expected awing ..to the extended
cabinet crisis last month, inform
ed the foreign office today, that she
"would be ready on that date. ,
? The French g?rerma?Bt wiH have
five representatives at the open

whom is quite likely to be Pre

few days only.
The Itahan note announcing
readiness to proceed on April 10
'cause? mild surprise at the French
foreign office, as it had been unoffi
cially said that Italy would not be
willing to enter the conference dur
ing Holy Week, regardless of

news is greeted -with satisfaction,
sc& it is realized that the problems
'to be discussed are momentous and
imperative.. It was officially stated
that should a request for delay
come- from; any o^utrter, France
wou-ld. acquiesce -after Great Brit
ain -ha i agreed, but would not en
dorse-s?*ch- request previous to its

Gillam, deputy sheriff, and well
known local'man of this city, was
painfully kicked by a mule today
about 1 o'clock, at a small negro

seems that Mr.. Gillam went there
to serve some papers and secure
the mole, over which a mortgage
existed. When he arrived, a ne
gro woman, who was at home,
raised a lot. of fuss, and when Mr.
Gillam went into the lot or yard,
the mule kicked Mr. Gillam and
would have' probably killed him.
bur. he had presence of mind to
roll under the water trough. Mr.
Gillam was brought to the city at
once and given treatment.

! tional conference on communica
| tions which is considering the finai
? allocation of former German lines,
j The proposal was not made pub
, lie but will be transmitted by
I members of the conference to their
i respective governments for review.
Settlement of the former German
i cable lines in the Pacific was af
i fected by - distribution of those
! lines among the United Stares.
; Japan and The Netherlands at the
j time of the conference on limita
; tion of armaments, but that allo
cation was made contingent upon
; division of the three former Ger
1 man cable lines in the Atlantic,
j Italy reserving the right to ac
\ knowledge distribution of the Pa
j cific cables until her claims in the
: Atlantic lines had been met.
It was understood that the Ital
| ian government insisted upon re
ceiving one-fifth of all the former
German cables, either in kind or in
j monetary value, cash settlement to
! be applied toward the consrruetion
I of a eablo line from Genoa to the
; Azores. Interest of the United
j Stares and Japan was largely met
j by the allocation to them in the
I Pacific, while Great Britain has
' been operating one of the former
I German cables between Penzance,
'? England and Halifax. The French
j government has control of the re
maining' two German cables in the

BANKERS TO
SUPPORT MAR
KETING PLAN
Rock Hill Institutions Advise
Farmers of Soundness in
Principle
Rock Hill, March ?.?That thc
Cooperative Marketing association
is a #00(1 thing for the cotton
growers of the state is the belief
of the three Rock Hiil banks and
in taking: this position they are
backed up by other banking in
stitutions in the county. The fol
lowing open letter to the cotton
growers of the county was issued
today by the National Union bank.
Citizens' Bank and Trust company
and Peoples' National bank:
"We have thought it well to pub
licly answer numerous inquiries
reaching us with regard to the cot
ton marketing association now in
process of organization in this
county and state.
"We believe that cooperative
marketing is sound in principle, no
longer experimental, but on the
contrary, entirely practical; It is
now being successfully operated in
many states in the union. Assum
ing that the management is honest
and capable, such an association
would, we. believe, prove of im
mense advantage to coton growers
generally, whose present marketing
methods are admittedly bad. The
warehouse receipts of the cotton
marketing" association in other
stares are accepted by bankers
generally as security for loans.
"No cotton grower of York coun
ty need fear that he would weaken
his financial standing with the lo
cal hanks by joining the proposed
cooperative marketing association.
The plan of the association, provid
ing for an orderly marketing of the
cotton crop during the current cot
ton year, appeals to us as wise, and
would undoubtedly te to stabil
ity of price. We wish to express
our cordial sympathy with this *>nd
all' other movements o<* our far uer
friends to advance the agricultural
interests of York county and South
Carolina, and pledge the fullest co
operation consistent with sound
banking."
