SEN. SMITH SAYS CO-OPS WILL WIN Farm Bloc Leader Tells South ern Belt Farmers To Stick By Association. At tht largest mass meeting of to bacco farmers held in North Caro lina this year, United Ststes Senator, E. D. Smith, told members of tbt To bscco Growers' Co-operative Asso ciation from ths South Carolina belt that the associated farmers of the tobscco snd cotton co-operatives may look, next year for 75 per cent pay ments on delivery to their associa tion, if the bill which he has intro duced to help finance the marketing associations becomes lsw st the next session of Congress in Washington. A berbecue st Cbadbourn, where the merchants snd Chamber ef Com merce turned hosts to 'the farmers of Columbus snd adjoining counties on the meeting dsy of the Columbus County Unit of the tobacco associa tion, last Tuesday became a huge af fair, featured by the roasting of twenty-two pigs and several beeves, a fiddlers' convention at which old- ume xunes were enjoyed and a re union of the co-operative farmers who met from North and South Caro lina. But the feature of the day was the prophecy by tbe veteran leader of the senatorial farm bloc that be fore the expiration of their present contract members of the tobacco as sociation will receive 75 per cent of tbe value of their tobacco upon de livery and far more from it than they could hope to gain without or ganization. Senator Smith earnestly warned the farmers that to continue and ful fill the" success of co-operative mar keting, tbey must do their share in signing up and delivering enough to bacco to the association to make the volume of the product guarantee a control of the price. VWe must have a majority of the product" he warned the farmers, "and it is not fair for you to come as mendicantes to Congress when they bavt helped you with the War Finance Corpor ation, with the Intermediate Credit Act snd with special exemption from the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, unless you show that you mean business and del majority ef ye-wr tobaocb tooths, .co-operative warehouses of your -own association." Senator Smith - explained that the feature of his' bill,,, which -makes it t'n e hope of the farmer, is that it du plicates the Federal Reserve system for the benefit of the farmers. . . Satisfaction over the second pay ment mads by the tobacco associa tion last week in . Eastern North Carolina is expressed by farmers from . all sections ' of the, Eastern Belt, ' snd many cases have occurred where association members have al ready received more for their two payments to -their own selling or ganization than' it has been possible for their neighbors to obtain on the outside. I. Herring, -a member of the association from Snow Hill writes: I had a tenant that did not wont to pool his tobacco and who was not a member of the association. We divided four barns and he-averaged for his on the open market f 18.40, sever to receive anymore, ; and pooled my part and have averaged for. mine, with the first and second payments) $19.o7 and still another payment to come. B. F. Dean, of Wendell Route No. 2, divided seven acres of tobacco with his tenant Doc High, who received (347.95 for his three and a half acres on the auction floor. Last week's payment to Mr, Dean brought his receipts on his 1923 deliveries to the association , to ex actly 8449.64," with another payment to come ff om tht association. Charles E. Hughes, of. Wilson, sold a load of tobacco on the . suction r' warehouse floor and took it in at 8110.48, de livering it to the - co-operative asso eiation from which his two payments to date net him $115.00. Many other similar cases wich have encouraged members of the tobacco association in Eastern Worth Carolina occurred last week, according to the associa ted farmers at Various marketing points ox the Las tern Belt , Within recent months, says Dairy man T. JV. Koss, be has lost several hundred milk bottles which have been supplied kis customers in making de liveries "of milk each morning and evening. ;, By hot placing these bot tles convenient for ths deliveryman to take up and return to the dairy 3 causing considerable inconvenience to " Mr. Ross, who is desirous that every milk patron, look about "their premises for these bottles and have them returned to the dairy promptly.

Battleship, An Associated Press dispatch from San Pedro, Cal., dated June 12th brought tidings of another death aeaung . mishap an board of an American battleship. The dispatch says: Forty-six men were killed outright and probably 20 injured today when turret number 2 on the battleship Mississippi blew up while the dread- naught was in firing practice on the San Clements drill grounds off here, The - explosion occurred esrly in ths afternoon. Tbe dreadnaught Imme diately after the explosion wirelessed the navy hospital ship Relief in the harbor here, and it proceeded full speed, making a record run for the 45 miles , between the harbor and drill grounds. The white hospital ship immediate ly proceeded to meet the dread- naught and the meeting was effected just outsid the breakwater. As the transfer of stretfaer cases started, a second violent explosion occurred when s 14 inch shell discharged, the projectile narrowly missing the coast wise passenger liner Yale at the har bor entrance. Within a few minutes sfter the dreadnaught came to anchor, 20 stretcher cases were transferred by small boats to the hospital ship. Tarral Blowa Away . Details were 1 lacking as the stricken war craft , speeded shore ward snd watchers st the point signal station, here reported that tbe views about the, turret' showed it had been blown away.

A "flareback" from one of the 14 inch rifles in the turret ignited the powder supply . which . practically wiped out of. existence the entire crew. of the turret room' and also killed several men in ' the ' upper handling room. Several Terribly Beraad ' Four powder bugs containing 450 pounds of explosive each were inside the rifle turret according to one of the surviving sailors in the handling room above, where several were also killed. '. : . Y.:- Of the injured, several sailors in the passage spaces and handling room above the turret were terribly burn ed by gas from the explosive. The 14-inch rifle that ignited the turret powder supply was practicing extreme elevation firing at the mo ment of the explosion, the idea be ing to take advantage 'of the battle ship's roll or list to the opposite side for maximum altitude and efficiency of the gun. " " , , ' j Ku Klux Takes Hand When Law Fails to Function An article appearing ' in the Wil- liamston Enterprise has the follow ing account of an incident the State press has failed to take note, since it apparently did not occur in Nash: "On Friday night about 10:00 o'clock, J.
