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.

in South Carolina, having

TO HOLD COTTON.
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

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 cotton congress declared in favor
of 12 1-2 cent cotton. It
costs 10 cents and above to produce
