This was the unanimous opinion of members of the statewide cotton finance committee and warehouse committee, appointed by Governor A. W. McLean to study the cotton situation, and who met in joint ses sion here yesterday to go farther in to the situation. And they went into it exhaustively, with the result that immediate steps are to be taken toward organising a statewide, uni form plan for reduction of cotton: acreage next year. At first, there was some discussion as to whether the question of a acreage reduction should be taken up now. or let go over for a while yet. to iierinit the effort being made to remove exeiss cotton from the mar ket to get under way. In opening the session. Governor McLean called attention to the fact that the thing cf primary importance was to get the machinery in motion to finance and store cotton already produced, and that this hail been virtually com p’eted with the formation of t In- North Carolina Cotton Finance Cor poration. whoac organisation was completed in Greensboro on Wednes day.

The Governor then asked the committee if It. deemed it wise now to go forward immediately with formulations plaim for crop mtuc tion- Ami after brief (Uscucßion, it was decided that the Governor be urged to call a conference as soon as pos sible of all those interested in cotton from any angle whatever, and that at this conference, some definite and uniform plan be adopted for acreage production, and at the Conclusion of the session a resolution was adopted to thi: effect. A second resolution Was also adopted asking that the North Carolina Bankers Association arrange to hold its ten district con ferences as soon after the meeting cnlled by the Governor as possible, in which the plans promulgated in the crop reduction conference will 'by explained, and the bankers, meo ehants - and farmers urged to use all their influence to put them into ef fect. A third resolution was also adopt ed asking the railroads to extend their “storage in transit” rates for 24 months instead of 12. as at pres ent. Following the session of more than three hours, during which every phase of the present cotton situation was gone into exhaustively, mem bers of the two committee departed in an optimistic frame of mind, and of the opinion that not only hail much been anccomplishcd to relieve the immediate cotton situation, by providing adequate means of fi nanneing and warehousing, to relieve the market if the present surplus, but that effective mneahinery ligd been set in motion looking toward CONCORD,N.

Following tile opening of the sek-, jsion by Governor Mels-an, in which | (he briefly stalrd what had been dorte j ialready and asked for advice aS toi jwhai er.urso to continue, the meeting I was turnod over to .1. VY. 'Simpson. Cwons-Wro. chairman of finance com mittee. Mr. Simplon briefly outlined the steps incident to the formation of the miliio.-i dollar Cotton Finance | Corporation, through whk-h indi vidual farmer... banks and‘ merchants may secure loans of from nine {months to three years on cotton : properly store-1 in Warehouses. , j It. was explained that in order to I reduce the cost of doing and in order to ennb'e as many Is : possible, (specially individual' fa rip jers t.i lake advantage of-the services of the .corporation, the him kit -over the stale are to he asked to serve mcre'y as agents for the corporation in making loans 1 , charging nothin-; for this serviis-. and wit bout dis counting the note.-. Thus farmers may arrange )r.aiis either through their own local banks, at no added e«vt. nr they may deal directly with the Cotton Finance Coriio ration, through Its Greensboro office;, as the individual farmers prefer. In order to faeilitale the handling of these notiv. the board of directors of the Federal Intermediate Batiks is to be anked to amend its ru’ea, per mitting the discounting of nates direct from, the small country bunks, without the necessity of going through the Finance Corporation, and to assist the smoother and fasteri functioning of this corporation la hand ing it« loans, inasmuch as the bulk of the capital to be used must be obtained from the Intermediate banks.. That these rules can be changed at once without much trou ble was almost certain, according I>| M. L. Corey, formerly a member dt the beard, and at whose suggestion if was decided to seek a revision of ta. rules. l|lr. Corey is now one of the three receivers of the old Tobacco Co-operative association, and has a thorough knowledge of the workings of the Federal Intermediate Banks. As outlined by Simpson, the fol lqwing procedure is necessary in or der to secure loans on cotton from the corporation: First, the applicant for a loan 1 must present bis warehouse receipts, showing the amount of cotton in storage in a bonded or state super vised ware house. The receipts must show the grade of the cotton. Ts the receipts arc approved, he can borrow up to 75 per cent of *4ie -value of the ootton at current BWr ket quotation's u t. the time, the' rfiru Is negotiated. The rate is six v per cent, and the time not leas than nine months .nor more than three years. The cotton so stored cannot be withdrawn and sold by the owner until t)ie price has advanced to 15 I cents a pound or higher. If prices fall bflpw 15 cents, no more of the ( stored cotton can lie sold, i Whether or not the notes will ls-ar interest from tiie date of issuance, Until the cotton is sold, or whether they will be discounted when made, ami a rebate granted if paid before maturity, has not .vet been determin ed. and will be taken up later by the board of directors and the Inter | mediate Credit Banks. An effort will , be made, however, to have them bear ; intercut from date of issuance to : date of sale and settlement. You Will Like Concord Better — when you help it grow.

