Spivey is Elected as Chair- t man of State Group 1 Number Six. < 1 t i Hendersonville. ? President II. W. Fraser sounded the keynote of the sentiment of the 21st annual conven- j tion of the South Carolina Bankers' i association when he said that the t inherent worth of men and material s in South Carolina would make the i future one of prosperity worthy of the * state. And Senator Dial's statement 1 that he was an optimist was reflect- t ed in the faces of his hearers. There i were about 200 members present at 1 Kanuga, seven miles from Mender- t sonville, when the convention as- jj sembled last week. Preliminary v to asking God's blessing, the Rev. 1 B. E. Botnbar of the First Baptist r church of Hendersonville said that c from wide observation he could say i that bankers generally were men of u the highest Christian character, v many of whom practiced tithing, and f in whose trust the people's faith was a not misplaced. W. A. Smith of the c Hendersonville bar welcomed the ii bankers, saying that this part of r North Carolina belonged to South b Carolinians by right of discovery and u development. The response to the t] welcome was made by T). A. Spivey b of Horry, who was witty and enter- t< taining. t! President Fraser, in opening his ad v dress, expressed the grief of the association for the recent death of the secretary, Lee Holleman. Ho s then thanked James H. Craig, state v* hank examiner, for acting as secre- f tary and paid a tribute to his judg- tl ment and discretion during the pres- li ' ent hard times, to which, he said, tl i was due the general satisfactory con t dition of the banks of the state, and fi whom he recommended as a perman- tl ent secretary of the convention. 1< Needing Stability. c Bespeaking cooperation among the tl hankers, he said the greatest need ti of the .South was stability of prices u which would be brought about by fi the orderly marketing of its prod- o ucts. He said that so long as the h general government took $28,000,000 a annually from South Carolina in rev-lci T\ STANI HAF C. H. HARDWIC.K ANC PUBLIC THAT THEY >wND THAT THEY ARE FERED.

Moss of the legislative committee reported that nr legislation had bopn S/?l I f ll t 4' < (lid ast general assembly, l?ut that certain changes in the hanking law.-were desired. Charles L. Cobb of Rock Hill introduced resolutions which were inanimously adopted expressing the iorrow of the convention at the death if Lee Holleman, giving testimony t<lis fidelity and efficiency and putting on record the love of the mem)ers for the deceased. Craig Reads Paper. James PI. Craig read a paper on government in its relation to insurmce in which historically and pracicallv he showed the close relationship between government and hankng. He gave highest praise to the soldiers who had fought in the war nit said that the banks also had done heir part, and that the war could lot have been won without the leartv support of the hanks. He said hat justly the main object of the government during the war was to vin the war, but that in so doing it lad brought about inflated and ahmrmal conditions, and he condemn(1 the government severely for leavng the country to take care of itself ipon the war ending. He said that it vas just as much the duty of the inancial part y>f the government to ccommodate itself to the abnormal onditions following the war as durng the war. He praised the federal eserve system but said that it was eing managed in an arbitrary and njust way by the administrators; hat it was making the non-member allies bow to the federal reserve sysEmi and did not allow them to have he liberty of action to which they fere entitled. Dial Talks of Cotton. Senator Dial made an earnest peech in support of an amendment <hich he Tiad proposed to the cotton uture trading act, in which he said hat there was greater hope for reef for the cotton farmer than anyliing else. He said that he was not aking a position in "opposition to all uture trading cotton contracts, but hat his amendment proposed to al- ( >w the buyer and seller of future ontracts teach to name orre-half of ] he grade for delivery at the mairity of the contract. He said that nder the present law the seller of a uture contract could deliver any ( ne of ten grades which meant that e would deliver what suited hirr. i nd this means that he won id not be ulled upon to deliver any.

Ho wns bitter in his denudation of Former Secretary of the Treasury Houston who, he said, was not fit to be a trustee of a third class school and who he regretted came from South Carolina. He urged the hank, to join the federal reserve system, i.. the management of which ho said there were defects but which he said, was the greatest banking System ever proposed in the world. In closing he urged the bankers to support his amendment, and expressed the hope that the cotton mills would get together and agree upon future trading and relieve the farmers from the present unjust system.
