I SERGEANT YORK NOT TO ; BE EX-COMMUNICAtED; " PASTOR PROUD OF HIM ] 1 Pall Mall, Tenn., June 2.?Ser- '> ! geant Alvin C. York will not be ex- 1 communicated from the Church of 1 Christ and Christian Union for hav- < ing practically annihilated a German i I battal;on, and otherwise wrought ' vengeance upon the Hun enemy. Nor i will he be otherwise disciplined by ' his church. In fact Pastor Pile says i th<* huakv subiert diH "richt ill lav- < ing low these enemies." ' Pastor Pile declares he is very 1 proud of York. He denied rumors < to the effect the Church of Christ ' and Christian Union would expel or j? ' otherwise discipline Sergeant York] because he had fought and killed in 1 the war. He stated th?t the church 1 had made no objections to York be- 3 coming a combatant, but that he per- < sonally had opposed it and had ad- 1 vised Sergeant York to enter a plea * of conscientious objector. Pastor i Pile stated that if Sergeant York l had not been "right," he could notj t have killed the Germans. "Sergeant ( York thought he was doing the right i fkinfl* " Pnr^nw'.

Skottowe Vannamaker, president of the Amirican Cotton Association, recently ent a letter to the bankers of the Jnited States, North and South, givng them information on the cost of iroduction of cotton urging that hey assist the farmers of the South n their fight for better prices. "Letters from many prominent Northern bankers received during he past few days, indicate a marked lisposition on their part to assist our ' armers," says Mr. Wannamaker in . . . i i i ~ i statement issued yesteraay. - inese ankers frankly admit that they were :ntirely misinformed as to the true ondrtions existing in the South, i'hey further state that they will co- : perate with .he cotton association >ecause they feel that as a matter if patriotism and justice, the cotton ,'rower should get a profit on his otton. They say they were of the ipinion that the production of cotton lad been enormously profitable until he information which we sent them vas received. "One prominent banker says in; lis letter to us: "After receiving rour letter, inclosures and informaion and giving them careful atten;ion I have made a personal investigation, and to my great surprise, ind that you have not at all overIrawn conditions. I have been in he banking business for the last 40 rears. Thought I thoroughly under;tood the Southern conditions, but im frank to admit that I have been intirely misinformed. As an Ameri:an citizen who has the interest of svery section at heart, I feel it my luty to co-operate with every section >f America and will gladly cooper/inmnni/vn urliiVll UC WIUI yV\JL ill JfUUl ^amyaigu nu?vu ! find is based on simple justice, four cotton crop, on account of the jreat uncertainty of production, the' Wanting of cotton being: to a large j sxtent a gamble, as you are forced j ;o contend with the weather, storms ind insects, should bring an exremely large profit to the grower, specially as it is strictly a handmade' jroduct, and I sincerely hope that1 rour campaign will bring complete ihanges for the better to the cotton jroducing section of the South.' "A personal letter from another irominent Northern banker, a friend )f the president of the cotton association, states: 'I congratulate you jpon the wonderful work being done. Sfour campaign in this section is certainly bringing about results. It is i campaign of information and edu:ation. I have been watching it with ieep interest, but did not realize the enormous scope upon which you have been conducting it, until your letters were received. I will gladly co-op erate in any way possible. Knowing your ability as a banker, I would suggest and urge that you prepare a strong paper along .tre financial side of the question. The inflation of the currency should be emphasized. You have the ability to do this. ; 'I note that you .expect to conduct a speaking campaign.. throughout the South. It would probably result in much good if you.could also arrange at least a few of these schedules for the great Northern centers. The truth never hurts. Information and education is what we want. People are thinking today as never before, [n every line of life, the social, commercial and all others, want the truth and you have it on your side. From personal information and my experience in traveling through the South, it would require a vast sum ,o rebuild the rural sections so that :hey would draw and hold the white nen on the farm and improve general conditions in rural life. " 'The sum necessary to rehabili;ate the South would be truly sttlsendous and I realize that to enable fou to do this, it would be necessary ;o get a high price for your cotton. r+ .... .... .?.l it* wuuiu yaj wit: iiauuu tu r**j aucu i price." It would prove a profitable nvestment as there is no asset worth nore to the nation than the man on ;he farm. He is the backbone of any :ountry. He will be needed in the econstruction period, not only as a iroducer, but as a safety valve and is a protection against these danger>ur foreign doctrines.' " LAND DEAL CLOSED. H. W.
