GOVERNMENT MAKES
Loans for cotton
*2o,ooo,ooo Available For Co-opera
tree Associations, Federal Speaker
Says.
’Washington. Oet. 7.—UP) —The
government has extended a *30,000,-
000 credit to co-operative marketing
associations for the orderly marketing
of the cotton crop.
A. C. WHliams, chairman of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, assured
the co-operative associations in a
message today that the government
was willing to extend any “proper
credit” for marketing the crop.
Os the *30,000.000 in commitments
made by the intermediate credit banks,
*7,000.000 in loans has already been
drawn.
The message of Mr. Williams to one
of the managers of a co-operative as
sociation read: “Intermediate credit
banks are able and willing to extend
proper credit for the orderly market
ing at cotton through soundly organ
ized and properly' managed co-opera
tive marketing associations.
“I am confident you will find a
willingness oil the part of al{ in
terests to co-operate in My soapd
plan for marketing this year's cotton
crop."
While it Is believed by some offi
cials that perhaps more than *30,000,-
000 credit will be required to market
the crop satisfactorily, none would
state how far the Federal land Banks
or the Intermediate Credit Banks
would go in this regard/ ,

“|t Is Hire to Stay,” Said Judge Gore
at Nashviltt

No '..vijie, Tenn.. Or). 7.—Moddica-1
lion of the prohibition '.aw will never |
occur and rightfully should not. Judge j
John M. Gore told a federal grand t
jury here this week in his charge,
officially opening the fa‘,l term of the
middle Tennessee federal court.
Thf judge wns plain in his eritfejsni |
of the so-onlled non-believer of the
prohibition act, adding ttiat if the
court*,, trial judges and attorney gen
era.s arc honest in their endeavor the
law can be enforced.
"The prohibition law will never be
repen'rd nr modified,” said the judge.
"It is here to stay and rightfully
should-be." , +
Judge Gore scored those who tried
to protect violators of the liquor laws
and prevent them from receiving pun
ishment. Even clergymen attempted
to protect wealthy members of t'iicir
congregations, he said, because of their
liberal'contribution to the church.
The jurist called attention to a re
cent- visit of a clergyman who railed
upon his court in the interest of a
liquor violator, adding that the min
ister made a special plea on the
grounds that the offender was one of
the most liberal contributors to tiis
church.
It.'is up to the governor to enforce
the prohibition law, the judge con
tinued. Failure, he said, would be
an admission to the Reds and Bol
shevicks that other laws could not be
enforced.
The judge impressed upon the jury
that he bad no sympathy for the big
or “white-collar” bootlegger, who is
a menace to the community nnd an
enemy to the American flag, he said.

More Happy Workers Need, Says
Preacher.
Charlotte, Oct. o.—“lf any one
curse is in the church today it’s the
splendid people not working for
God,” Rev. Mel Trotter, noted evan
gelist, d-clared last night at the
First Presbyterian church, where he
is conducting a series of evangelistic
meetings.
“Another evil in the church,” Mr.
Trotter pointed out, ‘‘is the seel liv
ing lightly and flippantly. Living for
society, yes, clean-cut society and
business-
“Lots of things that we call suc
cess in this wor'd are wasted and
an utter failure in God's sight,” the
evangelist asserted.
“How then can we get right?” the
minister asked his hearers. “By con
fessing our sins,” he explained, "and
righting ourselves with both God and
our feilowman.”
“Wash your stripes and God will
restore unto you the years that the
Locusts have eaten,” Mr. Trotter de
clared.
“Everyday spent outside of the
will of God is a wasted day and how
much time do you spend with God
and working for him?
“How much money have you left
after giving to God? A blighted soul
loses its song, Are you any better
than you were a year ago You can’t
stand still In the Christian life,” the
evangelist said,
Bpeaking of long-faced Christians,
Mr. Trotter declared what the
church needed was more “happy
workers.”

They were official town criers,
gathered from all parts of the South

they were immense; as a spectacle

marched through the village to the

There were all sorts of bright

the criers looked like courtiers of the
Middle Ages, others like highway
men. gallants of the days of Beau
Nash, glorified street-car conductors
and bandsmen. Several had more
