Tha par autnent Injunction la la •uhatantlally tha lama tarms aa tha temporary! restraining order I—id by Judge Ly on several waaka ago. Judge Daniala required tha tobacco aaaoeiation to furnish a four thoua and dollar bond in aach caa* to pro tect tha iotaraat of the defsndaata, which waa ronaidarad a reasonable amount by tha co-oparativee, aa ap , proximately thirty-thousand pounds of tobacco la involved in eacM caaa. The Co-operative! inatitutod suit against aach of the defendants for alleged da ma gea to the amount of 6 cents a pound for all tobacco so id by them outside of the association and for ooansel fees amounting,' accord ing to the complaint io |360. These caaes will take their places on the' regular court calendar in Nash coun ty Meantime the injunctions continue I in force, and the defendants can dis pose of no tobacco outside of the aaaoeiation. The granting of the in junctions to prevent violations of the contracts of members of tobacco aaaoeiation Is of far more importance, however, than securing damages for tobacco sold outside the association aa this will enforce delivery of to bacco to the aaaoeiation by members, if Judge Daniels la upheld by the lapwme Court, and In any event deliverlea caa l» enforced until the hfefter Court passes on the question, i Co-operativea are confident that the lower ceurt will be sustained. That an appeal will be taken to the Supreme court waa understood from the beginning of tha legal fight, but tha granting of ths in junctions today gtvaa ths co-opera tives a substantial advantage aa the legal enforciblltty of ths contracts with members Is sstabliahed and can ssly ha overthrown through aa ad verse deeiaion by tha higher courts, and the co-operatives an given legal standing far this season In any event aa it srill (a aome time before tha higher can paaa on H. The co-operatives hava bean vary confidant that tha legality of tha eootract would be upheld, by Judge Daniala after tha three-day hearing In NaahvMle last week when every flail of the subject was discussed at length by able eouael. At tha conclusion of the evidence offered in the two esses, Judge Dan iala told counsel for both sidss that tha main question In his mind was whether or not the oontracta of the oo-operstives are valid. The larger part of the discuaaion hinged on that point,, and his deeiaion today holds that it Is valid.

FACTORS Of WEALTH r B*iWr VJmdmtte*M T« SWw By CoraptriaMi Ttat RepeWka* Party LtiiUti la Tk l» tamt Of Tk* MwyaJ CUaa Against TU Amtp Mm Spray, Oct. 17.—J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh, >idnwri tlM democratic voters of litis community today open in* the fall ctmptip In tkla Imme diate territory. Mr. Bailey undertook to nhow how the republican party haa legit la ted with a view to paying aff campaign contribution rather than for the welfare of the people. The ■tat la teal matter contained In hia addreaa, ha laid, wai worked out from a romparlaon of the revenue act of t»ia with the revenue act of 1M1. Theee atetemenu ara apparently significant and would aaam to leave the republican party In a defenaeleee poaltlon. Mr. Bailey quoted from The Con greasional Record the atory of Wrlgley, the chawing gum king, who he laid inveated 126,000 In the re publican (tarty, and the republican party promptly repealed the tax upon hewing gum, thereby saving him on 'hia item alone half a million dollar*. He attempted to show up the republi can party haa been utterly perverted and la actually controlled by thoae whom Roosevelt termed the "male factor* of great wealth," and plead with the democrats In North Caro lina to keep their party clean, and to continue the fight in the Intereeta of the people. Mr. Bailey paid a tribute to Wood row Wilson, who he said thaae men hated and hounded because he would not yield to them. "They drove Rooaevelt into exile," he declared. "They beat Rooaevelt, but they could not beat Wilson. For eight years they sought his destruction. At length he fell in battle, upon the rampart*, the flag of peace for the world and freedom for all men in hia hand*. Than they had their way. The republican party came in." < The republican party, ha declared, haa been able to give the wealthy, who did not need It, a billion dollara, "bat not one penny for the boys who fought the great war at a dollar a day." The profiteers who contribut ed to the republican campaign fund have received minions and hundreda of milliona ha declared, "but the boys who saved America and the world get nothing; the country la too poor to pay them." "Our country is tat peril We are not menaced by the 'Rede.' Wo cm handle ttym. Wo an Dot menaced by the I. W. W. Industrial slacker iira cannot grow to dangaroua pro portion* la oar American atmosphere. Wa are not in danger of Bolaheil— Hut (Ira will be quenched of itself in time. The .peril of America la the pur^haae of privilege by man of great wealth. "Then ia a gnat and growing claaa of men in oar country who con trive to purchaae tax exemption and commercial privilege of the political partiee by meana of campaign con tribution». They elect partiee to aerve them. They defeat Candida tea who will not aerve them. They elect Candida tea who will do their will— who will give them apaeial and wealth producing prfvilegee. "Theae men operate in and upon all political partiea. Theae men hated and hounded Wood row Wilaoa into defeat becaoae ha would not yield to them. They did not can about the league of nations. They wanted to beat Wllaon becaoae he atood in the way of their thievery. They elected the republican party in 1M0. They set up a propaganda in thia country that footed millions of voter*. They seised upon ovary poaalble aource of discontent famed R into flames, or ganised it and directed it to one end —the defeat of Wilson and the elec tion of Harding. They had found Wilson adament to their wills. They named Harding at Chicago. "Theae men wen known to Roose velt. He called them "malefactors of gnat wealth." Ha spoke of them aa the predatory claaa—the claaa that preys upon the other elasaes. They drove Rooeevelt into exila. They beat Roosevelt; but Wilaon they could not beat. For eight yean they sought hia destruction. At length 4a fell hi battle, upon the ramparta, the flag of peace for the world and freedom for all man In Ida hands. Than they had thely way. The republican party came in. "We have had now for two yean a period- wholly devoted to thoee predatory men, those malefartors of great wealth. They have ran the country to M»t themselves. "TWy km oar Uu lews— 'artff and internal wwnw. "They bava w msde Um internal revenue law* that the bo Han haa been lakanP (root the rick and put upon thoee of moderate ouam Kara afa the facta: "A man srith mi incoma of 9160,009 pay* <2,000 laaa income tax than ha did undar tha Wilaon administration.

