Reserve Banks Should Open At Earliest Possible Date Southern Bankers Are Particularly Anxious for an Early Opening Because of Assistance They Might Give in Taking Care of Cotton Crop. (By Associated Press.) "WASHINGTON Oct. 2!. Director; and governors of the 12 federal re serve banka today refused to sup port the proposal of Secretary Mc Adoo to open the new banking sys tem for business November 16. Ry a vote ot 37 to 35 they recommended that the opening be set for Novem ber 30. The action has no binding effect upon'the reserve board or upon Mr. Mc Ad im, for the currency act gives the secretary authority to open the banka when he believes they aro ready to do business. It waa evi dent tonight that members of the board were not pleased with the rec ommendation of the banks, and it is possible a meeting of (he board with in the next fow days will develop sufficient sentiment to bring a vote asking tho secretary to name a date earlier than November 30. wlactittalon of tho opening waa fatten up immediately after tb.-* bankers returned from the White House, where President Wiloon de clared hla belief that the best thing for the country waa to open the banks at the earliest possible date. Borne of the Southern bankers were particularly anxious for an early opening because of the assistance the federal banks might give ia taking care ot the cotton crop;_? It was said tonight the director* would! BO home tomorrow end beg!" work preliminary to opening. If thc reserve board later Ands tint there la every reason to believe A simul taneous opening on November 16 or November 20 can be accomplish**! tn spite of opinions to thc contrary ex pressed here today, the date will bc fixed. The board already has voted to open all the banks at the same time, but it is possible that this de cision will bc changed If any ape cial reasons are discovered to make opening on the part of the banks be fore thc rest, desirable. The conference today devoted much time to hearing reports of commit tees. The one in charge ot a defini tion of commercial paper, regarded by many bankers as of first import ance, recommended in a general waj a broad definition of such paper, but decided to continue Ita work further. lt won't do for the hens to do nothing but cat and accumulate fat in cold weather.

SAYS THAT IT IS FEASIBLE FOR WORK WILL PICK COTTON Has Been Demonstrated tn Go? lumbia and Has Actually Been Able to Deliver Goods. For sevor.il days W. K. Dana of Westbrook, Maine, has been in An derson county as the guest of J. J. Pr?t well and other friends. Mr. Dana ls In the South for the purpose of testing and demonstrating his cotton i iekiriK machine and indications are that Mr. Dana now has a machine to deliver the goods. While in An derson he talked very interestingly of the possibilities of the m nebine in vented by him. "I feel very happy today, because I believe thut 1 have succeeded after 25 years' work." said Mr. Oana. Just bet?re leaving Columbia for Fair wold farifiB, where his cotton har vesting machine was to be given a tryout. The demonstration was given In a large cotton fluid, well fruited, ?t Fairwold and was under the di rection of James H. Knowlton of Westbrook, expert engineer of tho Knowlton Machino company. Tho machino which has been built by Mr. Dana in one of the COO cottm pick era that have been patented under tho 1'nlted States laws. Mr. Dana believes that ho has solved thc prob-1 lem that has so Ir.ng baffled the far mers of the South. He said yester day that the cotton planters would no longer have to worry about cot ton pickers. In a great many ways Mr. Dana has n right to feel prr.ud of his in vention. Ile has taken a long siep in tho right direction and his ma chine has many commendable quali ties. It will pick cotton. It will pick cotton quickly. "Mechanically it is all right. It will certainly pick cotton, lt wlU do all that lt ls claimed. ' However, I can say nothing as to its economi eal value. I don't know the cost of op?ration." said W. W. Long. State agent of the United States farm lemonst ration work, who was among .1M spectator at the demonstration yesterday. Commissioner Watson was among thoBO to investigate thc machine. He .bought the machine one of the most practical ever bull*, but objected to ?ho trash In Borne o? the cotton. "That 'a one obstacle that you must over come to have a successful cotton licker," said the commissioner, af ter pointing to some trash in the nachlne. In answer to this objec 'ion. Mr. Dana said that expert help vas required to operate the machine, ?nd that when pickers became nc ustomed to thc use of the hose thc .otton was practically free of dead leaves! .A careful test was given yesterday ia to the mechanical possibilities of .he machine. No demonstrations vere made as to the cost of opera ion. Mr. Dana claims that the ma ?hlne is much cheaper than the hand tickers. The machine which was exhibited ?esterdr.y has been gradually assem iled by Mr. Dana. E-ach part has 'leen tested and Improvements have 'leen made from time to time. The machine is not a fair sample of one , that would be found in use on tho ordinary farm. The demonstration machine weighs 6.000 pounds and it has cost to date about $1,600. A uiief description of the machine follows: lt is about 12 feet long, jlght feet high and resembles a trac tion engine. The wheels straddle a cotton row. The machine ls operated by gasoline and an engineer is re quired. There are four tubes or aets of hose. These tubes are about two inches in diameter and on the end of each in a kind of nozzle, reseui- < bling a Are hose. There is a com pressed air engine on the machine which sucks the cotton through the hose. There is a revolving ring in saca hate with small teeth. The noz- ? ?le is applied to a cotton boll. The cotton is immediately sucked rut and carried through the hose to several bags attached tc. the machine. Four pickera operating the nozzlea clean eight rows at a time. It ia claimed that the machine will pick about 2.400 pounds a day. The bolls are picked clean. One-fourth of a gallon of gasoline per hour ls required for the operation of the engine. "I expect to build a three nozzle machine. The engineer can pick when he ia not moving the machine. This machine will weigh about 500 pounds and will not be expensive," said Mr. Dana yesterday.

