In North Carolina

RALEIGH, N. c., May 5.-An-
nouncement that DIR. Hastings Hart,
a member of the national committee
on prisons and prison labor, will be
invited to assist in the coming in
vestigation of state penal institu-
tions, and that report Of the Ca
barrus county grand jury charged
mistreatment of convicts in camps
and jails, was made here today by
Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, a member
of the state department of public
welfare.
The Cabarrus grand jury recon-
mended the discharge of P. d.
Blackwelder, superintendent of
changing camp No. 1, the report
stated, because of "cruel and inhu'
man treatment" of prisoners.
The report charged that a prison
er thought to be suffering from tu'
berculos:s had been refused treat
ment and kept at work, and that
convicts were suffering from sores
on their ankles because they were
not supplied with straps to hold up
their shackles. 1t also was asserted
that the men were worked in the
rain and allowed to go to bed with
wet clothes on, that improper and
insufficient food was served them,
and that prisoners with social dis.
eases were not segregated and were
not being treated.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Department Devoted the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

your association have been sat
isfactory We believe your
association puts business on

Now there, in few lines, is
as high a tribute as could be
paid to the association. It's
members already have got more
money for their cotton than
nOn-members got, and they still
have more money coming to
them. All the banks dealings
with the association have been
satisfactory. That means that
the association attends to it's
business in the right way. And
the association has put business
on a safer basis, the bank
thinks. Cashier Buxton is
mighty right about the last
thing. The cooperative associa-
tons will steady business condi-
tons wherever they operate.
The marvel is that the Geor-
gia association made such a fine
record this year.
Two things were against 1t:
First: 1t handled less than one
tenth of the cotton produced in
Georgia, Next fall it will handle
one-third or more. One-tenth of
the states smallest crop since
reconstruction days was a
mighty little drop in the bucket.
Yet this small amount Of cotton,

OKLAHOMA SECRET
SERVICE To RIVAL
RANGERS OF TEXAS

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 5.-Okla-
homa has started something new in
the line Of state law enforcement
with it's newly organized secret
service"
The Service" is a forerunner of
an extensive state police force and is
the brainchild of Governor Jack
Walton, elected on platform includ-
ing promises of strict law enforce
ment.
The Service" has a personnel of
200 men, most of whom have rec
ords ofsbeing picturesque Oklahoma
gunner, but whose identities are
kept secret.
The service" has been dubbed
Sooner State Secret Service" and
in time will rival the neighboring
Texas Rangers for activity in the
game of law enforcement, according
to expectations of Governor Walton.
Force of the service already has
been directed at bands of automobile
thieves operating throughout the
state, with scores of arrests. Re-
suits have also been obtained in pre-
liminary drives against bootleggers
and mOonShinerS, according to word
at the capitol. p
Governor Walton planned the serv-
ice along lines similar to those of
the federal secret service, with the
premier object of campaigning
against bootleggers and moonshiners,
it was said. The scope of this cam
paign will be broadened later to take
in action against bank bandit and
robber bands and others defying the
laws of the state.
During the first few weeks of his
administration the governor laid
plans for establishment of a state
mounted police force. These plans
were abandoned, however, when the
legislature failed to enact his plans.
The legislature allowed organization
Of the secret service through an ap-
preparation of $4,000 a year for EEK
traordinary protection of the state"
In the campaign against the VIC
lators of the state and federal pro-
hibition laws, probability of estab-
fishing an airplane squadron for the
service" has been seriously con-
sidered, it was admitted at the CAPT
toll. This probability will see devel-
opment in the coming few weeks.

PROSPECTS
BEST IN 3 YEARS,
GOVERNMENT SAYS

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The
agricultural prospect now is prob
ably the best it has been in three
years, the department Of agricul-
ture announced today in its month
ly review. The outlook for next fall
ard winter is considered TO depend
uron continuation of the present
Industrial boom in cities.
The domestic market for farm
products is reported to have i'm
proved measureably as a result OF
increased prosperity in urban COM
munities, the review said, but the
prospective foreign demand for
American farm products is not so
good as it was a year ago.
when labor is fully employed
and wages high" the review con-
tinued, farm products find a reader
sale and better prices. This is what
has helped to sustain the price of
hogs this spring, likewise lambs,
cottte, GARY products, eggs and GER
tain vegetables.
Labor is being drawn from the
farms to urban centers, but there
is as yet little evidence of serious
farm labor handicap. The pinch is
expected to come at harvest time
should the movement continue.
Spring planting, generally is report
ed from two to three weeks behind,
but the reported trend is toward in
creased production of cotton, sheep
and possibly corn, and decreased
production of wheat hogs and po-
tatoes.
"Prices of leading crops show &
continued upward trend, but the
general level of livestock prices is
reported as stationary or tending to
move slightly downward. Prices of
commodities. that farmers buy also
show a continued upward trend so
that the relative purchasing power
of unit of farm products remains
UNCHANGED"