Harding himaelf *ay* that tha daficit thia year will ba 9460,000,000 and some think it will bo a billion. a "A* a conaequence tha aoldiar* have been denied compensation. Tha republican party could five tha wealthy, who did not need it, a bil lion dollars. But not one penny for tha boy* who fought at a dollar a day. Tha profiteer* who contributed to tha republican campaign fund have received itilliona and hundred* of million*. The boy* who aaved tha country and tha world get nothing; the country id too poor to pay tham. "Secretary Weak*, in tka 1990 campaign, told the profiteer* that R would ba • good investment to coo tribute to the republican campaign fund. It was. "Um income tax ia not the wily instance of republican legislation for tha purposee of rewarding tha cam paign contributors. Tha new tariff law la nothing mora or la as than a avatem of taxation on imports for tha enrichment, at tha coat of con sumers. of tha potaah men, tha augar men, the leather man, the a teal man, tha woo tan men, tha dye-men and tha citrus fruit man. The combination muatared a dough congreeamen and senators to put through • law that confsssedly la intended to increase the riches of Just a few representatives of special interests. The American laboring man and tha American farm er are hearing that the law protects them. Two years will open their eyes. "On this whole subject the story of Wrigley, the chewing gum king, throw* i flood of light. I take it /rota The Congrteaional Record, pace 14,273: "During the last campaign Mr. Wrig ley, the chewing gum king, made substantial financial contriba tioiu to the campaign fund. It waa a splendid .investment. Tbe< republi can Congreaa promptly repealed the tax upon chewing gam. The report of the commissioner of internal re venue for 1920 show* that in that year the tax upon chewing gum manufactured in minoia amounted to IM1.772.M. Mr. Wrigley ia the on* large manufacturer fat that state, and it ia fair to aaaum* that of the total tax paid in the state he paid approximately a half million dollar*. The repeal of the tax tared him thia amount, and H waa not surprising to leam from the praaa that at a re cent meeting of republican l*ad«rs Mr. Wrigl*y announced that ha was no orator, but that "money talks? an rabdfcribed 125,000 and «xpr*s*ed his willingness to give an additional 126,000 if needed. The facta Indicate he ought to giv* a much larger ram, and he probably will. "Evidently Wrigley belietea that it pays to contribute aa well aa to advertise. He took Secretary Week* at his word. That $25,000 was one of the beat paying investment* Wrig ley ever made. "Ladle* and gentlemen, those are the evidence* that malefactor* of great wealth ar* using the republi can party to exploit our country. Our laws, our taxation law*, are made in reward for money, not In the interest of the common welfare. These men are not* in politic* for service, nor for power nor for office nor for honor. They are in politic* for «HM|. "The power of mtnwf la politic# la the chief parll of to nwiiy | Let aa not 00,000 tons. And Mne-tenths of it comes from artificial, cultivated plantations in ths Dutch and British East Indies. "Perhaps you sometimes idly won der how rubber is made. But you never really pee the picture. The i thousands and thousands of "native' laborers, working in the tempera ture of s Turkish bath. The scien tists—chemists and agricultural ex perts—studying rubber, finding out what kind of plants give the most and the best juice with the least labor. The chaps from our univer sities, who sit out thsre In ths jungle, neglecting their own fevers to study the diseases of rubber, bit ten raw by mosquitoes while they boil poisons in test tube* to kill the bugs ' that attack the plants—all this for the comfort of those who accept tt ss a nutter of course."

Bagby Company of, Richmond, Va., Tha Tobacco Pra ducts Corporation and several large exporters of bright tobacco. The Association officials hope to gain as customers tha one or two other large domestic companies which have not made parchaae* from tha Association op to the prtsint time. The only other companiaa of impor tance which have not purchased the Asaociatioa tobacoa to date are Brit' tsh companies, Including tha Export and Imperial companies of Great Britain. The hMvy deliveries of the put week km already proved the satis faction of the fifty t ho—sad mem ban from the old belt of North Carolina and Virginia In the market ing system and the eaah advances of the!*, association. Hundred* of co-operative farmers from western North Carolina will enter Winston-Salem about November ftret whefethe big new warehouse of the Association will be completed by P»gft Brother* and Company, j This will mark the entrance of the Association into the last (exclusive stronghold of the auction system in the Carolines. The conduct of the suit of the To bacco Growers'Co-operative Associa tion against contract breakers has stirred enthusiasm and routed a new fighting spirit among the Eastern Carolina growers which are indicated by the tncreaaing number of local organisations and the large deliveries this week upon eo-operative floors throughout the eastern halt. Several growers who admitted to selling tobacco outside of the Asso ciation haw voluntarily offered to pay the five cenUnliquidated dam ages required for breach of contract in the marketing agreement, though la on* case the offending member stated the amount was saors than his tobacco brought on the auction floors. Since a thousand or more tobacco Kiowers came to Naafiville this weak and witnessed the legal battle of their Association in upholding Its contract a wave of loyalty has swept among the organiaed fanners of the East. According to dispatches from Ken tucky 68,000 of the 70,000 members of the Bur ley Tobacco Growers Co operative Association will share to the result ef the sale Oi the pool's holdings as UJOO of the members have been added since last year's crop was sold, b la calculated that sixty-eeven freight trains of fifty rare each will ha required to carry the 54,000,000 pounds sold by the asaociattoo.
