GOOD MEETING THIS MORNING
To Urge Farmers to Plow Up Old
Cotton Stalks at Once.

Mr.. J. A. Evans of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington,
was in Abbeville this morning and
gave an interesting talk to the far
mers on the Importance of plowing
up old cotton stalks. The meeting
was held in the City Council Cham
bers at II o'clock.
Mr.. Evans believes the boil weevil
can be controlled, and will be con-
trolled, and the most effective way
is to begin at once plowing up this
years cotton stalks. These furnish
an ideal place for the Information of
the weevils through the winter.
The sooner these winter quarters are
destroyed the fewer weevils will live
to destroy next years cotton crop.
A good crowd was out to hear the
speaker. The rainy weather was a
handicap but the room was full and
the talk was delivered in a natural
vein that was agreeable to those
present.
Mr.. Evans and Mr.. G. Lee GoWan,
the County Agent, went to 'Antre-
Vile this afternoon to hold a meet
ing at that place.. They will be in
Due West Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock and will talk to the farmers
of that section in the rooms of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank.

COTTON EXCHANGES
OBJECT OF STUDY
SOUTHERN SENATORS PROPOSE
To- INVESTIGATE.-SENATE
COMMITTEE REPORT ON DIAL
MEASURE WRITTEN BY EX-
CHANGES FRIEND.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Senators of
Southern states, it is announced to-
day, will at the beginning of April
session undertake an intensive study
of the effect of cotton exchanges in
the regulation Of the price of cotton,
Senator j. Thomas Heflin of Alabama
has published the fact that he and
Senator E. D. Smith of South Caro-
lima would take the lead in the un-
dertaking. Senator Hehin has on
more than one occasion advocated
the "cutting off of the heads" Of the
exchanges.
Procedure against the cotton ex-
changes has consisted in the main in
public criticism and following the
new maneuver the managers will
continue to flourish at the expense
Of the cotton producer. It is conf
IDENTIFY believed Southern senator's
have suffered the practical defeat of
every drastic move against the cot
ton exchanges attempted during the
past several years. At the present
time, there pends in the senate a
measure introduced by Senator N. B
Dial of South Carolina, which it is
contended, would give purchasers
an equal break with operators and
confer indefinite boons on the men
who grow cotton. The measure was
adversely reported by the senate
committee on agriculture, of which
Senator of South Carolina, Hefiin
of Alabama, Harris Of Mississippi,
Ransdell of Louisiana and Caraway
Of Arkansas are. members. These
Southern senator's permitted the only
one of their number who, in this
particular case, defends the cotton
exchanges, to write the adverse re-
port.
Senator Ransdell is open in his de-
tense of the exchanges which operate
in his home city, New Orleans, and
his adverse report is identical with
the report which exchanges would
have made had they had the oppor-
tunity. No one of the senators who
constantly speculated on the de-
fenseless farmer and the "outra-
geous gamblers of Wall street" at
tempted to defend the Dial measure.
No one of them offered to improve
it by amendment, despite the fact
that it was common knowledge that
the lobbyists of the exchanges were
expending their every energy to. en-
compass its defeat.

creased an estimated $22,125,0 900
by a decision Of the United States
railroad labor board today granting
increased pay of two cents an hour
to over 100000 maintenance Of
way employees.
Four of nine groups Of the Unit
ed Brotherhood of Maintenance Of

workers were affected by the raise

mon labers. The decision raised min
imum rates of pay for the classes

railroad group, these two making
the necessary five to make the pub
lie groups proposal effective, Chair
man Hooper said that the actual
decision would be presented to the
board Monday, the document NOT

outgrowth of the July wage cuts
and the rail strikers and threatened
strikes which followed. When the

the railroads and submitted to the
board during hearings a plurality of
about 10000 trackmen or 85 per
cent, of the carries are now receiv-

CAN LINES PROTECTED FROM
PROHIBITION AGENTS.

