New Facilities, With Short Crop,
Will Mean Good Prices.
Florence, Sept. 21.?Senator E. 1)
Smith was in the city a short while
this morning, returning to his farn
from Raleigh, N. C., where he, wit!
W. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve
board, took different viewpoint.in
the matter of loans from banks be
fore the Chamber of Commerce ol
that city. They had both been inviteii
to accompany Secretary Daniels te
his home to meet with this body. Th<
representative of the reserve boani
viewed the transaction from the
standpoint of the bank, the senatoi
from the standpoint of the borrower
The meeting was described as a most
interesting one, in which all seemci
to be in thorough accord.
Senator Smith says that the people

their money cheaper than those it
South Carolina. In the North Stati
the rate of interest is said to be 6 pet
cent, while in this State report seem?
to show at least one case where it was
10 per cent. He thinks that there ate
many evidences of increasing prosperity.
The outlook in the cotton belt he
thinks is the best in its history, lie
felt that the promise of the federal
reserve bank in Richmond to let the
hanks that would lend the farmer at <i
per cent on his cotton have the money
to lend at .'I per cent would be most
gratifying and encouraging. He gave
out while here an authorized interview
in which he repeated the conversation
between himself and the board cfn
this matter, in which was the statement
concerning the interest that
would be charged in this matter. The
governor of the board gave him the
assurance of the 3 per cent charge.
His statement is as follows:
"Some weeks ago I met with the
federal reserve board for the purpose
of discussing the practical operation
I of the new banking and currency law
as it relates to the farmer. I propounded
certain questions to them, in
the form of a letter, to which letter
the governor of the hoard replied.
Among other questions propounded
was: 'What would be the rate of rediscount?'
In other words, what interest
would our regional reserve bank
at Richmond charge our State banks
?that is, the national and member
banks of this State?on cotton certificates.
I suggested to the board at
that time that in view of the fact that
cotton always was an extremely liquid
asset the world over and especially
now when the consumption by virtue
of this war and its uses as the basis
of high explosives, and in vieiwr of the
other fact that it was practmlly imperishable.
When properly plstectec!
from?e and weather, that ^^^ugl^
ovnqr o/"theboa rd and
by l.im that the board had determine!
on a special commodity rate for cot
Ion. I was informed that it had issuee
a statement to member banks through
til! tho
vuvvuii m;il umi/ hi cast* ani
bank would agree not to charge th<
party or parties obtaining a loan or
cotton exceeding 0 pet* cent that the
reserve bank ,in our case Richmond
would charge but 3 per cent discount
I was greatly gratified to see that at
last the commercial and banking valut
of cotton was being recognized by the
federal power.
"Paper issued upon cotton properly
stored, insured and grade ascertained
and the ownership established, is under
the law the basis of the issuance
of federal reserve notes. Therefore
the local member bank that takes
such paper assumes practically no
liability. The cotton itself guarantees
the loan; now it does seem that
every national and member bank in
the South would gladly accept this
proposition. They receive the money
from the reserve bank at per cent,
and give it to the maker of the paper
at 0 per cent, which means a gross
profit to them of 100 per cent with
practically no liability on their part.
"Under such terms as these, with
the present prices of cotton, every
farmer who so desires can hold a
part or all of his crop from the market
without a serious per cent of its
value being taken up in interest.
"The present crop is undoubtedly
one of the smallest that has been
made in years. The demand for cotton,
both in this country and abroad,
has not abated a particle. Therefore,
withholding the cotton from 'he mar
ket and only selling it :it will will
rapidly enhance the prices und tend
to recuperate losses "Sustained last
year. Under our present banking
and currency law, as administered by
the present officials, the financial
status of the seller is made approximately
as strong as that of the buyer.
This is the condition which we have
fought for for all these yt ars. As long
as it was hard and co-dj for the
farmer to finance his cotton, and
practically easy for the buyer to obtain
credit, the fight was unequal and
the prices disastrous.
"Mr. Harding of the federal reserve
board, who was made chairman
of a committee charged with the investigation
of conditions, made some
startling revelations at a banquet in
Raleigh last night in reference to the
rate of interest charged by certain
banks in certain Southern States.
The comptroller of the currency has
promised in his official reports hereafter
to give the amount of paper
discounted by member banks on farm
products, the kind of paper, the rate
of interest charged the maker of the
paper, and the rediscount rate of in1
terest charged the bank by the reserve
bank. I am of opinion that this
; also will help.
"I gather from the opinion of
certain correspondents that their es(
timate that the present crop is that it
will not exceed twelve million bales
maximum, with the possibility of
eleven million bales being nearer the
mark. With the confusion occasioned
by the unexpected European war last
? year, with the demoralization of both
' the financial and marketing world
1 and with a sixteen million bale crop
' after a temporary depression the
; market rebounded to nine and ten
cents. With order having been restored,
with confidence restored, our
' new banking and currency law put
' into operation, with abundance of
cheap money, and a small crop, it is
' almost impossible to say what would
be the price of cotton with proper
' j marketi. g."
NATURE WARNS

Against Using Calomel.
. j The sickening, nauseating feeling
that follows the use of calomel is the
natural result of disarranging your
entire system. Doctors everywhere
are agreeing that the action of cal'
| omel is much too strong, and leaves
! the body sick and weakened.
LIV-VER-LAX is a wonderful substitute
for calomel, that has all of
its good effects and none of its bad
ones. It acts soothingly but thoroughly
on the liver, cleansing it of bile,
and ridding the entire system of stagnating
poisons.
LIV-VER-LAX is strictly a harmless
vegetable compound, and is
guaranteed to give satisfaction or your
money will be returned. Insist on the
