TO ESTABLISH COTTON BANKS.
Southern Cotton Association Plans
Vigorous Campaign this Summer.

Mr. E D Smith, the energetic
president of the South Carolina
Cotton association, has announced
that an effort will be made this
summer to organize cotton banks,
the plan being to use the cotton
stored in warehouses as capital
stock.
In any community where the
farmers and local business men can
secure $4,000 or 100000 as capl-
tai it is planned that they shall
organize company and erect a ware
house, which must be built accord
ing to regular plans. Then they
will be ready for business and will
propose that any farmer or any num-
Der of farmers deposit with them
their cotton, just as they might de-
posit their money with a bank.
Supposing that 400 bales of cotton
are deposited in this way and placed
in the ware house, with insurance
guaranteed by the company and no
storage charged, the company would
proceed to utilize this cotton just
a. the bank utiIizes the money de-
posted by its customers. Taking
the ware house receipts for 400
bales of cotton, the company would
90 to bank, or any other concern
J or person having money to lend, AMI
borrow money upon these receipts al
the current rate and current price
of cotton. With this money so Dor.
rowed the company would go into
the local market and purchase other
cotton, say 800 bales, which woule
be placed in the ware house. Their
upon these 800 bales the compan!
would again 60 to the bank and Dor
row money and with this money
again 90 into the local market ant
purchase other cotton, say 200 bales
| These 200 bales would then be plac
ed in the ware house and upon then
the company would borrow none!
with which again to enter the mar
ket and purchase other cotton, sa.
100 bales. This operation could b'
kept up until the borrowing capacl
ty of the cotton was exhausted, bu
this would hardly be necessary a
any time, and it would be possible
to return the original 400 bales
whenever the owner made demand

ton exports from the United
States will aggregate nearly 500
million dollars in the fiscal year
which ends with the present
month. The total for the II
months ending with May, as
shown by figures just announc-
ed by the bureau of statistics OF
the department OF commerce
and labor, is 470 milliea dollars,
and as the May exports aggre-
gate about go million dollars in
value, it seems to justify the
statement that the total for the
fiscal year 1907 will fall but
slightly below the 500 million
dollar line. This total OF ap-
proxlmately 500 million dollars
as the value of raw cotton eS-
ported from the country is far
in excess of that of any precec-
ing year in the history of the
cotton export trade. The larg-
est total value of cotton export
ed in any year prior to that now
about to end was that of 1905,
VIXEN the total was 40l million
dollars, the next highest being
that of 1905, $50 millions; in
1904, 81 millions; in 1908, 3l6
millions; in 1901, 314 millions,
prior to which time the value OF
cotton exported had never
touched the 800 million dollar
line. Prior to 1850 cotton ex-
ports never reached as much as
100 million dollars in value
annually and prior to 1860 had
never touched the 200 million
dollar mark, and it was not un-
til 1901 that they crossed the
800 million dollar line. Ii 1906
their value for the first time
crossed the 400 million-dollar
line, and in 1907 will nearly
reach the 500 million-dollar
mark.
Meantime, with all of this in
crease in expectation, the share
of the cotton crop Of the United
States which is consumed at
home is steadily increasing
The figures of the bureau OF sta
tistics show that in 1876 29 per
cent of the cotton crop OF the
United States was taken by
domestic mills; in 1886, :33 per
cent; in 1896 80 per cent, and
in 1906, IL per cent.

Union GRADED SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT.
A BELATED BUT VERY INTERESTING
ACCOUNT OF A NOTABLE

UCCASlUN.
ROME, June 10:-Union Graded
school, of this place, closed Its
years work May 80, the com.
mencement exercises being held
on Thursday evening, May 30.
A feature of the occasion was
an address by DR. Henry NJ
Snyder, of Wofford college on
Friday evening, June 1, which
was listened to with the most
earnest attention by the large
audience that assembled at the
commencement exercises of
Union Graded school-the pride
of our community. DR. Snyders
address was full of ennobling
ideas, practical thought and
lofty inspiration. As an orator
of the highest order Wof1ords
president has but few equals
and our school was indeed for
,tanate to secure him for this
occasion.
On Sunday a. m. the commence.
ment sermon was preached
by Rev T G Herbert OF George
town, and on Sunday evening
also an excellent sermon for the
benefit of the school was preach
ed by Rev TJ Glide.
At the commencement the
pupils of the school acquitted
) themselves with much credit to
themselves and the very efficient
teochers who trained them The
writer thinks that, as a whole,
the commencement OF Union
! Graded school was second to
none in the State.
The beautiful music rendered
by the pupils of Miss Rivers
class was not only pleasing to
the ear but fully demonstrated
her efficiency asa music teacher.
On Sunday the church was fill
ed to operfowing to hear Rev
T G Herbert's sermon. His text
was: John IS: Take up thy
bed and walk"
Mr. Herbert's sermon was OF an
unusually high order, both
! Interesting and edifying. The
fheTNsf his discourse was the
impS Vance of effort, or to be up
and doing as God would have
us do.
This writer thinks that he
voices the sentiment of every
body in saying that We are
pleased to learn that the next
: session of the school will oe
conducted by the same teachers,
viz: Prof o NJ Mitchell, Miss
Cora Huggins, Miss Marie
Rivers and one other to be
elected.

PRESENTATION AT LEA AVENUE
CHURCH,

Sunday morning at Lea Avenue
Church little Misses Lillian Cooper
and Ethel M. Terrell were awarded
prizes for selling large number
of tickets for the entertainment
given recently Miss Cooper really
won the prize, but the pastor gave the
little Terrell girl a little necklace
just like the one the other little girl
won. This was done because little
Ethel sold such a large number, and
also to encourage her. The Reds
and Blues, two clubs Of the church,
presented the church Sunday morning
with a purse of $65.6O, which was
raised at their last entertainment.
These same clubs are planning to
have another entertainment on the
fourth Monday night of next month.
They hope to raise enough to pay the

yersary of the beginning of the pas

Prof, Allen, principal of the Lin

passed through Nashville last Friday
morning en- route South. Prof. Allen
was seen by Globe reporter as he
alighted from ST. Louis train. He was
looking well, and when approached by
the Globe man at first did not seem to
remember him, notwithstanding they
met in Savannah Ca, last July. When
asked his destination he stated that
he was just making a general tour
southwark. after having had a sue
cessful year at the school in Missouri.
He contemplated visiting many cities
in Georgia, his native state. He did
not know whether he would return
via Nashville or not, but wanted to,
if possible. He asked about Walden
University, Fisk University and the
possibilities of the rebuilding of Rog,
er Williams. AS he and the Globe man
stood on the Broadway viaduct
he was pointed out the three build
ings of Fisk University that were
plainly visible from this point. Only
having thirty minutes in the city,
it was impossible for him to leave
the station on an inspecting tour.

THE KENTUCKY CONVENTION.

The Taft boom had a reef taken in
it's sail by the action of the Kentucky
State republican convention last week.
Though the Taft men claimed that
they were in control of the convention
they were unable to get specific en-
dorsement for their man. They take
comfort in the fact, though, that the
convention declared for man who
represented the Roosevelt policies.
Even this declaration was modified by
the amendment that it did not refer to
any certain man.
Taft is popular with the whites in
the South. Almost as popular since
the Brownsville incident, as Theodore
Roosevelt himself and it was to be
expected that the federal office-holders
who are trying to keep in touch with
the White House, and have so frequent
ly declared that next to the President
himself Taft was their choice, would
have been able to swing this border
state into line for the Ohioan. But
Brownsville proved too great a load
for Peaceful Bill. Kentucky feared
the Negro vote.