I'VE" 1Olhy WV lt'-T cucIdl
Judge Learned Hand late today is
sued temporary injunction restrain
ing federal prohibition agents from
molesting liquor on board the vessels
of the British-owned White Star line
and the American-owned United
American line. >,....
The temporary stays were granted
until Tuesday, when the two new
cases will be heard, along with the
similar case filed by the Internation-
al Mercantile Marine and the order
requiring federal enforcement agents
to show cause why they should not
be restrained from molesting liquor
on the twenty-four vessels of the Gu
nard and Anchor lines.
The United American line, which
was represented by George Adams
Ellis, was required to furnish a
bond to guarantee that liquor on
board the steamship Resolute, leav-
ing New York Tuesday, would not
be sold or consumed until the YES
sci arrives at Hamburg. The, bond
was double the value of the liquor.
Mr.. Ellis said he took the action
today in order to get the matter
before the United States Supreme
Court and also to get the liquor on
the Resolute into a foreign port to
remain until a Supreme Court de-
cision finally settles the validity Of
the Daugherty decision.
Van Vechten Veeder of counsel
for the White Star line, declared he
would come back to court with cone
or two" similar cases tomorrow. He
said the company was in quand-
ary as to what to do with the large
stock of liquor on board the Majes-
tic, which is due to sail from Liver
pool Wednesday, and that it wanted
some guidance from the court in de-
Gliding how to dispose of this stock.
Three vessels-one American, one
French and one Spanish-arrived
here today, all of them with their
bars sealed. The bar on the Presi-
dent Harding, of the United States
line, was sealed Tuesday night on
wireless instructions from the COM
pany's headquarters here. The sale
and consumption of liquor was
stopped that evening.
The American liner Finland, it
was stated, will leave for Europe
tomorrow with her bar sealed. More
than $4,000 worth of liquor on
board will be kept under seal and
disposed of at Southampton. The
temporary injunction granted to the
International Mercantile Marine
molestation by enforcement officers,
but officials of the company decid-
ed mot to take any chance"

Hoboken, N. j., Oct. 14.-Europe
is closer to military conflict than at
any period Immediately proceeding
the World war, members Of the IN
ternational trade commission OF the
Southern Commercial congress de-
clared today upon their return on
the President Harding.
The commissioners stated that
their study of conditions in all the
European cauntries convinced them
that immediate solution of the var1-
ous financial economic and repara'
ton problems was necessary to a.
void disasters.
Fourteen members of the commits
sion, headed by Clarance J. Owens
of Washington D. C. returned on the
President Harding. A report Of the
commissions Investigations Will be
presented to the 18th commercial
congress in Chicago November ~

Notwithstanding the treaty OF
Versailles and the low economic
statue of European nations" said a
preliminary report Of the comn'ls-
sion. Europe is more nearly on
the verge of military conflict than
at any period Immediately proceed
ing the World war, temporary and
unless some solution of the problem
is reached prior to the expiration
of the six months period the condl-
tione in Europe will be infinitely
worse.
"The fundamental problem IS
that. of the settlement of the war
debt and reparations the settlement
can not be handled piecemeal, but
must include all the nations parties
to international financial obliga-
tions America as a creditor nation
to the amount of s1O,O0O,Ooo plus
accrued interest must see that its
interests are protected in the con-
test of settlement. France and Bel
g,ium base their program of recon-
struction and rehabilitation on the
return ofexchange to an approx
mate normal status upon German
reparation payments. They say Ger
many must pay Germany with its
gold and securities of value out OF
the country with apparent financial
collapse but with an almost frenzl-
agricultural and industrial actlv-
ity in production, boldly claims that
the treaty of Versailles must be a
mended that Germany be freed to
commercially with other coustries
of the world and clames that Ger
many cannot pay anything like the
sum demanded, nor at all until she
is free to expere.
Holland, as a neutral observer,
agreed that Germany can not pay
and plainly says that the economic
future of Holland is bound up with
the fate of Germany.
