Geneva, Sept. B. —OB—Europe
buried the great war today when amid
applause which shook the hall of the
league of nations assembly, Germany
unanimously was elected a member of
the league, and unanimously also ac
corded a permanent seat on the league
council.
When the coll call of states was
taken. Fore’gn Minister Briand of
France, pronounced a sonorous “Yes"
and turned his eyes toward the press
galleries as if he wanted the word to
go forth throughout the world that
France was first and foremost to wel
come her ancient enemy into the fold
of conciliation and harmony.
Foreign Minister Vandervelde of
Belgium with equal enthusiasm pro
claimed approval of Germany's admis
sion, while Sir Austen Chamberlain’s
contribution to unanimity on behalf of
Great Britain whs crisp, clear and eas
ily heard throughout the crowded au
ditorium.
Despite protests from' the Scandi
navian states against the policy of
linking Germany's election with ap
> proval of an increase in the number
cf non-permanent council seats from
6 to 1), this augmentation was ratified
also unanimously. Three Reats for
I-atln-Americn on the council thus are
secured.
President Ninchitoh of the assem
bly. was visibly much moved whep he
announced Germany’s unanimous ad
mission. M. ,Ninehitoh is fore’gn
minister of Jugo-Slavio, the country
which now embraces the town of- Sara

the Austrian duke Ferdinand, which

“It gWwsaflter all,” be sa‘d, “that
Germany's election was blocked they ;
were not disheartened by difficulties
which seemed almost overpowering.
We have accomplished today by vot-1
ing Germany in. one of the most nec
essary, (post delicate and most im
portant acts in the development Os the
league of nations.” i
Two minutes after adjournment of
the assembly nntll afternoon, the,
league's secretary, Sir Eric Drum-1
nioml has flashed a / telegram to for-,
e'gn minister Btresentfuln in Berlin |
announcing Germany’s election to the]
council. A German delegation is ex-1

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Finn at An Advance of M) to
14 Points.—October Goes Higher.
New York, Sept. B. — (A*) —The cot
ton market opened firm today at an
advance of 10 to 14 points, with all
months except October making new
high records for the season in response
to firm Liverpool cables, further ad
vices in the future market of Egyptian
cotton at Alexandria, and prospects
for further showers in the South.
December sold up to 18.15 and
March to 18.45. or 12 to 14 poißts
above yesterday's closing quotations,
but these price attracted a good deal
of realizing which probably was pro
moted by uncertainty of the showing
of the government report due at mid
day. There also was sortie spot bouse
selling which caused reactions of 8 or
f> points before the end of the first
hour.
Liverpool attributed the advances
there to trade calling and covering.
Cotton futures opened firm: Octo
ber 17.03; December 18.13; January
18.18; March 18.43; May 1&55.

’- A MESSAGE TO THE
* TOBACCO GROWERS
'J Governor McLean Admonishes to
~ Work Toward Producing iT Superior
Grade of Tobacco, ,
" Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Sept. 8. —A message of
' congratulation to the tobacco growers
1 of the state commending them for
their hard work and the excellent
’ crop of tobacco that has been pro
duced, and admonishing them to work
.toward the raising of a steadily su
"•perior quality of tobacco, was trans
r mitted today through The Tribune
correspondent by Governor A. W. Me,
Lean, attendant to the opening today
of the tobacco markets over the state.
" “The farmers of the state who are
’ today taking the first loads of their
tobacco crops are congratulat
ed.” said Governor McLean. “There
| is still a good margin of profit for
| the farmer who raises a goo,) grade of
tobacco, and unlike cotton, the mar
' ket is expanding all the time and ade
quately taking care of the increased
yeald, despite the fact that tobacco
' raising requires much labor and. care
■ ful attention.
“In view of the lessening demand
for cotton and the inability to raise
eptton at a profit, the farmers of the
state must turn -to those activities
that will require less labor and bring
ibejn a greater return. And tobacco
lb. doing this. As long as the farm
.era 1 continue to grow better tobacco
itottohtraa that-abos a higher tpraiffr
ahd greater weight to the acre—.they
, ean be stir* of prospering. The tre
mendous growth of Hie tobacco indus
try not only in the United States, but|
|ln the export trade as well, is suf- 1
ficient proof that the demand for to-!
Baeco is going to continue not only j
to hold its own but to grow each year.!
i The great increase in the sale of man- j
ufactured tobacco products, such as i
I cigars and cigarettes, in foreign coun- 1
I tries, especially in the far east, as in l
, China, Japan, and in Asia generally,
has had a remarkably stimulating ef
jfect upon the export trade. Tbou-
I sands of pounds of tobacco are being
j shipped yearly directly from North
I Carolina to China and the orient
1 where tha preference for American
’grown tobacco is increasing very rap
idly.”
The formers.must not hope to rely
entirely on tobaceo, however, the gov
ernor said, urging them all to diver
sify their crops and thug become in
dependent of any one crop, urging a
small dairy herd as an all the year
round money producing crop.

