Farmers, Ginners To
Protest Gin Charge
Send Delegates To !
Memphis Meet
Will Be Unable To Pay Ginning
Priee Fixed Bv Code Meeting
Here Deride*
Cotton farmers and ginners cf
j Cleveland county are uniting to send
I delegates to Memphis. Tenn., Mon
| day to protest the ginning price
• fixed in the government agreement
j and code for the cotton industry
At a meeting held in the court
I house here Wednesday night farm
ers and ginners agreed that with
cotton selling at its present price
farmers would be unable to pay the
original ginning charge fixed by the
agreement which may bind the en
tire Cotton Belt of the South
This price was approximately $4.50
i ver bale with an additional charge
; for bagging At a later meeting
| held here by ginners of this county
.they agreed to gin cotton this year
for 25 cents per 100 pounds of seed
cotton with farmers paying 25 cents
per bale above actual cost for bag
ging. This would have resulted in
an average per bale ginning price
of around $4. At a later meeting
of Cleveland farmers, the farmer*
present expressed the opinion with
the price of cotton down they would
be unable to pay that price for
ginning and passed a resolution
asking ginners to gin for $3 per
; bale. Following this meeting the
| joint meeting of ginners and farm
! ers for Wednesday night was called
iuau,y * icacm
At Wednesday night's meeting a
| large group of farmers was present
j along with a representative number
! of county ginners. Numerous ta'ks
I were made by farmers who declared
; that they could not afford the blan
ket ginning price fixed in the cot
ton-belt agreement Ginners pres
ent concurred, it is said, in that
opinion and stated that if not pre
vented by the code and agreement
they would gin for the $3 per bale
cha~ge agreed upon by local farm
ers. But before they can do so the
general ginning agreement must be
changed or gins can be ordered to
close up by the government.
With this in view farmers and
| rinners present decided to send a
i delegation to Memphis. Monday at
which time the ginning feature of
the cotton code wkl be discussed.
News dispatches indicate that farm
ers and ginners from several States
will protest the first price picked
and the local delegation will join

“Serious” Winter For South Unless
Price Of Cotton Takes An Advance
Finds Relief Work On "Starva
tion” Basis. Not Enough For
Families.
Washington. Sept. 8.—Relief Ad
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins ap
pealed to the South this week to
discourage unemployment relief "on
a starvation basis.' and warned
that unless cotton prices soon rise
| Southern states would be faced
with a serious problem” this win
ter.
Hopkins said a recent airplane
trip through Southern territory re
vealed that the "whole picture
from top to bottom represents in
adequate relief.”
“In the South," he said, 'if we
could get a decent price for cotton,
our problem would be solved. ’
He indicated that anything under
| $10'per month for each family onj
j relief rolls was inadequate, and I
_
.
presented figures showing prac
tically every Southern state spend
ing less than that amount.
"We didn't intend that relief
money should be used on a starva
tion basis.” he said.
Relief administration f!gures
showed expenditures throughout
the country for relief last June
amounted to $66,107,779, compared j
with $59,000,000 in July. The num-1
ber of families receiving relief in,
June totaled 3,779.000. compared ■
with 3,464,000 in July
Hopkins said he thought the $500,-,
000,000 relief fund probably would!
last until next May. More than
$150,000,000 has been spent thus far
Hopkins told newspaper men that
-mall towns throughout the Soutn
were iust b; ginning to feel the ef
fects of the recovery administra
tion's reemployment drive, and said

Cleveland Will
Lose Lead For
Cotton Growing
-!
Cleveland county, for four or
five year* North Carolina'* lar
gest cotton-producing county,
will In all probability lose that
rating this year to Robeson
county.
In the acreage reduction cam
paign Cleveland farmers plowed
up over 14.000 acres, or consid
erably more than any other
county in the State. Further
more, cotton season in Eastern |
Carolina and the Robeson coun
ty section has been better
than in this county and as a re
sult the crop there will have a
far better per-acre production,
according to reports. Recent
visitors to the eastern section
of the State say that the cotton
crop there Is unusually fine and
that two or three large eastern
counties will likely make more
cotton this year than Cleveland.
Cotton Sags On
Crop Estimate
First Ii Goes Up Then Declines.
Estimate. Is Raised 100,000
Rales.
The census bureau of the govern
ment raised the estimate on the
1933 cotton crop today by 100,000
bales from the first estimate made
in August, but the market advanced
in spite of the increase in the fore
cast. However, near the close the
New York market was five points
below yesterday’s close: October
selling at 8 96 and Dec. at 9,16.
Today the bureau estimated the
1933 crop at 12,414,000 bales as
compared with an estimate of 11,
310.000 at the corresponding time a
year ago. However, the 1932 crop
turned out above thirteen million
bales, which added to the carry
over from previous years and the
generally bad business conditions,
caused the price to slump to around
five.cents, the lowest in many years.
Although nearly ten million acres
are supposed to have been taken
out of production this year, the
census bureau estimates this year's
crop at nearly twelve and half mil
lion bales.

U. S. Ready To Land Marines fat
Cuba To Protect Americans There
Will Not Permit U. S. Citizens To
Be Attacked By Mobs In
Riots.
Washington, Sept 8—With its
attention focused on the Cuban
crisis, the United States govern
ment last night stood ready to land
American marines or bluejackets on
an instant's notice if its nationals
should be attacked by rioters or
mobs
While latest reports to the stale
department from the Island gave
hope that no such contingency
might arise. the administration
mapped out a carefully planned
course of action and ordered 16 ad
ditional warships to Cuban waters
These brought to 30 the number of
armed vessels converging upon the
island or standing by a few hours ,
steaming distance away.
The administration was m def
initely opposed to armed interven
tion u it had baen from the out
set, but the landing of fighting men
to protect Americans was viewed in
another light.
In the history of Cuba's inde
pendence the United States has ac
tually intervened but once—under
the Theodore Roosevelt administra
tion in 1906 to 1909 But on other
occasions its warships have put
landing parties ashore, taking them
off again as soon as American life
and property were safe.
Back in 1912 the American gov
ernment landed bluejackets at sev
eral sugar wharves on trie northern
coast when the properties owned by
Americans were attacked by mobs
and rioters. Again in 1917 armed
men were landed at Santiago on ft
similar errand
In these Instances announcement
was made that the action had
hpthing to do with the general in
ternal affairs of Cuba and that the
men would be withdrawn just as
soon as American interests were
safeguarded.