iro plan of gradual and orderly
marketing, will net its growers
more than &c cents pound,
while 80 per cent of the rest Of
the farmers in the state were
getting less than % cents.
Second: 1t was its first year
of existence and had to create
from cellar to garnet an organi-
cation to do it's work. 1t will
enter the new cotton year with
a tested and well-oiled machine,
with the advantage of one years
experience.
If you are raising cotton this
year, with all the hazards OF
high labor cost and a boil weevil
damage which it is at present
impossible to estimate, can you
afford to trust to luck as to the
price you will get?
Why not play the game safe
and join the association which
will insure you an average and
therefore fair price?
Don't wait.
Get in touch with the assocla-
ton right now, and ask that one
of the field men be sent to talk
the matter over with you and
explain it to you.
Make sure of getting fair
price.
Tt probably will mean the diff
ference between failure and sue
cess,

GEORGIA BALE OF COTTON
BASIS FOR SHRINE STUNT
AT WASHINGTON MEETING

and confidential sources the follow
ing is planned:
An army or navy aviator will
start from some point in Georgia
with a bale of cotton in his plane.
On arrival at Shrine headquarters
here the bale will be inspected by
President Harding. 1t then will be
reloaded and carried to some New
England cotton mill, probably at
Lawrence. Mass. Here it will be
converted into Masonic aprons and
the aprons will be loaded back into
the plane and the aviator will start
at once back to Washington.
On his second arrival here he will
distribute the aprons among the
Masons attending the Shrine con-
vention. The aviator selected for

that the Georgia bale of cotton may
be brought from Georgia, inspected
in Washington by the president,
and returned here in the form of
manufactured aprons all in one day.

COOP PLAN WILL
SAVE COTTON, SAYS
CAROLINA GOVERNOR

Stopping over in Atlanta for a
short time Friday afternoon en-
route to Dawson and Americas,
where he spoke Saturday to cotton
planters of those sections, Governor
w. T.. Mcleod, of South Carolina,
asserted the cooperative marketing
plan is the greatest economic move
ment ever started by and for the
farmers.
The governor was accompanied on
his trip by Harold c. Booker, sec
rotary of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative association. A
committee of officials of the Georgia
association, including Claude Eu-
banks. secretary; A. NJ. Wilkins,
member OF the executive committee,
and w. A. Reeves, vice president,
accompanied the. governor.
1.-THE time has come" the Cover
nor said, when the country is in
danger of losing cotton as a ma
tional asset, and there is not loom
or a spindle throughout the entire
country that should not be concern
ed over this very vital question.
Must Assure Profit
"Unless the farmer is assured a
larger profit, he will not continue to
raise cotton, for there are other
money crops to which he can turn.
"Al the>farmer is asking through
these associations is a right to pro-
duce his crop at profit. No other
business in the world sells it's prod
uct at a loss and continues to open
ate year after year. All manufac-
tured goods are sold on the basis of
the cost price.
Faced with the always constant
uncertainty of the season, the addi-
tionaI expense of boil weevil condi-
tons, and depleted labor, how much
longer will the farmer stick? And,
the answer is, only until education
shows him the foolishnesskof the at
tempt.
Eighteen hundred thousand
farmers quit farming last year in
the United States. More will aban.
don the unsuccessful fight this year
unless the big financial interests of
the country-the bankers, manufac-
turers, and business men, generally
get behind the movement and as
sure the farmer of an adequate
profit for his labor"
The governor explained that the
above stated number of farmers
leaving the farms last year includ-
ed those from the entire United
States, and was not confined solely
to cotton planters.
Pool Movement Gains
Governor Mcleod said the CO.
operative movement was gaining
Roadway in South Carolina and that
practically all lines of business were
giving it support. He said the banks
were heartily in accord with it. and
are urging the planters to sign up.
Business conditions throughout
South Carolina also are very good,
he said.
Mr.. Booker declared the associa-
ton has about one-third Of the~1923
crop already signed up. He said
1000 new members were added in
April, and that the campaign for
new members was gaining momen-
tum daily
Governor Mcleod is one of the
largest cotton raisers in South
Carolina. He is a pioneer in the CO.
operative marketing movement,
signing up with the Mississippi asso-
.ciation before the South Carolina
BODY was formed.
