I have no information as to how
much has been realized from the
banks of this State
After passing resolutions of thanks
to the State Trust and Banking
Company for the use of their rooms
and the courtesies extended, the con-
yention adjourned.
1t can not escape notice that the
attendance of this convention of
Southern Bankers was small in
numbers. Enjoying a personal ac-
quaintance with the management of
the National banks of New Orleans,
through my services as the National
BANK Examiners and temporary re-
ceiver of several suspended banks in
that city it was disappointing not to
find a larger delegation from these
banks so vitality interested as the
city of New Orleans is in everything
that concerns cotton production and
marketing; but the personnel of those
present was all that could be de-
sired. and their proceedings you will
admit were marked by prudence and
an intelligent grasp Of the situation.
Address of James A. Gray.
Mr.. James A. Gray, of this city dis
cussed Suggestions to the New
Banker" He urged upon his hearers
their responsibility and declared tn 1T
the banker must deal openly and hon
estly with all those who have connec-
ton with the institutions, whether it
be those depositing or. those who bor-
rowed. He urged the bankers to be-
ware of too much Idle money on hand
it will cut the dividends but all loans
should be made carefully with the
best interests of the stockholders and
depositors always in view. Extracts
from his speech follow:
''As you well know, a bank can
not depend alone upon it's capital
for dividends and expenses, custom
ers and deposits are necessary and
to secure and keep these customers
and deposits, it is of the first import
ance that a bank opens its doors

desire to aid in marketing the bal
ance of the crop so as to hold in
check any disposition to rush in their
cotton unduly and break the market.
I'VE feel, if the convention as a
whole pledges itself and the respec-
tive States these delegates represent
to an absolute reduction OF %, per
cent in the cotton area for the year
1905, and a Is per cent reduction in
the use of fertilizers, that the entire
problem will be solved.
GEORGE Il. JESTER. Chairman"
Mr. f. H. Hyatt, of South Carolina,
of the committed speaking on the
report said the cotton men are more
or less depending on the bankers
who hold the purse tstrings-without
their aid the farmerGoan do little or
nothing TO hold up the price.
First-To recommend the farmers
to hold their cotton as it is distrib-
uted over the entire country
Second-To put it in warehouses
where practicable.
Third-For the bankers to ad-
vance on the cotton as much as they
can, which we know they will do.
The report was received with
thanks. accompanied With the state
ment that an answer would be form
any MADE Dy a committee SuDSe-
quently appointed.
This was followed by an address
by Col. w. H. Rivers, president of
the Texas Bankers Association who
urged in the strongest terms
reduction of acreage diversification
Of crops and the warehouse system
as means of relief to the farmers,
declaring that the bonded ware
house properly conducted, must be
beneficial to farmers
Col. Burgwyn moved that the city
papers be requested to publish the
paper of Col. Rivers, and the chair
man said that it ought to go to all
the papers of the South.
Col. Rivers was thanked for pre-
pairing the paper. 1t being suggest
ed that reports be received from the
States represented as TO what pro-
portion of cotton could be taken
care of, on suggestion of Mr. T. K.
Sand, of Virginia, it was resolved
that one man be appointed to speak
for each State and the speakers be
limited to five minutes each.e
These addresses approved the plan
of reducing the acreage planted in

cotton for 1905 and expressed the
opinion that the bankers of each
Southern State would be able and
willing to furnish the farmer the
money to carry his cotton over until
the next season provided there was a
material reduction in the acreage to
be planted in cotton the ensuing year.
At my request Mr.. ]. A. Brown
president of the Bank of Chadbourne
divided the time allotted to, and it
goes without saying, he spoke in
structively on the situation. In the
brief remarks I ventured TO make, [
expressed the opinion that the situa-
tion in North Carolina. was much
simplified from the fact that our cot
ton mills have now become so numer-
Gus and are so we'll equipped with the
latest and most approved machinery
as to be able to manufacture in to
the finished product every pound of
the $50, 600 bales of cotton raised in
the State. Also that our cotton far
mers are in many cases tobacco
farmers as we'll; that last years to-
bacco crop was fair one, bringing
renumerative prices and our farmers
were never so well fixed to hold their
and that whatever financial help they
might require, could be obtained
from the bankers of their own State,
backed if necessary by the bankers
of our Interstate of Virginia.
At the afternoon session a COM
mittee appointed by the bankers com
mittee reported the following pre-
amble and resolutions which were
adopted after more or less discussion.
Whereas cotton growers of the
United States have assembled in
convention on the 25th day of Janu-
airy, in the city of New Orleans for
the purpose of organizing National
Cotton Growers Association; and
Whereas, the financial interests of
the country are threatened by over
productions; and
Whereas, tho price at which the
cotton crop of the South is sold is
such q potent factor in turning the
balance of trade in our favor, makes
the question one of vital interest to
the country at large;
Therefore, be it resolved: That we
the Southern Bankers, in convention
assembled, heartily indorse the OBJ
ject of said association and promise
our hearty cooperation.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-05-20

