WANNAMAKER TELLS
OF CONFERENCE
SAYS EXPORT CORPORATIONS
HOPE OF AGRICULTURE.
Delegates Discuss Reestablishment
of War Finance Body?Thinks
N Conference Beneficial.
/
The State, lGth.
J. S. Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton association, returned
yesterday from Washington,
where he attended a convention of
* all the farm organizations of America.
He said the association represented
every side and phase of agriculture.
Mr. Wannamaker gave out
yesterday the following statement
regarding the convention:
"This was not only one of the
most unusuai, but one of the most
important and one of the most bene&
ficial conferences in the interest of
% agriculture and commerce ever held
in America. Practically every agri.<.Un?n1
eto+o in f Vio nriinri W9 5 rpn
t'UlbUlUi cwabv xu vi*v
resented by leaders of 'agriculture?. 1
* Leading: senators and congressmen j
and outstanding leaders in various
lines of commerce, all intensely in- i
* terested in agriculture, took an ac-j
tive part in the deliberations of the
contention. Two conferences were!
held with the federal reserve board;'
!
these conferences were attended by j
representatives from every section of j
the nation, representing every line cf!
agriculture, and without exception it j
was brought to light that the agri- i
cultural interests of the entire nation :
is today suffering from the most se-j
ricus blow that it has received in the j
last half century, and unless relief !
is extended through the federal re-;
serve system as requested, the agri-j
cultural interests, nationwide, will i
be placed in the; Same deplorable con-;
dition that was brought to the agrl-;
cultural interests 6f the South fcl-'
lowing the Confederate war.
"In addition to the addresses made j
before the board by the' heads cf |
\ each of the associations several
senators also delivered addresses.
The address of Senator E. D. Smith
before the federal reserve board and
before the secretary of treasury
made a wonderful impression not
only upon delegates attending1 the I
conference but abD upon all interested
parties, t is the consensus cf
opinion that the federal reserve
board will fully understand the situawill
oy+ptiH pverv relief I

possible. It was likewise the unanimous
opinion of those present that
regardless of the fact that all of the j
officials in Washington and the sen- j
ators and congressmen in Washing-j
ton are united in their judgment,!
that the war finance corporation
should be reestablished, and that its
reestablishment would save millions
to agriculture and agricultural interests
of the nation, and would immo-j
diately have a benenciai ene;t u?m-u
the entire commercial life of the nation,
still Secretary Houston, who
has entire charge under the law, of
reestablishing same, will not reestablish
the war finance, corporation,
and therefore, the only relief along
this line possible can come through
the earnest effort of the united agricultural
and commercial life of the
nation, in the formation of export
corporations. The export corporation,
being organized in the South,
was indorsed in the strongest terms
and it was earnestly urged that the j
.? capital' of this corporation should be !
increased to $100,000,000 as speedily
as possible.
"I called this agricultural conference
in Washington recognizing that
if relief could be had and a fuller i
understanding brought about, this;
was the best course to pursue. I am j
convinced that it will result in brin?-:
- - - ? . 1
ing wonderful benefits. A perma- j
nent organization of a national ag- J
ricultural congress will follow. Na- j
tion associations of marketing asso- j
ciations will follow. I have exhaust-:
! ed every effort in my power to se- j
cure access to the markets of the t
1 world for our agricultural products. J
I am convinced that the only pos.;i- j
ble relief to the cotton farmer of \
- ?*
the South and the wheat tarmer 01 \
the West, the cattle and hog raisers;
of the Middle West, the dairymen cf;
the North and East, in fact every
, > line of agriculture and commerce,
nationalwide, is the formation of

said that the cotton may have
been on fire when it left the gin,

The Rice warehouse was located
immediately adjoining the county
jail, and for a time that building
seemed doomed to destruction. All
of the prisoners were Taken out and
held under guard until the fire was
out. I
County officials say there was no
evidence of a plot to destroy the cotton
because of the ginning. Cotton

