Wednesday, Sept. 6, 1893. Tbe Kind of Money that We Receive. This Is the sort of money which Mr. J. Allen Smith paid to the Press and Banner office yesterday evening, We copy the wording in j full, without in any way attempting to copy tbe form and style of the same: No. 1. Abbeville Mercantile Association Certificate. Series A. Abbeville, S. C. This certifies. That the persons and firms composing the Abbeville Mercantile Association have deposited wltb J. Allen Smith. BeDj. S. Barnwell and Wm. H. Parker, Trustees of said Mercantile Association, securities to the value of One Dollar and Fifty day of August, 1893. and will be received In payment of debts by the Banks and Merchants of the Town of Abbeville. J. Allen Smith, BenJ. s. Barnwell, Wm. H. Parker, Trustees. The above money Is current Lere now, and will be accepted by our business men in all their transactions. The bank receives it on deposit, the Building and Loan Associations will sell their property and receive it In payment. In fact, we know of no line of business in which It will not be eagerly sought. Persons who desire to borrow it mast apply to the Trustees, wltb whom the necessary collaterals must be left. The FhII Trade. Our merchants are making active preparations for the Fall trade. The scarcity of money and the high price of bacon in the Spring setonr people to eoonom!z>ng, t.nd as a result , their indebtedness Is small. Their energy has been abundantly rewarded by abundant crops of all sorts. The Javorable seasons have combined to produce the best crops that we have had In many years. ') The county, it seems to us, will make corn enough for man and beast, and the yield of cotton Is all that good seasons and attentive labor can make It. These conditions make a hopeful outlook for business generally, and especially at Ab bevllle, where Ibe railroad shops are Id coarse of erection, and which, when finished, will bring many new people to our community, thereby quickening all the arteries of trade, and inspiring new hopes In the hearts of all. The outlook for Abbeville Is most cheering, and all are looking hopefully to the future. The Wlnthrop Advertising. At the rlBk of being considered Impertinent we again ask Professor Johnson and Mr. Robwell T. Logan to make a full and explicit statement of the expenditure of money for advertising Wlnthrop examinations. If the expenditure was faithfully and carefully made, we see no reason why they should not state the names of the papers, the number ol insertions in each,and the amount paid to each for the advertisement. Judging from what transpired at the Press Association, aided by what Professor Johnson said In bis letter to us, we believe tliat neither Professor Johnson nor Mr. Roswell T. Logan will ever make the statement, for the simple reason that we believe that statement would noi look well in print. If It is all rigbt, they could publish It. The public,like ourself, are left to draw their own conclusions. Gei tlemeu,lf your transaction Is all right, show up. Cotton and Warehouse*. A proposition in various quarters 1b for planters to store their cotton and draw on It. The plan does not commend Itself to the Press and Banner. It seems better to sell the cotton as soon as It Is ready for market, and In such quantities as will supply the demand for money. The best Informed man In this country cannot safely predict the future price of cotton, and the wise farmer will not be mixed up with speculations and warehouses, where bo has no control of his own product. Tbe farmer who goes Into speculation on cotton nearly always beta on Its going higher, when the fact Is, It goes down as often as It goes up. The expenses are ever present. Don't go Into any speculation and aon't pledge your cotton for tbe needed money?better sell than to give warehouse keepers and monled middle men a chance at you. To Believe the Strain for Money. The Abbeville Mercbantlle Association have concluded to issue "certificate*" which a large majority of our people have determined to accept as money In the ordinary transactions with each other. Tbe "certlfl8a cates" will be received In a day or two and will be Issued, like money, to such persons as are willing to put up the necessary collaterI*'-/.! ale. Tbe certificates are redeemable on or beI'yi fore January 1, 18SM, and it is thought they " will do much to relieve the atlngenoy in tbe money market. If you owe anything at the Prees and Banner office for subscription, advertising, or Job work, Just bring the required | amount of certificates and the debt will be i settled. Thanks to All. Darin? the editor's two weeks absence at the Fair the Press and Banner was left in the ?*" bands of the printers and its correspondents. Tbelr work was most satisfactory done, and we return thanks to all.
