Several meetings have been held in different parte of the county within the past week, and these have been weJJ attended. All the contracts are coming through County Agent Wood's office und those In charge of the sign,\?p fee] very much encouraged at the progress made the past week. Harold H. Jeter, field representstive of the association, who is in town today, said: The cotton is coming into Columbia, Spartanburg^ and Greenville by trainloads every day. Cotton is being received at every point in the state right now. The members are expressing great satisfaction at the way it is being handled. It relieves them of ail worry in regard to handling and taking carc of their cotton. When they are members of the association all they are required to do is to turn the cotton over to the receiver at any place most convenient to them, get their receipts and make draft on thel association for 12 cents per pound for short staple and 18 cents for long. "This feature has been especially pleasing to the members., "In a recent tour through York, Chester and Fairfield counties I found all machinery working like clock work without a hitch, the cotton appeared to be grading out exceptionally well and of very best quality, although a much shorter crop than usual. "In traveling over, the state I have been impressed with the spirit of cooperation between the bankers and business men together with the farmers. And Union county being my home I am particularly anxious to see s her sign up so that her showing will compare favorably with the other counties in the state. If the farmers of this county could just travel over the state as I have and see the fine ppihit of loyalty and good feeling to. I ward this great movement they would i ' not hesitate to sign the contract and. help put this great selling system for the emancipation of the eotton farmer over. we do this if a great number of growers stay on the outside and drag us down?" D. J. MacMillan, representing the association, said today: "I have visited several gins this week and have seen cotton of an inch to one and one-sixteenth staple sold at the same price as seven-eights. I j have seen the growers march up like, sheep and dump their cotton on th? market and submit tamely to the | ? grading, pricing of the other fellow and let him have it at a loss of from j nine to fourteen cents per pound lessj than it actually cost them to make it. i , No man can sell a pound of cotton this j j ear for less than 80 cents and not' ) lose money. .Yet the farmers who arej dumping their cotton on the market | right now and allowing the specula-. tors to rob them on price and grade | are not receiving mbore than 18 cents "for it. They are selling good an.l strict middling for the same price as they get for middling. If a bale has a slight stain they must submit to a reduction on account of that stain ' and yet there are hundreds of mills right here who will pay the full price . for stained cotton. I know, of course, there are some men who are not going to sign this contract. They realize that it is a contract they will have to live up to And that is the very reason why they won't sign it. But the county is going over the top and is going to stand right up among the leaders in this state for this great forward movement. The growers are getting tired of listening to talk of "troubles in the Balkans," "severe storms*somewhere on the Atlantic," "hope of settlement of the coal and rail strikes" and other bunk as the reason for cotton being low in the face of a short crop and a small carry over. They are beginning to realise that the plain truth is that the cotton speculators, and they alone are responsible for the low price tof cotton. They have sold cotton for future delivery and are going to buy the cotton of the farmer at a cheap price so that they may make millions on those future sales at the expense AT* of the cotton farmers who have gone G?- In debt, fought the boll weevil and worked themselves and families 14 * hours a day to make this crop.

