BRITTON. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Oct. 28 Po the farmers of North Carolina need the money that is being offered to them by the War Finance Corporation through banks and co operative associations! Po the banks themselves understand the opportunities ready for their ask ing for the aid of the farmers! Some Misanderatandiag. A. W. Melean, North Carolina mem ber of the War Finance Corporation, said today that there still seems to lie some inisir.lerst.inding of the fa cilities oflYi. m in tLc corporation, judg ing front some of the inquiries re ceived from some of the banks in North Carolina. 8o far only a few banks in the St:ite have applied to the corpora tion for Joans. The app'icationa re reived have been approved. Banks in some of the other Kouthrrn States, especially country banks, are making large numbers of applications while this is particularly the case aa to Western hanks. The fact that North Carolina banks are not taking the advantage (f the opportunity offered them to help the farmers is not un derstood here. unle it is that there is acme misunderstanding. McLean Eiplaina. Mr. Mrlyan is deeply interested in living North Carolina obtain fill.', ad vi:ntagc "I the assistance which it is po.s-.ible fur it to obtain from the War Finn nee Corporation. He says that ev ery !nnk in the Mute has Ken furnish ed with u copy of the circular of in "tructions and thnt statements have been made to the press from time to time, and that information has also been furnished to the officers of the North Carolina Bankers' Association, the, North Carolina Corporation Com- ir.iission and others, explaining for what purpose the banks of the State can obtain advances and also the methods if making application. Pome of the inquiries indicate that a few State bunks are under the impression that lie lonns being made bv the War Finance Corporation are made only to lonks which ore members of th- Fd ral Reserve System As a matter of fact, the money is available for evry bunk in the State, liotit State and national, and banks that are rot riein li.-rs of the Federal Reserve system nre given the very same considemt ion es member banks. The credit facili ties of the War Finance Corporation liaie nothing whatever to do with the Federal Reserve system or the Farm Loan banks. (iives Important Warning Mr. Md-ean gives a naming notice ti.nt should be heeded. He stated today that notwithstanding the fart that cotton and tohareo have been sellina at fair pri.'os recently, that if unusually large quantities of these i products are thrown on the market, the market will at least for the time beinj be ronsidershly depressed. He strongly advises against such dump jng of cottou and tobacco sad says that hankers and other business men should realize that on account of the dislocation of foreign trade and the unusual financial and economic condi tions, existing in the United States and other parts of the world, the mar keting of the bulk of onr agricultural products within a period of a few months after the harvest aa was done in normal times cannot be done with-, nnt undue depression in prices. Mast Market Slowly. Cnder the changed conditions orderly marketing at fair prices cannot be accomplished unless there is s deter mination on the part of bankers, far mers and others interested, to see that trarketing is done over a longer period, iv sii to ten months, instead of over k period of a few mouths in the fall, as was done in normal times. In order to brihg about such an order- ly process of marketing there must be aa extension of cred t for the agricul tural interests over a long period. It is this situation which the d.rectora of the War Finance Corporation have had ia mind in offer ng to extend to the banks in the agricultural sections of the country the cred.t facilities author ised by the recent amendments to the War Finance Corporation Act. Every .bank in the agr cultural states can Bow find a place to rediscount its obli gations if it desires ti extesd eredtt t) the farmers in connection with obli gations already ex iting, or new obhga tions which may, be ereated, ia order to provide for the orderly marketing of agricultural product over a longer period. The corporation ia not authoris ed by law to lend money to individuals for any purpose nor can it lend money for the purchase of land.

