TOBACCO GROWERS
GET MORE CASH
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION IN
CREASES FIRST ADVANCE AS
CENTRAL MARKETS OPEN.

The opening of the Cooperative
Markets this week at Durham, Ok
ford, Henderson, Norlina, Raleigh
and dozen other points Of central
North Carolina was marked by the
highest cash advances yet paid to the
members Of the Tobacco Growers
Association. This increase in the first
cash payments made to the growers
was extended to eastern North Caro-
lima as well as to the central belt;
and brings an increase of $500 q
hundred on the highest grades of
cutters with corresponding advances
for the lower grades. The recent sue
cessful sales made by the association
to dealers and manufacturers have
led to this increased advance, over
which the member growers are eX-
pressing satisfaction.
Large deliveries are expected at
the associations warehouses both in
the eastern and central belts this
week, while in South Carolina the re-
port of August deliveries by the sec
retary of agriculture for that state
shows that the auction floors received
barely half the tobacco handled by
them in 1921. The association in
South Carolina alone has received
close to 100000 pounds in deliver
les up to the present time.
The first suits for liquidated dam
ages and lnjunctions against further
breach of the contract were filed this
week against z. A. Harrell of Edge
combe county, N. c., and w. 7. Jones
of Nash county, N. c., for alleged
failure to deliver their tobacco to the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso-
citation in accordance with their con-
tracts.
Similar suits are being filed in
South Carolina this week against F.
w. Fairey of Kingstree, and L. I.
Leitner of Marion, member growers
of the tobacco cooperative for alleg-
ed sale of tobacco outside of the as
sociation.
Eighty suits against contract vio-
laters and persons who are spreading
malicious propaganda against the as
sociation are now in preparation ac-
cording to Aaron Sapiro, attorney
for the organized growers of the
Carolinas and Virginia, who address
ed six thousand tobacco farmers at
enthusiastic mass meetings in Dan
Vile and South Hill, Va, last Fri
day and Saturday. Mr.. Sapiro chal-
lenged any man in his audiences who
did not believe the association would
enforce its contracts to come up and
sign his tobacco.

FARMER MADE DEFENDANT
IN TOBACCO CASE.
Plan to Uphold Contract-F. W.
Fairey Charged With Not Deliver
ing Tobacco According to Contract.

Florence, Sept. 20.-The South
Carolina Tobacco Growers Coopera-
tive Marketing Association late this
afternoon procured a temporary in
junction against F. w. Falrey, planter
of Williamsburg county, restraining
him from delivering his tobacco to
any other warehouse or association
except the growers association with
which he had signed contract.
Judge S. W. G. Shipp granted the
temporary INDUCTION IN chambers up
on the application Of Wilcox & VIII
cox, representing the association.
The complaint alleged that while
Mr.. Fairey had signed the contract
of the association he had not fulfilled
its terms with respect to the delivery
of the tobacco. The complaint stated
that he had delivered to the assccia-
ton only 500 pounds out of a total
acreage of sixty acres.
The papers in the case nave Deen
filed and copies have been forwarded
to Kingstree for service. The case
will come to trial upon its merits in
due course.
The proceedings are important in
that they constitute the first attempt
of the Tobacco Growers Association
to enforce its contract. Should Mr..
Fairey make application to have the
injunction dissolved the hearing may
be held earlier than regular term
of court.
Much interest is attached to the
case. 1t was announced some time
ago that the association would exert
every effort to force compliance with
its contracts. The action taken yes
terday may lead to others, it was
stated today.

BRITISH MOBOLIZE
ships and TROOPS
MUSTAPHA PASHA SAID TO BE
PREPARING TO FIGHT FOR
THE DARDANELLES.

Constantinople, Sept. 20.-The Brit
ish are mobilizing every available
warship, man, horse, automobile can
non and rifle within reach of the trou-
BILE zone. They are preparing to deal
a tremendous blow by land, sea and
air aid if provoked by the Kemalist
army, which, according to the latest
reports, is concentrating feverishly
around Ismid and Chanak.
All British barracks in Constan-
tinople have been evacuated and
troops are marching in the streets Of
the capital which is having SOLDERING
effect on the TURKS. The British SOL
dIers are headed for the straits.
General headquarters has issued an
order directing the families of Brit
ish officers and soldiers to prepare
to embark tomorrow.
Transports with British cavalry,
heavy artillery and supplies are ar
irving at Haidarpasha.
The Constantinople garrison is con-
structing entrenchments at Scutari on
the Asiatic side of the Bosphorous
which will be the second line of de-
fense, the first being at Yarinja. The
British police forces here have been
greatly augmented and will probably
be assisted by French soldiers It is
estimated the present British strength
here and in the Dardanelles are 49,
900 men which would be increased
to nearly $4,000.
The forces will be strengthened by
large detachments from the Atlantic
and Mediterranean fleets.

House leaders have arranged in the
event of a veto tn defer until tomor-
row any move to pass the bill.
Friends of the bonus appeared con-
fident that more than the necessary
two-third majority could be ogtained
in the house, but did not seem certain
about the situation in the senate.

