COTTON RECEIPTS
BY GEORGIA POOL
SURPASS '23 TOTAL
Biggest Farmers of State
Are Turning to Co-opera-
tive Marketing Plan
By EDWIN CAMP

GeOrgia'S cooperative Gotten mar
keting association already has re-
ceived from members over 5000
more bales of cotton than it handled
during the entire previous season.
Receipts up to November / totaled
1894 bales. The total for last sea-
son was 10000 bales, in round num-
berS.
Many thousand bales are yet to be
received from south Georgia mem
bers; the crop in middle Georgia is
hardly more than half ginned, and
the movement from north Georgia is
just beginning in earnest.
Association officials are making no
predictions but indicate they would
not be surprised if the seasons total
exceeds 1926 900 bales.
$5,G50,315 Payment
Already pool members have re-
ceived advance payments amounting
to $5,050,575. Daily receipts are
running between 1,50O and 1000
bales. Monday, October 20, was the
biggest day of the season, with re.
ceipts of 1880 bales.
The most gratifying feature of the
season to officials is the confidence
in the association shown by the larg-
er planters of the state. yhe bigger
planters naturally are the better
business men among the growers,
and when the ablest of farmers
abandon the old custom of individual
selling and turn their harvest over
to the association for orderly mar
keting, the act is taken as the high
est Endorsement DOSSible
J II. Dorminy, of Fitzgerald, al
ready has delivered 462 bales from
his crop this year. Last Monday he
sent in 443 bales, on which his ad-
vance payment amounted to $4,000.
Other planters Of statewide promi-
hence who have ceased to guess
when to sell and who believe an
average of the seasons prices is best
for them are w. M. Sutton, of Clay
county, who has sent in 407 bales.
and j. A. Wilson, Of Bulloch county,
who has delivered 392 bales to date.
New Members Every Day
New members are being taken in
every day, many of them coming
without solicitation, officials say,
and it seems likely that the present
membership of over 10000 will be
greatly increased before the end of
the season.
Reports of progress by the other
eleven cotton associations in other
states have come to me, and tie re-
ceipts of these associate are far
in excess of what they were this
time last year Further, it is en-
couraging to know that hundreds OF
new members are signing up in the
different associations each week
during delivery season, which has
not been true during the past two
seasons that we have marketed our
cotton comparatively" was the com
ment on the work of the cooperative
associations made by J. E. Conwell,
president and manager of the asso-
citation in this state.

MELLON PLAN BENEFITS
SEEN IN e. q p GIE'T


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Another
statement given out at Democratic
committee headquarters Saturday as
sailed the Republican campaign con-
tributions list and declared that
many of those who contributed
would benefit materially by a revis-
ion of the tax law along the lines Of
the Mellon plan.
The statement included a long list
of the largest contributors to the Re
publican war chest and compared the
amount of income tax they paid last
year with the amount they would
have paid under the reduced surtaX
rates of the Mellon proposal.
Another statement given out at
Democratic headquarters declared
the quadrennial slush fund collec-
ton in West Virginia by Republican
campaign committee" has brought on
a strike" of 900 convicts in the
MoundsvilIe penitentiary.
For years past said the state
ment, the Republicans have beer
assessing the contractors who are
utilizing West Virginia s convict Ia
Dor for the manufacture of convict
made goods. Every time, according
to information quite general in West
Virginia, that the Republican slush
fund collectors squeeze a large cam
paI9n tribute out of the contractors,
the contractors recoup themselves
by squeezing more work out of the
conyicts.

Decision as to whether the SEN
ate committee investigating cam.
paign funds will submit a partial re-
port before the election on the testi.
mony produced at the hearings in
Washington and Chicago was held
in allegiance tonight pending a con-
ference between members of the
committee, probably Monday.
Chairman BOrah said tonight that
although he had very positive
ideas" bearing on the testimony and
thought a statement should be issued
for the benefit of the public, he did
not feel he should issue a statement
until he had obtained the views of
the other members of the commit
tee. He reached washington late
today from Chicago, where he and
Senator Shipstead. Farmer-Labor.

corning campaign financing.

S15,0O0,0OO FUND
CHARGED To c. D. P.
BY SLUSH PROBERS
Senate Ina uiry 'BareIy
Scratched Surface" Attor-
neys for La Toilette Assert

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The senate
inquiry into campaign fund contri-
buttons has barely scratched the
surface" and the Republican slush
fund will be found to. amount to
SIS, 1000, 900, according to a Joint
statement issued here today by
Frank p. Walsh and Samuel Inter
myer, attorneys for Senator La
Toilette.
The statement speaks of a vast,
undisclosed fund" and says one par
ticular item of proof of the La
Toilette charges will be supplied by
the testimony by two persons who
vouch for the accuracy Of the dOcu-
ments they have furnished. The
testimony has been held UP "be-
cause counsel were unwilling to
have this story broadcast on the
eve of election until it had been
thoroughly corroborated."
The attorneys base their belief of
the 5000, 900 fund on evidence
that huge sums have been collected
for senatorial and congressional cam
paigns that have not passed through
the hands of the national commit
tee. They also declare the $3.50, 600
total given out by the G. o. FS treas
urer in charge Friday has been con-
siderably augmented since then.
"Under the skilfull, guiding hand
of ]. P. Morgan & Co." was the fl
nancing of the Republican campaign
conducted, the statement charges.
Dwight Morrow is named as the
firms "ablest and most resource
full member" through whom the
MorgOn company worked.
After fiaying the ''subsidizing OF
German-American newspapers, the
assessment of government en-
ployes, and the political activities
of railroad heads the statement
outlines what it calls a real corrupt
practices act" embOdying among
others the following features:
/. Limiting the total contributions
and expenditures i'll behalf of any
party in a national campaign from
all sources of $1,0O0,000 Untermy-
er's figures, or $500 900 (Walsh's).
2. All contributions should be
made not less than two weeks before
election.
3. Virtual elimination of indirect

EXPECT AMB0Y
AVENUE ACTION
Aldermen Likely to Authorize
Supplemental Contract at
Meeting Here Tonight

1t is likely that the aldermen will
tonight take the long delayed action
which will make it possible for
in charge of the work. to go ahead
and finish the paving of Amboy
avenue.
The contractor has been ready for
some time to go anead and finish
the work so that the new road
might be open to the heavy shore
traffic this spring and summer but
the aldermen have continued to de-
lay the appropriation of the money
necessary to pay ror the additional
cinder or stone fill made necessary
IN the construction or the remainder
OF the road because of the condition
of the soil. The road goes through
clay pits and sub-base of cinders
or stone must be laid for drainage
If the road Is to care for the heavy
traffic without breaking up. state
and city engineers have said.
The aldermen have put off au-
thorizing the additional work in
hopes that the state would assist the
city. The state has fatty refused 10
do this, not being IN sympathy with
the route of the new road, and the
city must now bear the entire addi-
tlonal expense. A persistant de-
mand for the completion of the road
Is being made and 1t is expected the
aldermen will act tonight. There
are other matters of Importance
scheduled to come before the board
at this meeting.