Spens, vice president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, who was named today as federal fuel distributor under the new coal distribution and anti-profiteering acfi, the *pifesident < declared that if the enthusiastic attention of the railroads could be stimulated for a month on the movement of coal and handling of empties "we could solve the coal situation not only as to ample supply, but prices would be quickly readjusted." The president suggested that Mr. Spens take up with the governors of the various estates the question of the prevention of extortion as the new act is limited to coal moving in interstate commerce only. "The federal government," President Harding said, "is loath to under taice to tlx detinite prices for coal, because of the objectionable character of such intervention in peace time, because of the difficulty in arriving at fair prices without giving undue favor to some and to loss to others and also because of the incompleteness of any authority which is only supplementary to state action. On the other hand, * wish you to set up such agencies as will vigorously follow up individuals using, facilities of interstate commerce who are exacting extortion, as defined in the act, in order that we may have relief from such practices at the earliest moment." Arrangements for the distribution and control of anthr.*icite prices, tin president declared, have been satisfactorily established in cooperation with state authorities and operators and he added, the first activities of the new fuel agency should be directed to the extension of the cooperative arrangements with the railway*, bituminous coal producnig and consuming communities and the state authoritis* set us by Henry B. "SSthe volunteer federal fuel distributor. Mr. Spens said tonight he was as yet unprepared to announce definite plans for the administration of his new office but he invited the cooperation of the entire public to the solution of the coal situation. Cooperation of the consumer, he asserted, was as important as that of the carrier and added his appeal to the plea sent out by the chamber of commerce of the United States that purchasei: of coal under present conditions be | confined closely to current needs and that there be no 'accumulation of stocks of coal moving under contract or otherwise. "If all consumers of coal?whether domestic or indnaf.risl" Mr Snona said, "will calmly consider this ap-1 peal and will cooperate as suggested not only will their current needs be taken care of but the result will be reflected quickly in the fair price of coal, which, today, in many sections of the country manifestly exceeds a fair profit basis/' Of Interest to Baptists At the meeting of the Baptist patrons and representatives from the various churches in Union county held yesterday, to consider the best plans tor furthering the reenforcement of the 76 million campaign, the following resolution was passed: "Resolved that we, the executive committee and pqstors of the Union County Baptist association, called together to consider the demunds of the 76 Million Campaign, do heartily endorse the reinforcement campaign this fall, and do hereby put ourselves on record as favoring a full consideration of the matter on next Thursday at the association and the formulating of plans for a thorough reeanyass of every church during the month of October." ? By way of carrying out the provisions of the above resolution it is urged that every church send a full delegation of its most progressive and adtive members to the association which meets with Mon-Aetna church Thursday, Sept. 28. This matter is of tremendous importance, and it Is hoped that every church will give heed to the above request. Edw. S. Reeves, Chairman. Miss Mary FerrgusettTof Washington, D.

The Angora cabinet, at M a meeting at Smyrna, is expected to it declare whether the Kemalists will await the peace conference proposed tl by the powers or take matters in its fc own hands and invade Thrace. France is expected to exert renewed pressure to keep the Turks from hostile action ci which would jeopardize their present sc .extremely favorable position. th lo London, Sept. 22 (By the Associated pi Press).?The question of peace or war di in the Near East seems to turn to- a n'ght, first, upon whether the ques- cr tion ot the future status of Thrace can p< be kept separate and distinct from the m question of neutrality and freedom of the Dardanelles, and, second, whether ly the guns begin to speak before the ne- w gotiatiens between the allied repre- jn sentatives in Paris have ended. pi While there is not the slightest di- n( munition in the announced determine- m tion of the British government to 8t uphold the neutrality of the straits of the Dardanelles a very significant fe semi-official state ent issued this cj. evening seems to indicate some modi- w fication of the British policy and its 8t attitude toward Greece in Thrace, ^ which it may be assumed Is the out- jz come of the Paris negotiations in aI which Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary, participated. pj This statement declared she was ^ seeking nothing for herself but that she would insist on neutralization of ^ the Dardanelles and free passage of t the waterway under the league of n? uons or some otner international organization. All other uestlons were secondary. The negotiations in Paris have not j yet been completed, bat according to advices received tonight from th? French capital Premier Poincare is hopeful that by tomorrow a formula ^ will be found acceptable to all parties which will enable the allies to sraid a collective note to the Turks w' suggesting a conference to arrange a 0 peace between the Turks and the J Greek,. . F <juOne?o( the strongest-charges made c against Premier Lloyd George's Near ^ Eastern policy, especially t>y the Lab->r party has been its pro-Greek char- ^ acter. The Labor party announced that it was unwilling to engage the c' nation in a war for the fulfillment of Greek ambitions. It has been com- , mented upon as strange that awter v' the premier's conference with the la. ^ bor leaders on Wednesday no report of the speeches made were published bv either side to the conference. This silence, especially on the part of the Laborites, was considered in e' some quarters to indicate that some a explanation or concession to the view- tl point of labor was made by the pre- tl mier. A possible explanation of the t: silence is thought by some tonight to h be found, in the authoritative state- n ment made public during the evening clearly intimating that the quesion of C Thrace may be regarded as a secondary matter and susceptible of arrangement by negotiations. According to Constantinople ad- P vices received here Mustapha Kemal a Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader, a demands within 48 hours guarantees tl for the evacuation of Thrace by the a Greeks. On the other hand the Greek o government expressed the strongest determination to hold Thrace at all S costs. France is supposed to be willing to see the Turks back in eastern Thrace, and if an agreement between the British and French governments p on this matter is reached it is be- a lieved Greece will not be likely to op- e pose the views of the united entente, g The foreign office has no con firm a- n tion of the report that Kemal has 0 fixed a time limit of 48 hours for the a carrying out of the required "guaran- g tees of any advance movement by the Kemalist troops. The government, however, is continuing its preparations for any eventuality, but at the same time declaring it has no desire to precipitate hostilities. j. According to the view expressed in official quarters, the issue lies in ? Kernel's hands. There is no secret 8 about the strength of the force that 8 the Nationalist leader is able to put 8 in the field.\ No woight is attached _ to alarmipt and exaggerated estimates of that strength. it n r w??i LOOR FALLS IN 1 BURYNG CHILDREN; Pittsburg, Sept. 23.?Fifty-eight uldren are writhing in agony is re>unted in the story of the collapse cf ?e Foyer Strand theatre yesterday.

