lowing It. ventured a numbir of
questions as to the practical applica

Senator Bankhead 'was Introduced
In a few words by President Alexan
der Webb, of the Raleigh Chamber
of Commerce.
"ThA best way to get Information,"
said Senator Bank head In opening his
address "is-tv-aak jiud answer quee
ttons." With thin much of an In
troduction lie waded lto n' ad
dress.0 The speaker touched at once upon
Th e "proposition advanced that -the
Federal government be looked to for
jilrl.iiL lhu iLuutinti. 'in Ihe Senate."
he said, "there are eighteen cotton
senator out, of ninety-six. in the
Ttouse 'fnere''are'nTne'tyfour or nlne-ty-tive
cotton representatives out of
four hundred and thirty or forty.
This Just means that the majority of
the Federal government In these
house are Just as Interested in cheep
cotton and cheap cotton goods as we
are ltLxheau wheat and cheap ilour."
He told of the numerous efforts that

tention to the recent meeting of the
governors of ihe States with tho Sen
ators and Representatives of the cot
ton grow Inn State. In Washington.
"And there were about us many
opinions." commented Ihe speaker,
"as there were senators and gover
nors In that body."
"Tha proper place to turn." hr
declared, "la to the Staten to aee If
ws cannot find and apply a remedy,
or devise a means by which cot inn
can be cared for. 1 believe that can

unaided and atone xittt Hake-rare f

He then stated his proposition. It
was essentially this:

amount of 120.000,000 In the shape of
wirran against the State for the
cotton In Ihe possession of the StHle.
These warrant! In their denomina
tions will supply the aame purpose us
currency and will be .common
media of exchange. When these bonds
Issued to rHn tnre year are gutheretl
Into one man's or one bank's hands
to the amount of $1,000. they im
mediately become Interest bearing
bonds at four percent.
This takes carp of the bond issue,
and Tor the holder of the bond. Now
for the Htate's salvation In holding
the cotton and in retlrtnu the binds.
