THE GREENVILLE FINANCE VIA N For Financing the Cotton Farm? er?By W. R.

After several meetings, tin- M? rchants' Cotton com? pany, an adjunct of the Chamber of Commsrcs wos organlnod.

The company h ints to any farmer, tenant, or land? owner, within a radius of 20 miles of GmonVille. No ?individual loan Is mad.? on mure than 20 bales. The loans are bast ?l on |2c per pound for good white cotton, .middling or above, and no low grade cotton is accepted. As Itis price of cotton fluctuates tins 1 basis is raise*! or low* red, so as to ; leave a margin of L'n per com between the value of tin- cotton ami the [amount of t? ??? loan. Tin- cotton is required to be stored in a responsible bonded warehouse, tin- wan house re? ceipt showing wi Ight, tag, numbers* and grade, i pon surrender of this ^warehouse receipt ami proof that then- is no prior lien 01 mortgage against tin- cotton, tin loan is made on a six months note, with interest deducted at tin- rate of 8 per cent per ?H ium. Should any farmer desire to i1 h s cotton; or take up the note, hefoi U the expiration of tin- .??;* months, the# difference in interest is refunded, The plan has been in ispj * 1 oil for almost a month, and 't 1 ,*<? boon found thnl it appeals 10 tit;* ;t crags farmer1 very much.

Since midsummer there has been a decided Improvement In the market lor municipal bonds. "Mpmcipuls," as they are t t med in the securities ; Kirkel, include net only city l>onds, In.i i so the bonds oi townships, coun? ties a. sti tea, besides town and vil? lages, io.i. districts, ! diahiage dis? tricts, etc. These arc grrjoraljy held in higher esteem than they were sev? eral months ago. and as un instance of , how tiny have improved, the experi? ence of Cumberland, Md., can be cited, i In July, that city offered for1 sale an issue of Sl'&O.OOo of ? per cent bonds, and, it is stated the best offer that could then be obtained for them from any of the bond-buying tirms was 88, and they were withdrawn. In October they were again offered and were dis posed of at something belter than DT. the purchasers being a syndicate of Baltimore bankers. Charlotte, N. C, also lately sohl 1100,000 of .r? 1-2 per cent bonds <>n a 5.13 per cent brujbfc ami Durham, in the same state, dis? posed of $57r>|000 of f? 1-2 per cent bonds on about a ">. \7 per cent basis. These are but examples to ..show the trend of opinion regarding this class of securities and the improving out? look f.?r them. Municipal bonds are Isrge|y pur? chased by investors of the clasti whp buy heavily, not'so much, by the smaller investors. Insurants com? panies, savings banks, big estates, and wealthy Individual.* hnd them attrac? tive because of their tax exemption features us, \vlt,h respect to the in eome tax. they do not even have to be reported. At present,, although there has been a great improvement in the market for municipals, tho at tractivenose of many of the railroad issues which have lately been sold, constitutes sLong competition In the minds of Investors. One of these is? sues that was offered n?t long ago was that of *25.T)on,ooo of .Canadian Northern linihoad 7. per tents guar? anteed by the government of Canada at par, and everyone of then,!,was sub? scribed lor i before ten o'clock at the morning df the day on which they were offered. Moreover, some of these bonds were resold at an advance In tho afternoon. Another large is? sue of equipment bonds PUt out by the Hanois Central railroad, did not even come upon the market ,bnt was disposed of privately. Other instances of immediate suc? cess In floating railroad i^ruos could be given, hut tho?a> are suffiplent to show; the trend of the market *nd to mak?- cleat the necessity on the part of municipalities to meet the market in some decree. It is, of course, not necesrary for municipals, because of Lhelr tax exemption, to bear rates of Interest equal to those of railroad is ?lies, but in some stales of the south puhtlu' bombs cannot be legally issued to heai more than ."? pen* cent interest ami there Is sometimes a provision that they cannot be sohl at less than U tr This, or rourse, in the present [.State of things, p'cvents disposal of1 them, Although in the several south? ern instances mentioned it is shown that per rcntM were sohl ait a Com? paratively swhll discount, and that L-.2s were disposed Df to even bolter advantage. Criticism is heard of some south? ern states for laws which prevent holders of their securities .from ob? taining collection of the principal/by legal process should there be a fail? ure to pay when the bonds mature, littler stutes in this section do not have sueh a Maw. and consequently their securities are held lit greater es? teem and Und a readier market, in at least one Of the states whose law iSfthuS adversely critici/.cd. there is A move moot to niter the statute so that bondholders will be accorded as full protection for the principal of their investment as in the other states to which allusion is made. If. therefore, all southern com? munities, either townp, cities, coun? ties or states win. when Issuing bonds, follow the e.ample of theSe states in this section which have sought to safe? guard the interests of bondholders, nut to also adjust rates of interest to meet money market conditions, taking tnto consideration the fact that these rates'need be but proportionate?In view of the tax exemption quality mentioned? they v. ill find the pres? ent time most encon aging to market lhelr issues and to ma.?e provision to _ begin their spring campaigns of road construction, .strei t paving, and other country, town and city improvements, which are so much needed and desir? ed everywhere to keep pace with gen? era) progress throughout the country. It may take weeks to prepare bonds tor the market, and by the time that lie are ready the market in all prob? ability w|ll i?e even better than it is now. Different factors are having their Influence .-..-on the situation fr n day in daj. yet wit h all this the Improve in eirt In the demand for mu? nicipal bonds Increases steadily.

I Commenting on probable reap hortionment of representatives in Congress as a result of 1920 census, Sh. Tliikham said that if the pres? ent basis of representation were used 65 members would be added in the home. This Increase, he added, could be avoided almost entirely by ad-' hexing to the same unit of represen jlatton?one' member for 211,877 ln habiiants?and by enforcing the 14th amendment which directs congress tib reduce representation of states who restrict tho right to vote Of qualified citizens. Mr', Tinkhnm said that if a roap portionmeut bill were passed "which is plainly unconstitutional by avoid? ing enforcement of the 14th amend? ment," he intended to question in the courts the constitutionality of the election of tho, next house.
