Cotton Money in Plenty.
In conversation with Mr C. E. Stubbs, one
of our resident cotton buyers, yesterday, he
informed us that he is prepared to buy any
lots of cotton that may be offered, and pay
for the same in cash, by check on eit?er the
Bank of Sumter or the Simona's National
Bank, as his customers may prefer.
The Messrs. Ryttenberg stated the same in
substance to us, and in fact we may say the
same of all our buyers. Our country friends
need not fear anything on this point Sum?
ter has all the money necessary to move all
the cotton that is brought here-all rumors
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Considering the Situation.
The meeting of farmers, merchants and
business men of various avocations which
assembled in the Court House on last Friday,
in response to the call issued last week over
the signatures of a number of prominent
gentlemen and firms, was composed of about
two hundred representative citizens from all
parts of the county.
Mr. R. M. Wilson was made chairman on
motion of Mr. A. Moses and H. G. Osteen,
secretary.
Mr. Moses being called upon stated the
specific object of the meeting, and then pro?
ceeded.further to comment in a general way
on the financial situation, and brightening
prospects. He stated that the cotton buyers
had received 'assurance from the banks that
they would be able to supply them with
ali the funds needed to bay cotton. Hence
there was, at present, no necessity of ba ring
recourse to an issue of Clearing House ce tifi
cates.
Mr. Marion Moise stated that he, also, had
talked with the cotton buyers and bad been
assured that money would be forthcoming to
buy all cotton brought to this market. Wnile
at present there seemed to be no need of an
issue of certificates tbe necessity might arise
at any time more urgently than ever. He was
satisfied'that the people here were ready to
have three trustees selected, turn over to them
$100,000 worth of collaterals and have them
issue $5.0,000 in certificates on them. He
concluded by speaking of the possibility of
the government levying the 10 per cent, tax
on the certificates, and in this event the call?
ing in or all outstanding certificates which
would be followed by greater stringency than
existed ten days ago.
Mr. W A. James, jr., introduced the fol?
lowing resolutions and spoke briefly in ex?
planation of them : *
Retolvtd, 1st. That a committee of six be
appointed by this meeting, composed of three
Reformers and three A at ?-Reformers.
2. That said committee be empowered
to receive cotton and issue thereon due bills
payable in gold on or after the -1st day of
December, 1893, to the amount of five cents
per pound.
3. That said committee through the means
of a sub-committee shall take ail cotton so
i deposited in its bands and sell same from time
to time to the best advantage.
4. That if in the opinion of said committee
such cotton should be shipped abroad to do
so.
5. That said committee shall bold office for
twelve months.
6. That said committee shall not act io
any matter unless two-thirds of said committee
concur.
7. That said committee shall be empow?
ered to issue in 1894 two-thirds the face
value of approved security in gold bearing
due bills, the same redeemable on or after Dec.
lat, 1894.
Col R. D. Lee spoke hopefully of the situa?
tion, and. took the ground that since there
was money to move the cotton, the object for
which the meeting had been called was already
accomplished and there was no work for it to
do.
Mr. W. A. James, jr., withdrew bis resolu?
tions, but stated that when it should become
necessary to supplement the United States
currency, the farmers would demand the
right to furnish half.
Col. J. J. Dargan said that be hoped Mr.
James's resolutions would be published so
that the public could have an opportunity of
studying them. He was of the opinion that tbe
crisis was not over, that crisis would follow
crisis during seasons of plently uutil matters
should be adjusted to suit tbe cbanging con?
ditions of society. He was in favor of Clear?
ing House certificates or anything that would
give relief. He also favored the adjournment
of the meeting subject to the cali of the chair?
man or vice-chairman, ilr. A. Moses. He
moved that the James resolutions be pub?
lished. On second of Col. Lee, the motion
waa adopted.
The meeting then adjourned " subject to the
call of Chairman Wilson or Vice-Chairman
Moses
