SIGNS MARKETING CONTRACT
Many Advantages to Be Derived
From Contract.
t ColumJbia Aug. 25.?In sending
in his signed cotton cooperative
marketing contract, Alfred Scarborough,
of Eastover wrote Harry G.
Rammer, of Gadsden, president of
the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative, Association, that he
sees "so many advantages to be de
rived from this legally binding contract
over a period of years for the
scientific handling and marketing of
co?tg>n that I hesitate to write in oth r
than general praise of it."
Continuing Mr. Scarborough said:
"It has absolutely been my belief
for a long time that we would
eventually come to the California
plan with certain modificationSf and
I believe that this is the first vital
step needed - toward the permanent
solution of our problems. What the
farmer needs a apprOsition which
is so substantial and remedial in its
aatare, that though education and
evolution be necessary to set him in*

need and absolute soundness he will
learn to believe in it with all his
keait. He thinks he has been stung
wo often that he now* wants to start
n Something alone that he 'feels
Itads to a definite goal, and* I am
convinced this plan will meet that
*eed."

GERMAN TREATY
NOT YET SIGNED
UNEXPECTED TECHNICAL POINT
RAISED IN CONNECTION WITH
FORMALITIES CAUSES DELAY
AS COMMSSIONER SENDS
QUERY TO WASHINGTON
______ I
Berlin, Aug. ?5.?The peace treaty
between the United States and
Germany was not signed today as had
been intended.
The delay in signing resulted from
an unexpected technical point raised
in connection with the formalities as
arranged by Ellis Loring. Dresel,
American commissioner, and Dr.
Friedrich Rosen, the German foreign
minister, yesterday.
The ceremony of Signing was to
have taken piace at noon today at
the foreign office, but it was postponed
at the request of Mr. Dresef,
who asked the privilege of querying
the Washington government on the
mooted point.
At both the headquarters of the
American commission and the German
foreign office it was said that
i***TAl*TA/1 fV?n
UltT bctlllliv;aiit)r vviliwa mrwucu Hit
delay did not affect the contents or
character of the treaty as both governments
reached a? full accord on
the official text some days ago.
Although the point which was referred
to Washington is said to be of
minor technical importance, Commissioner
Dresel preferred to obtain
a ruling upon it from the American
state department. If this reply is received
Thursday, it is probable that
duly executed copies of the treaty
will be exchanged that day.
The signing in "Vienna today of
the peace treaty between Austria and
the United States was said to be a
mere coincidence with the date on
which the Germaft peace treaty was
to have been signed, as it wa3 declared
that neither German hor
American officials here had been informed
of the signing of the Austrian
treaty.
Vienna, Aug. 25.?The treaty of
peace between the United States and
Austria was signed here this afternoon,
Arthur Hugh Frazier, American
commissioner in Vienna, acting
for the Washington government.
Such expedition and secrecy attended
the preliminary negotiations
and today's simple ceremony that
the late newspapers today furnished
the first news that the United States
and Austria no longer' were even
technical enemies.
The terms of the treaty are being
withheld for the present. It is
understood that the government does
not desire public discussion of the
treaty pending its ratification by the
foreign affairs committee of the parliament.
The ceremony of the signature was
devoid of formality. Mr. Fx-azier, accompanied
by Secretary Shoecraft
arrived at the foreign office at 12:57
o'clock this afternoon. They went
immediately to 'the chancellor's bureau,
where they were received by
Chancellor Schoeber and a few other
officials. The document was in readiness
and was signed at once.
A brief and informal exchange of
congratulations followed, Mr. Frazier
saying the occasion marked a vital
step in the restoration of peace and
expressing the hope that it would
have a great moral as well as material
effect upon Austria. Chancellor
Schoeber, with ill concealed emo
:on, voiced deep gratification upon
the restoration of relations with the
United States,
Already Before Senate
Washington, Aug. 25.?The new
treaty with Germany was laid before
members of the senate foreign
relations committee today and was
received by them with some expressions
of uncertainty but with a
general show of approval.
The text of the treaty was not!
made public pending word of its signature
in Berlin, but it became
known that the document reaffirms
in exact language the principal features
of the peace resolution and
gives force to various portions of

A first impression of approval was
voiced by Republicans and Democratic

final decisiors were reserved
there appeared little prospect tonight

North Carolina's Production Valued
At $8,000,000
Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 25.?North
Carolina's production of minerals
during the year 1920 was valued at
more than $8,000,000, according to
information given out today at publicity
headquarters here of the Made
in Carolinas Exposition, bafed on
compilations furnished by Dr. Joseph
Hyde Pratt, director of the Nortk
Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey. Dr. Pratt, who is organizing
with notable success a great exhibit
showing the diversity and value of
the natural resources of the state,
plans to make possible a broad study
of the state's mineral resources by
AvnAoiflAW VlQlfATM
tAyUkJiWlWU ? *v* k/.
The production in mineral wealth
for 1920 shows a tremendous - increase
over 1900, when the total value,
of such products was only $1,604,078.
The figures exceeded the
$2,000,000 mark for the first time in
1902 by just $3,000, but dropped
back in 1903 aijd 1904 to $1,900,000.
In 1905, an increase of $500,000 was
shown, and the total for 1906 showed
another increase of $600,000, the
$3,000,000 mark being exceeded by
$7,000. A slight increase was shown
in 1907, but the following year a
reduction of about $8,550,000 was
shown, and the totals fluctuated around
the $2,850,000 total during
the next five years, the total of 1912
falling to $2,514,000. An increase of
,$1,300,000 was shown by the total of
$3,879,000 for 1913, with slight decreases
being sjjown for 1914 and
1915. The total of $4,746,000 for
1916 represented an increase of $1200,000;
the total for 1917 was
$5,192,000; 1919, $6,457,000. With
some figures yet lacking, the 1920
total stands at $8,051,000, and Dr.
Pratt expects the final total to be
about $8,250,000.
The figures given represent the
production of granite, sandstone,
marble and other forms of limestone;
brick, tile, pottery, potterj
