This advance will ap* ply only on cotton delivered, oa or be ifbre Dscfhor 1st. Cotton delivered after December 1st will have to wait until later for a second advance. The board of directors is giving careful attention to the problem of ?selling our cotton in an orderly man ner. and will have expert gu:dance in this important undertaking. Our di rectors realize that the cotton deliv ered to our association is placed in their hands for sale as a 'sacred trust, and are not unmindful of the big res iponsibility that has been placed upon them. The directors, all of whom are mem bers of our association and all of whom were elected by members of our association, expect to sell cotloiT when ever the market seems auspicious; and at the proper time they will make report to our members. ?

The test is the second which the asso ciations has met in .N'orth Carolina courts and two former cases, arising in Nash and Edgecombe counties which were decided in favor of the associa tion by Judge Frank A. Daniels have i already been appealed to the Supreme | Court. Yesterday's decision on removal, un less Judge Lyon be reversed by Judge E. H. Cranmer who succeeds him in this district on January 1, or some other judge subsequently assigned to the district, means that unless they settle out of court each of the 125 members of the association from about 50 counties in the State who are de. fendants in damage suits will have to ' have issues of fact raised by them ! tried before a Wake County jury. In addition to the purely legal question ol the constitutionality of tue co-op erative marketing act in this State, virtually all defendants who have filed answers in the suits have raised ques tions of breach of contract by the as sociation itself, the association s man. agement of its affairs and fraud in tho procurement of signatures to con tracts. Fight For Removal Strenuous efforts to have trials trans ferred to counties of defendants for the convenience of witne'8Beo wero made Monday by Albion Dunn and F. C. Harding, both of Greenville, and a motion to remove as a matter cf right on the ground that the action sought the recovery of personal propcfty was argued at the same time by A. L. .Brooks, of Greensboro, W. D. Mer jrltt and L. M. Carleton, both of Rox bcro, while numerous other ;ittorney? expressed their intention to make ?im. liar motions if "tho cat should jump that way." However, Judge Lyon rul ed with the association In Its conten-. tions that trial of all the cases would eliminate needless duplication and. un necessary traveling and time spent in court on the part of the association's officers and that the main relief sought Is. not the recovery of property but the fulfillment of contract obligations. SOVIET RUSSIA AND K EM A LINTS A STRONU PAIR Working Hand in Hand at La?Mii?i Peac? Meeting Brltlnh and KreneH Show Disposition to Rej?et 1M. mandn by Russians I^aiisanne, Nov. 28. ? Ruasia ^und Turkey, working together, ar?3 expect ed to make a strong pair at Lausanne and other delegates to the near east conference are wondering what affect the combination will have. British and French circles show a disposition to reject the demands for warded by the Russian delegation in jsisting that Russia be heard not only I in the Dardanelles diacunmon but on | all questions. It is pohite4 oat that Russia has signed a peace treaty with Turkey and that therefore there is no reasonable basis for her demand that she participate in the general deliber ations on a settlement between Greece and Turkey on one hand, and Turkey and the allies on the othtr. Nevertheless whatever mar bft Iho decision of the conference it M fcppar. enfc there will be no disposition to shut Rusaia. It Is recognized that ao many problem? are part and parcel t*-ft aet tlement of the straits control tlqp that Russian participation In ttkis angle will Inevitably mean the MHWM of the MooqOw delegate* with other Important questions. ? ^ ^ Since there are no cuaa word* la the Japanese lanfuafe, bow
