SMITH AND WATSON
ATTACK THE BOARD
Placing the Blame in Wrong Esti.
mate of Cotton Production-Re-
cites Tables.

Washington, Dec. 20.-A charge
that the crop reporting board Of the
Department of Agriculture, was ."at-
tempting to make the farmers the
goat or some of it's mistakes" was
made in the senate today by Senator
Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina.
"The result" the senator declared,
sis that the market broke, men who
grow cotton lost money, and the
dissatisfaction was made worse.
Mr.. Smith, in analyzing the. diff
ferent cotton estimates and reports
from government agencies, declared
they showed a continual reduction in
the ginning Of the article and added
that if the ratio was maintained
there was less than 100000 bales to
be ginned between now and March /
next year. He cited numerous tables
of statistics to support his assertion
that the amount Of cotton available
is far below what people have gen.
orally been led to believe.
Governor Harding, of the federal
reserve board, was attacked during
the discussion by Senator Watson,
democrat, of Georgia, for a speech
the Georgia senator said the reserve
board official made in New Orleans
in which he discussed the agricul-
tural situation. Mr.. Watson declared
the Harding speech had caused a
drop in cotton prices Immediately
from 20 to 18 cents and had disas-
trous effect generally on the farmer.
With reference to statements cred
tied to the crop estimate board to the
effect that it had not received reliable
information, Senator Hefiin, demo-
crrat, of Alabama, declared there was
something crooked" going on and
t that he would rather believe it was
in the crop estimate board than
among the farmers who had supplied
the information on cotton crop condi,
tions. "Well," replied Senator Smith
"at any rate the figures put out were
not only all wrong but the declara-
ton that the cotton farmer is induc-
ed by propaganda to misrepresent
his cotton acreage is blatant re-
Election on his honesty and integity.'

of getting a price which will yield
him a profit.
"Cheap cotton" says The Wall
Street Journal, .'can no longer be
produced" The price will have to
advance or the cultivation of cotton
will gradually cease because the
banks will: not he able to advance
the money to carry the Industry on.
"When large landowners, not small
croppers, deliberately abandon a
crop in midsummer because they
cannot afford to save it, the con-
sumling world must see and aknow-
ledge the changed condition." says
The Wall Street journal. The con-
suming world has not reached this
point yet but it will reach tin all
likelihood before another year is

100000 STORM
DAMAGE AT BUFFALO

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 20.-An exam
ination today of the grain fleet, part
of which was blown shoreward from
the lee of the main break wall in
yesterdays 95 mile an hour gale
showed that twelve out of the fifty
four vessels were resting on sand
bars, but none was in position Of
danger. The damage from the storm
in the city, along the lake shore and
on the east shore of the Niagara Riv-
er between here and Niagara Falls
was estimated at s1,o00,OO0. Scores
of lighthouses and squatters' shan
ties were swept into the river which
was ten or IL feet higher than nor
NAL owing to the wind blowing down
Lake Erie and piling up water in the
narrow channel.

OBSERVATION TEACHES
WAYS TO ADVERTISE

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 20.-Here's a
little advertising talk from an ad-
vertising man and addressed to Mr..
Business Man:
"You may or may not be an ad-
vertiser. In either event you may
have something to gain from obser-
vation of the advertising methods
Of your competitors. They are
showing you how or how not to do
it. If they are wholly neglecting
their opportunities so much the bet
ter for you. If they are using the
wrong mediums or weak copy, the
way is open for you to forge ahead
of them. The combined experience
of leading merhhants and manufac-
turers indicates that the daily news
paper which reaches everybody is
the cheapest and most effective
medium for the sale of articles of
general use. Are your competitors
using the right newspaper? And
are they using it the right way?

