Raleigh, Oct. 19. Raleigh is filling up rapidly today with the thousands of visi tors from all over North Car olina attending the State Fair, which was formally opened at rioon today. With good weather prevailing, the attendance this year may equal the record breaking crowds of last year, when all the farmers of every special crop was swelling with af fluence and a-feeling of his oats mightily. , , The farmers have not received such prices for cotton and tobacco as last year and probably never will again but they nearly all have their last year's Kittie Fords and they can come to the State Fair in their ma chines at little expense, even if they do not have much money to blow in and have almost as good a time. The exhibits, races and attractions, are above the average and the great reunion of Tarheel folks on Wednes day and Thursday of every fair week bids fair to measure up to the aver age. It is the "reunion" that is en joyed by many more than any other feature of the State Fair. Word received here from Charlotte is to the effect that Mr. Morrison will probably resume his campaign toui next Wednesday, October 20, filling his appointments at Wilmington and elsewhere in tlhe east. The prospec tive governor has been through great strain, with two primaries and the state campaign. But: his general health is good, the trouble being with his throat, which, of course, inter feres. WtHs'0-of afieaJsexSfcJ riouslyv It was with difficulty that his physicians forced him to take a few days of rest, for he is a tireless worker and the western people were calling for him at as many places where Ihe-was not booked as at his regular appointments. He filled as many of these as he could and conse quently overworked his voice, espec ially. The people of North Carolina will receive gratefully the assurance that he is not and has not-been seri ously ill. - Lieut. Gov. Max Gardner spoke in Raleigh last night and received a warm welcome. The manner in which Mr. Gardner has conducted himself since his defeat in the second pri mary has madeliim many new friends and won the admiration of (his old friends who supported him in the race.

LATE At the Georgia experiment station they undertook to determine the ef fect on the gross yield, per acre of cotton, of picking promptly after it opened, as compared with delayed picking. They used three varieties. In their prompt pickings, they went over twice. October 1 and Novem ber 1. Delayed pickings were Janu ary 21. ' Let's say they took four rows of a variety and picked them over on Oct. 1, and again Nov. 1. The neck four of same variety, at equal chance, they picked only once, Jan uary 21. Results were: Boykin,, Oct. 1 and Nov. 1, total, 1,118; Jan. 21,, 998. Express, Oct. 1 and Nov". 1, total, 1,606 ; Jan. 21 1,379. Trice, Oct. 1 and Nov. 1, total, 1,326 ; Jan. 21, 1,224. This is not a variety test. Likely, did not all grow in the same field. 'Twas all sold at even chance, and gross 'returns were : Boykin, prompt picking, $152 per acre; delayed, $106, Express, prompt picking,: $193; de- laed, $112; Trice, prompt picking, $165; delaye-d; $121.: : Can a man afford to grow cotton and leave it in the field to waste and damage, then gin and leave it o rot? How long will sensible men continue such folly? Zeho Moore. MEMBERSHIP GAIN, ' FEWER CHURCHES St Louis, Oct. 49.

Eighteen hundred and jiinetyone delegates to the third Internationale at Baku, A erbaidjan, have disbanded after tak ing solemn oath upon a naked sword to work night and day to overthrow "capitalism," a they term the pre ent governments, of the world, it was announced officially at the State De partment. Zinovieff, president of the Potro- grad Soviet, is regarded as responsi ble for the program. He was quoted at Halle,; Germany as having stated that the United States will be includ ed in the movement. Three dele gates from this country were present at the Baku meetings. The present advance of the Soviet troops through Armenia is r yarded here Hia part of the program. As u result the United States has already reinforced its ' squadron based upon Baku, in the Black Sea. It was: stated that six more de stroyers -the Sturtevant, McFarland Childs, Reuben James, iSands and the WiHiamspi will join the force now abroad ai soon as they can be made ready forces.

V UNIVERSITY SPACE Chapel Hill, Oct. 19. A story of overcrowded and almost , impossible living conditions at tihe University of North Carolina and of pressing needs to handle the present students and those coming in the future has been unfolded by President H. W. Chase in a preliminary survey of the university. "With dormitories built to accom modate 469 students and. actually housing 738, not counting students in private rooms; with a dining hall for 450 actually feeding 725; witi'i only 19 class rooms available, not counting the professional and scien tific buildings which cannot be used for other purposes; and with the fac ulty teaching all the students it can teach, the present situation is one that cannot possibly last," says Pres ident Chase. As immediate relief, says the pres ident, the university must quadruple its dormitory space, quadruple its feeding arrangements, treble teach ing and office space, more than double its faculty and office force, and in crease its salaries in accordance with standards at other institutions. Registration figures show that in 1879 when the university re-opened after the civil war, it had 171 stu dents. Eleven years later, in 1890, it had 200i Another 10 years and it had 521 in 1900. Another 10 years and it had 821 in 1910. Another 10 years and it had 1,406 in 1920. Fig uring on the number of high school graduates, which from (the four-year schools has jumped 400 per cent in the past five years, President Chase can see no place where the university or any other college in the state can take 'care of them.

