Ryan, representing the Ryan Engineering Company, of Columbia,' met with the members of city council Monday night ard submitted a pro posal to take over the v lease for the operation.' of the municipal water plant now held by the South Carolina Power Company. Mr .Ryan stated that his company will pay the city of Barnwell $2,500 for the lease. Under the terms of the franchise granted the South Carolina Power Compar y when the electric light plant here was sold several months ago, the company agreed to operate the plant on a specified schedule of rates, it be ing provided in the contract that the same could be terminated by either party on six months’ notice. It is understood that the power company would be willing to cancel its lease. In return for the cash payment °t $2,500, the Ryan Engineering Cbm- pary asks for a five-year lease on the water plant. No definite action was taken by city council Monday night, the members preferring to take the matter under consideratior. It is probable, however, that they will reach a decision at an early date. An election is to be held'at Black- ville within the next few days on the question of grar.tirg the Ryan Engin eering Company a franchise for the in stallation of a water works system and the operation of same in that city.

Cotton fanners are to receive the full cash equivalent to this year’s crop in advance whenever they are “hi digs" tress and must have money,” under plans announced Monday by the federal board. The funds will be advanced throogh the cotton co-operatives. The board itself will advance 25 per cent, of the value of the crop, 65 per cent, will be lent by the federal intermediate credit barks, the remaining 10 per cent, will be paid from the capital re serves of the co-operatives. How much money actually will be required was said by the board to de pend solely on the needs of the co-op erative associations. It is expected that the sums involved in this year’s marketing operations will run some where between $5,000,000 and $10,000,- 000. Board members said they stood ready to go as far as the industry , re quired. The advances to be made by th^ board will be on cotton upon which ”a definite value has been fixed by hedg ing the futures market.” A statement accompanying the announcement laid the effect of the secondary loans to be made by the board would be to “per mit the co-operative associatioce to make final settlement with a member grower when the latter desires to tel) his cotton without forcing that cotton onto the market at a time when buy er* al reedy may be oversupplied.” Advances Prorated. “From the federal intermediate credit hanks ard the federal farm board,” the statement amid, “the as sociations will receive advances equal to 90 per cent, of the fixed value. To this amount the cotton associations will add 10 per cert, from their own capital reserves, win pay in full the grower who is is distress and must have money, and will at the same time be able to merchandise the cot ton in an orderly fashion as the spin ning mills of the world require.” The decision to make these loans waa reached by the board after extended conferences with officials of the Am erican Cotton Growers’ exchange, the largest and most important of the co operative agencies dealing is this commodity. Local associations in 11 States throughout the South are rep resented by the exchange. For the time being, the board it without decision upon the selection of a cotton commodity advisory council, which would include representatives from the exchange and the other in dependent cotton co-operativee. Williams Praises. The plan is “just exactly what the cotton growers wai.t,” Carl Wilhama, who wag appointed to represent the cotton industry on Use board, com mented.* Senator Sheppard (Demo crat) of Texas, withheld approval or disapproval, pending operationi of the plan. “As to the extent to which funds will be extended from the board to co-operatives,” he said, “it will not be possible to know until the advances are applied for ard made and until the plan the hoard has in view goea into actual operation. “It is also impossible to estimate what benefits may Accrue to growers themselves until we have more nite. developments.” j REID’S FURNITURE IS n GOING DURING AUGUST Archdeacon Joseph Burton an nounces the following schedule of services at the Church of the Holy Apostles in BannseR for Sunday, August 25th: Surday school at 10JO a. m.
