
practices act, the supreme court held
today that the act was unconstitu-
tional.
The court was unanimous in re-
versing the convictions, but divided
5 to 4 as to the validity of the law.
Chief Justice White and Associate
Justices Pitney, Clark and Brandeis
dissented from the courts finding
that congress was without power to
regulate state primaries, but con-
Cured in the reversal which, they
thought, should have been. based on
the error of the trial judges instruc-
lion to the jury.
Justice McKenna- while concurring
in the majority opinion "as applied
% the statute under consideration
reserved the question of the power of
congress under the 18th amendment
which provides for direct election
If senators-to supervise primaries.
Opinion was divided in the senate
as to the effect of the decision upon
future activities of the elections COM
mittee with regard to the Michigan
election of 1918 in which Henry
Ford, as the Democratic candidate,
opposed Mr.. Newberry for the sena.
torship. Senator Dillingham;, chair
man of the committee said that since
the corrupt practices law had been
held unconstitutional it appeared
that the committee would have no
further jurisdiction. On the other
hand, Senator Spencer, chairman OF
the subcommittee, which has been
considering the Ford-Newberry case,
lannounced that despite the decision,
the inquiry would be continued to
determine, he said, who was elected
IS well as Mr.. Ford's charge of fraud
The subcommittee has completed its
recount of votes, which gave Sena-
tor Newberry a majority. Action,
4 however, has not yet been taken on
! ;he recount. Senator Newberry has
taken no part in senate affairs and
has not been in his seat in the SEN
ate since he was convicted and SEN
fenced sto serve two years in the
Leavenworth federal prison and pay
$4,000 fine. He was in Detroit to-
day.

at eight twenty-five O'Clock May Srd,
1921.
Abbeville people were shocked and
grieved Tuesday night and this
morning to hear the news Of Mr.

had begun to hope that he would
soon be we'll enough to be about his
accustomed work and every one felt
that the prospects for his permanent
recovery were good.
Six weeks ago Mr.. Henry was
taken with flu which kept him con-
fined TO his home for ten days. DE

but after day or two was attacked
with severe pain in his head and

was taken to Atlanta three weeks
ago and there his ailment was pro-
Dounced sleeping sickness, brought
on from the effects Of flu. While in
Atlanta Mr.. Henry seemed to make
a steady recovery and he was re-
ieved Of all his suffering. He re-
ceived his friends and members OF
his family and most Of the reports
coming from his bedside were Of an
encouraging nature. He returned to
his home Sunday and seemed to suf-
fer no i'll effects from the trip.
Tuesday night he had supper serv-
ed to him in his room. He insisted
that his mother and Frank Leslie go
to the dining room and have their
supper, remarking that Mr.. Philson
who had come in to make him; a call,
would be sufficient company. In a
few moments he put his hand to his
head saying he did not feel well, then
gave gasp and expired before as.
s;stance could reach him.
Mr.. Henry was the second son of
Mr.. Francis Henry and his wife,
Sarah Ellen Hill and was born at the

CLUB IS PLANNING
 MEET TO DECIDE
 THE STATE TITLE
Invitations Will Be Sent to High Schools to Take
 Part In Tourney

A real step towards the determination of the State High school basketball championship has been taken by the Bir- mingham Athletic club, which announced yesterday that plans are now under way fer state interscholastic tournament, to be staged in Birmingham later on in the year.
 As Athletic club officials stated. it is an almost impossible task to pick the state champion by the present method that of comparative scores. During the season, it is impossible for every team to meet or to even meet the same oppon- ents, so in picking a state champion , the spickers opinion must play large part in the procedure. An organized tour nament would do away with the uncer- tainty and would really decide the cham pionship, provided the majority of the state schools entered teams.
 It is the plan of the B. A. C. officials to stage such tournament here, prob ably on February 24, p and 26. Invita- tions will be sent to all the state high schools to send teams to this meet and i. is thought that large majority of them will accept the invit9sion.N
 The club plans to give a cup trophy to the team winning the title, gold medals to the members of this team, silver medals to the members of the runner-up team, and bronze medals to the members of the quintet finishing third.
 Clarence McEachin, chairman of the basketball committed of the B. A. C., has charge of the arrangements for the tournament He announces that invita- tions will be mailed this week and other details attended to.
 Unlike baseball and fo otbal, basketball titles may be decided in tournaments and it is TOT this reason that the B. A. C is going to stage this meet. X red. and recognized champion could be determined by the staging of such a tournament.

BACK MARKERS M
 TRAP SHOOT MEETS ARE NOT OUTSHOT
By PETER F. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate

The back markers may be ''outshot" before they start as some of the crack shots tell us they are but the. scores made in the handicap events at the state shoots in 1920 do not bear out this con- tention. Fourteen of the 42 handicap events were won by shooters standing on or behind 20 yards The only 99 score was made by p yards man. Two of the four 9S scores were made by P yards men, and of the winners were shooters standing at 2 yards.
 The back marker, we have an idea, when he is right, has just as much chance to win as if he was on 16 yards. The greatest number of winners Q2) were on the 19 yards mark, as usual; 10 of the handicaps were won from IS yards, 6 from 16, from IT, from 20 and from 2L
