1 TTV SKNT THIS STATU \lrr.ulv S;?ys Treasury Department Kalawe to Follow Soon. Washington, Sept. 17.- Ropres^ntative Lever, as a result of a con ,ir once with treasury department officials concerning the complaints of South Carolina bankers that they could not get hold of any emergency ccurrency, received today a letter 'from W. P. Maiburn, assistant secretnrv of rhp Federal reserve board, de claring t'r.at out of the 36 banks forming the State Currency association 23 had applied for emergency currency : ' under the amended Aldrich-Vreeland act, and that they have asked for only j $1,304,750 of the total o1' $6,072,000 j available for the national banks of i I South Carolina. Of the applications made SI.301.000 ' has been approved and $64?.OP(5 of this has been actully shipped, the remainder being in process of printing and likely to be shipped within a j week. >YiJl rr?o Publicity. Tomorrow Representative Rags-; dale, a member of the banking aud i ' i currency committee, will offer an amendment, prepared by himself and Mr. Lever, to the emergency amendment, which has already passed the senate, providing that the secretary! o:' the treasury shall require banks ! * ' /-> VI fr A A ' 1 ??

V/iiw/uxauuu in nirz vjl tuc i "banks. Messrs. Ragsdale and Lever hold that if these statements are published the' force of public sentiment in * the communities affected win compel the banks, if not disposed voluntarily i to do so. to carry 'out the intent of j the government t'r.at the emergency i currency shall be used for tie pur-', poses for which it is being provided, j May Sot Admit State Banks. It is now apparent that the bank-1 ing and currency committee will not ! endorse that feature of the Hoke j Smith amendment to the emergency ; act admitting State banks to its priv- ! i'eges directly and removing the 10 per cent, tax on State bank currency. Instead the committee will probably report in favor of the first part of the i Smith amendment, raising the amount ] of commercial assets on which emergency currency may be based to 75 per cent, instead of 30 per cent, as at nrocont VCVUb. 1 I The Federal reserve system will probably be in operation by October 15, and it will afford much more relief, in the opinion of experts, than the Aldrich-Vreeland act, even in the lattpr's ampridpH fnrm TTnHor fhn eral reserve act commercial assets may be accepted even up to 100 per cent, as a basis for currency CALLS MEETING. / . . ITade Stackhonse rails Meeting of South Carolina Division of Southern Cotton Congress. The State. Dillon, Sept. 17.?<Wade Stackhouse, president of the South Carolina division of the Souther .-Cotton congress, has issued the following call: "I hereby call a meeting of the South Carolina division of the Southern Cotton congress to meet at th? T /-> ?-? a! " ? 1 ~ - O ocudsuii ihjlci in ^uiuimua, 5 P- m., Thursday, September 24. The president of each county is asked to be present and in event he can not come, he is asked to name an .alternate to represnt him. Those counties not having an organization are urged to send a representative, as we hope that each of the 44 counties in South Carolina will be represented. We shall be glad to have from each conn i* as iucui.v i trpi eseutauves MS Iflej see fit to send. Our meetings are open to the "public an3 any one interested in the cotton situation is invited to be preser*. "On Thursday, October 1. a meeting is called at the court house, 11 a. in., in each county in the State to consider what our request, if any, shall he to the special session of the legislature called to meet October 6. "I wish to urge that our friends in every county in South Carolina will push our organization work. We iit-^u money ana nope inai every citizen of the State who is able will join us by buying one o:' o;;r badges at $1, and show by wearing it that he is willing to help us boost the price of cotton. If yon can not afford to pay the $1, come to our r meetings anyway and show by your presence that your heart and good wishes are with us.

We wish to tr.ank the many friends of cotton for the support they are giving us. The "buy-abate' plan has done good. Our pa ptnctic women are going to neip us bv wearing cotton clothes. Some of our colleges are taking cotton or warehouse receipts for tuition and board. Some o:' the big insurance companies have received the permission in Washington of investing a part of their income in cotton just as they iave been investing in bonds and mortgages. It is even possible that some of the socalled 'heartless trusts lilm Oil Intornatmnol 1 1 rvt. ULUliUdi U \Slly liuv-i nutiuxiui Harvester company and others may come in to help us bear the burden. The national government has tried to help us. The regional Danking law is the only star of hope when we look to the future; except and most important of all reduction of cotton acreage in 1915. Our friends in Washington say they have done for us all they can and if we expect further government aid it must be from our .State governments. Our South Carolina farmjrs have a bull dog grip on this cot' on ! crop and I believe if the other States ' will stick to us we will win out. Cot- * ton is now 1 cent per pound higher i than ten days ago, due, T believe, to | the small receipts. One cent per ! pound means to the South $75,COO,000 dollars on this cotton corp. Mr. 1 Farmer, however small, you are help ing to play a game of chance and the stake is the paltry sum of hundreds of millions of dollars. Are you going to stand and take some hardships like a true soldier, or are you going to take your heels, sell your cotton on a declining market and help to make yourself, your neighbor and your country, poorer. I urge that every larmer in soutn uaronna tie asked to sign our pledge during September. First, we ask that, if possible, you sell no cotton during the month of September. We know there is no demand for cotton at present and this will sustain the price. Second. Ave ask you to hold one-third of your cron till September, 1915, unless you get 12 cents per pound at an j earlier date. We believe this a fair and reasonable request. Five million bales of this crop can not be spun by j the mills of the world. If we try to 4'orce the mills to take this ">,000,000 surplus, cotton will go down to 5 j cents. If the farmer and his friend I will ctild this surplus, we may sell the other 10,000,000 bales at about 10 J cents. It is fair for every one to hold 1 one-third of his crop and borrow all the money you can on it to pay your de*bts. If you can not borrow money on it, better take the receipt and pay seme of your bills with it for a year, i If you can not hold the third of your | crop, beg or almost force one of your creditors to hold it for you for one vear. When vour county is canj* vassed, it should show tv.at one-third . of last year's crop is going to be held I lor one year, unless the minimum I price, 12 cents, is obtained for it. If : you hold one-third of this crop, the other two-thirds, slowlv fed to the mills, as your necessities demand, will bring more money than all trie cr^p forced on a market with no demand. Third, sign the pledge to reduce acreage (cotton) next year 50 per cent. Crop reduction 50 per cent, is the most essential thing to give value to the present crop?to your 1915 crop and even to the 1916 crop. i "At our State meeting we are going to consider two plans by which the legislature can help us. First, we hope to have a State warehouse bill in working s. ape to present the legislature on October 6. Second, Ave will take up the discussion of State / 'fintrnl .of n r-rnn VI/IX I XV/* vi v A j} "The European war will be a great benefaction to us if we can work out a plan to curtail acreage when we v>ovr> m.Mfip a cumins. 1: we can do this, we have a monopoly crop almost as permanent as real estate and which will in time make the South five richest agricultural country on the face of the earth."
