gai manoy speeches on thet subject

Smith of Georgia, '. D. Smith, of
SouthACa rol ina, an( others have led
inl the illovemlielit. Senator Dial of
Solith Carolina preselnted a 1lucid an1d
logieal presentation of the situation
Fridaty. In the brief the Sou tLi Ca ro
lina senator sid1( that on tliree (d iffer
lit occiIslonis he had called the atten
.Lion of the government autholrities to
what woliid follow unless the War
F1iiance Corporation should be per
litted to carry on its business, inl one
of these comilniiilications saying to
the Presidoient that in his opinion Sec
retary Houston was doing more to
elect a Republican president than
liarding lI(d Lo(lge put together.
When ho began these efforts the
south had sonethink like thrce mliu
lion bales of coton which it had car
ried over from last season, and lie
thought it important to restore rela
tions with the different countries of
the world which usC our cotton and
get it Out of this country as fast as
possible.
Senator Dial said in part: The peo
IPl0 of this country bought all the
bonds they could carry and they ex
Pected help) from tho banks. They had
the cotton on hand and expected the
War Iinan-e Co poratlon to fi et ion
until they coil I tulrnl tieJir cot(mi in to
cash and pay tlei r debts.

That the Latrells cotton market is
being seriously hurt by the practee of

plallits on this score have been made
by other local bilyers this season and
a niilmbiier of them have stated that
they have found it dilicitlt to dispose
of the local cottoni oil that accolilit.
Alr. Ieide rsol has proffered Hit let

Mr. Oscar livlerson,
Lau reno, S. C.
Dear Sir:
We are continually receiving x ces.-;
tare claims oin cotton shipped out of
Lattrelis and they, aiount to an aver
age of 6i pounds a bale. You (in read
ily see that this will necessitate our
rednled g otr limits sharply ill your
miarket. We suggest that you take
this matter IlIp with thle couity grader
who is supposed to be a disinterested
party. You can also bring it to the
attention of your Chamber of Com
Imerce and Convince them 'that the
method of using the kind of bagging
that Is being used at your gins will
eventually in11111 your market. I know
several buyers who have quit buying
there solely on this account, and It
looks like we will have to do likewise.
If yoU"' peOple want to put their mar
ket where it was a few years ago they
can do so by the continuation of this
practice.
Yours very truly,