BONUS BILL UP
TO PRESIDENT
CONGRESS PASSES MEASURE AS
1T COMES FROM CONFERENCE
LAND CLAUSE is KILLED.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Congress to-
day passed the soldiers bonus bill
along to President Harding.
Prompt action by the Executive
was anticipated, but opinion at the
Capitol as to whether he would veto
or approve the measure still was
divided. This question entered large
ly into the debate today which pre-
ceded the senate adoption of the con-
ference report, &c to Il.
Conceding that while the question
of the presidents attitude was, as
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, expressed it cup in the air"
Senator McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota, IN charge of the bill, said
he chopped to God" the president
would sign it.
81 think he ought to sign it," he
declared, adding that if senators who
wanted "to help the soldiers" would
remain in Washington until "a final
vote" there would be sufficient votes
to pass it over veto.
Some leaders in the House were
of the opinion that If the president
decided to veto the measure it would
be returned to Congress early in the
coming week In that event it was
the plan to bring up speedily in the
House the question Of overriding the
veto. Proponents Of the legislation
were confident the necessary tN >
thirds majority could be obtained,
the House having passed the bill by
a majority of more than four to one.
Senate in Doubt.
Admittedly, however, there was
doubt as to the situation in the sem
ate. Opponents claimed thirty-four
senators in opposition, two more than
necessary to sustain the veto.
During senate debate today Sena-
tor Underwood, Of Alabama, refer
red to the probability of veto, while
Senator Harrison said he had reports
that "word has been passed down the
line that the president is going to
veto the bill" Senator McCumber
told the senate he still was in hope
there would be no veto, reiteratlng
his opinion that the measure as drawn
met the objections of the president
and the secretary of the treasury to
the original cash bonus plan.
Cpon the presentation Of the con-
ference report, Senator Harrison
made a point of order that the con-
ferees had exceeded their authority
in eliminating the land reclamation
option, which, in one form or anoth-
er, had been approved by both the
House and Senate. After long de-
bate the point of order was overrul-
ed by Senator Cummins, Iowa, presi-
dent pro tenn and the ruling was ap-
proved by the Senate, 33 to q.

 The saving thing about all this is that American cotton is usually pre- ferred to other cotton, excepting Egyptians although during the last year, Great Britain, our leading GUS toner. has been drawing raw cotton more and more from sources other than America.
 The census figures on domestic con sumption for July were a disappoint- ment but traders were too busy spread ing bullish ideas to pay much atten tion to them.
 The government weather review ad- ded 10 hulish sentiment and encourag ed the idea that the government report on the condition of the crop which will date as of Aug. 25. is likely to show a low figure Owing to the difference in par values, however, condition of about 62 per cent of normal on Aug. 25 would be as good as 70S per cent on July 25 The government will compare with q condition of 70.8 on July 25. which it was said, pointed to a yield of 11.449,000 bales, and 10 year average condition of 623 per cent
 Last year the government placed the condition on Aug. 25 at 493 per cent of d normal, which was so much too low that 1t almost wrecked conf dence in he government report.
 Private midmOnth reports ranged from 667 to GOA per cent Yesterday George H. McFadden X Go. it was re ported, figured the condition of the crop to he 5S.6 per cent of normal said to indicate a crop of about 10,- S00000 bales This report probably had quite bit to do with putting the market up yesterday.
 The bearish argument was advanced that the new crop movement would probably depress values when volume has reached a point where it cannot be readily absorbed. However, this may be, it is one of the cardinal prin- ciples of cooperative marketing of cot ton to prevent selling pressure, and cooperative marketing is stronger and better organized than it ever was be- fore Some reports have had it that the new crop in earlier sections is not selling readily.

 The statement IS made that tae railroad companies have set thc ex. ample of refusing to be bound by the decisions of the Labor Board. fhe facts are that the companies have taken appeals in certain cases to the courts on tie ieRai ground that the Board had exceeded it's jurisdiction under the law.

Current Business Conditions
 By E ROBERTS for Augusta

THE leading topics of interest
 in the past month have been
 the crops and the strikes. The crops have come along finely. The wheat crop is fully as large as last year, the corn crop promises to be around 3,000,000,000 bushels and other food and feed crops are good. The amount of dairy prod ucts going into storage IS larger than last year, Altoge ther, the cost of living so far as foodstutfs are concerned promises to be on about the same basis for the coming year as for the past. The cotton crop, however, IS disappointing and likely to be short of the world needs. The tendency Of clothing materials Is now upward. but man ufacturing costs are slightly lower than last year.
 The improvement in industry has proceeded so far that the amount of enforced unemployment is scarcely more than in any time of moderate prosperity. but the pending strikes have not only stopped the earnings of the strikers but are beginning to cause unem- ployment and losses in other quar- ters. President Harding has been active in his efforts to settle both the big strikes without harsh or unusual measures. He proposed for the coal industry that the miners return to work immedi- ately at the scale of wages being paid when the strike began. this situation to last until public com mission, to be appointed by him, could render decision upon wages; the commission later to make a thorough investigation of the industry, looking to the de- velopment of a permanent policy for the preservation of peace and wholesome working conditions. The miners rejected the proposal.
 The President has also made a proposal for the settlement of the railroad strike, but at this writing the outcome IS undetermined
 With these strikes in industries that are vital to the public welfare out of the way, the outlook is good for fall business, although 1t cannot be said that complete and equitable readjustment of wages and prices has taken place. In- dustrial costs, in which fuel and transportation are leading factors are too high for the prices of farm products and raw materials gen orally, and a full measure of pros. perity cannot be realized while this remains the case.
 It goes without saying that the two strikes are very grave menace to the public welfare. The industries cannot run without coal and transportation service. Unless a settlement is reached, industries

WILL NOT PUSH AMENDMENT

The educa tional interests of the state are agreed that they will not push Amendment No. 14 in the gen. eral election in October. It is the concensus of opinion that the amend ment was in some respects loosely drawn and it aroused so much opp0sf. tion that it is not considered advise able to insist upon it's adoption. This is particularly true since the develop ments of the recent campaign when Governor McRae announced his opp0- stiOn to the measure and his action was followed by A. B. Hill, candidate for State Superintendent, with the statement that he would not insist up on it's adoption.
