THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921. 13 Minimum Amount Of Cotton Already Pledged Association Tjv Jl'LE B. WARREN, Staff Correjspondeat of The Kevrs. directors. '" .-BalPiph. Sept. 2. The cotton farmers of North Carolina, interested in the co operative marketing of cotton, have completed their drive for signed mem bers of the Marketing Association four months alidad of time, according to an nounccments made today by a commit tee for the campaign workers. Instead Of signing up 00,000 bales by the first of the new year, tne workers have se cured 240.000 by the first of September. In th ? tobacco campaign equally gratify Jag progress has been made. While it was decided to sign up a greater per centre of the tobacco crop for the first year than the cotton crop there is ev- vrtr i n,l ii "J t I'll! fhat tWo n(v! 1 41, . .luivv.v.. t,uai iui me to bacco marketing association will be reachfd weeks cefore the time set for its completion. The announcement came as a result conferences of twenty or more leaders in the work from North Carolina and Virginia, who have been here during the present week. They call th-3 an nouncement the "Victory Statement.'' In order to still further the work of the campaigns for both tobacco and cotton this conference t'ecided to make the month from Soy. t ember 15 to October .15 "Sign-up Month" and are urging to bacco and cotton farmers all over the State and Virginia to push the cam paign during that period. It is realiz ed that the associations are purely farmers organizations, for the farmers and organized by the farmers from peo ple who are farmers, and that if the best results are to be obtained the farmers- themselves will have to get busy in aiding the organizers for the different counties. State organization committee for cotton will meet in Raleigh and district the Btate," says the statement. Each coun ty or group of counties that has signed Up approximately ten per cent of the tot.il baleage will be made a separate district, and as such will be entitled to select a director of its own choosing, for there will be ten elected directors. It is important therefore that as many farmers come into the organization dur ing that month as possible in order that they may have a hand in selecting the Susrerestinn is maio ,o tv. members begin now consideration of the oest man for a place on the board of directors for their district. SELL. THIS YEARS CROP A tl -rxnuLiujr reason lor signing up quick ly in the case of cotton, the statement continues, is that it is hoped that as soon as the organization is perfected, an arrangement will be attempted to provide financial advances for those who wish to hold cotton. Furthermore, the elected directors may, if they wish, arrange for sellinsr cotton for members who wish to sell this year's crop through the Marketing Associa tion. Emphasis is placed, however, on the fact that no members is forced to sell his cotton during 1921 through the marketing association, but if cotton owners wish to do so arrangement will be made to handle it. WORK BOOSTS PRICES "A remarkable and encouraging fact is that although not yet one fourth com pleted, the co-operativ3 marketing as sociations, with their program of grad ual marketing, instead of wholesale dumping, are helping crop prices. This is not merely our assertion," the state ment says, "but the declaration of disin terested sources. 'You may not re alize it, said a noted warehouseman a few days ago, 'bu t already tobacco prices are being bettered because of the co-operative marketing movement, and the Associated Press dispatches Monday in describing the advance of nearly three cents a pound in cotton prices last week declared that one of the ccn- , cpituuus causes was me WOrK o ro- "Immediately after October 15 the onerative marketing associations in sev- &Ltti.es n me oeii. in nnancing co-operative marketing associations in the south the most gratifying progress has been made and there is no longer reason for critics to assert that this is an insurmountable obstacle." In views of these conditions the lead ers in the movement feel that they have overcome many of the most important tasks that confronted them when they started out to organize the state. In Virginia practically 75 per cent of the tobacco farmers have already signed up to sell their tobacco through the mar keting associations. In North Carolina the leaders expect to have fifty per cent signed up before the end of the year, or several weeks before the time limit set.

With an authorized capital' stock cf $150,009, for building, maintaining and Mr. Ctoltie says that operating ilk. butter and ice cream these wells will produce a sufficient amount of water for fifty thousand peo ple and that it is available for the city if a pipe line can be tied in to the city mains- "Water from these wells j was pumped as far as Cary by the com- j pany which conducted the hard surfaced road from Raleigh to Cary. The facti that the pumps over the wells are lo cated on a hill 250 feet above the city of Raleigh causes Mr. Collie to be lieve that it would be an easy matter ( to get this water into the city mains. The superintendent of the water works and Commissioner of Public j Works both declare that Mr. Collie's plan is impractical. Superintendent Bain thinks it would be practically impossible to tie up with the Camp Polk Wells, plants in the city, the Mecklenburg Dairy and Ice Cream Company has ap plied for a charter. About $30,000 of the stock has al ready been subscribed by milk produc ers of the county and business men of Charlotte, in about equal numbers and amounts. At least 2,000 of the 2,500 gallons of milk produced in Mecklenburg county is expected to be handled by this new company. This will permit the expan sion of milk producing activities in the county which have already assumed large proportions along with the de velopment of the Mecklenburg Breed ers' Association. H. Ti.

