June 7-—Although sup porters of farm relief legislation car ried the fight to the very closing moments oto Congress the session ad journed without enacting any law for diret aid to farmers. Realizing during the last few * days that hojMHs of obtaining permanent legislation were impossible. the farm bloc centered on the Rursum bi 1 pro viding for an export, bounty of 35 cents I a bushel on wheat and wheat products as an emergency measure.

New York. June 9.—Foreclosure of the | trust mortgage of the Virginia-Carolina j Chemical Company, covering the $24,500,- I 000 seven per cent, bond issue, was or dered today by Federal Judge Runyon, of New Jersey, after default of the .Juno! interest payment. The court ordered the receivership ex- J tended over assets covered by the first mortgage bonds, and directed consolida tion of the foreclosure action with the receivership suit brought by creditors.

June 8. —It is the female that is deadliest of the boll eewivl species- This fact was stated at the headquarters of the Eastern Carolina chamber of commerce here today. That i organization, with the aid of the I various other agencies, has launched an aggressive campaign against the pest. •• to an export- sent here from I South Carolina by the American asso ciation to assist in the drive, the weevils do not cosume enough cotton squares and boll for food to seriously interfere , with the crop. "The fact is that the female weevil is a most discriminating ! individual. When she sets up house keeping and starts to rear a family she 1 chooses a cotton square for her home. She is a sort of insect carpenter, and when she gets through “renovating' a square so that is may be used for a nest, the square is good for nothing else. This lady bug has no birth control notions. Her children and grandchildren of several degrees may run into billions in a season. The average person down t know what the cotton grower is up against.” Farmers’ Picnic at Statesville.

PAUL Thirty-one States Will Send Delegates to the Convention. St- 1 aul. Minn.. June !).—Thirty-one states have indicated an intention to send delegates to the national Farmer- Uabor-I Vogresxi ve convention in Si. '-Paul on June 17. according to leaders in the “third party" movement here. These states, according to tentative plans, will give the convention a voting strength of I>7 T. apportioned on the I basis of the electoral vote of each state I and the "progressive" vote in the 1922 • elections. I While the convention’s voting [strength is set at less than 1.000. the ’ocal committee expects several thou sand delegates at the convention with each delegate in many cases casting, only a fraction of a vote. Arrangements are being made to handle from four to five thousand delegates. ! States that will be represented. ac cording to announcement here, are New I York. Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. West Virginia. Ohio, Illinois. Inditnt. Alabama. Louisiana. Oklahome. Texas, Missouri. Kansas. North Dakota. South Dakota. lowa. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Michigan. Massachusetts. (Vmneeticut. New Jersey. Kentucky and Colorado. ‘“Delegates are to he selected from labor unions, farmers oganizations, co operative orgnnizaztions.* state Farm er-Labor parties, state federations of labor, international unions, and nation al working class political parties." ac cording to the local committee. Plans outlined here are on the ex pectation that the convention will last four days and nominate a third party national ticket. The temporary chair man of the * convent i >n. it is believed, nrohably will be William Mahoney. St. Paul labor leader. Appointment and work of the cre dentials committee is cxxpccted to oc cupy most of the first"’day of the con vention. with organization work taking up the Second day. Several speakers of national-wide repute are being sought. Platform, and resolutions coin ni it tees will be appointed by the convention im mediately after the credentials com mittee has reported. Nomination of a presidential ticket will be the closing business.of the convention, under plans of the local commitee “Some plans will have to Is' worked out by a committee on organization as to how to cement Jill the sections of tin movement.. into one national political party.” this committee said. There is only one name mentioned in regard to presidential candidates at convention headquarters here, and that is Senator Robert M. Lafollette of Wis consin. There have biKMi no public sug gestion here as to vice-presidential choice. Just what plans will be used ip work ing out a national party of the elements I hat are expected to participate in the convention, are problematical. It has been indicated, however, that some ' definite state organisation, such as the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota, might be attempted in each state in the belief that voting power could best be accomplished through the state union basis. The “third party” movement., as pro moted 1 by th<> forthcoming convention here had its ineipieney in the Non partisan Iteague. first organized in • North Dakota nine years ago as a po litical- power. In spreading to Minne i sota. the league identity was dropped m polities, and the Farmer-Labor party - was formed. League and Fanner-Labor , partv activity has spread in many other • states particularly of the northwest, making itself felt in state elections.

