Blackwood Governor Ehringhaus had been invit ed to the meeting by Governor Black wood, but was unable to attend and asked Commissioner" Graham to go as his representative. “While our problem here in North Carolina is tobacco and tobacco prices cotton is the big problem in South Carolina now,” Governor Ehringhaus said. “Our cotton farmers have been steadily reducing their cotton acre age, with het result that we rae in pretty good shape here in North Car olina,” the Governor said. “If the South Carolina cotton farmers had done as much to reduce acreage dur ing the past three years as the North Carolina farmers have done, they would not be in the serious plight they now are. And if our tobacco farmers had reduced their acreage ifi the same proportion that the cotton farmers have, they would also be in a much better condition.” Governor Ehringhaus is deeply in terested in the effort Governor Black wood is making In South Carolina to solve the cottno problem and is going to give him all the cooperation pos sible, he said. “Governor Blackwood has cooperat ed with us here in North Carolina so splendidly in dealing wtih the tobacco situation, that I am going to help him in every way possible in dealing "with the cotton problem,” Governor Eh ringhaus said. “If there is anything ■we can do up here to help the cotton farmers in South Carolina, we want to do it. That is why I asked Com missioner of Agriculture Graham to attend this meeting and then report back to me if there is anything we can do.” BIG STRIKE LOOMS IN SOFT COAL AREA Uniontown, Pa., Sept 12.—(AP) —Twenty-fire mines are idle and 10,1'00 miners are on “holiday” as tension increased in the south western Penn«tylvania ituminou* coal fields under the threat of a general strike which would in volve many more thousands, GROWERS OPPOSED TO NEW SCALE OF GINNING CHARGES Code Conference at Mem phis Adjourns at Mid night Without Action on Schedules flanterjTresist SCALES SUGGESTED Object To Paying More Than $3.50 Per Bale For 1,500 Pounds of Seed Coth ton; Ginners’ Proposal Would Lift Rates From $3.75 to $4.50 per Bale Memphis, Tenn..

Wall St Is Optimistic For Upturn If Autumn Business Revival Is Delayed, It Is No Sign Os Despair New York, Sept. 12. — (AP) —If that autumn revival in business, which tradition says should come on the heels of Labor Day, has failed to ma terialize, Wall Street analysts assert, it should cause no serious misgivings. As a matter of fact, they explain, that which fillow to business after Labor Day is largely a myth. Past records show that the autumn sea sonal impulse to business activity is as likely to be felt) in October as in September, and may even come later. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the road to recovery from past de pressions has always been rocky, so some momentary let-down, such as has recently occurred in lines like steel and cotton textiles, was to have been expected after th sharp upswing of recent months. In some respects the NRA campaign has added to uncertainties, and some Wall Street observers think it may have made for a little temporary hesi tancy, although it may well succeed in speeding the recovery process later on. Recovery from past depressions has frequently been speeded by invest ment of semi-speculative capital at tracted by low casts. But several tac tors at the moment, bankers say, have tendered to make capital timid, among them hte prospect of higher wages and higher costs sa a reslult of thu NRA campaign, PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY.