I
Farmers Cut Prices for Cotton
Picking at Suggestion of
White Caps.
Florence, Oct. 1">.?White caps,
; 200 strong:, with horses and riders
! in Hip Ku Khi:< <rarb. rode into
j Lake City Thursday night and as a
i result the cotton fields next day were
i thick with cotton pickers and the
| housewives of Lake City have all the
| help in the way of cooks and washerwomen
they desire. Farmers now
| see a way out of the ruin which faced
I them by the deterioration of cotton
j turning blue in the fields for the lack
| of pickers. The white caps appeared
j in the town of Lake City about 1
o'clock Thursday night. First they
called on some farmers who had been
paying as much as $1.50 a hundred
pounds for picking cotton and suggested
to them that this was too
much. The price fell to $1 in a
twinkling. Then the cavalcade proceeded
to 'he negro section and threw
out several hints to the effect that
more work and less loafing among
the nesrrocs of that section would
perhaps be a good thing-. Hence the
the new hordes of pickers and the j
multitude of cooks and washers today.
Mayor W. H. Whitehead was
also visited. It was then about 2
o'clock in the morning'. The mayor
came to his door and was told that
he should enforce the vagrancy iaws
more vigorously. Mayor "Whitehead
responded by declaring that he had
attempted to enforce these laws but
his efforts had been met with severe
criticism from some quarters, ar.d
tfiafTo make the laws more effective
he must have the undivided support
of the community. From the looks
of things lact night the mayor is sure
of this support in future.
The white caps went about their
business calmly and quietly. There
" * * j x i - JL i. ^
was no evidence ot any mtenuun iw
offer violence to any of the many
persons visited, but they meant business
just the same.
Death of Mrs. W. C. Miller.
Mrs. Nora Counts Miller, wife of

I Laurens, Oct. 15.?Sheriff Reid
j was notified late today that the Goodgion
ginnery in the Shiloh section of.
i the county was posted last night by
night riders, ordering the manage'
ment to close ginning at once until
further orders or until cotton goes

hzirman of Democratic National j
Committee Says Stampede
Has Begun.
Ne'vV York, Oct. 15.?George!
bite, chairman of the Democratic J
^tionr.l committee, last night issued ja
statement in which he said that 12
:1 even in hcur plans of the Republi- j c
.ns would fail to check the Rapub-' ^

"The Republican campaign, is in i
sorder," Mr. White declared, f
?arty rank.i have been broken. c
lose who for years have affiliated t
ith the party because they have be:vc?:
that it stood for high pi'inci- ^
es ai\? desert injr it. t
"Independents who have often f
ipported it are turning to Govrev- t
n' Cox. In close council and deep
eiecy the Kardir.g campaign man;ers
are seeking franticaWy to work |
;t eleventh hour plans to legain ^
st ground/' x
1
One of these "plans," Mr. White r
id, he understood was to announce
advance the personnel of the cab- ?
et Senator Harding would eensti- j.
te if elected.
"It is to contain names of cistiniised
men who are seemingly di:-1.
larging their party obligation at the | ^
:pcnse of their convictions and ,v
eir consciences.
Q
''If the plan is carried out its pur- "r
>se will 'be to impress a disgusted
ition with the fact that a weak
resident would surround himself ^
ith strong mer. It would be a con- ^
;ssion of inefficiency unparalleled
. the history of American cam- (
lisr.s."
" <
Mr. White staled that the R:pub:-an
party was being deserted for ^
iree reason:, rs follows:
"First, true Americans are deter- j
i.ned that the league of nations can j
? saved only through the election of (
overnor Cox. ,
"Second, the country has cone to
low Senator Harding as at best, a i
abbler on the great issuer, ar.d, at i <
or:t, by his own statement, a sworn <
lemy of any league.
"Third, Americans will not counte- <
ince the Republican plan for a sep- j 1
ate peace with Germany." j 1
In concluding his statement Mr. '
rhite referred to Senator Harding's *
;claration on league of nation's cb- J
Rations, "I do not want to clarify *
lese obligations. I want to turn
y back on them."
"These words," Mr. White said, 1
smashed the deceitful strategy of 1
campaign which proposed to fool 3
rervbody until after election and (
igan a movement which has become j
stampede."

to foster'exports to Europe

t was not in line with good business

ifically high prices.