REGARDING SCHOOLS :HANGE MADE IN HANDUNG ACCOUNTS rO COMBINE ITEMS 3n Account of Crisis, Accounts Are Consolidated in Order to Pei mit Schools Opecmg. A very interesting letter was receiv^ id yesterday by J. B. Felton from the ?ince of the State Superintendent of Education. Mr. Swearingen writes tere to the effect that the present Inancial crisis makes some steps nec essary and he gives his idea for solv ng the problem. The following is .lr. Sweareugen's letter: "The County Board fund for the chools of your county is . derived rom the following sources: "1. The State dispensary balance ?aid out under Act .\o. 566, page 1077 ?tatutes 1912. "2. One half of the one-mill State chool tax of 1913 in accordance with ^ct. No. 131, page 194, Statutes 1913? "3. Such small fractional sums col ecte,! by the County Treasurer as annot he readily or conveniently landled except as a county board und*. "4. The county building fund equal o 5 per cent of the proceeds of the hree-inill constitut'onal tax for the urrent year. "The making of four separate and listinct accounts from these four terns is a needless and profitless nultinllcatlon of tho work. Such a dis ribution alwaya complicates the an u?a! report of tho County Superln endent to no advantage. "Since the law directing the ap )ortioning of the State dispensary bal- ' ince restricted the expenditure of this noney to four years, it has been Im practicable to combine these items be- I ore now. The schoolastlc year 1911- ! 12, 1913-14 and 1914-15 cover thia luadrennial. "I, therefore, recommend that all nc Hems of your County Board fund >o consolida, ed under one account. This account should be given a page n the County Superintendent's led- | ;er, and should be handled as the ac count for each separate district ls dandled. It should embrace receipts ina expenditures. The receipts should l.e made up of rill cash balancea no.v :u hpnd in the County Board fund, tr-? pether with all additions between July 1, 1914. and June 30, 1915. The ex penditures should be made up of all ratlays, whether in separate districts jr in the county at large. "Ir the present financial criais, I b*r;'*tf authorize the immediate con solidation of these accounts in order o permit the use of this money In opening and running the schools this 'all. In my opinion it is not advisable ! >r desirable to bold this money In the .reasury while the schools are clcjs- 1 Hi for the lack of funds. Moreover. ' his simplification of accounts should ighten tho work both of the County i Superintendent and the County Treaa trer, besides facilitating the prepar- . ition of your own annual report at j ho end of the year. I ''Please write me the amount of cash n your county treasurer's hands for ? ichool purposes. This total should In- \ dude: 1. All district balancea. , 2. All unapportloned funda. I 3. All moneys paid into the county ; reasury for school purposes since ] Tuly 1. 1914. 4. The sum available from the \ bounty Board fund. < "The taw nlainly prohibits any < chool district from running in debt < Mease co-operate with the office bv \ efuaing to approve any war rar * that I rill create an overdraft in the dis- ; rict funda I "The postponement of taxes now i eems Impracticable. Such a course rould automatically close the schools I n practically every district. The child- < en cannot afford to lose a year, and I ursre you to employ every energy to oalntain the standard of AtMoienov i ?tabllshed during 1913-14.