Convention Swirl Running High. Cleveland, Ohio, June 9 (By the Asso ciated Press). —The convention swirl is running at high tide.* Vice Presidential candidates are being earned about in its currents without bein* landed anywhere. Delegations are caucusing, choos ing their selections the convention committees, and naming their representa tives on the incoming national commit tees. The platform builders today were hold ing preliminary conferences, and the plat fon ,itself began to take shape with the arrival of (’. Baseom Slemp. secretary to President Coolidge, who conferred with Chairman Warren of the resolutions com mittee, Wm. Butler, the President's cam paign manager, and Frank W. Stearns his friend. “ The Lowden boomers got their breath overnight, and their feeling that the for mer governor of Illinois would not elimi nate himself by yesterday’s declination of the nomination gathered force. Denies Child Brings Mills South. Charlotte, uJne 7. —That Hie mills of New England are moving to the south for economic reasons and not because of child labor and longer working hours was the assertion of David Claark, edi tor of the Textile Bulletin, at a lunch eon of.the Kiwanis Club. Mr. Clark asserted that in south last year biH 1993 children under 14 years of age were permitted to work. No State in the south or New England permits children under fourteen to work, except that in the south special permits are issued in certain cases. The hours of work in the south are longer than the hours-per-week of employment in New England, with the exception of Massa chusetts. which has a 48-hour week. Mr. Clark said the New England Mills are neither efficient, nor efficiently operated. That the south can today undersell Fall r River in the manufat-ture of print cloth- He stated that 400.000 New. England spindles had moved south in the last six months and predicted 1 that, migration would be more general in the nexxt three years. He said cur tailment of mills in recent months had kept 255.000.000 pounds of manufac tured cotton off the market, and pre -1 dieted ttfat. if this curtailment is con ' tinned two months longer, it will de velop a sellers market and a general and " rapid improvement in general business conditions. ALL FREIGHT RATES ORDERED ADJUSTED Rates Throughout l uited States Affect ed by Order of Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, June 9.—Express rates throughout the country were ordered re adjusted today by the Interstate Com merce Commission, which authorized general increases in the eastern zone, approximating eight per cent., and slight reductions in the and South. The present rates have the 1912 rates as their basis, and include several hori zontal increases which have been grant ed since 1918. > The Southern basic rote of 20 cents which was horizontally increased to 30 cents, would be decreased to approxi mately 28 1-2 cents. - - i Expect Premier Kiyoura to Resign. 1 Tokio, June 6 (By the Associated Press). —The cabinet today agreed to meet in extraordinary session June 9th This is understood to mean that Pre mier Kiyoura means to tender the resig i nation of his cabinet on that date.

