VOL. XLVII Gov. Morrison Makes Request of Newspapers Does Not Want Case of State Against Railroads in Tax Matter Prejudiced —Cooperative Cotton Marketing Campaign to Close 15th—Good Progress Toward Cooperative To- J>acco Selling—State Fair Will be Biggest this Year, Both as to At tendance and Exhibits. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, Oct;. 11.—With the biggest of all the circuses here this week and with the State Fair in full bloom all of next week, Raleigh is besieged by the visitors here and to come in probably greater numbers than be fore. The people will come large ly in automobiles from hundreds of miles around, as they have been doing of years (only a little more so this year), and most of them will return home without having to resort to accommoda tions over night at the crowded hotels and rooming houses —a fact which makes it easier for thoße coming from a distance to secure accommodations, which are being provided now more amply than ever before. > The fair will sur pass all previous fairs in excel lence and size and attendance, and the great "family reunion of North Carolinians" will be en joyed proportionately, thousands of people meeting acquaintances and friends here fair week who Bee each other at no other time. More counties will make county exhibits than ever and the facili ties for handling all exhibits and attractions and the big crowds have been increased. Governor Makes Request. Governor Morrison makes an earnest request of the newspapers of tbis state that ought to be re spected, as it is made in the inter est of the state. In a signed communication to the Raleigh News and Observer, Governer Morrison presents the basis and reason for the requeue. The first paragraph in his com munication reads as follows: "Your editoriol in the case of the A. 0. L., the Southern Railway and others against the state of North Carolina is a misrepresent ation of what occured at the Greensboro hearing." After com menting on the inaccuracies refer red to, the Governor makes hie appeal to the press of the state, as follows: "This great cause involves great questions of state authority and power. I do hope the news papers of the state who think more of the state than they do of the railroads will refrain from Buch publications as will preju dice the state's case in the federal court. The attorney general of this state is a man of learning and ability. I have associated with him an ex-governer of the state, a former supreme court just ice, and the state's largest prac titioner in the federal courts. These gentlemen are able to de fend the rights of the state, and I am quite sure it will be done with as much ability as was ever dis played in any lawsuit in the his tory of this state. An appeal to the press of the state to allow this great cause to be fought out by these "great lawyers for the state without being hampered by news paper criticism until after its finish. "I am quite sure that every de fense the Btate can make in this action will be set? up in its answer to the railroads' complaint, and sustained with a display of learn ing, professional skill and ability that will not be overmatched by the great array of railroad'Tittor neys by whom they will be op posed. There has been no com promise of any principle involved in this case, and there Will be none. There was simply an agree- THE ALAMANCE GLEANER merit pending the first hearing that the state would not under take to force the collection of the tax, the justice of which is dis puted, and id the meantime the railroads will pay the amount they admit to be due and do not contest. The agreement extends only to the heaping on the ques tion of the injunction. Of course, if the injunction is made final, > lie state cannot collect the.tax until the suits are decided. If the in junction is not granted, then the state will be free to proceed to collect the tax. No harm what ever is done the state by such an agreement, further than it cannot collect the disputed tax for a few months, and these few months are absolutely essential to a proper presentation of the state's case " Co-operative Selling, The North Carolina Cotfbn As sociation will close its campaign Saturday, October 15th, and on the 18th instant the organization committee will district the state for the election of the ten direc tors who will have charge of the business of the association. Over 200,000 bales have already been signed up. v Co-operative marketing is the most important economic evolu tion in a generation, declares Dr. B. W. Kilgore, head of the North Carolina agricultural service, in a review of the organ ization movement. Over one hundred thousand farmers in the cotcon belt have signed the agreement for the co operative selling of thoir eottou, and all of the important cotton grow ing states are now engaged in promoting co-operative cotton associations," says Dr. Kilgore in a statement last night. "The, states in which these agreements are now being signed grow more than 90 per cent of all the cotton grown in the United States," Dr. Kilgore explained. "Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi and Arizona are aiready organized and either selling this year's crop or getting ready to do so. "Good prices are being gotten for the cotton sold through these associations, and it is being sold directly to the spinners, the