Hs?e advised ! hold their cotton WHILE THE EUROPEAN WAR IS ItAGING, AS PRICES WILL HE LOW. PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS Writes Explanation and Letter to Farmer* Which Shows Their Best Plan is to Hold Their Crop off the Market. To the Farmers of the State: I have just returned from the cotton congress in Washington. After talking with several United States senators, congressmen and two members of the reserve board, I have arrived at this conclusion: The government can and will provide sufficient money to tide us over the preset! emergency. I believe we have fbfcnty of law now enacted to accomplish this result, but if the law is not sufficient our representatives in the senate and congress will speedily enact such laws as will supply the money. One thing is very clear and that is we must get our money from solvent banks now in existence and that the national government is not going to valorize cotton. Another thought is clear to me: We are not go ing to have an adequate supply of money for from 30 to 90 days. South Carolina can get about $3,000,000 of ^emergency currency. This will give some immediate relief. Full relief can not come till the regional bank gets into full operation and this will take b0 to 90 days. The regional bank can not give relief unless our local hanks in every cotton county can put up strong, absolutely secure cotton warehouse receipts. The directors of the regional banks have the power to determine the amount and nature of i paper a member bank can discount.

The national government can not valorize cotton, but our merchants, bankers and fertilizer companies can. One of the largest manufacturers in South Carolina, having tens of thousands of dollars of his products sold to farmers, says he expects to advertise that he will take pay for his accounts in cotton at 10 cents per pound. More than 1,000,000 tons of fertilizers have been sold this year in South Carolina, largely on credit. I hope to sec fertilizer companies come out with a statement that they will take as pay for fertilizers cotton sold at 10c per pound.

Two Warehouses Are Provided for p Orangeburg Farmers. Special to The State. Orangeburg, Aug. 31.?The busir ness men of Bowman have made arrangements to warehouse cotton. Two / warehouses have been provided that B will hold 1,000 bales. A stock company has been formed and $1,000 will 3 be expended in the erection of another ? warehouse if it is needed. The farms ers of that section are making every effort not to sacrifice their cotton. Since writing another news item appearing elsewhere in tHia * concerning the removal of th postof' fice from Main Street to the Thompson block on Laurel Street, it appear?? 1 that rapid work has been accomplishP ed in the alterations being made in the new quarters, and it is stated that _ the olllce will be moved over to the * new site by tonight. 1 Only One "BROMO QUININE" To get the genuine, call (or lull name, LaXA5 TIV14 BROMO QUININE.

Could not the humblest farmer in our State producing one bale of cotton with such a warehouse receipt get money from any bank in the United States and at as low rate of interest as the largest bank ? The cotton congress declared in favor of 12 1-2 cent cotton. It costs 10 cents and above to produce cotton. The remaining 2 1-2 cents is only a reasonable profit which all business interests in the South should be willing for us to earn.

The result was that ftl i a single pair of glasses was sufficient, though present day oculists state that II the sharply drawn line must have II affected his eyes.