Names of Those Most Prominently Men tioned For the Place. " Cleveland. June 9. —With only one presidential probability before the con vention. delegatee to the big Republican gathering .here are getting as much fun as they can out of gossiping about the l chances of the various entires in the contest for second place. Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, is mentioned a great deal. He’.s about the best possible compromise between an “insurgent” and a "regular,” He's a good campaigner. He has "jazz." in which Coolidge is somewhat lacking. And he’s from the west. It would be better, however, if he came from a stale with more electoral votes. Senator George Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania, was quite strongly urged a few weeks ago but isn’t so much talked of now. He’s from a state with lots of votes but it’s too far east. Votes and Geography. Ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge is pretty strong. Indiana has both votes and the right kind of location. Bev eridge has a reputation as a progressive. President Coolidge thought well enough of him as a running mate about a month ago to have talked the matter over with him. Senator James E. Watson, another. Hoosier. is a candidate, too. One of the leading Washington fortune tellers foretold recently that he’d be vice presi dent —if that counts for anything , Senator Charles L. McNairy, of Ore gogn. is well spoken of. As sponsor of the McNairy bill, the purpose of which is to boost prices of agricultural prod ucts. it's believed the fanners would like him. Charles G. Dawes has been quoted to the effect that he didn't want the nomi nation, but he has supporters neverthe less. Kansas and lowa. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, and ex-Senator William S. Kenyon, of lowa,-are from farm states and mildly progressive in politics. Missouri is quite a farm state likewise and none too safely Republican, so a favorite son from there might strengthen the ticket. Hence Gov. Arthur M. Hyde is suggested. Ex-Governor Frank (). Lowden, of Illinois, has considerable support. So has Senator Frank P>. Willis, of Ohio, though lie’s hurt himself with the "in surgent” element by criticizing the re cent congressional investigations, which were of "insurgent” inspiration mainly. War Records. Tlip names of Gen. John J. Pershing, who calls Wyoming his home state, ami James W. Gerard, of New York, who was American ambassador in Berlin when the war broke out, are heard oc casionally# Ralph B. Straussburger .is a rich Pennsylvanian who would like the nom ination and the frequency and emphasis with which he has said so have made liime somewhat of a sure-enough candi date. His boom is small, to be rare. . and yet creditable considering that he produced it atl by himself out of noth ing at all. DIPLOMATS AND ROAD BUILDERS STOP HERE Great Fleet of Automobiles Carrying * Distinguished Guests Stopped at King Tut Station. The forty or more South American diplomats, engineers and read builders who are making a study of road building in North .Carolina as the guests of the North Carolina highway commission made a brief visit to Concord yesterday afternoon. The great fleet of automobiles carry ing the distinguished guests rolled into Conconnd shortly after 4 o’clock and they were directed by city officials and members of the county highway commis sion to the King Tut station where re freshments were served to them. The visitors were enthusiastically greeted along the route that led through this city, and while there was no for mal reception for them here numbers of persons lined the highways leading into and from the city. Frank Crowell, manager of King Tut station No. 1. where the fleet was halted for refreshments, offered service de luxe to the members of the party. lee cold coca cola, ice cream and sandwiches were served in abundance, and in addi tion there were huge tanks of iee water. The party stopped in Concord en route from Salisbury to Charlotte. In 1 the Rowan city the party was enter “ tained at lunch and in Charlotte the ' party spent the night. Co-operative Marketing. Agricultural matters control all busi ness. So declared the bankers of the State at their recent meeting at Ashe ville, and through the recommendation of their agricultural committee they voted, what the farmer needs, as the bankers see the situation, is better organized mar keting facilities. The Southern Manu facturers Association at their recent meeting in Atlantic City, endorsed co operative marketing as best calculated to further the joint interests of manufactur er and farmer. The business men of the country everywhere are with the move ment. For the purpose of securing the co-op eration of the business men of Concord and the members of the Co-operative As sociation of Cabarrus county in a cam paign of the county for securing addi tional members, in order that the great work may be accomplished for which the State Association was formed and which our bankers, manufacturers and busi ness men generally see to be so neces sary, Mr. U. B. Blalock, general man ager of the State Association, will ad dress our citizens’ on Saturday, June 14, at two o'clock p. m. Prohibition Party to Enter Candidates. Columbus, O, June 6 (By the Associ ated Press).- —The prohibition National Convention today voted to continue the party machinery and nominate candi dates. and make its usual campaign for principles. It rejected a resolution pro •! posing that no ticket be put in the field. Cabarrus ‘"Lean Big Primary Majority CABARRUS FIRST TO MAKE REPORT Beat Rest of State in Filing With Associated Press the Complete Primary Returns Cabarrus county led the State Satur day night in eombiling returns from the Democratic primary. The county was the first to make a precinct report to the Associated Press and was also the first to make a complete report. At 8 o'clock returns from nine of the 22 precincts in the county had been re ported to The Tribune and these re turns were immediately flashed over the State over the leased wire which was in stalled in The Tribune office. Shortly after this preliminary report was filed Editor Sherrill received congratulations from the Associateed Press men in Ral eigh on the promptness with which he had handled the Cabarrus figures. When The Tribune, shortly after nine o’clock, filed complete returns from the county another message of congratula tions came from the A. P„ this message declaring Cabarrus had 'been the first county in the State to file complete re turns. At midnight, when the leased wire service was stopped for the night, no other county in the State had “reported its full vote. The Tribune was able to send in t'he Cabarrus vote early in tlu* night because of the co-operation it received from the judges at the various voting places Mr. Sherrill and Major Foil. the latrer chairman of the county Democratic exec utive committee, had written the judges asking them to send the results to The Tribune as soon as the vot.e was counted, and the fact that the judges complied with these requests made it possible for the entire vote of the county to be flash ed over the State two hours after the polls had closed. Associated Press reports sent out to morning papers yesterday gave Cabarrus full credit for the speedy manner in which her votes were counted and the results dispatched to all parts of the State. J.