large buyers and exporters," he con tinued. "In the case of Okla homa, at least, cotton brokers for certain groups of mills have located their offices at the same place as the co-operative selling association, and are buying direct from the associations for their mills, instead of getting it through many local buyers, as heretofore. Tobacco Growers Sign Up. "Between 40,000 and 50,000 to bacco growers have joined the selling associations for the collec tive or group selling of their to bacco iti the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Kentucky. Excellent progress is being made for getting the mini mum number of signers, repre senting one-half of the tobacco of these states for selling through their associations. "The Peanut Association, in cluding the growers in Virginia and North Carolina, numbering between 5,000 and 6,000, has com pleted its organization, elected its directors and general manager, And is now engaged in "elling the crop." Crusaders Needed Clarence Poe, Editor Progressive Farmer. The greatest work to bo done in North Carolina is not of a politi cal nature; it is the upbuilding of our agriculture and the de velopment of a greater rural civ ilization. More than a long gubernatorial campaign we need a red-hot. ten-year campaign to bring uo our average farm earn ings SSOO a year to the nornhern farm average; to establish a system of rural co-jpertion such as has revolutionized Denmark and Ireland; to 1» ngthen onr school term, strengthen compul sory attend»*ncif, and add what is now our most urievous educati onal lack-v i«racUoal system of rural instruction with text books and teacln r* adapted to farm life; and then Im-int roads, social ceutors, farm women's clubs, more white farmers from the north and west, and a wholesome and satisfying sjcial life for the farmer's wii'n and family. This is the work in the state which needs crusaders now. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1921 OLDEST ALUMNUS OF UNIVERSITY NATIVE OF ALAMANCE. Col. Carrigan of Arkansas, 93, Graduated at Chapel Hill 1850. The following sketch of the oldest living alumuus of the Uni versity is given in the last issue of the Alumni Review: "Succeeding to the mantle liid down last April by Dr. Alexander Boyd Hawkins (1845), of Raleigh, Oplonel Alfred Holt Carrigan (1850}, of Hope, Ark., is now at the age of 93 years the oldest living alumnus of the University of North Carolina. Colonel Car rigan played a prominent and patriotic part in war and he holds the high regard of his fellow citi zens in Hempstead county, Ark ansas, and of all who know him. "Colonel Carrigan was born April. 15, 1828,. in Alamauce c unty, near Graham, the son of W. A. Carrigan, Alamance county merchant and farmer, and Nancy Holt Cardigan. He was prepared for college at a private school in Hillsboro and came to Chapel Hill in the fall of 1846. In his days at Chapel Hill he tfas a college mate of James Johnson Pettigrew (1847), Matt W. Ransom (1847), and Kemp Plummer Battle (1849), and was a predecessor of Zebulon Baird Vance (1855). Shortly af ter his graduation in 1850, lie emi- j grated to Hempstead county, Ar- j ansas,where he has since made his home. * At the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his serv ices to the state and served gallantly through that fierce struggle as lieutenant-colonel of the 20th Arkansas infantry, C. S. AT "At the close of th* Civil war Col. Carrigan returned to Hemp stead county and resumed the pursuits of a planter. He has filled numerous positions of trust and responsibility. He was county judge for two terms. He has sei ved both in the house and senate of the general assembly of Arkan sas. He was a member of the Secession convention of Arkansas and is now probably the only sur viving member of any of the se cession conventions of the south ern states. He is a ruliug elder in the Presbyterian church of Hope, Ark. "Colonel Carrigan married Mary E. Moore in September of 1855, and of this union were born five children: W. A. Carrigan, Mineral Springs, Tex ; A. 11. Car rigan, Jr., Wichita Falls, Texas; Mary B. Carrigan, Dolph Carrigan and P. B. Carrigan, all of Hope, Ark. A. H. Carrigan, 111, grand son and second namesake, of Wichita Falls, Texa«, was first lieutenant of Company L, 142 nd infantry, U. S. A., and was kil led in action in France in October of 1918. He was awarded posthu mously the Distinguished Service cross and the Croix de Guerre with palm. "Ten thousand alumni hail Col onel Carrigan as chief of alma mater's clan jaud wish for him many more years of health and strength." The foregoing sketch will be read with special interest by many Alamance people for several rea sons. The subject is h native i,f Ala mance and a kinsman of many in this county. His mother, we be lieve, was a sister of Edwin- M, Holt, the pioneer cotton manu facturer of this county, and his father was a business partner of Mr, Holt at one time before the Civil War. Judge Carrigan visited his Ala mance kin over thirty years ago and the writer had the pleasure of meeting him. At that time he was in the prime of life; w.wt dis tinguished in appearance, good looking and dignified. Some authorities predict that no radium will be left in the world 25 years from uow. The average oysier. produces about 18,000,000 -a very large oyster sometimes producing 