The report shows that last year
I Secretary Everett's office turned over

$110,32.1.38 for Hie previous year. The
corporation tax furnished $220,673 22
I of the total, and amounts paid in by
, foreign corporations ran it np $25,-
| 117.00. Both these amount were far
, 1“ excess of last year’s totals, but the
, corporation tax was aided by thesin
gle payment of $130,000 by the Caro

Dunning and Sharpe May Bury
Hatchet.
Charlotte Sept. , 7.—While the
United States Marshall M. C. Coin,
held two persons here under bond in
connection with a raid on the Hells
Hole section of South Carolina which
was conducted by M. O. Dunning, of
Savannah, Ga., prohibition co-or
dinator of the Carolinas, Georgia and
Florida, an air of apprehension hung
Tuesday over eight district head
quarters.
I Ben C. Sharpe, district adminis
trator, who has been the center of a
tangled situation in dry circles for
several weeks, was closeted at his of
fice during the morning with A H-
Price, of Salisbury, legal advisor of
the eighth district. This conference,
it was believed here, will end with
wiping out the differences which are
said to have sprung up between Mr.
Sharpe and Mr. Dunning.
during the past week in which com
munity and state-wide advertising pro
jects were discussed by the city’s busi
ness men in connection with High
Point’s expansion movement, J. El
wood Cox pointed out that North
Carolina is today more than a “Bil
lion Dollar” State. In manufactur
ing, agricultural, mineral and timber
industries North Carolina produces
annually approximately $1,300,000,000
worth of products. “Surely,” he said,
“North Carolina cities and towns fan
afford to spend together $150,000 an
nually to tell the world about their
billion dollar state.” Each city In
the collective movement, he said, will
receive benefits vastly in excess of
the amount it spends. Mr. Cox says
thpt the plans|and purposes of North
Obrolinas, Incorporated, are sound.
Already the announcement thkt
North Carolina is preparing to adver
tise her tremendous resources and
great development to Hie nation at
large bas attracted wide attention
throughout the country. The adver
tising will be designed to follow up
In a more definite manner the reams

Drum ol higher. County Limerick,
Ireland, Sept. 7.—Forty-eight -of
those who perished Sunday night in
the fire which swept a flimsy wooden

charred beyond identification.
The story of the disaster which
has put so many families in this dis

harrowing in detail, of men, women

Then, when a spark set the nimf

the building, efforts to quench the
flames only succeeded in spreading
them in all directions. A great panic
ensued. The solitary exit soon was
blocked; the rickety stairs brokt

escape 'by -barred windows, others
were caught in the struggling mass.
Many did reach the outer air, but
50 were burned or crushed to death.

