AS RESPITE ENDS
Secretary Mellon Delays
Endorsements Acts,
Pending Injunction.

The PRONUNCIATION by secretary of
the Treasury Mellon of enforcement
regulations regarding possession
and sale of liquor on the high seas
and in the three-mile limit now de-
pends entirely upon the decision of
Federal Judge Learned Hand on the
permanent Injunction application Of
foreign shippers in New York.
Should Judge Hand issue a perma-
nent Injunction in favor Of the for
eign ship owners, enforcement OF
the Daugherty ruling. except in so
far as 1t applies to American ves-
sells. will be impracticable until the
Supreme Court renders a decision
in the matter. This Is the opinion
of J. J. Britt, general counsel for the
prohibition unit.
Grace Pcraod Ends.
Washington officials, therefore. are
awaiting the ruling of the New
York judge with much interest The
seven days Of grace granted by Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes. pend
ing the outcome of the New York
hearings, end at midnight tonight.
Whether foreig ships will be per-
mitted to carry liquor into Ameri-
can territory after that time with
out interference hangs solely upon
Judge Hand. prohibition officials de-
clared.
Meanwhile, however. the prohibi-
tion unit in conjunction with the
customs officials are continuing the
work OF drafting regulations A
final draft will be submitted to
Secretary Mellon on Monday, Britt
declared, in anticipation of possible
rejection of the injunction applica-
tion. Should the Hand ruling favor
the Daugherty opinion. it is ex-
pected that the regulations will be
put in effect at once.
InsuIar Possessions Free.
If the regulatios are announced.
they will not apply to the prohibi-
tion of liquor on foreign vessels
sessions, however. This was an
nounced by Secretary of War Weeks
following today's Cabinet meeting,
which was given over in part to
discussion of the liquor situation.
1t was decided that this phase
should be determined by the Su-
preme Court before application of
the ruling to insular possessions,
Secretary Weeks said.
It has been indicated that the ac-
tual enforcement of the Dausherty
ruling Is to be entrusted to customs
officials. backed by the prohibition
unit. rather than by the prohibition
unit primarily.

FUTURES BILL is
AID TO FARMERS

Sen. Dial Explains His Amendment [,
the Cotton Futures Act Which lie
Believes will be Boon to Cotton
Farmers.
Ihat his amendment to the cotton
futures bill reducing the number OF
tenderable grades Of cotton on OK
changes if passed would probably
cause cotton go up two cents a
pound and that it would mean millions
| OF dollars to the South, was the state
ment made by Senator Dial Friday
when he addressed Il melting of citi-
Zens at the court house.
Senator Dial, enthusiastic over the
proposed amendments to the cotton
futures act, explained in detail the
bill now before the Senate, of which
he is the author.
Although comparatively few farm
ers trade on the cotton exchanges
themselves, al OF them, said Senator
Dial, are affected by the manipula-
tons of the exchanges. Under the ex-
listing law, the Senator explained,
there is no equality in the exchange
contracts. They are neither mutuIl
nor definite. Cotton, far in excess of
the actual supply, is either bought or
sold but never delivered, while corn,
wheat and other products are never
sold under any such practice. The
proposed legislation would make it
obligatory upon the seller of con-
tract to deliver instead of any one or
as many Of either Of ten grades OF
cotton, only those grades that are
specified in tho contract, or the next
two grades nearest that specified. The
bill would do away with middling fair
as one Of the grades tenderable and
would divide the other nine grades in
to three classes: A, B and G, with
three grades in each class, and make
the middle class the basis.
Senator Dial said that he was not
asking favors but demanding justice
and that since the price Of the future
market controls the spot market, pas
sage oflhis bill, he was satisfied be
yond doubt, would stabilize the price
of cotton and would increase the price
Of every pound at least several cents

RURAL POLICE ELECTION
Representative Nance Introduces Bill
In Legislature to have Referendum
on Rural Police Question.

According to information brought
from Columbia, Representative Carol
D. Nance has introduced a bill to pro-
vide for an election to decide whether
ior not the county wishes to continue
the rural police system. The election
is to be held at the same time as the
regular summer primary. The terms
Of the bill provide that the present
system shall be retained until the is
sue Is decided. Reliable reports also
state that the seven policemen now
serving have been named to succeed
themselves, the length OF their service
to be dependent upon the outcome OF
the referendum election.
Reports coming UP from Columbia
also indicate that the political pot has
also commenced to bubble and that
several Of the present Office, holders
are about to throw their hats in the
ring for reelection. Representatives
G. d. Nance and Townes A. Willis
have definitely stated that they would
offer for reelection, according to re-
liable reports, but Representative Babt
has not as yet made any announce
