Further credit for the purpose of harvesting and marketing the com ing cotton crop will be expended in whatever amount may legitimately be required, it was announced Tuesday .night by the Federal Reserve Board and the governors of the reserve banks of Richmond, Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas City and Dallas, states a Washington dispatch which continues: The announcement was made after a meeting of the governors of the Reserve banks in the cotton growing sections to formulate a uniform policy on cotton loans for the orderly mar keting of the new crop. It was de cided that credit would be extended either directly to member banks by the reserve banks or indirectly to non-members banks through the agency of a member bank. Statement on Loans. The statement issued by the con ferees said: "At the present time the five re serve banks in question are lending to their members $457,000,000, or more than 26 per cent of the loans of the entire system, the Richmond bank borrowing from other reserve banks $20,000,000, and the Dallas, bank bor rowing $16,000,000. for (hat purpose. The total loans of these f've r-wervei banks to their memWr banks exceeds their reserve deposits by 8192,000,000, whereas the leserve. deposits of the other seven reserve banks exceed their loin? to their lnembau by $118,000, 000 "The Federal Reserve Hoard and the governors of the Federil Reserve banks announce that'the Federal Re serve banks, in addition to credits already extended, ar? abl- and stand ready to extend further credit for the purpose of harvesting and mark eting the coming crop, m whatever amount may legitimately be required, cither directly to their member banks or, under a ruling now issued by the Federal Reserve Board, indirectly to non-member banks acting through the agency and with the endorsement of a membf," bank. These loans will j be made by the Federal Reserve banks upon notes, drafts and bills of ex change i.-sued or drawn in accordance with the terms of the Federal Re serve Act and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, i"or the har-j vesting or orderly marketing of ihej coming cotton crop. "ti i. ii m uiuci, However, inai mese re discount facilities of the Federal Re serve banks may be mad.r fully ef fective, it wiil be necessary that mem ber banks in the cotton states place their loaning facilities freely at the disposal of cotton producers end deal- ers in their respective localities with the knowledge and assurance that the Federal Reserve Board and the! Fe-'eral Reserve banks recognize the urgency of rendering all proper assistance to these important interests during such abnormal times. "Mr. Meyer, managing director of the War Finance Corporation, who attended the conference, reviewed the activities of the War Finance Cor poration in making loans for financ ing cotton for immediate and future export. Governor Strong, of the Fed eral Reserve bank of New York, and representatives of certain New York member banks were also invited to the conference to discuss the necessity or advisability of having various com mercial banks through the country establish a fund for the purpose of making loans upon cotton. In view of the conclusions reached by the conference as to the ability of the Federal Reserve banks effectively to take care of all of the legitimate re quirements of the cotton interests, it was felt that the establishment of such a fund at this time is neither necessary nor advisable. Governor Strong stated, however, that he had received assurances from, a number of Important banking, institutions in New York city, that if the facilities now offered by the Federal Reserve banks and the War Finance Corpora tion should prove to be inadequate, they will cooperate m the establish ment of a cotton loan fund in what ever amount the situation might de mand." , The town of Ay den voted a bond is sue of fZZOjUUU Monday lor street paving. DEAD WOMAN'S MOTHER 1 ' DEFENDS HER SLAYER i , " - - Flowers from Grave Sent to Husband, Who is Confined in Jail at Mor ganton. A Morgan ton dispatch states that Mrs.' Davis, mother of Mrs. Sidney Kincaid, who was stabbed to death by her husband, a . county commis sioner of Burke county, at their himA innt isitiajI In Thmpj4.v9. Robesonian, joined with her daughter's' slayer in the plea that he be allowed j to attend the funeral, but that he was. so broken that off icers ' thought it' bes for him not -to go. The same dis patch states that Mrs. Davis, who was the only witness to any of th cir-' cumstances attending the killing of her daughter, is one of Kincaid's strongest defenders and expresses no resentment against him. She sent Kincaid flowers from his wife's grave. In Thursday's Robesonian;. it was stated that Kincaid had formerly been a drunkard but reformed and won the confidence and respect of his peo ple to such an extent that he had been elected a county commissioner. The dispatch from which that was taken gives the following details of the hor