Legislation for Relief. Aiken. Octobei* 27.?Congressman Bvjnes upon his return to Aiken on \2 Saturday stated that the cotton W growers need expect no legislation m from the national government for a their immediate relief. He said that three bills pending, two extending St the amount of emergency currency ? that can be issued to the banks, and @ the warehouse measure would be of (R practically no assistance. /X Anion? other things he said: "The emergency currency has fail- * ed to afford adequate relief for many >S reasons, and particularly so in our section because we have so few pa- ? tional banks. The warehouse meas- /X ure will only give additional value to a warehouse receipt and should make it more acceptable to the >2 banks, but as long as they have no @ money to loan it will not help the ?2 cotton farmer. Even if it should /SB pass, and it doubtless will in Decern- IgK ber, it will be a long time before the * warehouse conies under the super- *8 vision of the government." ? Mr. Byrnes said he supported every & cotton amendment and voted against /SB adjournment, as did every member from South Carolina. ^ OUR COOK BOOK. ?> Tempting Recipes and Useful Hints j)* for Housekeepers. ~c Good Layer Cake.
