COMPRESS co. HELPS FARMERS
Loans on Cotton viii Be Made at
Low Interest.

Americus cotton men and farm,rs
discussed with interest yesterday the
proposition of Mr.. G. G. Hanson, pres
ident of the Atlantic Compress Co. and
the Gulf Compress Go, relative to
loans to be made upon cotton in stor-
ago, which may prove solution of the
present situation. The plan, in word,
consists of the bonding company's
issued by either of the two companies
headed by Mr.. Hanson. The leading
bankers, east and south, have stated
that these receipts, SO guaranteed,
would be generally accepted as collat-
eral for loans at from to 6 per cent.
The cost of the guaranty to the owner
of cotton is about cents bale or a
scarcely appreciable addition to the al
ready moderate warehouse charges ex-
listing throughout the South. It is gen.
orally believed by those to whom the
plan has been unfolded that in it has
been found the most practical means
of enabling farmers to borrow money
cheaply and quickly on whatever cotton
they desire to hold. Mr.. Hanson states
that if desired his company could han
die all the cotton the farmers of the
South might desire to hold, as, he said,
when the business grew he would see
that the warehouse facilities of hiE
companies were expanded to meet ev.
cry requirement.
