In Made Head jpf Cotton Unit; Man- nfactuiars Axe Ajgainst Any v Prdce«sl^ Tax on Cotton. The desire of manufacturers, cot ton farmers, bankers, ■ and govem- ■ ment agenides to get. at the sdlutioh of the cotton problem, were broi^t out at a meeting of approximately ■300 persons held at the Charlotte hotel last Friday. ■ ‘ The conference was the last of a series held throughout the cotton pro ducing states by, the east central'di vision of the Agricultural Adjustment administration. In these meetings the purpose has been thoroughly to dis- ^ou^ every phase of the cotton prob- jem—whether it pertains to-the farm er or the manufacturer—rand to get as many ideas as possible toward the best way to go about solving the numerous problems « this important southern industry. A number of ideas on cotton were expressed. Mr. Mann described it as a “very sick patient” and the pro posals made toward making the pa tient well included one that every farmer who reduced his acreage by a certain percentage over a period of years should be givenra milk cow. Thomas Cornwall of Shelby, a member of the North Carolina AAA, presided. ' In his discussion of the general cotton situation, Mr. Dugan pointed out that until alternative means for cash income are developed,, the farm er must be reiipbursed for any fur ther reduction from present acreage allotments if he is to/ipaintain "is|p present income. He excdained t^|ir the increase in domestic consumptiblf will not make up for thC loss of ex port markets and declared that plans must be made to take ^yhatevo- steps are necesi»ry to regain these mar kets when the world is more normal. He said that 22 of the 25 foreign countries whicli normally took from 30 to 40 cent of the Amei^icap. cotton exportsare: now in the orbit or effectivd^ blockaded. was re-elected cbairmai/bf the-lifortii Carohna-Virgihia unit of the National Cotton Council. * ' R.

' Some 409 miles of the 6,900 volt line h£^ been staked put of a tnfai o f484 miles of ttie “A” project and it is expected that the engineering and survey work of this project wm be completed by the first of February. 150 miles of poles have been set and over 60 miles of wire strung since the beginning of construction late last faU. Applications for the "B” project of the‘Cooperative were eicpected to be sufficient for approval of approx imately 250 miles of additippal con struction, it was deemed by the board of directors at a meeting this week. The directors vdted to close the pro ject and prepare an application for its approval by the Rural Electrifi cation Authority in Washington. It was voted also to continue to re ceive applications for service along the present lines and for new linps or taps to present facilities, but ft was decided to apply applications from new territory or sections to a “C” project which will be sent in for approval at a later date if there is sufficient demand for service. Mr. Dalton stated that the work the pr^ent construction being done by Day and Zimmerman, Tthc,^ electrical contractors of Philadelphia, was progressing rapidly. The three-phase line running out of Red Springs along the Robeson- Hoke rounty line into Allendale township near the hoipe of George Watson, a line of approximately 15 miles, would be ready to make hot in a few days and urged aU members to get their houses wired immed iately so that the current could be turned on. He stated that no power would be allowed on the line tmtil at least 76 per cent of the contracting members had wired their homes and were, ready for service. A second line nearing completion is. that running out of Red Springs through, the Antioch community to a point near Raeford and then into Cumberland county'and around Rock- fish and Arabia. It will be ready for energizing in about two' or three weeks if the weather permits the final work on the line. It is hoped, according to Supi Dalton, that the “B” project wjlUiaye approved by the Washington office in time for construction work on it to begin immediately upon coip- pletion of the first construction job. He stated that President Carl A. Al ford and the other directors studied the 1,000 applications on hand for the second project and that about two- thirds of , the proposed lines submitted probably had been sufficiently sign ed up to assure inclusion in the “B” project, which woffid probably a* mount to around 250 miles.

It is being built on the lot next to the old manse, now occupied by John Walker’s family. It faces Mag nolia Street but has an entrance on Campus avenue next to the church. It is to be built of hollow tile and brick as nearly like the brick usee in ttie dhurch as could be had. There will be five rooms on first floor, and three on second, all of it very mod ern, with heat, baths, etc. Great care was taken in selecting the exact location on the lot. By building on the end of lot nearest the churcli, the beautiful trees and shrub bery on the lot were sisured. What was the Fairley’s flower garden has been left almost intact which makes the manse and Walker lots more attractive.
