Charges in Coop Suit
Denied hV Grower

AMERICUS, Ga, Oct. 2O.-Allega-
tons contained in the petition of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Co-opera-
tive association VS.. J. FL. Stevens.
Ellaville business man, were denied
in almost every detail by Mr.. Ste
vens. A temporary restraining order
granted by Judge u. A. Littlejohn
at Lumpkin enjoins Stevens from
selling any cotton outside of the
cooperative association, and a hear
ing to make the injunction perma-
nent will be held in Americas No
vember II. The association declares
that Mr.. Stevens has refused to de-
liver cotton in accordance with his
contract, while Mr.. Stevens asserts
that he has sold no cotton of 1928
growth in violation of his contract
with the association. Because of
the prominence Of the defendant
and the cooperative character of
the plaintiff, great interest centers
in the hearing to be held here next
, month.

MASONIC COUNCIL
IN ROW OVER KHAN

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-Judge
George Fleming Moore, past sover
eign grand commander of the SUI
preme council and inspector general
Of Scottish Rite, Masons in Alabama,
resigned from the supreme council
today after a discussion over the
ku KluX Khan.
During the debate, Mr. Moore was
charged by members of the council
with using his weekly publication,
1.-The Fellowship Forum" issued
here, for furthering the aims of the
khan.
Although the publication has desig-
mated itself as digest of fraternal
news from all over the world,
Masons have regarded it as a Ma
sonic publication. Consideration of
Mr.. Moore's resignation was post
poned.
The council also is considering the
resignation of Perry w. Wiedner,
secretary general, who has announc-
! ed that h desires to return to Los
Angeles.
About one hundred Of those who
were elected to the thirtythird de-
gree will receive their honors to-
| night, and tt Others will have the
degree conferred later. Those desig-
| mated knight Commander of the

same state of mind throughout the
race. 1t may have been that he saw
the caull<ing on Zevs feet and knew
in advance that he never had
chance. At any rate he ran that
type of race, holding on only as long
as Sande and Zev permitted him to
stay within reach. Now and then
Sande would look behind in apparent
surprise to see his rival dropping
back. 1t was upon these occasions
that the American jockey checked
his pace and let the gap close up
again. He must have known that
the fairly slow pace was not firing

the track he would have all he
wanted left for any challenge down

In this respect he was right. He
had all he wanted and a few lengths
more than he needed. There was no
sprint to meet down that closing
quarter as Papyrus drifted farther
and farther away, outclasSed for the
day at least. The almost endless lines
and masses Of humanity, keyed up to
WhirlWind duel, suddenly turned
their roar into one of triumph for an
American victory. The expected
thrill had failed TO show but there
was quite enough to cheer about over
the spectacle of q home grown
product running away from an over
seas rival, bred in land where rae
ing tradition goes back to William
the Conqueror. So the crowd, foiled
in the way Of thrills, got in it's throat

made. For whatever else it all
might have proved, it established be-
yond measure that Zey, under the
