Certificates at Gaffney?Farmers
Holding Cotton.
Gaffney special i.i the News
and Courier: The three banks
here have decided to issue $50,
000 worth of Clearing Uouse certificates
to relieve the financial
situation. These certificates will
have to be redeemed in March.
There is a stubborn fight on ba
iweon me merchant and the tarmer.
The farmers are holding
to their cotton with a bulldog
grip, although a little cotton is
being scared out of the weaker
of them. The issuing of these
certificates it is hoped will a d
the farmer in holding.
Abbeville Farmer Loses.
Heavily by Fire.
Anderson special in the Columbia
State: Mr. M. M. Madd?>x, a
far.nor living near Donalds, has
had the misfortune of losing by
fire nine bales of cotton, his buggy
and harness, 400 bundles of
fodder, 35 bushels ot corn, a sack
?f covion seed a.eai, 160 pound-1
of hulls and a number of bushels
of peanuts. It is thought that the
fire was of incendiary origin and
the loss falls heavily upon Mr.
Maddotc, as he only saved one
bale of cotton. He carried no insurance.
Five hales of cotton beloaging
to Mr. J. M. Clarke, a prominent
farmer of Anderson county,
caught fire on a wagon today as
it was being hauled to this city
to be marketed. The fire was diecovered
ah the wagon was passing
the Gluck mills and the bales
were dumped in a mill pond
there. The loss by damage is
about $100. A white man named
Kvans was driving the team and
he denies that he was smoking.
