The South’s
Best Currency
A banker of DaGrange, Ga., asked
if his town would issue Clearing
House Certificates, answered: “We
have a better wav/ We will advise
and influence our people to sell a
thousand bales of cotton a week, in
six weeks that will give us Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars, all the
additional currency we need; this
will leave our farmers with as much
more cotton on which to speculate on
the price.”
Why is this not an example worth
while for every community in the
South?
One of our- customers in Fort
Gaines, Ga., gave me his cash sales
for last Friday and Saturday as
Twelve Hundred Dollars. Evidently
that town, too, believes in making the
best use of its quick assets.
Cotton is the Universal Currency;
growing it is our talent---not exactly
our one talent, yet if we fail to use it
for circulation, are we not putting
ourselves in the class of the unprofit
able servant who buried his one and
only?
The merchant or farmer who owns
cotton has the right to hold it for any
price he thinks it will bring. Mark,
we say what he owns. But, if per
chance he owes money, is it wise to
withdraw that much from the general
circulation?
It is well to remember that the
world’s record of low priced cotton
followed the panic of ’93; conditions
today are different. Unless there
comes a commercial and industrial
depression there is every reason to
believe that the present price of the
South’s great staple will obtain
throughout the season.
- -Therefore, while far from a proph
et, it would seem the part of wisdom
for the thinking men of each commu
nity to advise their friends and fellow
farmers to get the benefit of present
prices, so far at least as will pay off
matured obligations, then hold the
surplus in cotton if they prefer that
investment to a bank deposit, draw
ing good interest, which his banker
or merchant today will cheerfully pay.
Your merchant’s credit'is the bul
wark you may need to make the next
crop. Help him to sustain it by con
servative, com monsense co-operation.
Now 7 —
Better still; if we could enter the
new year determined and equipped to
make the next crop on a cash basis,
the South would not only dictate the
price of-cotton, but in a few 7 years be
come the banker of the world. At
least that is the opinion of
Yours truly,
