FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30. 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 “ALCO CLOTHES” Are trade winners to ns because they fit, style and satisfy ever the inost hard-to-please men and young men.

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.
