With Cotton Problem
Confers With Leaders
The Chief Executive Told

SEN. ROBINSON
SEES PRESIDENT
Tells Him the Crop Re
porting Service Will Be
Abolished, if Possible, by
the Next Congress.
Washington, Oct. 9.—(A>)—A sym
posium of official views, and proposed
solution for the problem presented by
o reported surplus production of cot
ton, king of the southland’s products,
and a consequent decline in price, was
before President ('oclidge today for
consideration.
Belief that the Federal Reserve
4L System is able to finance the present
K, crop on whatever sound plan may be
devised, was expressed to the chief
•executive by Secretory Mellon, W.ille
Se< retary Jnrdine added that the crop
lends itself easly to credit, as it is
not injured by storage.
"Credit facilities through ordinary
banking channels appear to be ade
«piate,'’ said Secretary .Tardine, "but
we have in addition, if needed, the
services and resources of -the Inter
mediate Credit Hanks. It was for
just such emergencies ns the present
one that the banks were established.
Those in charge of them ’.mve assured
me that they are ready to do every
thing in their power. At present
they are loaning money freely to the
cotton co-operatives, and they are pre
pared to extend credit also to other
cotton farmers. If this additional
source of credit is needed, it may be
drawn upon by creating local finan
cial credit associations with n min
imum locnl capital of SIO,OOO, on
which SIOO,OOO might be borrowed for
periods ranging from six 'months to
three years, at a moderate rate of
interest.”
Senator Robinson, democrat, of Ar
kansas. in n white house conference,
sought government intervention in the
cotton situation in the way of funds
with which to finance orderly market
ing.. He predicted that a movement
would be made at the December sas-.
siiSn of'Congress to modify or abei*q]p
cottonorop ..sepotting awtagjS
■# tho Agebmlturfll department. I#irt¥»
\sentative Black, democrat, Texas, also
criticised the Department's forecasts
and expressed the opinion that the
present crop had been greatly over-es
timated by the department.
Secretary .Tardine remarking “it is
to the best interests of both producer
and consumer to avoid fluctuations in
cotton prices,” declared that he did
' not "share the view expressed by some
that a large crop of cotton or a large
carrying over from one season to the
next is a misfortune.”

] Shelby Statesman Ridi
l .cules G. O. P.—Wants
All to “Get Right” and
Vote With Democrats.
' (BY JAZZY MOORE)
Kannapolis, Oct.. 9.—Cabarrus pv
lit’cal upheavals got into full swing
last night when twelve candidates for
county officers and Hon. Clyde R.
- Hoey. of Bhelby, .qioke at one of the
largest political gatherings seen here
for some time.
Turning the full fury of his guns
on the Republican party in whole and
in part. Mr. Hoc.v ridiculed and r<*-
viled claims of prosperity
“Cotton is selling at eleven cents a
pound, and they call that prospjer’ty,”
he shouted. "If they are so respon
sible for present pros|>erit.v in the
nation why can’t Coolidge raise the
price of cotton?”
Ridiculing claims that the G. O. P.
has filled the country’s dinner pail.
Mr. Hoey declared that the country
was most prosperous during the Wil
son administration, but when the Re
publicans got in. prosperity got out
and it took years to revive.
"They have appointed one hundred
committees and sjieut five million dol
lars to find out about misappropria
tions, and they haven’t gotten back a
cent.” he maintained.
To the few Republicans present Mr.
Hoey invited them into the fold of
the democrats to get "right” and vote
the democratic ticket.
“I’m not pretending the Democratic
party is inherently virtuous,” he said,
"but honest citizens anywhere in the
world may honestly point with pride
at the Democratic records when that
party was in charge of the govern
ment.”
Indirectly he shouted. “There were
no Teapot Dome scandals in the Wood
row Wilson administration and nq
l’ttfe green house in Kstrej^,tecquto
mobilised and carried away
dred thousand dollar checks for )>art
payment on valuable government
property. Not to say anything spent
In a recent Pennsylvania election.
Why there’s not a Republican in the
United States with that amount of
money.”
Interwoven into his remarks on the
progress of the state of North Caroli
na during the last twenty-five years
under the democratic policy he told of
the death rate cut in half, of the con
tagious disease elimination, and of the
vaccinations effected, and declared
that through this law Republicans live
longer in North Carolina than any
where in the United States.
••Educationally,’-’- the speaker said.
"North Carolina has made more prog
ress in the last 25 years than any
other State of the 48. • In 1900 the
expenditures for new school -buildings
were $41,000. In 1920 they were more
than
tures for schools amounted to less
than a million. In 1925 the total ex
penditures reached $33,000,000. In
1900 the average length of school
term was 73 days. In 1925 it was 141
days. In 1900 there were 35 schools
in North Carolina. Today there are
a total number of 600. Twenty-five
years ago 34 per cent, of children at
tended school. In 1926, 83 per cent,
are students. Five hundred thousand
go every day. The Democratic pur
l>ose is “universal education.’ ”
Morally, the great lawyer pointed
out, the Stonewall Jackson Training
School stands as an illustration of
Democratic government. The boys
sent there secure an education, learn
a trade, restored to good standing and
adorn society. Physically the ortho
pedic hospital at Gastorra is enrried
through state expenses.
The good roads of North Carolina
are advertised all over the Union.
These roads are maintained by a tax
so just that neither Democrat nor Re
publican cun complain; tax on au
tomobiles and a levy on gasoline.
Mr. Hoey showed how this tax that
up keeps the good roads saves more
than the time lost on shabby h:gh
ways, to say nothing of the wear and
tear of the automobile.
With a Disraeli gesture, the states
man concluded his speech, by assert
ing that the men who soared in the
nir, went down into water, crawled
in muck and mire and lay in the
trenches during the great European
struggle did it all for a common cause
—that men in other countries could
be free to save the loved ones back In
our dear United States from monnreh
ial government as was then prevalent
in European countries.
“We won because we stood for Un
iversal peace, yet we are now in a
position like unto that of the man in
the Biblical parable who was plowing
in the field but turned bark. .God has
led us to the summit, but now we art
headed by a few men who turn back—
refusing to enter the World Court and
be assured of peace. We must enter—
We trill enter!”

