cotton for higher prices. Announcement
to this effect will be made in the Dalton
Citizen which will be published today.
The bank offers to lend the farmers
money to tide them over the rough
places, but does so without giving them
advice as to what steps to take. II they
think cotton will bring a better price
later, they can secure the money on
their product and hold 1.-THE matter of
opinion as to whether or not the pri~s of
the staple will go to higher figures being
left altogether with them.
Spectators in cotton who have gone
to the bank to borrow money this year
as they have done in the past have been
met with the statement that there's
nothing coming to them until the farm
ers have been sounded and it is seen
whether or not they want the money 1t
is departure from customary business
proceedings in the matter, but the bank
stands behind the proposition.
There are many farmers who would
like to hold their cotton. but the pres
sure of debts which must be met has,
in the past, forced them to sell at what
they could get; but the announcement
of the local institution gives them the
chance to hold their cotton If they so