PRESIDENT HAWES T Washington, Oct. 19. Reduction of federal taxes, cooperation of the bankers in solving the problems of the railroads and economy in govern ment' and private expenditures were ged, ift the annual report of Richard S. Hawes, president of the American Bankers Association, which was pre - sented today at the opening session of the association's 46th convention. Other recommendations made by Mr. Hawes- were that the Transporta tion Act be amended so that bankers and business men could become di rectors of railroads, that agriculture and foreign trade be encouraged and that steps be taken to relieve present industrial unrest. . Taking up the tax question, Mr, Hawes said the need was not only for a reduction of federal taxes, but also for a most careful supervision of the expenditures of the proceeds of the taxes; "A; slogan recently coined," said Mr. Hawes, "is appealing; 'More' bus iness in government; less government in business'." Mr. Hawes declared that "no tax itself should interfere with the accu mulation of wealth, or the develop ment of the Industrial life of the na tion. Any tax system which discour ages savings, which discounts accu mulation of capital, is to be deplored, for-all capital is used and enjoyed primarily by society at large and not particularly by the one in whose le gal title'its ownership rests."

ICEIMS BANKERS EPOR LINCOLN, INTERNATIONAL SPY, TURNS TRAITOR TO BAUER BY REVEALING GERMAN AND RUSSIAN PLANS TO NEW "WHITE" FACTION. Berlin, Oct. 19; A stir has been caused in the inner cir cles of the Russian counter revolutionary groups who lean toward Germany rather than France by the alleged discovery that Ignatius Lin coln, famed as the "interna tional spy," and who played a prominent part in the Kapp revolution in March, disclos ed their secret plans to France. Among the secrets is said to have been the strategic plan drawn up by Colonel Bauer, who was Kapp'a chief of staff, for a combined Russian, Ger man and Hungarian operation in the spring to overthrow the Bolsheviki. If successful, the operation was to have been followed by a grouping of the three powers against the treaty of Versailles economically and politic ally. Lincoln was Colonel Bauer's confi dential agent in the Kapp coup. It is said now that he is the confidential agent of the new movement. The movement against the Soviet regime is in two parts one, General Wrangel and the pro-French infla ences, the other the anti-Bolshevists wfto are allied with the German anti- Bolshevists. The group that is inclined toward France favors a new "white" and preferably monarchist Russia as an ally of France against Germany. The other group can see Russian success only if that country is allied with Germany. This professes to be the aim of the Federated United . States of Russia. Colonel Bauer, lit was alleged, was in, coirnectin, wicertain Budapest and Vienna circles and had evolved a scheme and organization for a "restoration" of Russia to be favor able to Germany. Lincoln was credited with being the initiator of many of the phases of the plan. He was very active In Buda pest. Being a Hungarian Jew before he transformed himself into a Pres byterian minister in Canada and later a member of the British House of Commons, Lincoln resented the atti tude toward (him in Budapest and went to Vienna, where, ha is said to have assisted in organizing the mon archists movement. One of the Russian anti-Bolshevist leaders asserts that surveillance re vealed that Lincoln was in contact with the French, and when his de mands for money were no longer met Uie openly went into the French camp. He is now in Paris. LUTHERAN CHURCH EXTENDS SUFFRAGE Washington, Oct. 19. Over five hundred delegates are here in attend ance 6ft the biennial convention of the United Lutheran Chnrch of Am erica.

PRELUDE TO OVERTHROW Berlin, Oct. 19. The former German Emperor William conn dently expected to emerge victo riously from the world war and then marshal kis continental ar mies against England in what ha termed "the second Punic war," says Matkias Ersberger, in his volume of war recollections just published at Stuttgart. .The Em peror evidently used, the term of "Punic war" in the sense of a conflict for world supremacy be tween two great stations. Erzberger, who was formerly min ister of finances, but now has tempo rarily retired from public political activities, set forth in detail the meeting between the then Emperor William and the Reichstag leaders, after the fall of Chancellor Bethman Hollweg, and following the adoption of the peace resolution in July 1C17. He says the Emperor became en thusiastic over the phrase "peace or compromise," whidh he assumed was what the Reichstag majority wanted. "Excellent word 'compromise,'" William stated. "It means," he said, "that we take the money, raw prod ucts, cotton, oil and ores out of the pockets of our enemies and transfer them to our own." The parliamentary leaders Herr Erzberger says, were astonished by this unexpected display of imperial mentality and felt that they were be ing made the victims of his mockery. The Emperor's further remarsk were in the same channel, he declares. William asserted that the United States and England had entered int'k an alliance for the .purpose of reck oning wlttTapan after th wM.He'" was also reliably informed that Rus sia would join Japan in warding off the Anglo-Saxin blow. He admitted that England would not emerge from the war defeated, but said the final accounting would come when he led his continental armies against her in "the second .Punic war." The amazement of the parliamen tarians grew as the Kaiser, continued Erzberger's reports. The monarch asserted that "a complete understand ing would be reached with France when the war was over." Referring to a battle in Galicia, whidh occurred only a few days pre vious, the Kaiser claimed that the Prussian guard under the command of his son Fritz had "brushed the democratic dust off the vests of the Russians." "Wherever the Guards appear there is no longer any democracy left," he exclaimed. The Rumanians got their just des erts, the warlord told Erzberger when the latter suggested that the poor Ru manians had probably lost everything but their shirts. Erzberger adds , that the whole meeting between the Kaiser and the parliamentary leaders was not only a grave misfortune, but it proved "the deepest cut with the spade that ulti mately resulted in the overthrow of the prevailing regime." He concludes the chapter with the statement that the Reichstag veter ans who up to that time were opposed to the parliamentary system, that very night openly avowed tha the old system would inevitably plunge Ger many into disaster.
