L. Tomlinson, one of Wilson's popular and prominent young business men. Tils came as quite a surprise to themany friends and even the relatives of the young people, as there had ben no invita tions issued and no announcement made. No one was present to wit ness the ceremony except thefather and mother of thebride and her lit tle friend Miss Mary Annna Daniel, hr brother being stationed at Char- ; leston, in the United States Navy The vows were read at nine o'clock by Rev.

This visit found things in better shape, the temporary arrangements having satisfied conditions for the time being and the more active use of the carts since helping out mat ters. It was decided to continue the can method of removing sewage, but to see to it that more carts are kept running. In connection with this statement however it is well to note that of the two wagons running that one of the drivers went off on a trip and has not returned, and therefore there was only one wagon running today.

Six billion dollars tis the minimum anioun amount which the people of the United States are asked to subscribe for the Fourth Liberty Loan, accord ing to an announcement by Win- G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, in a stirring address here last night outlining the government's plan !St the campaign, which starts Satur day. The share allotted to New York Federal Reserve District is $1,800, 000,000 of 30 per cent of the great est loan yet offered. The loan, which will bear 4 1-4 per cent interest, will run for 20 years, maturing Oc tober 15, 1938, unless the govern ment should exercise its reserved right to redeem the bonds on or af ter October 15, 1933. Asserting that, without this vast sum, "we cannot lick the Kaiser," theSecretary made a special appeal for the subscriptions of corporations and wealthy individuals, as returns from the Third Liberty Loan indi cated that wealthy corporations and persons of large means had not re sponded "commensurately with their abilities to help." He pointed out that of the 18,000,000 Americans who subscribed for the last loan, only 22,500, including corporations, bought bonds in excess of $10,00. "It will be preposterous," he said, "to say that there are only 22,500 men, women and corporations i n America able to lead more than $10,000 each to their government in liberty bonds." Mr. McAdoo also condemned the practice of "swindlers and unscru pulous and unpatriotic people who, contrary to the urgent request of the Treasury Department, had in duced holders of Liberty Bonds to exchange them for stocks or invest ments of doubtful value." He point ed out that these operations forced the Treasury to buy thebonds thir thrown upon the market, in ord'.-r to protect the market and the credit of the government. Applauded by a crowd whiih fill ed Carnegie Hall, .Mr. McAdoo sail in part: "The Treasury of the United States asks the American people to subscribe to the Fourth Libcr-y Loun $6,000 000,$$$. This monev is needed to carry on the war. We cannot lick the Kaiser without .t. cannot restore peace to the world and re-establish liberty and damcr racy without it. "The huge amounts expended by America in this war are not wholly used for destructive purposes. Crest sums are used for constructive wo-K which will be of permanent valu.j to the American people." The great merchant marine whioh he said, on completion, will bj thy largest, most efficient and m idem merchant fleeet in the world, wa cited as one constructive usd to which Liberty Loan money w'.il Uc put. "For the fiscal year 1919,' ji said, '"it is probable that $S,u0G. 000.000 to $9,000 000.000 will rep resent loans to the allied goem ments and expenditures for ship.', shipyards, docks, wharves and o'.her facilities which will ba salvage! to the American people." "Asserting that "everybody shoul i buy bonds" Mr. McAdoo continued: "Wages and salaries are hiucr io America today than ever before in its history. Every dollar saved npw and invested in Liberty Bonds will be worth much more when pence comes again. "I was asked not long ago what arguments could be made for ifce Fourth Liberty Loan. I replied im mediately "Pershing and our heroes in France. No other argument is necessary. "Who is not thrilled by what Per shing and his glorious men have done already upon the field of bat tle? These untrained freemen of democracy have met the veteran V ( Washington, Sept. 25. Senators Simmons and Overman aro of the opinion that the price-lixing figure for cotton should not be less than 35 cents a pound. Scores of tele grams yesterday from North Caroli na favored that figure as a minimum bas:s, while quite a few cotton grow ers named 40 cents as a fair price. Senator Simmons yesterday ex pressed himself as being earnestly opposed to thefixing of the price of cotton but if such is the program he thinks that the price should be nam ed without undue delay. He thinks the atmosphere should be clarified. That 35 cents is the only fair price seems quite clear to the senior Sen ator. Many telegrams to him from the State yesterday indicated that should the price be under 35 cents that the Fourth Liberty Loan cam paign would beseriously hampered. Farmers were of the opinion that they could not meet their financial obligations when it cost so much to produce cotton. Protesting Against Price Fixing Protests against the government fix ing basic prices for standard grades of raw cotton marked the beginning yesterday of the deliberations of the ne committee named to investigate the cotton situation. A delegation of the cotton States official advistory marketing com mittee late yesterday after conferr ing at the Capitol with Senator Smith, of South Carolina, and his associates from the cotton States. J. J. Brown, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture, headed the delegation and voiced what he termed the pro test of the farmers against the price fixing. Mr. Brown is president of the Advisory Marketing committee, which is Agriculture of the cotton States, directors of the cotton States marketing bureaus and the presi dent of the farmers' unions of those states. He said his organization be lieved thenew law of supply and de uiund should govern prices, v While willing to submit to any act of the government as a war meas ure, Mr. Brown said he did not be lieve such drastic action as price lixing is necessary. The wisdom of the appointment of the cotton dis tribution commltes, empowered to buy cotton for the government and the allies and to allocate it as to qualify and grade to all domestic and foreigii consumers, was ques tioned by Mr. Brown and the other delegates.
