ADDRESS BEFORE STATE BANKERS Recommends a Balanced, Self-Sustaining I Agricul ture and Increase of Man ufacturing Industries. ■ i i. * L Pinehurst, X. Ma.v 4. (By thp As sociated Press). —A lie Inured, self sustaining agriculture, intelligent mar keting oiid a (•ontinuod Increase of manufacturing industries were recom mended for the South today liy Clar ence Ousley, Fort Worth, Texas, for merly assistant secretary of agricul tuie, in an address before the North Carolina Bnukers Association, after declaring' a distinct-improvement in iiusiness conditions Ims tieen - noted throughout the country. Calling attention to two years ago, when a lnrge part of the agricultural, commercial and financial lalslnesw of the South was confronted with bank ruptcy through liquidation of debts. Mr. Ousley said that today indebted ness for the most part has lieen reduc ed to the proportions of prudent, ac commodation to operating concerns and money is easy for every legiti mate and promising undertaking. "Then,” he continued, “cotton, our principal product, could he sold only sparingly at less than pre-wnr prices and at about half the cost of produc tion. Today, it sells freely at more titan twice pre-war prices and well above the cost of production. Today, we linve searbely enough to last the mills until another crop comes in. ‘‘On the surface of the situation the obvious fact of a supply well within demand appears to lie the ohly cause of the remarkable transformation from near bankruptcy to comparative pros lierlty. ‘lt is, indeed, the most poten tial factor, though not the only factor, but it is itself in its true analysis more effect than cause. “To adjust the supply of nny com modity to demand is instnhtly to es tablish economic value and to com mand the liest price that buyers are üble to pay. So when we say that cqjton has recovered bemuse supply is within demand we mean that the trade equilibrium is restored, which is merely another way of saying the same thing. The cause of the effect remains to lie stated. “It is scarcely worth while now to discuss cotton acreage for 192:1. fin; crops are pitched, if not planted. But it will not be amiss to state a few outstanding facts which way affect values and credits. "At the present rate of consumption, the world will need about twenty mil lion bnles of cotton in 1923-24. As the production of 1922-23 was only about seventeen million bales, the unthink ing jump at the conclusion that the near famine which is now apparent warrants all the acreage that can lie put under the plow. Tl»ey overlook two important, factors. <the, is 'bat a consumption of twenty million bales may be reduced to seventeen millions, ns it was four years ago. without caus ing wholesale arrests for nakedness. The other is that, for the Inst two years the South lias produced only about half the world's supply and that if the other producing regions increase acreage as much as we. seem to lie do ing! the total supply may considerably exceed the demand. “If we Increase the acreage by fif teen per cent, and have the aVre yield of 1922, my guess is that 25 cent cot ton will only be a memory. “Those who reckon the boll weevil as insurance against over-product : ou are ignorant or forgetful. With fav orable weather we have made cotton In spite of the weevil: without favorable weather we can ''make but little though free of the weevil. Besides, If we must maintain supply with the de gree' of weevil damage now popularly anticipated, cotton will beu nprwfltable below present prices, and present prices loiig Continued will certainly de velop cotton growing in other coun “The south has no monopoly on . the cotton plant.

C HEAPER AND BETTER TRANSPORTATION NEEDED So Says President of Illinois Central Railroad to Foreign Trade Conven tion. A (By the Associated Press.) New Orlenns, May 4. —The choice between cheaiier and better transpor tation in our nntional railway policy is the big question Os the day, H. Markham, president, of the Illinois Central Railroad, told the tenth an nual foreign trade convention here to day. “Your secretary has referred to the need for cheaper and better transpor tation. 1 wish lie had placed the bet ter ahead of the cheaper, as indicat ing the side of the alternative that ought to be attended to first," said Mr. Mitrkham. "No reduction in rates is worth while if it wrecks our railroads,? Mr. Markham added. "If nny imme diate cheapening of railway rates is desirable, the way for the public to attuin it is to help the railroads cut down operating costs and taxes, the latter a burden of ever-increasing size. "Despite occasional reverses occur ring in years of depression, produc tion and commerce are increasing. Be tween lOil and 1920, for example, the number of tons hauled one mile by the railroads increased approximately 02 per cent. In the same period of time the aggregate tractive power of the locomotives owned h.v the rail roads increased only 44 per cent., and the aggregate capacity of the freight cars increased only about 20 per cent, 'the arrested expansion of the rail roads has taken place just at the time of increased expansion of aimed ev err other line of Am -rienn business. Three human factors glamor for at tention in any solution or the railway problem. They are the patrons, who receive transportation service and pay for it in. freight rates and passenger fares: the employes, who provide the service add receive wages for so do ing; and the owners, who invested in tin* properties nml who profit by the return, if any is realized. At preset it tne benefits accruing to these groups are fitly well divided, although the| o.vners have been receiving r constant ly decreasing proportion. If nny re adjustment is to be made under pres ent (auditions, it must lie carefully handled if the prevailing balance is not to lie disturbed. “if transportation charge! are- to be appreciably reduced at present it wifi be done at Lhe expense of the railroad owners or their employes or both. If it is at the expense of the employes, there will lie further labor unrest and consequent interruptions of service by strikes or breakdowns in morale. If it is nt the expense of the owners, there will lie prompt cessation of the railway tirojecjs for. improved service 'already- lannched. Either sit uation promises trouble for those who expect to lienetit permanently liy a re duction in rates. “My message to you is to build, not to tear down; to plan for next year and for ten years from now. rather than merely for tomorrow: and I promise you that the genius which ! made American railroads great in the earlier days will become evident again, to the lasting benefit of us all.” With Our Advertisers.

C„ a crowd of enrious spectators stood nronnd a strange machine known as an nirship, and with one accord de clared : “Huh! That thing will never leave the ground.” But it did. , Under the guidance of Orville Wright, the contrivance arose falteringly and spent a few minifies in the air, groaning and creaking. Avia tion in America had become a reality. In spite of this initial success, fiofditful ones who witnessed and read of the achievement still said: “Well, they'll never get anywhere with a contraption like that." Today in a -hangar at Rockwell Field near here there stands a lineal descendant of that "contraption;’ which only day before yesterday stood in a hangar at Hempstead, X.

Holding the last meeting of their regime, the aldermen Thursday night considered a number of street matters, passed several ordinances and devoted some time to a number of proposi tions that proved unfavorable to them. The. board was in session until 10:30 and they leave the affairs of the city in good shape for the board that will he elected Tuesday. As Ims been the case during the past several meetings street matters were the most important question presented t» tlie all ter men In (he, Inst meeting they will hold lieforetfhe final curtain is dropped on their administration. Having started a paving fad here the iioard members find it hard to get away from' paving petitions, and to the hist they fought to get away from requests for improved streets. And they were not entirely successful in their efforts, for such ihsistance for a pavement on Chestnut Street was shown that the iioard ordered the street asphalted, and then it refused to talk paved streets again. The street will be paved down as far as Georgia Avenue, the last peti tion making this request. A cement sidewalk will lie built on tly> west side of White Street between Grove and Depot streets,, this work being authorized by the lionrd. Several property owners on West! Depot Street agreed to give the city j ten feet of land to be used ns an ad-1 dltion to the street if the city would j have it paved. The agreement was made and this street will be widened \ ten feet between Spring Street and the building occupied by the A. & I*. Ten j Company. The city plans to start the work of widening this street in the near future. W. M. Linker offered the city six feet of land on Church Street, begin ning at Depot Street and running back 210 feet, If the city would accent and I pave it. The city 'agreed to do this, j and thus part of Church Street will Ije six feet wider when -the wqrk is com pleted.
