. SEPARATE PEACE .CAUSES SLOGAN| Republican* Will Support Cox At Result of Harding's Recent Declaration. New Yorn, Oct. 9.?George White, chairman of the Democratic national committee today announced a new slogan adopted by supporters of the league of nations idea for the remainder of the campaign. It is, "No separate peace with Ger- , many." This rallying cry, Mr. White said, ] "is echoed in the hearts of all who i favor the league. We have written it| < indelibly upon our purpose here at' < national headquarters. j 1 "The speech of Senator Harding at 11 ?>es Moines verifies the proposal in J his speech of acceptance and his vote on the Knox resolution in favor of a separate peace with Germany. "In the name of dead and living < soldiers, sailors and marines, who de- t livered the finishing thrust to the Ger- I man army and in the name of the men I t-nd women who labored here at homej I to support them,' the Democratic par- c ty resents their shameful proposal, c which canarise only from a desire tojx truckle to the sentiments of those ]s who sympathised with .the kaiser dur-l] ing the war. "We are for the treaty of Versail-j* les, which includes the covenant of the league of nations, and the Republicans are committed to a separate peace, deserting our allies and per- i nsitting the Germans to escape all the < obligations which defeat laid upon ! them. i 1 * "In the next three weeks, you wiU( < see this country realise the obloquy'* of such a stand by the party of Lin-J. coin, McKinley and Roosevelt. The j 1 first Republican to resent it publicly, 11 I learn, is Herbert Parsons, formerji New York congressman and former, i Republican rational committeeman'] from the Empire state. He has de-jj cided to support the league by the : only practical means. This does cred-ji it to his patriotism and convictions, i We welcome him, fighting with us for, a cause beyond partisanship. There will be many more." I New York, Oct. 9.?Herbert Par-j sons, member of the Republican na-] Everything in Reduced?] In line with the drop i We have marked dow cordingly.

Pol Abbeville ORIGINAL WILSON MAN ' DECLARES FOR HARDING New ork, Oct. 7.?Eugene Outerbridge, president of the New York Chamber of Commerce, one of the oringinal group of five who picked Wilson for president in 1912 and supported him heartily, both in that year and in 1916, declared for Harding and Coolidge today. "I was one of those misguided independent Democrats who eagerly supported President Wilson in 1912," he wrote. "I was mistaken in jelieving that he could lead the party to achieve high and beneficial results. It appears to me that no sadier wreck of possibilites than this las ever occurred during my lifetime."

Carolina * FORTY CENTS COTTON BEING DISCUSSED Governor Harding Of Federal Reserve Board at Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 9.?W. P. G. Harding, president of the board of governors of the federal reserve bank, with D. C. Wells, newly appointed member of the board, met here today with the directorate of the Atlanta branch and discussed the movement to hold cotton for 40 cents a pound, which has been sponsored by the American Cotton asso ciation. L. B. Jackson, director of the Georgia bureau of markets, who said he was speaking for 90 per cent of the banks in his own state, made a plea before the board for a more liberal extension of credit to Southern planters, claiming they need the money to pay off debts incurred while producing the present cotton crop. Mr. Jackson asked that members ( of the federal reserve system be allowed to discount notes for money which, he said, is to be used in pay ment ot wages, iercinzer anu sup-1 ply bills. He said the loans would extend for only a few days nad would not materially affect the reserve of the federal system. He also declared that a great majority of planters were not seeking money simply to finance themselves while they were holding cotton off the market. They are hard pressed by creditors, he said, and must have cash at once with which to meet obligations incurred this summer. For Export Corporation Governor Harding announced tonight that Birmingham is to have a sub-treasury of the United States immediately in the sense that the local branch of the federal reserve bank will perform the functions of a snh-treasurv. Championing the Export Cotton association idea tonight, Governor Harding declared that he had been informed by the commercial agent of the German government now in the United States, that Germany | alone i? in need of 2,000,000 bales j of cotton; that the Germans have j the mills with which to spin the cot- j ton and workmen to operate the: mills, but that their money is s.> de-[ preciated that they can not pay for the cotton they needin money. j "Under a well organized cotton export organization," Governor Hading stated, "we could ship our' raw cotton to Germany under an! adequate guarantee by the German' I banks and the German government, j The cotton would be manufactured into cloth and the manufactured! product disposed of to nations whose; currency has not depreciated, ( and | in the end the Germans could pay us for our cotton in good American' dollars. "This system would have to ex-! tend over a period of nine months tio allow for the shipment of the cot ton to Europe, its manufacture ano the sale of the finished product. ( ; To Stimulate Situation "In my opinion, the first 10,000 j bales of cotton shipped abroad un-j der this system and with this guar-j an tee would have an instantaneous effect in stimulating the entire cotton situation. To my mind, it is the greatest opportunity in the South today. "It is up to the South to do this thing for itself and with ite own money. The North can not do it for the South. The North has money, but it likewise has use for all the money in its possession. It is the duty and the opportunity of the ?M>UDnerner5 to qu tins iui mciuselves." Matters transacted by the directors of the federal reserve bank of Atlanta in their meeting here today were: The question of changing the basfe rate of 6 per cent, with progressive features to a flat rate of 7 per cent, and referred to a committee. Thia committee will report after a meeting of ail the governors of the federal reserve banks to be held with * * ' J ? U ?vw. XV o oVn ri crtnn me ooaru iiicmwis in .. at an early date. The matter of making provision for credit to the farmer to enable the liquidation of debt for fertilizers . and the like was also referred to a ) a committee to report later. This question was presented by L. B. Jackson of the Georgia state bu! reau of markets. ? * . COTTON CROP IS LATER THAN USUAL THIS YEAR Columbia, Oct. 9.?The cotton crop in South Carolina is later this year i than for ten years, according to the \ government ginnings report received t in full by cotton men in Columbia i Wednesday. Cotton ginned up to Sep- 3 tember 25, this year in South Caro- J lina totaled only 171,000 bales, as i compared with 331,000 last year. The I next smallest total for this time of! the year in past years was in 1913, when the ginnings reported up to g? September 25 totaled 193,000. The j next lowest to that was in 1912, when | the ginnings reached 174,000 bales. ] While the crop is late in South Car- j olina, it is ahead of last year for the j entire cotton belt, the total for thej|j belt in this week's government report jj showing 2,243,000, and for last year jj 1,835,000. , Columbia cotton men attribute the jj lateness of marketing the crop to the jj fact that the crop itself is late. How- || ever, it is stated that the cotton seed jj! oil mills of South Carolina are buy- jj ing far less than they bought up to || this time last year. According to ^ prominent crushers today the total ~ amount of cotton seed crushed up to jj this week this season is about 17,000 i Ana oc nnmnororl rxnfVi oKmif f*fl fifiH Z UVllO U>J VVUI|IU1VU n IKll uwwuv V V|W w v last year. It is also stated that the cotton seed oil mills have this year bought only about half the amount of cotton bought last year. The cotton bought to this time last year totaled 49,447 bales.
