disappointment.

Washington. Aug. Claiming that
Mr. ". :. Witham. a wcll-known south
l ern banker, was in the city, Tor the pur-
! pose Of cunferring with the treasury OH
/ cials in relation to currency with which
10 move the cotton crop in the south, I
called on him to ascertain the result of
his conference. Mr. Witham is doing
banking business on very extensive
scale. He is former Georgian,
but is now a resident Of Admission, Ala,
where he is president Of the Security
Bank of Alabama and Of the Country
Bank Stock Security Company. he Is
also president Of the following banks in
! Georgia: jackson Banking Co, jackson;

ing Company, bank Of Buford, bank Of
! Millen. bank of ElbertOn, and bank of
| Louisville Through the banks over
which Mr.. Witham presides will pass the
money 10 pay for between four and i've
million dollars worth OF cotton and he is
| deeply interested in the question of
how to procure or provide the currency
| for this immense business.
l found Mr.. Witham ready to cOmmu-
nlcate the result Of his visit. be was re-
! ferred to Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Miller as the proper officer TO advise
\ him.
Mr.. Witham submitted to the commits
sioner the following form of check,
and asked if it was lawful:
Sixty days after date .........-... Bank
Will pay to bearer five dollars in lawful money
Of the United States, at the office OF .,:......
-
The commissioner said IL would be sub
iect to taxation. Then Mr. Witham sub
mitted this form
This is to certify that ......... Bank is
indebted to the bearer in the sum Of three dol
lars. tSigned by Cashier.)
The commissioner said that that also
would be subject TO taxation. Mr.
Witham then asked him to suggest a
form which would be exempt from the
tax imposed by law on state bank cur
rency. The commissioner replied that
the department would not advise the use
of any form, nor recommend form to be
used; that it would not assume that re-
spOnsibilty
He said that clearing house certificates

a certificate. made payable to the order
of an individual and which therefore
must be indOrsed when it is transferred,
may be used as a substitute for currency,
if the people will take it.
Any order or check payable in cotton or
other merchandise, is not in violation of
the law which taxes any bank bills other
than those of national banks.
The COmmi ssiOner made this further Sug-
gestion: To be satisfied about any specif-
ic form of check which you desire to issue,
consult your attorney, draw up your form
and have it submitted to the controller of