"Second-That we believe that the
Southern Bankers are amply able
and willing to finance the holdings
of the surplus of the present crop,
which we propose to do, provided the
acreage of cotton for 1905 is re-
duced not less than % per cent. and
fertilizers in proportion.
"Third-That we are heartily in
sympathy with a movement to es-
tablish a uniform warehouse. system
under sound legislation by the differ
ent States, looking not only to the
caring for the present crop, but for
future crops, whereby the farmer and
merchant could furnish better coll
LATERAL thus enabling them to get
money at lower rates of interest.
"Fourth-That we urge the neees-
sity of a thorough organization and
call on the various interests of the
country to assist the Cotton Growers
Association in keeping this question
agitated from now until such time as
perfect organization shall have
been effected.
"Fifth-That a copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to the secretary of each
of the State Bankers Associations, to
be transmitted by him to all the
banks IN the South"
On motion of Mr.. J. A. Brown,
resolution was adopted pledging the
various State Bankers Association, in
the South to raise one thousand dol
lars each to constitute a fund of ten
thousand dollars to assist the Cotton
growers in carrying on their cam
paign for reduction of cotton acre
age and the establishment of ware
houses. and a committee of one from
each State was appointed to repre-
sent the Southern bankers in coop
Grating with the Southern Cotton
growers Association, in any plan that
should be decided unon. OF this
committee, Col. Rivers was made
chairman. / took the liberty of sug-
costing the president of the associa-
ton to represent North Carolina.
Mr.. John ID. Walker, of Sparta, Ga,
was appointed secretary and treas
urer of the committee and probably

every bank in the State has received
from Mr.. Walker a request to remit

most pronounced of these services
commenced in 1898, when Mr.. Morri-
son was placed at the head of the
Democratic organization in Richmond

ern North Carolina. He organized the
Democratic forces of the county and
really inaugurated the style of cam

all the eastern counties and that
proved so successful.
In 1900 he was sent to the State
Senate from this district, where he
proved himself one of the most useful
members. The passage of many meas
ures of material advantage to his
county and district was secured by
him. In 1902 he came within frac-

nation for Congress at the Monroe
convention. In the recent prohibition
fight in Richmond county he took a
prominent part. and made notable
speech before the committee on liquor

Monroe County Representative Slashes Member of Farmers Union for Re-

Brinkley, Oct. 13. A personal difficulty occurred between Rep resentative Geo. F. Chapline of Clarendon and J. T. Boyle of Pine Ridge, this county, Tues day evening after the adjourn ment of an open session of the Farmers Union. It seems that MT. Chapline took exceptions to some remark about him made by MT. Boyle in the open session of the meeting.
 Afterward they met each other on the street and in discussing the matter angry words were passed and Chapline cut Boyle in several places on the arm and shoulder with a pocket knife.
 Boyle was taken to the office of Dr. Terry. His wounds when examined did not prove to be of a serious nature. Both were placed under arrestand appeared before the mayor and fined $5 and costs each.

Celebrates Birthday.

The sixty-third birthday of James w. Howard was celebrat- ed Friday noon at his home near Remmel with a big barbecue and dinner, attended by all his neigh bors and a few outside invited guests.
 The table arranged in the yard fairly groaned under its burden of barbecued pig and mutton and innumerable other good things.
 The affair was enjoyed by all who wished to attest the popu- larity and good citizenship of their genial and jolly host, whom all hope to see some day cele- brating his hundredth milestone, for if years were given as they were lived and merited there is no doubt but that Jackson coun- tvs popular road commissioner would become centenarian.

Dismissal of Trainnsen.

The ivestigation by railroad officials of the cause of the wreck, occasioned by a head-on collision between the Cotter and Cush- man local freight trains near this city. on Saturday, September 30, has resulted in the dismissal from the service of Conductor Ellen wood, Engineer Butler and Brakemen Moore of the Cotter train. The investigation devel- oped that the Cotter train was on the Cushman trains time, and was attempting to flag in ahead of them, when the accident oc- cured. The only damage done was to the pilot of one of the en- zines, and to two freight cars. The acquaintances of the men discharged will regret to learn of their n'isfortune.
 Conductor A. Fortner arrived in the city Tuesday evening to take the Cotter local run. He is brother to Conductor Jack Fort ner, who is on the passenger run. -Batesville Guard.

Leader Defies Prosecution.

Co, way, Oct. 13. The excite ment occasioned by the threat of the sheriff to prosecute members of the mob which lynched Frank Brown, the worthless negro, has about subsided and the man W ho tied the rope around the negro's s neck has spoken out and defies prosecution. The whole matter is regarded as a tempest in tea pot affair and the question ot prosecution is regarded more in the way of joke than anything else.