Mr. Hoey expressed the opinion that
a landslide for his parly will be evi
denced November 2nd. “A complete
smother.” Is the way he put it.
The Kannapolis band, prize winner
of North Carolina, a band that has
played for Governor McLean and in
numerable other personages, seemed to
have caught the “old spirit” last
night.. Anyway the “footers” were
hitting on all six and then some.
“Johnson J. Hayes Is a clean man”
Mr. Hoey declared, “and should be a
democrat.” That statement put the
audience in an uproar.
Taking issue with Hayes, who stat
ed that protection was the only Issue
on which the two parties differed. Mr.
Hoey declared that wanting to get a
few men jobs was the main republi

It was a pleasure to have an oppor

QUEEN DOESN’T WANT
’ffO GET IN PICTURES
However, She Will Visit Doug and
Mary at Hollywood Studios.
Paris, Oet. !).— UP) —Queen Marie
has given notice that she must not
be filmed ill the United States, even
in ’lier daily routings and goings. But
she will see the inside workings of
the cinema world nt Hollywood as
the guest of Dougins Fairbanks and
Mary Piekford.
She made this statement to the
Marquies de Fleurs, literary editor
of the Le Figaro. When he told her
of an offer of $25,000 for her to pose
one days us Queen ol Tolstoy's "Resur
rection", she smiled and said ”1
might, perhaps, have secured a better
engagement than that.”
“I am looking forward joyfully to
seeing the great cities of the cinema
fso « Angeles and Hollywood. ( Douglas
Fairbanks and hfs fiffe, Msry. Phtkr
ford, have promised to show me all
the inner workings of that yonng and
prodigious industry so near to being
an art."
As to appearing before the screen
jjkerß&f, she said:
*4 "The idea is quit* funny, but un
fortunately it is'uiitrue. In any
case you may be siire I would choose
some other character. It wouldn’t
amuse me nt all to play the queefi in
a film. Besides, is there a queen in
the Resurrection? Ido not think so.
I- should perliai>s have displeased the
shade of Tolstoy, which would not
have been nice of me. I respect
great writers, whatever their ideas
may be.”

(By International News Service)
Memphis. Tenn., Oi-t. 9.—Conde
Corley. "Romantic bandit.” goes on
trial ill First rriinininai court here

end bus it was buried more than two
centuries ago by pirate Black Beard I
on what is now the property here of
Miss Florence Steward, of Trenton. :

bones may be those of the Spaniard
that Blabkbeard was supiHised to have

the vicinity of the “old pirate tree”
scores of other children and young
men prepared to join the hunt. Miss
Steward asked the police to guard her
proiierty while she can superintened

Legend has it that Edward Teach, a
notorious pirate known as Black
Beard, pursued by the galleys of Phil

banks of the I>elnwnre with his chests
of gold. The ancient black walnut tree
under whieh that treasure was sup
posed to have been buried long since

in 1801.