M. Mr. Sarah "Whit ley, 37, will spend th remainder of bar natural Ufa ia the State" Priaon for bar part in the murder of William Whit ley, prominent Waltonburg farmer, who wa shot to death while he slept at a tobaeeo barn near hia farm home in the night of August S, 1921. Writrht Route, elderly negro roueta oout and soothsayer, ia' scheduled to pay the eitreme penalty in the death chamber at the State Penitentiary at Raleigh, January 3. His was the hand that fired the fatal ahot for an empty promise of $500. Hayes' Trial Centimes Thomas Hayes, one , t m tenant oa the Whitley farm and the woman'a con fessed lover, will not be tried until the regular December term of Greene County Superior court. Hayes did not, like the others, seek a special term trial. Hayes, 1 ke the others, is alleged to have confessed to a full share in the eon piracy. The alleged conspirators, to bring about Whitley's death in order that Hayes and Mrs. Whitley might pursue an unlawful love unmolested, hatched a, murderous plot, a- ording to the theory of the State which developed one crime and was intended not to be satisfied unt 1 another had been com mitteil. Kouse in his confession said he was to have been paid 11,000 to kill Hayes wife. Defease Springs 8arpris The defense sprang a surprise when it asked for a fonference with the counsel for the rotate and prominent residents of the Walstonburg section. At this conference it was agreed that the State would accept a second degree mur der submission. Pre. Ira M. Handy and C. Banks MoNairy, Kinston eiperts, were informed that they would not be needed to testify to the defendant's mental condition. The defense had been expected to soaks Mrs, Whitley's suspected unsoundness of mind a strong point. First witness, who testified as to tfte confession of Mrs. Whitley, stated to have been heard in part or all by 150 persons, declared she did not impress them as being normal in all respects, line lurid account of the conspiracy was related by her at an early morning hour. I amoved By Sentence Mrs. Whitley received her sentence unmoved. She showed no sign of emo tion. Through the weeks that hate passed since her arrest she has main tained an attitude of stolid indiffer ence, eihibiting only an interest In whether she would have to go to the electric chair. Shortly after the submission Judge Frank Daniels passed the sentences and the hundreds who had gathered from all parts of (irccne and iVavne countiei . id am na me mat dispersed, it was from Wayne that both juries had come. Sentence Satisfactory Public sentiment seemed satisfied when the words w ere spoken which set tled Mrs. Whitley's fate and the hun dreds of spectators filed out of the lit tle court house at Snow Hill. Senti ment from the beginning had been al most entirely against the defendant in the neighborhood in which the crime was committed. It would hav been difficult to get a Greene jury for the fact that thousands had expressed opinions on the case, most of them un favorable to ths woman. Mrs. Whitley, well connected and a woman of average attainments, realized that her rase was not popular when she persuaded the jailor at Snow Hill H take her for a visit to her former home and the resultant wave of indignation caused the jailer to resign. Ceansel la Case The twelve men who sat in the jury box were J. W. Flowers, Gordon Parks. J. E. Sand erson, Ralph Gradv, Brvao Griffin, J. D. Padgett, Edwin J. Britt, U K. Combe, J. 1.

CONVENTION Annual Session Adjourns at Twin City With Selection of Meeting Place Winston Salem, Oct. 28. -The North Carolina division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, in annual session here since Tuesday, adjourned at 1 o'clock this afternoon without deciding on a place for the next meeting, as the con vention adopted a resolution to rescind the order of 1!20 which calls for enter tainment in hotels. It was decided to go back to the old method, that of entertaining the delegates in the homes of the members of the hostess chapter. For this reason, no invitations were presented, as the delegates had no in structions from their home chapters. However. Mrs. II. I.. Riggins suggested thst the convention make the Robert E. Lee Hotel, this cAy, its permanent headquarters, and that if this is done, she promised the convention the very best entertainment possible. The rea son for deciding to change the plan of entertainment, it was stated; is to allow the smallrr towns, which do not have hotel facilities for conventions, to enjoy the privileges of a convention. Presented With Gsvel Mrs. T. W. Wilson, of Oastonia, pres ident, was presented with a gavel made from a cedar tree in the historic Moravian grave yard. The gavel was a gift from the .lames B. Gordon Chap ter, which entertained the convention. An outstanding feature of the. morn ing session was the adoption of a reso lution requesting that the pres dent of the division be made a member of the North Carolina text-book commission. Within a few minutes after the mat ter of a memorial to Admiral Matthew Fontaine Maury was presented by Mrs. C. F. Harvey, a total of 700 was sub scribed from the convention floor and assurances were given that other sub scriptions will he made soon. Mrs. Harvey is directing a movement among the members of theiJorth Carolina division to raise paW of the money required in the erection of a monu ment of Admiral Maury In Richmoad, Va.

