An announcement of Interest to many persons In Humter County Is that made bv he Bank of Humter that It has made provisions for carry? ing over Ita share of the cotton crop handled on the Humter market, the bank's share being reckoned on the capital stock of the hanks In the city. Tha arrangements for m?kln* th^se loans at this time were made recent? ly by Mr Hernanl Manning, who was one of the delegation from here to attend the conference of bankers with Secretary McAdoo and Comptrol? ler Williams at Wanhlngton and the cotton conference which was being held at Washington at that time. Finding that their visit to the treasury officials would not accomplish any good at this time ami doubting the success of the cotton congress, Mr. Manning went to New York to make his arrangements. The bank has through banks at New York, Philadelphia and Balti? more, made arrangements to secure funds to carry o' er approximately its full share of the cotton crop by loans to the farmers. It has been reckoned that It Is best to carry over one-half of the cotton crop, which will be ibout 30.000 bales in this county. Of this amount the Hank of Sumter has prepared to carry about one-fifth of that handled on the Sumter market. The full details of the plan by which the money will be loaned and the exact amount secured for this purpose have not been given out. Rl LKK iX>K PLAYtiROl M>S.