An "Alarming" Condition. |
Later the delegation carried cut j
ts plan of asking a preferential re-<
liscount rate on agricultural paper,
it a hearing before the full member-j
ihip of the federal reserve board.
They characterized the situation facng
the producers due to the falling
narket "as alarming" and insisted!
;hat one of the main purposes of the i
federal reserve law was to furnish j
elasticity of currency for the agri-j
cultural interests in such emergen-!
iies.
"I ask one specific thing," S?na;or
Smith, who was again the spckes-:
nan, said in summing up the case of J
he producers. "Give the agricul-j
;ura! interests a lower rate of dis-j
:-ount in this distressing time than!
?
y-ou do anybody else."
"This is the last time," the South!
Carolina senator told the beard,!
'that I expect to appear before youj
:>n this matter.'' i
There was a distinct feeling of j
jntimism among the delegates when j
:hey left the conference with the j
3oard, although no action was taken j
5y the board. It appeared to rest on;
;'ne belief that board members were j
r nathetic towards the problem of j
;ne farmers.
Some Agency Needed.
The delegates emphasized their feel- j
ng at both conferences that if they j
^ould secure some agency for fmanc- j
ng the credits of Europe and in-.
1-- 4-u^!
:rease the sale or exports, men,
flight would be largely 'relieved.:
They asked the reserve board to use I
ts influence in having the finance
.corporation reestablished for this
Durpose.
The general meetings of the ag ieulture
conferenbe cdncluded today
jut a committee representative of!
>ach of the 30 agricultural cornmo- {
lities which made up the conference!
vill remain in Washington until the
tatement of credit policy in preparition
by reserve banks and covering
he whole credit situation is made

New York, Oct. 14.?The war fitarice
corporation if permitted to
unction at this time, could help inhe
present crisis of the cotton mar-J
:ets. in the opinion of Eugene Mey-1
r, Jr., former managing director of!,
he corporation. The help could be j <
xtended, said Mr. Meyer in a state- j,
lent tonight, by having the war fi-j(
ance corporation do exactly the <
hings it was doing when its activities <
:ere suspended by the secretary of 1
ners
d to Houston
the treasury on May 1U.
Mr. Meyer's statement was made
in reply to a telegram from George ,
R. James of Memphis. Tenn., asking
advice as to what help the corporation
could be at this time and how
the money could be raised.
Mr. James declared the situation relative
to the cotton producer and
the people dependent upon cotton as
a basis for financing is most deplorable
and that a lack of banking facilities
at this time will sacrifice the
cotton producer and his dependents
and greatly benefit the -speculator.
Mr. Meyer reviewed the work of
the corporation in aiding exports and
said that when it was compelled to
suspend.it had applications involving
many millions of dollars worth of
various commodities for export. The
secretaries' decision to suspend the
corporation's activities was strongly
opposed by a substantial part of the
board of directors, Mr. Meyer said.
"Money for the war finance corporation,
in my opinion," he stated,
"could now be raised to the extent
of $250,000,000 to $500,000,000 by
the issue of one year war finance corporation
bonds bearing 6 per cent,
interest with a small discount or selling
commission. N
"The war finance corporation issue
$200,000,000 of one year 5 per cent,
notes in April, 1919, to provide funds
to take care of eventual emergency
requirements made necessary by the
failure of congress to pass the rail
road appropriation. These notes
were paid off o?- or before maturity.
In my opinion, ft would be possible
to raise large amounU-in the same
investment market at this time with
out calling upon the treasury for
funds and with the result of moving
our crops and relieving the farmers
and the breaks."

gains by means of forward passes
and a few runs. Wofford made most
of its gains through the line and this
failed in the last half when the Lutherans
defense stiffened. Newberry
made a count in the first quartei
when Elystone went through the Une
for a touchdown. Woffora made its
touchdown in the second quarter.
Newberry won in the fourth quarter
by means of a safety when Turnipseed
was downed behind his own goal
line after tumDiing tne oaii in an
effort to punt. The WofforJ quarter
was injured on this play and had to
retire from the g-ime. Blystone,
Thomas, Balleniine and Binder played
the best game for Newberry while
Turnipseed and Berry did the best ,
work for Wofford. Blystone's rare
judgment at quarter has been the
feature of all of Newberry's games
this year.