NO MORE CHEAP COTTON

The Wall Street Journal has been
for years the most persistent critic
of the Southern farmer rarely men,
tioning the cotton grower unless to
make sport of his idiosyncracies. 1t
is something of an event, therefore,
that this able newspaper should have
ceased to jeer, having at last, it
would seem, OWNED the gravity Of
the crisis through which the cotton
industry is passing.
Convinced by a study of the fig
ures that the present cotton surplus
must disappear within a year at
most, the Wall Street Journal has
been wondering what will happen
then. "There are two alternatives
before manufacturers and con-
sumers of cotton in the future" il
says. "They are to pay the produce,
more or to use less cotton. The lat.
ter is becoming impossible, ano
therefore the former must be ac
cepted."
It is now clear to The Wall Street
Journal, as it has been clear to many
of us for some time, that the cottor
growers cannot go on planting cot
ton unless they have some assurance
in advance of planting that if they
make a crop it will bring a return
justifying them for the hazards they
run and remunerating them for the
labor they perform. The expense
of making cotton has increased tt
such an extent that it is impossible
for the grower to finance his opera
tions unless he is reasonably certain

CONFERENCE END
MAY BE DELAYED
Plea Of France Presents Sharp Is
'ue-othsr: In Ae.
. cord:

Washington, Dc. 19.-The
French proposal for capital ship
ratio permitting her to construct
and maintain 350,000 tons which
when first presented to the naval
committee of the armament confer
ence, was understood to be merely
suggestion, now is declared to
have the full support Of the
French government. ..'
This was the outstaning develop
1ment today in connection with the
conference and was accepted in
most quarters as considerably post
poning what had been predicted
would be an early adjournment Of
the Washington meeting.
The impression gained among 9th
er delegations was that if France in
sisted on 5-5-3 ratio, comprised in
proposals put forward Tuesday she
would find q solid opposition con-
fronting the suggestion. Neither
from standpoint of national securi
ty nor from that of "present status
on which the whole scheme of limi-
tation is built, it was declared could
the French delegation defend the
claim to such a standing in the
worlds delimited naval concert.
Although further instructions
from Paris are expected generally
to soften somewhat the attitude
taken by the French delegates to-
ward the problem of naval ratio,
many members Of the arms confer
ence are looking forward to an ami
mated and perhaps prolonged dis.
cussion before the French views
finally are brought into. accord with
those of the other powers.
There apparently is little ex.
pectation in American, British,
Japanese or Italian circles that the
French government will insist
rigidly on the proposal of its naval
experts already presented to the
conference for a French capital
fleet Of 100000 tons. But at the
same time enough French opinion
, on the subject has been revealed to
darnpen the hope that the counte,
proposal for 175,Oo0 ton fleet will
be readily accepted.

ANDERSON MAN =
MISSED FROM POST

tOllOWluS INe ulScoVeIy u Sei-
tain irregularities in the books and
record of the company on Satur-
day and Sunday, officers Of the
Peoples OH and Fertilizer Co. are
today checking bank accounts in an
effort to ascertain if bhey have suf-
fered any loss. The treasurer Of the
company, Mr.. 'Broadus B. Babb Of
Anderson has been missing from the
mill since Friday afternoon and his
family nor the mill officials have re-
ceived word of his whereabouts.
According to Mr.. Levi N. Geer,
president of the company, Mr.. Babb
secured his permission to absent
himself from his duty on Friday at
ternoon stating that he had some
business to attend to and that he
would likely be back either Friday
evening or Saturday morning. On
Saturday morning he did not appear
at the mill an later in the day a
telephone call came from Mr..
BaIbb's family asking information
as to his whereabouts, and asserting
that he had told his family that he
was going to Spartanburg on bust
ness for the mill.
A check for the weekly pay roll
at the mill was also found by Mr..
Geer (which check" he added "indi-
Gated to me that he did not intend
to return before Saturday"
On Sunday morning officers be-
gan a systematic investigation of the
records of the company, and accord
ing to Mr.. Geer, "the finding was
not very satisfactory" BY that Mr..
Geer states that he does not mean
that he does not mean that the mill

He oes not know just how the mill
stands, but investigation at local
banking houses this morning show
some credit to the mill at the bank.
eve do not know that we have
really suffered a financial loss,'
said one Of the directors Of the
mill today. "The records, we do
know are not in satisfactory condi-
ton, but we do not know positively
that we have. any loss or not. We
positively hope not"
AS secretary and treasurer of the
company, Mr.. Babb had practically
entire management of the company
funds. He enjoyed the complete
confidence of the entire mill man
agement and ran the financial end
of the business practically alone.
The president, Levi Geer a prac-
tical cotton oil man, devoted his
time to the production end of the
business and only supervised the
financial end of the business casual

dence in Mr.. Babb's ability