City Nw York. Oct. 28.-Marshal Foch captured New York today and then sped away to conquer the rest of the country. New York surrendered with out striking a blow. For a long, long time the eity had been waiting to pay off just a little of its debt of gratitude to the small man in horizon blua whose skill and daring at martial chess had reduced the proud armies of Germany, and this afternoon it seized its oppor tunity. Great Demonat ration Not since Dewav returned from Manila, not nine Armistice Dsy, did th eity's million turn out with such spontaneity and in such numbers. Had the hardy little Frenchman who led ten millttn aoldiers to victory, ridden up Broadway in a war chariot, dragging captives behind him like the emperors of Rome, he could not have received a greater welcomo than was accorded him as he rode up the historic thoroughfare in a twentieth century motor car, en velnped in a deluging shower of paper hurled from sky scraper windows. Triamphal Procession. From the Battery, where he was greet ed by Governor Miller, to City Hall where he was welcomed by Mayor lly Ian, he moved in a great triumphal procession after steaming up the har bor to the boom of guns, the ceaseless blast of whistles, the roar of airplone motors tfi shouts nnd cheers of count less thousands.

ADOPT 15 PER CENT CORPORATION TAX Two Proposals For Graduated Income Tax Fail By Margin of One Vote Washington, Oct. 28 After rejecting two proposals for a graduated income tai on corporations each by a margin of a' single vote the Senate adopted today, 36 to A, the finance committee amendment to the tax revision bill pro viding for a flat fifteen per cent tax. Proponents of a graduated levy, or of some other plan that would prevent the proposed increase of fifty per cent in the tax of thimsands of corporations making small profits, gave notice that they would renew their hght later. Ih. v expressed confidence tonight that they would win. Confident of Victory Senator Walsh, Pfmoerit,. Massacha setts, author of the two amendments voted down today, 33 to 32, said he had been assured by Senator Johnson, Republican, California, and Myers, Democrat. Montana, who were absent at the roll calls todav, that they would support his amendment when next pre sented. The first proposal of the Massachu setts Senator was for a tax of ten per rent on the first one hundred thousand dollars of income, fifti-en per cent on the next two hundred thousand snd twenty per ci-nt on all over I300.00U, with an added provision that corpora tions which did not pay an excess profits tax for the calendar year 1020 should pay only st the rate of ten per cent. After this had been rejected, Senator Walsh offered it again with a provision that in addition to those not paying an excess profits tsx in 11)20, coruratiins whose net incomes did not exceed eight per cent on the invested capital, should pay only at the ten per cent rate. Republican leaders sent word to frcsdeiil Harding during tho day that the tax bill would be passed by tomor row night, hot many Senators oa both the majority and minority side declared this hope could not be realised. Adoption of the Walsh amendment waa urged by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina; Junes, of New Mexico, and other Democrats, while Senators Ixidge and lnroot told the Senate they were not in favor of any plan which would increase the taxes of curporations having small profil as compared to their investments. 1 hey objected, how ever, to the Walsh plan, insisting that while it corrected some of the injustice that weuld result from the cmimttrr proKsal it would work an injustice on corporstions ba nig" large in.'omes, but with net profits of less than eight per cent on the invested capisal.

Railroad head to night declared th nation's earrien would go right ahead with their plana to seek new wsg eats through Railroad Labor Board hearing deapit th an nouncement from the Unions' that their action in calling off the strike eebed uled for October 30 had been influenced by the board's announcement that pay reduction petitions for any class wonld not be considered nntil working eon ditions for that ralss hsd been settled. Carry Plan Forward "Th calling off of the strike will hare no effect on the plans announcgd by ths csrriers October 14 to seek im mediate wage reductions so that rate could be reduced," aaid Samuel Feltoa. prseidont of the Chicago Great West ern and chairman or the Association of Western Railroad Executives. ''I don't know how long, under th hoard's ruling, hut those petitions un doubtedly will be presented within a very short time. It will be up to the board then to divide wtien a4 ion should be taken. "I want it made plain, however, that we will seek these reductions in ac convince with th law, posting notices of cuts, then discussing tliera with the employes, and if no agreement is reached appealing to the board to set tie the dispute. Samael Dann Talk Mr. !lton's statement wers echoed by Samuel Dunn, Kditor of Railway Age, who in an address at a luncheon of the local railroad executives de clared that "the unions' action settles only one thing that there will be no strike." ''It dues not settle ths question of further wage reductions or of rate re ductions," he continued. "The roads are going right ahead with the plans to get further pay cats and thus reduce rates. But, if the Interstate Commerce Commission re duces rates and th labor hoard refnue to reduce wagos, the roads will be In a d sastrous condition."
