Foot Ball Agent of Peace.

NEW SHIP SCHEME
MAPPED BY LASKER
AS SUBSIDY FAILS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-While
the administration shipping bill still
fingered before the senate today, in
terest turned to the formulation of
alternative plans by the shipping
board for dealing with the govern
ment's merchant fleet in view of the
conceded failure of the bill. De-
clared by Chairman Lasker, after a
conference with President Harding
and later with members of the board,
to be startling novel," no indiCa.
ton of the precise nature of the plan
has yet been given by administration
officials.
1t was generally believed, how.
ever, that the administration policy
contemplated quick and thorough
liquidation with possibility the invo'
cation of such indirect aids to Amer.
lean shipping contained in the mer-
chant marine act as would encOur-
age purchase of government ships
by private interests.
The abrogation of commercial
treaties necessary to permit use of
discriminatory import duties in ia
vor of American ships, a direction
of the act which both President Viii.
son and President Harding have re-
fused to carry out, was urged again
in the senate yesterday by Senator
Ransdall, Democrat, Louisiana, dur.
ing the debate which postponed ac-
ton on the pending motion to recon-
nit the shipping bill. Senator Pom
creme, Democrat, Ohio. also proposed
substitute legislation. providing for
indirect aids to American shipping,
which he said would involve abroga-
tiOn of the treaties

BAPTIST PASTORS
JOIN IN CURLING
DIVORCE WEDDINGS

Marriage Of divorced persons was
dealt a body-blow Monday when the
Baptist Minister'S association passed
a resolution in which all Baptist
ministers in Atlanta put themselves
on record that they will not perform
marriage ceremonies in which either
party to thecontract has a former
husband or wife living, except in
case the innocent party to the di-
vorce obtained decree on the New
Testament grounds of marital inf
deity.
This action Of the Baptist minis
tiers follows action taken about a
month ago by the Evangelical Min
isters' Association of Atlanta, which
is composed of representatives from
the various denominations in At
lanta, in passing a similar resolu-
ton.
Similar organizations in many cit
les throughout the country have
banned marriage Of divorced per
sons and the individual denomina-
lions of Atlanta appear to be falling
into line.
The Methodist minister's associa-
ton of Atlanta, was to have discuss
ed the question Monday but deferred
it until next Monday. However,
practically all Methodist ministers
in the city signed the resolution as
passed by the Evangelical Ministers
association.
DR.. Willis S. Wilson, pastor of
the Gordon Street Presbyterian
church, and head of the Presbyterian
Ministers association in the city,
stated Monday that he did not think
the pastors of his denomination
would take any further action as
they considered the action of the
Evangelical Ministers association
conclusive.

People Of the South
Are the Best, "BiIly"
Sunday Tells Columbia

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 26-"Billy''
Sunday declared war against hell
with all the power that he could
muster up for six weeks fight with
the devil beginning here Sunday.
The noted evangelist began his re-
vival in Columbia preaching three
sermons to congregations that more
than filled the tabernacle. Hun
dreds were turned away at each
service. and many of those who were
able to gain admission were forced
to stand. -
The revival campaign was auspi-
ciously opened with addresses of well
come by Governor Mcleod, mayor
| Coleman and President Melton, of
the University of South Carolina.
BILLY" Sunday replied to the ad-
dresses by saying that he was more
than glad to be in the south, the real
home of American ideals and pa
! triotism.
Before commencing. his opening
sermon the evangelist referred to the
many southern cities that he had
visited, mentioning first Knoxville,
where he said truly good people
livedg The preacher referred to At
lanta as the great southern metropo-
| lis, and to Birmingham and other
places where he said hospitality
could not be excelled.
In form that even an athlete
would envy, BILLY" Sunday proceed
ed into what he called knocking
the devil for the count" and in the
three rounds that he went with his
satanic majesty, BILLY" was victor.
I'VE are making money in Amer
lea by the bushel full, but we are
going to hell in carload lots on eX'
cursion rates." the evangelist TOLD
his congregation of 1000. He waXet
warm in his condemnation of pres.
ent-day immortality in preaching or
| Belshazzar's feast and the ten com
mandments.
you're lucky you live in the south
and don't see the rotten conditions
that exist elsewhere, but don't think
that in every section of this country
people are living clean lives" he
shouted. 'T tell that to the people
in the north, too, and they can't de.
ny it. The best people live in the
south, whether it be in South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Tennessee or Ala
bama."
BILLY" took fling at the Yankee:
who are prone to laugh at the south
ern stock and the veteran who wore
grey. Those men are the heroe!
of the land, while the men of blue
were bold, the men from Dixie were
| brave"

CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING
Department Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

question arises: Can the farmer
get his cotton from his hands
into the spinners' hands with
out giving one crop in every five
for the privilege? I think he
can.
I asked Mr.. Conwell, the presi-
dent, how much the overhead
expenses, not including the
storage and insurance, would be
per bale. He said this, that
if they could handle good
quantity, which they hope to do
in 1923, that they could handle
it for around one dollar per bale.
Now, it looks reasonable that
the mill man who wants a thou
sand bales of certain grade
and staple would be willing to
pay more for it when he can get
it from one man and not have
to zen all over the country to
find what he wants.
Cooperative marketing is the
intelligent merchandising of a
given commodity instead of
dumping it on the market re-
gardless of price or that needs Of
the market. Under the system
we now follow, every fellow for
himself, may be twenty farmers
will think Atlanta is the place to
sell a car of potatoes, we will
say. They all ship car up
there. and go up to sell them out
and find the thing is over done,
twenty farmers all competing
against each other to get rid Of
his potatoes. We know the re-
suits. And maybe there is an
other city not far away that is
out of potatoes the same day.
There is where the consumer
gets on at.
Cooperative marketing gives
to the consumer graded prod
ucts, packages arranged to suit
the trade and the supply con-
trolled so that one city will not
be over supplied and another
city undershipped. which will
mean eXhorbitant prices to the
consumer on one hand and
starvation price in both cases
to the farmer.
I believe that IL we had a
statewide sweet potato growers
association so we could get
enough pooled just as MIR.
Hawkins wanted the farmers to
pool them in a small way, and
then advertise and hunt for the
market that use potatoes, we
could grow and sell potatoes at
profit to the grower. We can
never do it individually. We
need not say sit can't be done,
you can't organize old farmers,
when there are something like
one million farmers in the
United States who are pooling
end selling their products, all
the way from eggs to cotton.
But you are right, they don't
organize the farmer, they or
ganize the commodity which is
to be sold. We must all agree
that the farmers are united on
one thing and that is to get the
best price possible for what they
have to sell, and you can't much
blame them at present. And
that is the one idea that is going
to make him stick to the CO.
operative association.
I am for the movement and
have already signed up.

Treasure Chest Hidden
During Civil War Is
Uncovered by Dog

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. PA
dog, clawing frantically in tower
near an ante-bellum homestead, UNI
covered a priceless treasure chest,
filled with gold and silver coins and
plate of the Saunders family at
CORTLAND, Ala.
Miss Josephine Saunders, one of
the seasons debutantes here, is
hefress to the fortune which has for
years been considered a myth.
An old family legend was that an
aged negro had hidden a chest of
money and silver during the Civil
war, and that he had died of apo
plexy before he could get back to his
masters
Searches at intervals for forty
years brought no trace of the for
tune, and the family dismissed it as
IAN old mammy's tale"
Miss Saunders has been informed
here that the find is authentic, and
that the value of the relics is great.
Gold coins, none of later date than
1860, and some dating back to 1890,
were in the treasure chest.

The railroad commissions of Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Virginia and Mississippi,
as a result of correspondence, have
agreed to file soon with the inter
state commerce commission petit
ton asking that interstate passen-
ger fares be reduced from $50 cents

president of the Mississippi railroad
commission, announced here today.
Mr.. Morgan stated that the move
would be made in an attempt to off

recent order of the commerce com
mission that the railroads issue

would be the case, the commission
said. because Of the fact that spot
prices are largely quoted on the
basis of futures and probably they
are absolutely influenced by them
to some extent"
The commission reported that the
volume of cotton future trading in
the last four crop years ranged
from about 104, 700, 900 bales in 1920
81 to.about 124 200, 900 bales in 1921
%. Roughly stated, the report said,
the volume in 191S-19 was nine
times the size of the crop, in 1919
20 nearly eleven times that in l92O-2I
a little less than eight times, and
in 1922 over fifteen and one-halt
times.
Senator Dial, Democrat, South
Carolina, 4author of the resolution
under which the commission acted
issued the following statement:
"I am delighted at the decision
Of the federal trade commission
holding that the present cotton flu
lures contract law operates lnJurl-
ously to the grower of cotton. L
knew there could be no other de-
cision rendered, but to satisfy con-
gress and people who are posted, L
had this resolution passed.
South Loses by Method
'"There is not the least shadow of
doubt but what the south had
been forced to sell its cotton at a
greatly reduced price since the civil
war. The present law improved the
custom that was in vogue so long,
but it does not go far enough. 1t pro
vided that there be ten grades OF
cotton tenderable on contract and
the seller Of the contract (whO IS
usually against the growers) has the
right to deliver any one of ten grades
on the contract at an adjusted price,
hence no one would give as much
for this kind of contract as he
would for one specifying the next
grade. The price of the contract
practically fixes the price of the spot
cotton; therefore, there should be a
fair, mutual and equitable contract.
at is no answer to the argument
to say that the buyer Of a contract
knew he had unequal rights in the
matter, but the result of this is that
he would not give as much as he
would for definite contract, he buy.
ing it at a discount, but the UNI
fortunate part is that this depreci'
ated contract fixes the price of
growers cotton.
II will look forward with interest
to the recommendations Of the fed
eral trade commission for remedy
| My pending amendment insists upon
more definiteness in the contract.
There should be no further trouble
now in getting the law amended.
By so doing, the law of supply and
! demand will be allowed to function
fairly, the price of cotton will rise
and thus help the growers greatly
the manufacturers and exporters will
know what they are doing, and
| legitimate dealing with exchanges
| will be improved"
