Will Help Finance Cc -il. - ' T ’-'7 Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Oct. 28.—Eleven millions of dollars available in North Carolina with which cotton farmers may fi nance their cotton and hold it off the market for a period of two years! This, in substance, is tire gist of the announcement made by Governor A. W. McLean that more than sl,- 000,(KM) has already been subscribed toward the capital stock of the Cot ton Finance Corporation, being or ganized at his instigation last Satur day in Greensboro to assist the farm ers of the state to hold back their cotton until prices improve. "The response of t'ue bankers and business men of the state has been most encouraging and most remarka ble,” said the governor in commenting on the situation. "Nearly $2,000,000 has already been offered, instead of the $1,000,000 desired, and I am con vinced that it would have been just as- easy to get a capitalization of $5,- 000,000 as it was to get $1,00,000. This is also an outstanding example of the interest which the bankers and business men fell in aiding the farm ers and is au evidence of the concern Ciiey have for higher prices for cotton. With this corporation assured, and with adequate warehouse space availa ble, there is no reason why the out look should not improve at once.” Attention was called to the fact, that through the Cotton Finance Cor poration, cotton warehouse receipts and loans made on cotton in storage could be discounted through file Fed eral Intermediate Bank up to $lO,- 0(M),000, making $11,000,000 in all that will be available to the cotton farmers in the state. The interest rate will not be over 6 per cent, and perhaps even less. The storage space in bonded ware houses available at present is enough to take care of from 400,000 to 500,- 000 bales, and the cost per bale per month for the first year is but 35 cents, including handling charges, storage and insurance and for the second year, or any fraction of it, file charge will be but 20 cents per month.

The finance committee will co-operate with the banks and the cotton finance corporation, now being organized, and other agencies in the state as to ways and means of relieving the situation. It will also enable those desiring to I do so to carry their cotton at the low est possible cost for as long a period as two years, if necessary. This committee will in no wise be connected with the cotton finance com mission in any other than an advisory capacity, however, as the finance cor poration will elect its own officers and directors at the first meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, which is expected to take place in a few days. A telegram has been received by Governor McLean from Eugene Meyer, of President Coolidge's cotton com mittee, advising that cotton financing corporations of $1,000,000 capitaliza tion have been assured in t'he states of Louisiana, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama and that other cotton states are working on plans to pro vide similar corporations.

Tb-j ! day, all their Ohio lands are in the | [ hands of others, and the Shakers have j ! gone. The few j?olonies remaining in j ! the East, at East Canterbury, N. H.; j ! Pittsfield. Mass., and West Albany, | | and Mount Lebanon, N. Y., number i [ but a few dwindling hundreds. Founded 150 Years Ago. More than a century and a half ago. the adherents of ‘'Mother Ann Lee’ ; came to America from England, and J established the first colony of Soakers in New York state. Nearly a cen tury and a quarter ago John Meach am, Issachar Bates and Benjamin Youngs, missionaires of the new faith, came over the Alleghanies to Lebanon, ! Ohio, where they set up the banner i of the Shakers in the wilderness. Despite opposition, tiie new sect i grew and became wealthy. The Shak ers bought the best land in the region. They were sober, industrious, pious | and honest. They abolished marriage and depended upon converts from other denominations or “from the world” to keep up their membership. But they offered the convert little be yond a life of peace and quiet. When a man and his wife joined the sect, all their material possessions passed j into the hands of the church, and the i conjugal ties were abolished. Lives Almost Monastic. Shakers made their life almost mon astic in color. Like monks and nuns they toiled for their church, gave suc cor to the needy, and maintained the ( relationship of brothers and sisters. The “pooling” of lands and ail re sources in the hands of the church made it a communistic enterprise. There was little intellectual life, j and education was not encouraged un-1 til the later years of the church. The j Shakers believed that Adam and Eve were the physical progenitors of man, 1 but that man's spiritual nature sprang j from the mythical union of Jesus and Ann Lee. . But the church and communistic colonies founded on these beliefs and practices did nos prospar. There w ere desertions; Schisms broke out f With in comparatively few years the mem bership in Ohio dropped from more than a thousand to the one lone Quak er still in Lebanon, and the total, membership in all the colonies in America from more than 6,000 to less than half a thousand.
