OF ALTRUISM !N BUS
GRBATEST NBED OF DAY

Coanty Chamber of Commerce.
Laurinburg, Sept. l^-"AngusW
ton McLean, former chairman of the
Wat Finance corporate .
manufacturer, farmer and ^
North Carolina, in an address before
200 men and women of the Scotians
county Chamber of Commerce m
Laurintmrg last night, declared that
s. spirit of altruism in business was
the greatest need of the day. I was
glad when I heard that you folks had
organised the Scotland county Cham
^ber%f Commerce," he said, "you have
*the correct idea. The town people and
the country people ought to get to
gether and work together. We are
S one. When I came to l^urmburg
to school, a twelve-year-old bow from
the country, the town boys made fun
of me. 1 know now that they did not
mean it, but it was a very keen hu
miliation for me then, and that s the
way many people feel now. It is up to
you men and women of the towns to
bring the people of the country into
your organisations and show them
that you are their friends."
Mr. McLean was introduced by ex
Senator Lauch Blue. Senator Blue
aaid the folks are talking McLean so
much for Governor that he moved we
call him Governor now, so that when
he goes into office he will be used to
it "But we folks who live out in the
sticks", said Senator Blue, "are pray
ing and trusting that when he be
comes engineer of the great Ship of
State, he will let the machinery slow
down long enough to cool off and
oil the bearings and give us a chance
to get our breath before he throws
her into high gear/
Mr. McLean said he would not diB
cuss politics. "It is not time for that
yet" he said. "I would like to talk to
you about whot we might call a spir
it of altruism in business. Most of
the industries of this county have in
a measure recovered from the depres
sion of 1920 but agriculture is one
industry that has not recovered from
the reverses of that period .In Eas
tern North Carolina there is tempo
rary prosperity but the great agri
cultural sections of the Nation are
not prospering. When God put the
great wheat fields in the West and
the cotton fields in the South and the
coal mines in the North, he meant
that there should be business inter
course between the people. No man
can iive to himself, and no section and
no nation can live to itseif. The cause
of our present business troubles, is
the fact that we are violating this
great prinicpie of good will in worid
intercourse.
"I was as strong for the League of
Nations as anybody, but I beiieve
economic conditions in Europe and
the trouble between France and Ger
many can be adjusted separately and
apart from their political aspects.
TTiere ought to be appointed, by
some method, a commission of eco
nomic experts to determine what
Germany can pay France and what
France ought to have. That could be
done with our assistance and without
eur intervention in European poli
tics. Unless It is done the time may
come when the cotton farmer of the
South wiii be clamoring for the can
cellation of the debts that France and

EVERY BALE OF COTTON
MUST BE NUMBERED.
L*w Requires Every PabMc Gin to
Number Each Bole Consecutively.
Raleigh, Sept 18.—The last session
of the Legislature enacted a law
which became operative August 15
that requires every public gin to num
ber consecutively every bale of cot
ton ginned and to so number it that
the number cannot be removed or dis
figured by ordinary handling. Many
ginners seem to have some misunder
standing concerning the law, which is
given here in full:
"Section 1. That any person, firm
or corporation operating any public
cotton gin, that is, any cotton gin oth
er than one ginning solely for the in
dividual owner, owners, or operators
thereof, shall hereafter be required
to distinctly and clearly number,
serially, each and every bale of cotton
ginned, in one of the following ways -
(1) Mark in color upon the bagging
of the bale, in figures; (2) attach a
metal strip carrying serial number
to one of the ties of the bale and
ahead of the tie loch, and so secure
it that ordinary handling will not re
move or disfigure the number; (3)
impress the serial number upon one
of the bands or ties around the bale.
"Section 2 That any person, firm
or corporation failing or refusing to
comply with the preceding section
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for
each and alary Offense, and upon
conviction shall be fined not exceed
ing fifty dollars, or imprisined not
more than thirty days.

COOPER AND ROURK INDICTED
INNEW HANOVER COUNTY
Charged With Violating fltate Bank

(Speclai to The Charlotte Observer)
WUmington, Sept. 14^—Warrants
for yhomaa E. Cooper and J. C.
Rodrk, president and cMhlpr oi the
defunct liberty bank, charging both
with violations of the state tanking
law, were given the sheriff of New
Hanover county at 1140 today They
were isaued as a resuit of a true Mil
returned by the New Ha nover county
grand jury, which was impanelled
Monday.
Cooper and Roark, As soon as in
formation reached them thdt they
were under indictment, caiied at the
office of the sheriff shortly after
noon to surrender themselves and
furnished bond in $5,000 each. Dr. R.
D. Momrison famished bond for Coop
er, while T. F. Bagiey provided the
bond* for the former bank cashier.
M*r Cooper, When interviewed on
the matter, was siient on the subject
of -his indictment, but declared that
he wouid have "some startling dis
closures to make In a short time."
The report of the grand jury re
ferring to the Cooper and Rourk in
dictments, said that it was startling
ly apparent that the state corpora
tion commission had "been extreme
ly !ak* in the performance of the du
ties imposed upon them under the
banking laws of the 1921 session of
the general assembly of North Caro
lina."
The document further set forth
that the commission members "have
made themseives iiabie to severe
criticism, at least for condoning the
irregular acts of the officers of the
above-mentioned bank, and by per
mitting conditions to continue which
they had power to correct. The va
rious bank examiners made written
reports to the corporation commis
sion of the unsafe conditions of the
bank, and of the irregularities prac
ticed by the officers, and positive ac
ti<m at an earlier date might have re
sulted^ in preventing the loss of large
sums, of money by the depositors."
At the finish of the report, Judge
Grady remarked that he would see
that a certified copy of the document
was made, and that it would be sent
to the state corporation commission
so that "these highly interesting
gept!emen*'in Raleigh could see what
the grand jury of New Hanover coun
ty thinks about their efficiency.
Judge Grady was unsparing in his
personal criticism of the acts of the
corporation commission, and ttold
newspaper correspondents that he
could prove his allegations concern
ing the lax methods employed by the
commission in the Cooper bank mat
ter.
The indictment contained five
charges, all pertaining to lleged ir
regularities, specifying approval of
worthless loans, mismanagement of
aifairs, and violation of state bank
ing laws.