60,000,000. SHORTAGE IN GRAIN GROPS Nation's Principal Grain Crops Show Decline in Past Month—Large De cline in Yield and Value in N. C. Raleigh, N. C„ Oct. Government crop report released October Bth shows a general re duction in the Nation's grain crops since September Ist, several of the principal producing states showing a substantial decline. CORN —The condition of corn, i which on September Ist was 85.1 per cent, is 84.8 at preseut aud forecasts a 3,103,063,000 bushel production for the country as compared with last year's crop of 3,232,307,000 bushels. This indi cation is 22,313,000 bushels less th»n the estimate a month ago. The averag» condition for past 10 years is 75.7 per cent, and the average annual production since 1915 is 2,797,025,000 bushels. North Carolina's ciop showed a condition Ocober Ist of 75 per cent, which is an improvement of 3 per cent over the September esi iina to and forecasts a 51,956,- iOOU bushel production for the [State. This is an improvement since last month of over 4,000,000 bushels. Last ye'ir, North Caro lina produced 12,000,000 bushels more th:m this estimate, and the average production for the past five years is 50,'840,000 bushels. Corn sells for about 98 cents par bushel in this state and at that price, this year's crop wouW be worth $50,916,880. This price shows a decline of nearly 50 per cent since last October wheu corn was seiliqg for 81.94 per bushel. OATS —The average yield per acre of oats for North Carolina •vas rt ported at, 22 bushels. ' Re ports from threshermen would in dicate that between 18 and 20 bushels would be a more exact estimate, as this is the average from their threshings. The quality of t tie grain harvested was eraily good in this state. It was reported at 74 6 per cent. The nation's oat crop was esti mated at 1,078,519,000 bushels, at an average yield of 24 bushels per acrtt The average quality of the crop is 74.7 per cent and the ex ceptionally low price being paid, for it .was 31 cents on October Ist. WHEAT. —Of the state's wheat Crop, 32 per cent had been mark eted by October Ist. The pre liminary report for the crop icated a production of 4,281,00u bushels at an average yield per acre of 6.5 bushels. This leaves 2,913,120 bushels yet to be mark eted of this state's crop. The present priceof wheHt, $1.31, puts the value of the crop at $5,612,- 040. Farmers are preparing land for fall and winter crops, though most farm work has been greatly retarded 'and the majority of farmers in the wheat section of the state are behind, especially iu the preparation for winter wheat. The United States wheat crop, forecasted at 740,655,00U bushels, is worth $782,131,880 at the price being paid Tjctobcr Ist. The spring wheat for ttie u ition has a total acreage of 18,023.000 and with an average yield of 10.9 bushels per acre, the crop-is fore casted at 196,776,000 bushels.' This forecast is.a reduction of 13,- 000,1)00 bushels since the Septem ber Ist report.

A Gem from the Congressional Record Senator Watson (Rep., Ind.) — We probably shall be compelled to do all those things without the aid and assistance from the Sena tor from Mississippi, because he Intends to oppose the tax bill no matter what we put in it. Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.) —I do not know. Senator Watson—He intends to oppose the Railroad bill, Senator Harrison —The Senator cannot speak for me in that way. Senator Watson—l say no mat ter what we would put in it. Senator Harrison—l think the Senator from Mississippi would oppose any bill the Senator from Indiana would write. Senator Watson—The Senator will oppose the Railroad bill when it comes up. Senator Harrison —I certainly will . * Senator Watson—The Senator will oppose the Foreign Debt Funding bill when it comes. Senator Harrison —I certainly will Senator Watson —And the Sen ator will oppose the Tariff bill when it comes up, Senator Harrison —I certainly will. Senator Watson —And that is on the program. (As he said about each of the other bills) Senator Harrison —I was in hopes that you would preseut something in the interest of the people that I could help you out on. Proposed Tax Amendments, The proposed Democratic amend ments to the pending tax bill were presented bv Senator Sim mons ot North Carolina, in an en lightening speech dealing with the repeal or modification of existing taxes and the imposition of new taxes. The program as stated by him is as follows: To increase the corporate in come taxes, making the maximum range from per cent to 25 per cent, instead of a flat rate of 15 per cent, estimated to raise from *00,000,000 to $70,000,000 addi tional revenue. To retain the capital stock tax on corporations, which it is pro posed to repeal, estimated to yield about $75,000,000. To repeal the $2,000 exemption on corporate incomes. To confine individual exemp tions to $2,000 iu case of incomes below $-20,000 and above $5,000, estimated to yield 815,000,000. To restore the surtax to a max imum of 52 per ceut on incomes in excess of $500,000, estimated to yield about $55,000,000. Repeal of the transportation tax. Senator Simmons declared that the tax bill should not be made a party or a sectional question, but that it should be a bill fair in the distribution of the tax burden; that would raise sufficient reve nue and contribute to the relief of business aud industry.