ALLIES MEET TO PLAN FOR PEACE Paris, Sept. 23 (By the Associated Press).?Prospects foj peace in th?Near East is distinctly brighter as the French and British cabinets met to consider tentative conditions of settlement drawn up by Allied representatives here. London, Sept. 23 (B> the Associated Press).?Notwithstanding assurances from Paris of prospects of peace in the Near East, ugly reports continue to come from Constantinople. Several more units of the Atlantic fleet have been ordered to prepare for service in the Dardanelles. Constantinople, Sept. 28 (By the Associated Press).?The French government has sent a wireless to Mustapha Kemal Passa requesting him not to take any action until the arrival of a special French emissary, s > it was learned here. Paris, Sept. 22 (By the Associated Press).?Limited assurances involving the return of Constantinople, eas'. cm Thrace and Adrianople to Turkey, were tentatively agreed upon today t.1 a meeting of the conference of allied representatives and will be formally considered by the French and British cabinets tomorrow. Approval of these conditions of peace wolud mean a definite end t.> the Near East crisis and, it is hoped, wolud remove r.U possibility of a clash between the British and Turkish Nationalists. To meet the insistence of the British that no claims of tre Angora government sho be adulmfwy gora government should be accepted :n advance of a peace conference, today's plan would be subject to further discussions and approval by a full peace conference. Taking the socalled Nationalist pac? as a basis, the allied representativediscussed for nearly four hours the Turkish demands. Lord Curzon, British foreign secretary, expressed some doubt as to whether his government would agree with any of the conditions of the Nationalists in advanc of a peace conference, but he finally consented to forward the plan to London tonight. At first Lord Curaon opposed even tentative approval of. ttjg Turkish demands before all the in vited powers discussed them around the peace table, but the Insistence op M. I'oincare, the French premier, won him over to the extent of accepting them contingent on their full indorsement by the British cabinet. M. Poineare favored out and out approval of all the Kemalist demand-, but it is realized in French government circles that the best that can be hoped for is limited acceptance by Great Britain. The general scheme for peace would contain the following points: Constantinople, Adrianople and eastern Thrace up to the River Ma -itza would be handed back to Tur Key, subject to the acceptance of a bread demilitarized zone along the ml r* i ? v . nntcmii mugurian ana urecian frontiers. Internationalization of the straits of the Dardanelles under the leag of nations or some other international hody. Maintenance of a permanent allied military force at Gallipoli. Rigid treaty clauses tnsurtng tlv protection of the minorities in Turkey. It is probable the British force a' Chnnak would remain there until a pence treaty is signed between Turkep and Greece. The British also would further limit the size of the Turkish force in eastern Thrace ' insure peace to that part of Europe Premier Poincare desired to ha certain of the concessions finally approved today so thai Franklin Bout! Ion, who negotiated the Franco-Turkish agreement, might proceed immediately to Smyrna in an endeavor to prevent Mustapha Kemal Pasha's committing any overt act which wou! I cause hostilities between the Nationalists and the British. M. Bouillan -s now expected to remain In Paris until tomorrow evening. If the two cabinets approve of the plan as outlined by the conference today, M. Bouillon will present it to Mustapha Kemal Pasha and try to obtain a promise from him that th-? Turkish forces will remain in'Asiatic Turkey until a peace conference meets. It was further decided by the conference today to hold the conference at Venice unless the Turks object to this place. If possible the opening session of the conference would be held October 10 or 12.