rible affair: Recently he had gone to drinking again, this grieving and worrying his wife, who was devoted to him, and thought only of how she might pre serve his and the family's honor. She worked with him in the store they conducted at Chesterfield, which is not more than fifty yeards from their beautiful country home. They had no children but shared the home with Mrs. Kincaid's mother, Mrs. Betty Davis, and an invalid brother of Mr. Kincaid. The neighbors and Mrs. Davis tell that supper was prepared as usual last night and Mrs. Kincaid went repeatedly to the store to get Mr. Kincaid to come to the evening meal. She knew he was drinking, it is said, and probably wanted to get him home on that account She and Mrs.Davis sat on the porch at the front of the house waiting for him. A salesman, who wanted to demonstrate a light ing arrangement for the house, wait ed for awhile but finally left Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Kincaid came from the store, Mrs. Davis says that he went around the house, and as he did so, her daughter went through the hall to meet him and give him his supper, saying as she went, "Oh, will I have to put up with drunkenness in the home again." Mrs. Davis heard them talking on the back porch and though she could not dis tinguish what was said the tones of their voices indicated that Mrs. Kin caid was remonstrating with her hus band for drinking again. She was at tracted by what she describes a gurgling sort of noise and hurried to the porch to see what was happening. As she reached the hall door she says that Mr Kincaid had his hands around Mrs. Kincaid's neck as- if choking her,, and she rushed to them, asking, "Sidney, why are you choking Lilly." As she pulled his hand away tne warm blood gushed on her hand and Mrs. Kincaid fell; at this the mother cried, "You have killed Lilly, bianey." Summoning just strength enough to say "No, he hasn't," Mrs. Kincaid gasped her last. Evidently realizing what had hap pened and sobered by the realization, the unhappy man threw hjmself down beside his wife, covered her hands and face with kisses, his moans and s-reams arousing the whole com munity. Neighbors were on the scene almost immediately and they tell that he acted like a wild man. They held him to keep him from carrying out his threats of self-destruction. He himself suggested that the sheriff be sent for, and when officers arrived went with them willingly. Today he has begged piteously for the privilege of seeing his wife's face just once more before she is buried. This morning the knife with which Mrs. Kincaid was stabbed was found in the yard near the back porch. The doctor's examination showed that the jugular vein had been cut, and though the wound on the neck on the left side was net long, it wag deep. It is not thought that Mr. Kincaid was choking his wife after he cut her with the knife, which, in his drunken anger, he had seized from the porch shelf where it was kept, but that as he drew the knife out he came in a way to his senses and was attempting to stop the flow of blood. His clothing was literally soaked in his wife's blood, it is said.

The farmers oil over Jhe State are studying how to profitably diversify their crops and secure co-operative marketing. In some sections much progress is being made. The good prices for tobacco and cotton enticed man farmer awr.y fytr-y. , tion ana aemoraiizea marketing re duced strawberry acreage some years ago'. The Lumberton Robesonian reports that farmers living in the Dublin sec tion of Bladen county are planning to grow large crops of strawberries. Far mers had a meeting to discuss the ad vantages and how to prepare the land. Mr. G. A. Cardwell, industrial agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, was pre sent. The Robesonian says: Mr. Cardwell'a address dealt large ly with the marketing of strawberries. He predicted that the strawberry wag fast coming back. Thex acreage was largely increased last year in the strawberry growing sections of east ern North Carolina and indications point to a much larger, acreage for next year, the speaker declared. Mr. Cardwell thinks the sweet potato crop a profitable one, provided the farmers could keep them. He told.cf pians for keeping them. He does not. favor a eeneral increase in the notalo aer-. age, but the establishing of potato curing houses to save the potatoes al ready being grown. Mr. CardweJi also urged the importance of crop diversi fication. This was the second meeting re cently held at Dublin in the interest of strawberry-growing, and judging from the sentiment of the farmers of that section, it is evident that a num ber of acres will be planted in berries next fall. A few years ago the strawberry crop brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to North Carolina. It is well to go back to this industry Who was it said that "doubtless God Almighty might have made something better than a strawberry, but doubtless He never did?" News and Observer.
