Progressive Athens Hanker Shows How
t Southern Banks Are Helping Cotton Situation
Farmer Must Do His Share and Warehouse His Cotton if Full
Measure of Relief to Be Afforded the South---Banks Can
Get Funds on Warehoused Cotton---They Can Get None on
Cotton Under the Trees.
Athens. Ga.—President John J. Wil
kins, of the Georgia National Bank of
Athens, in an interview with the Ath
ens Herald, declares:
"We have some market and can sell
in limited way, but we have not a
normal market. If we did, and at
normal prices, we would not need the
further advances. We are, however,
being able to sell some, and while the
prices are exceedingly low, so far ns
it goes it is relieving the situation
daily. The sales being only moderate,
with the low price, it does not relieve
fast enough, making the necessity for
further advancing to relieve entirely.
The conditions are. however, im
proving all the time, and in the end
will work out to the advantage of the
whole country. In my opinion, the
$ 15,000,000 cotton pool will in a short
time begin putting $25,000,000 to $30,-
000,000 in further advances in Geor
gia. The regional banks will soon be
organized and that bank will be abl?
to lend to its members, who in turn
can make advances in the sum of some
$20,000,000. Besides this the nation il
banks in Georgia, together with three

rounties in Tennessee, including Ham.-
ilton county, In which Chattanooga >3
located, have already issued additional
circulation and made advances to the
extent of about $7,000,000, and they
have the right to issue some $10,000,000
more money. This latter amount, how- :
ever, can, in the main, only be issued
against cotton. In other words, the
national banks in the section named
have the right, under the Aldrich-
Yreeland act. with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, to issue
some $17,000,000 of additional money.
Of this sum $7,000,000 can be issued
against commercial paper, and under
the law the balance, or $10,000,000,
must lie Issued against bonds and other
securities, Including cotton. The banks,
as quickly as possible, Issued In relief
of the situation all they could on com
mercial paper.
In the main, the banks In the cotton
states do not carry bonds and have
none. Therefore the remaining $lO,-
000,00 must he issued against cotton.
The banks stand ready to issue It so
far as needed, but they can only do
so with tiie cotton in the warehouses
They cannot, with it in the country
under the trees. They must have the
proper receipts to enable them to do
so.
The farmers can help themselves by
bringing the cotton to town and selling
it where they can get a satisfactory
Where they cannot obtain this
satisfactory price they should place
the cotton in warehouses. If they will
see the warehouses, merchants owe
the bank SI,OOO. They will be made to
take care of it. To illustrate: Sup
pose the farmer owes to the mer
chants SI,OOO and the merchants owes
the hank SI,OOO. The bank will be glad
to lend the farmer SI,OOO on the cot
ton to pay tile merchant. As soon as
this is done It is In shape for the
bank to issue SI,OOO additional money,
which it can advance to some other
farmer on his cotton who may not owe
any bills, but wants the advance to
spend, which would make new busi
ness, and the bank cpuld issue an
other SI,OOO against the last loan and
make another advance to some other
farmer and so on.
But none of It can be done unless
the cotton is put in shape so that it
can oe. I would he glad if you wII
stress daily the importance of the
farmer bringing to town the cotton
and selling what they can get satis
factory prices for and storing balanco
in warehouses against what they can
get some advance, or otherwise ar
range In some way to pay the man
they owe and in that manner get tho
cotton in shape, when it will be of
some aid to the situation. It is value
less to any aid while in the country.
It will be understood from the above
that no part of the $10,000,000 addi
tional money, nor no part of the $25,-
000,000 cotton pool fund can be had
until the cotton is available in ware
houses to make that the basis in both
cases.
The banks are doing all they can *4
relievo the situation and the farmers
should do likewise, and they can at
least bring the cotton to warehouses
If all will pull together a short time
things will be better.”
M’DUFFIE’S FINEST
AT THOMSON FAIR
Though Not As Large a Show
As Some Others, County Fair
is Complete, Lacking None of
Essentials, and Will Prove In
spiration to Farmers.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Thomson, Ga. —Progressive farmers
