j .
Rakish, Aug. 12.?Chief interest is
the senate today center around the
bill authorizing the state highway
commission to increase the .salary of
Chairman Frank Page and the bill
prohibiting the destruction of flow
ers and woods and shrubbery within
100 yards*of the public highways of
the state by any person not on their
own land.
When the bill authorizing the in
crease of thc^ highway officials was
reported recommended to pass by. the
committee Senator Brown of Colum
bus objected on the grounds that the
bill did not set any limit to the
amount thatv might be added to the [
salaries of the officials. He said be
was in favor ff tit* bill with that ex
ception. His objection met with ap
proval all over the senate chamber.
Senator Ebbs who introduced the
bill then 'stated that he had recog^
sized that defect in the bill but was
at a loss as to how it should be cor
rected^ for he said he felt that it warn
a difficult matter ito set the proper
salary to which Mr., Page was enti
tled as he had done so much for the
state and had saved the state so many
thousand^ of dollars. _ ... >
On the other hand he said if a
maximum range be set the commis
sion should take -that as the amount
that the seaate expected to pay'and
make that amount the iimwum. He
added that this hill wMtstrodueed in
the complete ignorance of Mr. Page.

New York, Aug. 14,?Secretary of
State Hughes returning today on the
President Harding after a month's
visit to Europe, expressed belief that
the Dawes reparations report would
be accepted by all powers concerned
and would be put into effect very
aeon.
Mr. Huges said that in his opihioh
the acceptance of the Dawes plan did
net hinge upon the date of the eve<01

ed today to have caused a split in the
German and French representatives
at the London conference.

Nitiooal tod Stite Leaders In
Co-Operative j Marketing
Make Addresses
Greenville, Aug. 11.?National and
state leaden of the co-operative mar
keting- movement were greeted here
today 'by the largest gathering . of
tobacco farmers that has ever met in
Greenville under the auspices of the
Tobacco Growers Co-operative asso
ciation. t. ?
Fully two thousand growers in
cluding their families welcomed Wal
ton Peteet, secretary of the National
Council of Co-opeibtive Marketing as
sociations, Samuel B. Guard, director
of the Sean Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation and Miss Elizabeth Kelly,
of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative
Association. At today's mass meet
ing in the Greenville fair grounds.
This proved to be the most enthusias
tic demonstration in favor of co-oper
ative marketing ever held by farm
ers of Pitt County in this city, accord
ing to co-operative leaders.
Director Samuel R. Guard of the
Sears Roebuck Foundation, told the
Pitt county farmers that his own ex
perience in raising five acres of bur
ley tobacco converted mm to co-oper
ative marketing and that he has
fought for it eVer since his receipts.
of 4<f cents a pound for that tobacco
in 1919 were followed in 1920 by an
Average of three cents a pound for to
bacco from the same five acres.
I Mr. Guard described the benefits
of co-operative marketing as he him
ariflud seen them among the cotton
growers of Texas, the wheat growers
of the northwest* the melon growers;
of Georgia and the barley tobaceo
growers of Kentucky. He predicted
that within a decade farmers will rise
in their might and gain by their co
operative marketing associations all
the advantages which organization
tite farmers to organise the market
ing of their products axe now patting
millions of dollars into their effort
to block and thwart this movement
He made a special appeal to North
Carolina farmers to hold their sector
in what he termed the battle line of
American farmers stretching from
state to state across.the continent
Mr. Feteet compared the strength
of co-operative marketing to the
strength of American democracy and
predicted that its advance would be
as irresistible as the advance of the
American armies against the forces of
autocracy la the World War.
' Miss Elizabeth Xelly was applauded
*wfeen she tailed upon the women of
Eastern North Carolina to stand four
square fdr co-operative marketing as
the system which would insure the
future of their homes and children.
*Horees are getting scarcer every
|?Kr and a runaway in Farmville re-,
dbftiy was such an unusual event as
to get[ a hand-set headline.

Mr. Lewis , stated that farmers'
clubs over the gtate could well act as
agencies for. determining the* money
crops to be grown in certain sections,
to help correct economic ills in pro
duction and to sponsor the marketings
of farm produce.
"Good farming practice," he said,
"leads successful farmers to not at
tempt too many money crops but to
limit these, say, to threes-two major
crops and one smaller one?and th$n
such farmers will become snore effi
cient and will mom nearly succeed
with those."

dge will depart from his already pre
rared and given out speech of accep
ance of the republican nomination
or president, and attempt ot make
i reply to the fearful lashing which
rohn W. Davis gave the republicans
ind the republican party record in his
cceptance address at Ciarksburg. The
najor opinion expressed is -that Cool
dge will keep mum and for the rea
on that he can't answer the caustic
riticism of John W. Davis.
. '
The reaction here to the acceptance
peech of the democratic nominee for
?resident is clearly in favor of Mr.
)avis on the part of democrats and
nen of independent tendencies and
hinking. Republicans tied up in .he
neshes of their party either decline
o talk about the Davis declarations
ir attempt to brush them aside by
aying that what he- said last night
pas "old stuff," that the people were
ired about hearing of the misdoings
?f Forbes and Fall, and Daugherty,
hat they had enough of the oil scan
ials and the Daugherty mess and the
?'orbes'grab-off at the veterans bu
eau. But unden their skins the re
?ublicans are feeling the effects of
he lash so mercilessly applied by Mr.
)avis. That the promise is that there
s more to come, that this will be no j
kid glove" campaign, that "treat
sm rough" is the Davis purpose with

rds, gives, them much disconcert ft I
