luton Of marketing the seasons
crop. At a meeting OF the rep.
resentatives Of the Columbus
banks held Thursday they de-
cided to advance five cents a
pound or t25 a bale on the staple.
This means, however. that the
farmer in need Of funds can
mortgage his cotton until the
market advances, and further in
the season selling 1t at a much
higher price than Is now offered.
A meeting of the business men
Of the city was held at the Cham
ber of Commerce Headquarters
on South Market street Thursday
evening and about ole hundred
citizens were present. The cot
ton situation was thoroughly
discussed and many suggestions
were offered for holding the
staple until the demand revives.
The movement made by the local
banks, the plan Of everyone able
buying a bale of cotton, and the
Simmons plan were heartily en-
dorsed by the gentlemen present.
The meeting wae called to or
der by Mr.. :Thos. ]. Locke. Jr.,
president OF the Chamber Of
Commerce. who explained the
object Of the gathering, and told
of what other cities are doing to
relieve the situation.

alone will not remedy the cause" ;"
said Mr.. G. F. Sherrod, when
called upon for a statement,
but we as men can overcome
the dark clouds which hover
over us. Let's store our cotton
and get a small allowance. $25
is all should be asked. 1t might
cramp some, but would relieve
the present demand upon us.
Going shoulder to shoulder we
can get out of the difficulty"
Good suggestions were offered
by quite a number of others
present, and among those who
made short talks were: Messrs.
E. L. Tarry, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, George
Banks, E. C. Chapman. Parker
Reeves, j. w. Lipscomb. F. R.
Simms. William Simpson, W. H.
Carter, w. II. Carothers and
Sim Sparks.
Before the meeting adjourned,
the following motion was offered
by Mr.. V. B. lines, and was
adopted: THAT it is the sense OF
this meeting that the Chamber
of Commerce Immediately in
augurate a propaganda urging
the farmers to hold as much of
their cotton as possible, or as
much as practical; that the farm.
ers of the county be apprised of
the privileges of securing money
on their cotton at the rate of Sc

of marketing the same further
