Address to Farmers.
I
By President Smith of Cotton
Association?Bankers
Urged to Help Holders of
Cotton.
K ITftr l)>n C ? i : '
A v. i.id mat mutt since tne
first of October have I beeu able
to attend to any matters at all;
having been confine1! in the bospita)
since the Atlanta meeting.
Tbe rest and treatment, I hope,
have permanently restored my
health. It was a complete breakdown
from^overwora.
I congratulate the farmers on
the stand which thty have taken
in the midst of the trying circumstances,
the manner in
which they have withstood the
financial stringency and held to
their cot on. The situation
seems to he one in which there
is a tacK of confidence on the
part ot those who h ?ve money
in investing it in legitimate enterprises.
If thoHein South Carolina,
as well as i i ihe other
States, who are financially able,
would deposit their money in
the banks or, at least, instruct
banks to lend money on cotton
the situation would be vastly relieved.
"From the bank statement
published today, there set ma to
be no lack of money, and now is
the time?if ever there was one
? when those who have the in
tercet of the South and of the
farmers at heart and who have
confidence in the resources ol
their country to come to the
rescue of the producers of the
raw material and aid them in
winning the fight which they
have carried on so valiantly under
such adverse circumstances.
I
The necessity lor a concert ?>f
action, for a thorough understanding
between debtor and
creditor has arrived and there
diould be some plan outlined
^ whereby the owners of cotton
may be relieved from pressing
obligations by the placing ol
their cotton as a collateral se
curity.
l Are the banks of the Stab
j going to sit idly by and raak<
j no effort to cooperate with tin
holders of cotton in meeting th?
emergency which is upon us? I
the crop wore not so short, am
it circumstances did not justify
" the stand taken by tin a. iiers
then this plea would b^'innec s
sary. Hut every factor in lh<
j case is but cumulative testimony
i that cotton is fully worth tha
8 for which they are fighting am
t that for which they propose ti
- fight*
a In a few days I hope to b
e able to give out a more extendoi
r interview, also to give notice o
1 our Slate meeting, which is t
y be held early in January,"
