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.
