TO FINANCE COTTON.
Nr. Richard Manning Explains the
Plan OF the Committees

The plan for financing the cotton
corp as adopted by the financial
committee Of the cotton congress
neld in Montgomery, was announced
by Richard l. Manning Of Sumter.
chairman Of the committee.
The following is the resolutions as
adopted
Whereas serious condition con-
fronts the South by reason of the af-
fort 10 depress the price of cotton
TO point where there is little or
no profit to the producer;
Whereas, every business interest
in the South is affected by these con-
ditions, therefore be it
Resolved, First, That every own
er Of spot cotton having obligations
confer with ris creditors and ar
range to have such part of his obli
cations carried as is consistent With
good business and agreeable to the
C, editor.
Second, In case where a creditor
finds it is not satisfactory to carry
the debt longer, that he, where DOS
sible. deposit his cotton in a respon-
sible warehouse and use the recent
as collateral with his neighbor or
with his banker to borrow funds with
which to hquidate his obligations.
Third. That all farmers not in
Volved decline to offer any cotton
until such time as prices have reach
ed figures in line with the recon-
mendation Of this convention, or a
figure in accord with the real law
Of suppl and demand.
Fourth, That all Southern men
who have means be urged to invest
portion Of the same in the distress
ed cotton at the present low figure
now prevailing and withhold same off
the market. thus adding Of their
patriotism and substance to win
this contest for commercial inde-
pendence of the South.
Fifth, That every bank in the
South be urged to co operate with
the plan now being envolved by the
national officials Of the Farmers
Union to bring outside capital to the
South to assist in financing the
crop"
