' I New York, Jan. 1.?Mrs. Muriel ' MacSwiney, \^dow of the late lord mayor of Cork, sailed i^way from America today carrying, to Eamonn de YaJera, "president of the Irish Republic" a message that "all is well" among the sympathizers with * is cause in this country. This message to the Sinn Feinj leader was sent by his secretary, Harry Boland, who announced yesterday that his "chief" had landed in Erin to direct the Irish fight for independence after spending 15 months in this country. Several hundred Irish sympathizers surrounded Mrs. MacSwiney as she entered the pier to go on board the steamship Panhandle State bearing aloft the three striped banner of Ireland's "repub lie." New York's- ".ngnung oixuyYilnth" legiment band serenaded her and tho cro^d- ^n^Irish airs.

Today she said the expressions of sympathy she had received in America had carried sunshine "into the very dejiths of the sorrow" brought by her hui^nd's death. In a farewell message she called' " -v iV. upon America "speedily zo reuevt? i?c devastation of Ireland and help it to stand by .your side, a free and independent nation."

Five years ago the outlay for the scholastic :year 1914-15 in this state was $3,295^506.58, according to the " - j state superintendent oi eaucsuwi. Four years later, during the year of 1918-19, this figure had risen to $4,370;d65.2&Public school # expenditures for the last 12 months amounted to $6,680,399.18, which is more than double the investment of five years before. The increase in expenditures over those of five years ago was $3,364,892//.). The increase over those of one year / ago was $2,290,333.90. Mr. Swearingen says this growth was the greatest during any single year nnhlic schools. I ' in uie lliOWljr v* VMW c _ By far the largest part of school revenues has gone in teachers' salaries. The figures for three years show that in 1914-15 white teachers Were paid $1,9*4,5&.S2; in 1918-19, $2,764,866.12, ?nd m 1919-20, $3,?50,922.19. The s&Iary increase for white teachers during- the last five years amounted, to $1,906,3^3.^7, while the corresponding: increase for the last *2 months amounted to $1,ns? i nfi 07. The corresponding figures for negroes show salaries iii 1914-15 ,to have been $336,700.61; in 1918-19, $436,115.57, and in 1919-20, $645,893.46. The compensation of negro teachers increased within the five year epriod by $309,19^.85, while during the last 12 months their compensation increased by $209f777.89. The combined figures ?for both races show the total paid for teachers' salaries in 1914-15 to have been $2,281,249.13; in 1918-19, $3,201, 001.69, and in 1919-20, $4,496,815.65. The compensation of the entire teaching corps increased during the five year period by $2,215,566.52. It is significant to note, however, that'the increase in teachers' salaries during the scholastic year 1919-20 was $1,295,815.96?again the most significant growth during any single year in the history of public schools.

FARM LEGISLATION WILL BE ASKED (Continued From Page 1.) must be distributed into the channels of commerce in accordance with the 'egltimate laws of supply, and demand. To market cotton in an orderly manner so as to supply the legitimate needs of consumption means selling each crop through a period of not less than 12 months after harvesting, and to do this successfully and in M.'tisfflptorv manner to the growers, a credit system based upon baled cotton, properly warehoused and insured, must be devised as an adjunct to the limited credit facilities available under our present banking system. The bonding of cotton in the form of short time in"Tnll \7 so. uwaiai^ vv& viitvuivvw; WV cured by high class collateral security in the form of cotton stored and insured, is in full compliance with both' state and federal laws and does not in any particular .transgress the state or federal banking laws. Large corporations in all sections of the union have used such a system for years in the orderly financing of their business, and clearly no class of security issued against any commodity, not even gold, is superior to merchantable cotton properly stored and insured. 'The legality of issuing cotton bonds as herein referred to has been submitted to the study and opinion of some of the ablest constitutional lawyers of the country andf to the high est osnfiing uinci<us ux , In each and every instance no legal objections have "been ' found,, but, on the contrary, the most favorable indorsements have resulted. teWe present ^herewith" a series <jf sound, practical reasons for the enactment of a cotton .bonding law and the practical advantages from issuing cdtton bonds: . t+ innralivoc tVio isoiip nf t.he HOW* AIs VI?V ?. , bonds and safeguards the validity and security of such bonds under the supervision of the state. "Second: It guarantees to all holders and purchasers -of such bonds that their payment is protected by tfhe highest type of gilt edge security held in the custody of the state until the bonds are liquidated. "Third: Cotton boVidg issued against cotton stored and insured retires siich cotton from the market during the life of the bonds, which to that extent lightens the burden of supply of spot cotton, which is too often used by speculators and adverse interests to hammer down the price. ' \ "Fourth: Cotton bonds .supply a medium of gilt edge exchange, iby which the original owners can liquidate their indebtedness while developing and adhering to a system of throusrh the pro V/X UViiJ w per process of selling to meet the legitimate needs of consumption, and avoids the necessity of dumping' cotton on .the market in" a short period of time, which too often depresses values 'below the cost of production. Better Than Receipts. "Fifth: Cotton bonds are superior in value to the holder or purchaser than a note secured 'by ordinary warehouse receipts, because the bonds are protected: (a) by cotton stored in bonds .by each, unit organization; (d) must show the weight, j cfonia n-f flip "hale and that: gl'ciue anu ovayiv w* the cotton is insured in standard companies; (b) by the owner's note, whose standing and credit in the community is carefuly examined; (c) by the unlimited liability of the members of the cotton bonding company issuing the bonds by each unit organization; (d) by the supervision of the state warehouse board, the chairman of which board will act as trustee under the law, and safeguard: the possession of the collateral secur* * * xfVio navmATii: of lties given tu ? ? the bonds until the .bonds are fully li- j quidated as to principal and interest; (e) by the state banking department, which will from time to time examine the books, records and securities of each unit cotton bonding company organized under the law, and +y?p hnnks. records and securities ! pertaining- to the cotton bonds in the' custody and control of the state I warehouse beard. ! "Sixth: Cotton bonds will enable the farmers to hold back and retire from the market a portion of theii cotton when prices are unsatisfactory for a stated period of time without being called for additional margins on loans under a depressing market, as is the present custom of our bank ing system. This in itself should recommend the use of cotton bonds throughout the cotton belt as a niosl desirable medium of financing the maturing obligations of the growers during the process of orderly markets. "Seventh: Cotton bonds will be more readily accepted by banks, merchants, fertilizer dealers and others with whom the growers have business relations for securing loans oi money and liquidating maturing obligations. Ta Prnmnfa C nanPl-atl'Qn. "Eighth: Cotton bonds will tenc to rapidly develop a protective anc valuable system of cooperative marketing among farmers and place in their power the inherent right recognized >by all legitimate business thafl cost, plus a reasonable profit, is fundamentally imperative for the progressive development of any industry. "Ninth: Cotton bonds present no feature expressed or implied as a combination in restraint of trade and violates 'nor infringes upon any law. state or federal. "Tenth: Cotton bonds will tend to overthrow the primitive customs and habits of marketing spot cotton which have so long enslaved the growers in poverty and illiteracy, causing the representatives , of the highest types of the Anglo-Saxon race to stand at the mercy of the organized cotton trade of the world. Cotton bonds will bring financial freedom to the agricultural and commercial 'life of the South and enable the growers of <the great staple crops of this country to enjoy their proportionate part of the golden stream of wealth which each year flows in a fulsome? stream from dts silken fiber, and to wring a just and fair subsi-dj from every nation of the world which must have American cotton." 13?S3 has boile If too maty c have set yo and nerves j the pot on t But this in place < Boil it a ?u utes after b< and you. will rich, satisfy: The benefit soon be app?