GOV. McLEAN IN SPEECH
ENCOURAGES AND WARNS
Places Particular Emphasis on Dairy
ing as a Year Round Money Crop.
(By Staff Cor respondent)
Conway, Sept. 8.- — A note both of
encouragement and warning was
aounded by Governor A. W. McLean
here today in an address before the
Kirby Farmers’ Club of Northampton
county when he commended tfiem for
the ndvance they have made toward
diversification, but warned them that
they must get more and more away
from cotton and turn to dairying,
poultry, truck crops and the better
grades of tobacco if they were really
desirous of genuine economic; inde
pendence. But particular emphasis
was placed on dairying because it sup
plies a ‘year round “money crop”, at
the sable time requiring a minimum
amount of labor.
“One reason cotton can no longer
be grown at a profit is because of the
shortage of labor and the high cost
of what labor is available. And
these costs are mounting constantly,
as you all know,” the governor told I
the farmers. “On the other hand,'
here is a small dairy herd. Ido
not advocate a large dairy herd to
begin with. Begiti modestly and ex
pand your herd as . conditions may
warrant. Compared with other phases
of farming, a dairy herd (toes not be
gin to require the amount of labor I
that other phases of farming do. But j
it has this difference —it requires more t
skilled labor. But one or two good, I
skilled men can produce as much I
from' a good dairy herd as half a!
dozen men can working cotton in the
same time. And with this difference,
t’liat the dairy herd is producing a dol
lar crop, month in and month out,
thus assuring a steady, dependable
source of income throughout the year.
And that is what you men need. North
Caroolina farmers in the past and
right now, too, are too dependent up
on credit. Every farmer needs, some
thin# that will assure hirif of a cash
income tlie year round. And only
a dairy '.lord or 9 flock of chickens, or
both, will do this.”
Governor McLean then turned to a
discussion of truck prog
ress which has been made in truck
farming in the eastern part of the
state, and the benefits yet to be de
rived from more intensive and scien
tific truck firming. He also advo
cated more extensive poultry raising
on a regl scientific basis for egg pro
duction. Planting and raising of
ouly the very best grades of tobacco
was advocated by the governor.

NAMES OF DEAD MEN
TO FIGURE IN TRIAL
This Indicated in Preliminaries of the
Daugherty-Milled Trial, h
New York. Sept. B.— OP)— I The
names of two men now in their graves
Will figure prominently in the triaf
of Harry M. Daugherty, former at
torney general, and Thos. W. Miller,
'former alien property custodian, on
charges of conspiring to defraud the
government, while they held high pub
lic office.
This was made clear today when
United States District Attorney Buck
ner. presenting the prosecution’s case,
mentioned repeatedly the names of the
late John T. King, of Bridgeport, once
Republican national committeeman
from Connecticut, and the late Jesse
W. Smith, aide and confidante of
Daugherty, who committed suicide in
1923.
King and Smith, Mr. Buckner
charged, “pulled the strings” in bring
ing about the transfer to allegedly
German claimants of $7,000,00 real
ized from the sale of American Metals
j Company securities, seized as enemy
property when the United States en
tered the World War.
Richard Merton, German metal
magnate, is another man who will fig
ure prominently in the trial, appear
ing as a government witness. He and
1 his family, the government contends,
| control the two German firms and
I the supposedly Swiss firm that \gere
involved in the transfer of the $7.-
000,000.
I “We will show by government rec
j ords of ‘notel, travel and other ex
pense accounts.” said Mr. Buckner,
“that Miller, Smith, Daugherty, John
T. King, and Merton met in New
York City on April 19. 1921. and that
Miller, Siqith and Daugherty came

THE PASSING OF THE
MISSISSIPPI STEAMERS
Railroads and Telegraph Have Put
Them Out of Business,
(By International News Service)
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. B.— With
the closing of the excursion boat sea
, son iii Memphis the first of October
the passing of the last of the Mis
sissippi river's old line of packet
steamers will be seen iu this river
port.
Rnilrohds have made transportation
cheaper and quicker, and telegraph
and telephones have ended the river's
usefulness for communication pur
poses.
Twenty years ago two dozen packet
steamers were docked at Memphis.
They made trips down to New Or
leans and as far north as St. Louis.
But as their business grew less
and less one by one these boats were
sold or junked.
Finally, in one last effort to re
vive river transportation, the Adams
sud I.ee line docks, rivals for half a
century, united and pressed several
boats into service.
But in vain. Hie company was
soon bankrupt.
So all the steamers were sold to
logging outfits up and down the river
for small sums.
Two were purchased and converted
into excursion steamers. They have
operated all summer, earning dancers
lat night and picnickers in daylight
hours, but when the cold weather sets
in this winter they will cease to run
Perhaps they will be sold or remain
idle until next summer. V. ,W!