DRIVE TO PMT i MING OF VH HAS BEEN STARTED Senator Norris Says He Will Fight the New Sen-, ator When the Senate Is Convened. C HARGES CORRUPT ELECTION IS SEEN' In Some Precincts Wilson Not Credited With Sin gle Vote—Many Charges Are Lodged. Washington, Nov. 5.— (A 3 )—The j drive against seating William S. Vare. Republican, ns the junior senator from Pennsylvania in the seventieth Congress lias opened. Senator Norris. Republican, Nebras ka, who spoke in Pennsylvania oil lie half of William 11. Wilson, the Demo cratic senatorial candidate, because of alleged excessive campaign expendi tures by the Republicans, declared here that Senator Vure, ali.iough tech nically elected, lias been repudiated by the “honest patriotic |ieopte of the state" and that the Philadelphia "ma chine" had functioned as usual, the results in some precincts having been announced before any votes were cast. Meanwhile the committee of seven ty. an unofficial body in Philadelphia, was preparing to make an investiga tion in a number of Philadelphia pre cincts where Mr. Wilson was uot cred ited with having a single vote. Mem bers of the committee attached much importance to official returns which credit Wilson with no votes in forty four divisions in that city, and with only one vote in each of a number of other divisions. Discussion of the Pennsylvania sit uation is expected to be renewed here Wednesday when the Senate recon venes as a court of impeachment to try George W. English, federal judge for the eastern district of Illinois, on charges of usurpation of power and other high misdemeanors. In view of Judge English’s resignation yester day and tlie decision of the House managers to recommend that the pro ceedings be dropped it is- believed that the Senate session will be only per functory. tmd scattered returns over night failed to change the party line up in the seventieth House, which re mains; Republicans, 230; Democrats. 195; Farmer-Labor, 2; 'Socialist, 1■; undecided 1. A total of '2lB -s nec essary for a majority. The Senate of the seventieth Congress will show 47 Republicans, 47 Democrats and one Farmer-Labor, with one vacancy from Maine to be filled by a special j election on November 20th Senator Norris, declaring that the | “country should be told the truth | about Pennsylvania," asserted that it I is apparent that no, honest election was held and that the results were an impossibility except through “fraudu lent manipulation." Mr. Vare, Senator Norris added, “ran several hundred thousand votes behind thy Republican ticket, and out side the city of Philadelphia where the Vare machine is supreme, Mr. Vare was defeated by 50,000 major ity.” Illustrating what he designated the “methods followed by this maehine, he said "in 76 voting precincts in Philadelphia casting in round num bers 17,000 votes Sir.

DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE STATE OVER 80.000 Dear crat- Delighted With the Out come of the Election Tuesday. Tribune Bureau | Sir Walter Hotel j Ralcigo. Nov. s.—With a majority ranging from 85,000 upwards, ntul a larger proportionate majority than ev er before recorded in an off-year elec- j linn, Democratic lenders arc delight ed wif.i the outcome of the election and arc unstinted in their praise of the manner in which the campaign has been conducted by John G. Dawson, chairman of the State. Democratic committee, and his able assistants. 1 All agree that the campaign was ably planned and conducted on a high plane, and that credit for much of t'.ie hard work in connection with it must j go to John Dawson, although he char acteristically gives all the credit to his corps of able helpers. “One of the most potent factors in i the campaign was not the work of any I one person or group of persons, but! the able assistance given by tlie news- j papers of the state." Mr. Dawson de- i dared, in discussing the campaign.! "And I do not mean to the Democratic i party alone, but to both parties. Nev er before has the press of the state as a whole been more liberal in giv ing its valuable news space to clear and unbiased reports of the campaign and the principles involved, than in this one. By means of this excel lent sereiee by means of which t'.ie view of both sides were presented and discussed, the people were better ena bled to judge what the real issues were and make up their minds ac cordingly. And the outcome of tlie election shows that they did just this thing. Without the splendid co operation of I'ae newspapers of the i state, we would not have been able to accomplish nearly as mnch as we did.” So fas Democratic headquarters con cedes but twelve counties wholly to the Republicans, declining to either concede or claim Catawba copnty. where the fight was ..so close as to make it still in doubt, f These twelve counties are: Avery. Clay. hara, Madison. Maeotr,''Mitchell, .Tack son, Stokes, Wilkes. Yadkin and Hen derson. It was pointed out that the loss of Macon and Jackson counties to too Republican ranks was not so serious as might be thought, inasmuch as these two counties have been considered as virtually Republican, although they have for the most part gone Demo cratic since 1918 but by very small margins. Stokes county went Re publican by a majority of little more than fifty votes, and Wilkes county, the home county of Johnston J. Hayes, was able to roll up a Repub lican majority of only about I.QOO votes. These losses are more toan offset by tlie bringing of Watauga, Johns ton, Sampson, Randolph and several other supposedly Republican counties back into' the Democratic fold. Wa tauga county ha'd not returned a Dem ocratic majority for 24 years, and Sampson county had been believed to be safely in the Republican ranks for the last thirty years. Randolph coun ty fell into the hands of the Republi cans eighteen luontos ago. ami it was feared for awhile that it might J)e hard to reclaim it. But general dis satisfaction with the manner in which the affairs of the county have been managed for .the past eighteen months brought about a revolt and a Demo cratic victory. Johnston county was similar to Randolph, but the Demo cratic landslide there came ns a sur prise to many Democrats although it was pretty well known that it would revolt from Republican rule, Rutherglen, a busy community near Glasgow, recently celebrated its eight hundredth birthday. It is said to have received its charter as a royal burgh from David I. in 1126. THE TRIBUNE PRINTS ! TODAY’S NEWS TODAY NO. 262 . STATE IN MURDER ! TRIAL IN HOSPITAL! Mrs. Jane Gibson Said to !
