ment for Cooperative marketing is re-
ported from every section of the state,
it was declared this morning. Alfred
Scarborough, member of the organiza-
ton committee, returning from trip
to Greenwood and Mccormick coun-
ties reported the people in those coun-

expected little trouble in signing the
necessary number of bales in those
two counties.

this morning that the association felt
confident over the outcome of the
campaign. The people of the state
are becoming more and more con-
vinced that it is absolutely necessary
to do something, he said, and the cor

principal crop, seems to be the first
important step to take.

thing practical and something that

TALK
OF NAVAL TERMS

Washington, Nov. 14.-Dlscussion
Of the American proposals for limita-
ton Of naval armament broke out in
the senate today within an hour af-
ter it convened.
Senator Pomerene, Of Ohio, a DEM
ocratic member Of the foreign rela-
tions committee, brought up the sub
ject, declaring he endorsed the Am
erican plan "wholeheartedly."
II regard it as the greatest one step
yet taken toward disarmament" said
Senator Pomerene.
The Ohio senator referred to his
resolution for suspension of naval
construction during the conference,
declaring it would help and not en-
barrass the negotiations.
The Ohio senator said he hoped
the naval committee would report
his resolution and said that if MOTH
ing was done soon he would move
to discharge the committee and bring
the resolution before the senate.
Senator Poindexter, Republican,
Washington, acting chairman of the
naval committee, said that if congress
had adopted Senator Pomerene's pro-
posal when it was made last May, the
present American proposals would
have been precluded.
Replying to statements Of Senator
Pomerene that work was being
pressed on the 1915 program, SEN
ator Poindexter said the "facts were
that progress was greatly reduced"
Work is almost suspended on a
large part of the program due to lack
of appropriations" he added.
J. Senator Walsh, Of Montana, a
Democratic member Of the naval
committee. said he had felt it un-
wise to suspend the 1916 program un-
til some limitation agreement had
been reached and that the $500, ,000,-
900 spent on the program had not
been wasted.
The discussion ended without any
intima1ion of probable committee ac-
ton on the Pomerene resolution.
