PRICE: 5 CENTS MOORE SUGGESTED AS SUCCESSOR TO SEC 'T, CHEATHAM . ' v .... Georgia and the Carolines will Demand the. Retirement of Secretary Cheatham who has Been Found Guilty of Dealing in Futures. . Editor Poe Writes to Central Exec utive' Committee to Suggest the Name of State President 0. C. Moore for the High Posi tion. A News representative learned to day that Mr. C. C. Moore, President of the North Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Growers Association will likely be named as the successor to Secretary Cheatham who has re cently been found guilty of dealing in cotton futures, and who will be asked to resign the position he now occu pies. The special committee appointed 13 investigate the charge of gambling preferred against Mr. Cheatham by a member of the Georgia legislature found him guilty of the charge and the county cotton association of North and South Carolina and Georgia are clamoring in no uncertain tones to juave him retired from the high posi tion ne now occupies. Township meetings will be held throughout this State next Saturday at which time it is thought probable that definite action will be taken against Mr. Cheatham. It is certain that the members will at least enter their pro test against his services and the mat ter will be placed before the executive committeee at their next meeting the first, week in September. The News learn3 that the friends of Mr. C. C. Moore, the popular presi dent of the North Carolina division will urge his election as Secretary of the Southern Cotton Growers Associa tion. i . Mr. Clarence H. Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant who recently returned from a trip through Georgia and the Carolinas has written a letter to the members of the national committee demanding that Mr. Cheatham be removed from the office . of secretary, saying that such action is vital to the future o the association" And in the letter which he has addressed is the sugges tion of the name, and hearty endorse ment, of Mr. C. C.. Moore, for the po sition. Mr. Poe's letter is as follows: - "After seeing farmers in North Car olina, South Carolina and-Georgia, in the . last two weeks, I am convinced that the only way for the Southern Cotton Association to maintain its prestige and hold the confidence of the farmers, is to retire Mr. Cheatham, the secretary. This is unquestion able. "In this connection I think I am doing the association, in which I have always been interested, a good service, by suggesting as his successor Mr. C. C. Moore, president of the North Caro lina division of the association. I do this without his knowledge or con sent, and solely because he is the sort of man who would carry to the office . high character, aggressive ef ficiency, and devoted service, and I believe that the association would be helped by electing him. He is a man who inspires confidence and then jus tifies that confidence by the results of his untiring labor. He has both abuity and character to make him worthy of any place within the gift of the association. I do not believe that you could get a more efficient secre tary, and I hope that you will con sider him at your meeting." It is an assured fact that North Car olina will co-operate to secure the election of the industrious president of the North Carolina division of the association. All that Editor Poe has said in commendation of Mr. Moore will be substantiated by the many friends of Mr. Mooro throughout the. State and while they will regret the loss of an officer so energetic and so singly enthusiastic, she will join in a concerted effort to secure for him this high position of honor and responsi- . bility. . . Mr. Moore's interest in the future of the association and his concern for the farmers generally has been a matter of much conversation throughout the entire State. He has spared neither personal effort nor expense in carrying the organization in this State to a high point of efficiency. His friends in this section where he is especially popular will learn with no little pleasure of his probable promotion in the Southern Cotton Growers Associa tion. , State Biologist Reports. : Superintendent of Water Works, I.