POSTPONE OPENINGS With the water situation in Raleigh growing gradually worse the officials of the city today called heads of the colleges in for a conference and asked that they postpone the opening of col leges scheduled for next week. Presi dent Charles W- Brewer of Meredith college, largest institution for women in the city, whose opening was scheduled for next week, announced following the conference that he was postponing the opening of Meredith to September 14. Officials of State College, which expect ed to open next week with a thousand students, also took similar action. Officials of the State College stated that the institution used about two and a half million gallons of water every month, or about the same amount in a month that the whole city uses in a day. There are several wells on the college campus and these are now being used to suppliment the small amount of city water that can be secured at the college. But these wells do not pro- mind. . FARMERS ADJOURN Electing officers for the coining 3 ear and passing resolutions endorsing co operative marketing associations for cot ton and tobacco as well as other crops, the farmers convention and the tobacco as well as other crops, the farmers con vention and the farm woman's con vention adjorned their annual session here yesterday at noon. Both conven tions went on record as being thorough ly in favor of the co-operative market ing plan as it has been worked out in this and other southern states. They believe that it is the only way out for the Southern farmer, and pledged the support and influence of the con vention to leaders of these movements. The farmers elected U. B- Blalock of Wad-jsboro, president and W. W. Shay of Raleigh secretary treasurer of the coming year. These officials appoint the other officers of the convention. The farm women elected Mrs. R. K. Davenport of Whitsett, president of their association, Mrs. Lillie Yates of Cardinus vice president and Mrs. Jane McKimmon of Raleigh secretary- HEAR INJUNCTION SATURDAY Judge W. M. Bond announces that he will hear argument and testimony at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon on the injunction proceedings instituted by the open shops of Raleigh against the mem bers of the allied printing trades.

Leading opinions heartily indorse the raising of live stock as a diversion in farming in view of the possible entry into this county by the boll w?ivil, a a result of which farmers may not be able to make a living producing cot ton. The new corporation will assist in the remedy for such a situation. Some of the people behind the move ment are Charles E. Miller, county farm agent, Robert. E. McDow?'l, Wa Pharr, Charles Stowe, and J E. Mc-Ilwaine. STATESVILLE MAN IS BOARD OFFICIAL Washington, Sept. 2 Criminal prose cution of several war contract fraud cases by the Government may be bar red by the statute of limitations, it was said today at the Department of Justice. The Federal criminal statute, officials explained, runs for three years after the commission of an overt act in the case of a conspiracy to defraud the Government and many of the war contracts were completed before .he armistice on November 11, 1918. As a part of the department's inves tigation of all Government war eon tracts for evidence of unfair dealinar?. officials said, each case is being car.?- j fully examined in the light of the statute of limitations. If a contract was completed more than three years ago they added, but- the conspiracy under it did not develop until a later date, there would be no bar to prosecution, if the evidence was found to warrant it. To remedy the situation generally, officials said, Congress has been asked to extend the limit of the Federal statute to six years. Colonel Guy D. Goft-assistant to the Attorney Gem eral, is in charge of all such prosecu tions. The Federal statute, however, it was said, applies only a criminal cases .ml does not affect civil suits for recovery by the Government. These cases, it was explained, are ' governed by thj different State statutes, which general ly put the limitation at about six years. J. G. Shelton, secretary and treas urer of the Statesville Furniture Com pany, has been elected to the board of directors of the North Carolina Manu facturers' Association, the headquar ters of which are for the present in Charlotte. Mr. Shelton is one of the leading cit izens of the State and a widely known manufacturer of the South.

Sent. 2.- Pearling, formerly one of the principal industries of the South Seas, has fallen upon dead days because of the unsettled conditions throughout the world, James Clark, of Brisbane, who is known as the "Australian Pearl King," told a Royal Commission investigating th3 pearlin industry here recently. All pearling boats at Thursday Island are laid up and at Broome, Western Australia, only about 100 boats instead of 400 are working, Clark said. A con activities is the failure of Germany and Russia to purchase a great amount of the pearl-shell, as they did prior to t..e war, he said. "At present there is about 3,000 pounds worth of shell in the London market," he said. "This cost between 20Q and 250 pounds a ton to produce and it probably could be purchased for about half that price. Another handicap is the use by the Japanese of trochus shell in manufacturing buttons. Tro chus can be produced more cheaply than pearl. Another detriment is the fact that Americans are getting similar results from shells produced by fresh water mussels in the Mississipi and other rivers. He suggested that the Australia!, gov ernment should take control and stab ilize the pearling industry, pointing out that four-fifths of the world's supply of premier shell comes from the Com monwealth. He expressed the opi?ii:n that the government would be &ble to market the shell much mors ad ..' ously than private interests. Clark showed the Royal Commission a pearl which he said he believed to be the most valuable of its kind in the world. It was as large aa a pigeon's egg and was valued, he said, at 11,000 pounds. He said it was worthy "of a place in a monarch's crown" and recom mended that it be added to the crown jewels of the British Empire. RUNNYMEDE SAVED FROM AUCTIONEER pecial rices For "B oys Week" Come NEWARK Neolin-Soled and Goodyear Wingfoot Rubber heeled shoes for Boys are a tremendous step forward in shoemaking for young sters. To begin with, Neolin Soies are positively guaranteed to outwear any leather-soled sTioes made. Secondly, they are specially designed to give the utmost comfort and room for the growing foot. Thirdly, they are unquestionably the greatest values at their prices in America.

The hammer shall not fall tonight, or words to that ef fect, on historic Runnymede. This old marsh, where was signed the Magna Carta, has been taken from the auc tioneer's list, after a storm of indigna tion had risen to prevent the site from being sold. This venerable place, that witnessed the origin of constitutions as used in all English-speaking countries, has heretofore been owned by the govern ment as "Crown property." It was put un for sale by auction last year, along with many other bits of land, but be fore it was sold, persons alive to its historical interest began protesting. A parson threatened to throw into the lake any auctioneer who would be sc audacious as to try to sell it. Finally, after an intense newspaper campaign, members of parliament be gan asking the ministers questions as to the sale. It has now been an nounced that Runnymede will remain government property. It was on June 12, 1215, that King John camped with his army on the site, and with the, advice of his barons, drew up the charter and signed it. With the extension of touring, espe cially by Americans, Runnymede has become more and more important, and the number of its visitors from all pars of the world grovs annually.