of McDuffie county and their Indus
trious wives, the most enterprising
business firms and the women of
Thomson and the Thomson public
schools have combined to put on here
this week a county fair that is worthy
In every respect.
While not so comprehensive as some
other county agricultural and live stock
expositions held in other places, the
McDuffie County Fair is lacking in
none of the essentials of a successful
show. What there is here assembled
In the several departaments is splen
did, and as do other shows of the kind,
the McDuffie County Fair furnishes
an excellent object lesson and at a
time when such lessons are needed to
inspire, encourage and direct the cot
ton farmer toward better things than
all cotton or too much cotton will bring
him.
Especial attention has been given by
the McDuffie County Fair Association
and those who are behind the fair,
the officers and directors, to live stock,
particularly horses and mules. Thurs
day was live stock day.
Some of the Showings.
In the long row of stables are shown
a good number of county-raised mare 3
and mules, a pair of fine mule colts
raised by Mr. Tom Adams, three in a
stable raised by Mr. J. 8. Dyer, and
others raised by Mr. J. R. Prlntup.
Among the showlngß there are soma
splendid animals.
magnificent Jersey and Englln,
bull is shown by Mr. J. Ansley and a
lino Jersey bull by Mr. J. 8. Dysr.
Mr. R. E. L. Evans, who is secretary
of the fair association, is showing
some of his sheep. Mr. John Johnson
ban several pens of Berkshire hogs on
exhibition.
How to Raise Hogs.
A striking contrast by which is
demonstrated the advantage to be
gained by scientific feeding of hogs
is shown by Mr. Ernest Hesse, who
has brought to the fair three Chester
pigs. Of the same litter, two of these
are each more than twice the size of
the third. The two have been prop
erly fed, the one has been raised In
the old way—the "root hog or die
way.”
This simple lesson Is attracting at
tention.
Educational Department.
The exhibit of the Thomson public
6chools occupies a big space In one of
the buildings and Is one of the most
creditable I have seen anywhere. The j
work of the several grades, from tho
primary department through the high
schools, is attractively set forth. Par
ticular stress is laid upon the manual
training and the domestic science de
partments.
Mr. N. E. Ware is superintendent of
the educational department.
The Woman's Club of Thomson has
in charge the woman’s departmen',
perhaps the best of all included in the
fair and complete in every detail. This
department is a show in itself.
Agriculture.
Splendid lisplays of varied farm
products and home products of the di
versified farmer are made by the Hill
Top Farm, the Sweet Home Farm and
Farm tale, three well known planta
tions of this county which are operated
along the most progressive lines, and
though there are other individual ex
hibits, the displays mentioned are of
themselves sufficient to prove that
rather than depending upon cotton
money, farmers of this section can pro
duce at home practically every good
crop and feed crop grown anywhere
in the United States, and produce them
with greater profit to themselves.
In home economies the women of
Thomson and McDuffie county excell,
ns shown by the most creditable dis
plays of canned fruits and vegetables,
jellies, preserves, pickles and sauces.
Sir. Ira E. Farmer Is president, Mr.
K. E. L. Evans, secretary, and Mr.
C. F. Hunt, treasurer of the McDuffie
County Fair Association. These gen
tlemen, and the directors, who are the
leading business men of Thomson and
the most progressive farmers of Mc-
Duffie, deserve much credit for their
1914 fair, which began Tuesday and
will run through Friday.
Bearden's Band of Augusta is fur
nishing the .music for the Thomson
show, which is being well attended.
DEMOCRATS URGED TO VOTE.
In view of the fact that the dem
ocratic nominees for the United
States have opposition we regard
it as of the utmost importance that
a full Democratic vote be polled

all in your power to aid us In get
ting out the full vote of the demo
cratic party in your county in
the election which takes place on
Tuesday, November third.
We urge upon you the especial
importance of polling a full vote
for our Senatorial nominees, Hon.
Hoke Smith and Hon. Thos. W.

Messrs. McClure and Hutchens.
Your aid in this matter will be
greatly appreciated.
Very tuly yours,

Chairman State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.

Secretary, State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
