Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Early in. the summer a. crowd of young fellows got, together, bought some instruments. secured the ser vices of Prof. Schroile as instructor and started what had the promise of being a pretty fair brass band: All this was done upon the members own resources, they paying tuition, music and other necessary expenses, with out thought of reimbursement and nnerely for the sake of sausic and that Conway might boast brass band. They played at the fair. the street carnival and other public occasions without pay. A few benefits were had at the theaters without noticeable inr crease in attendance. B. as
 Other towns not nearly So large as Conway have bands whose instru- ments and tuition are paid for by a band association composed of the pub Iicrspirited citizens. Conway is pub iic-spirited town, as her many ita- provements will testify: We have a School and Civic. Club. whose. mission is to stir up civic pride. ....

COTTON LOANS FUND
 IS NOW SUBSCRIBED
MADOO ANNOUNCES COMPILE TON OF WORK-MILLION
 REFUSED.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The coun- ton producers and find a bottom for the cotton market came to success full conclusion last night, when Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo an- nounced the completion of the $135,- 100000 cotton loan fund. In making his announcement, Mir. McAdoo de- clared the success of the plan was now assured.
 The secretary's statement came at the end of a day devoted to efforts to secure the subscriptions necessary to Icomplet the subscriptions necessary to complete the $1O0,000,00O portion of the fund assigned to banks in non- cotton producing states.
 Earlier in the day Mir. McAdoo is- sued a denial that the fund was about to fail and stated that it still lacked only a few million dollars to insure success.
 Following this, MT. McAdoo, Paul M. Warburg and w. P. G. Harding, member of the Federal Reserve Board in active charge of the pool plan, took active steps to gather in the remain ing millions.
 Kuhn, Loeb & Go. of New York, of which MT. Warburg was a partner be- fore he came to the board, agreed to subscribe s2,OOO,OO0. At luncheon given by John Skelton Williams, Ber- nard M. Baruch of New York said that he might invest in the fund up to $1, 800, ,000. His offer was taken to the extent of $1,OO0,OO0 and the fund con- pleted. A few hours after MT. Ba- ruch's offer word was received from several banks that they were willing to subscribe to an amount of $2,500,- 900, but their assistance was not need- ed. AS it stands, the fund is ovevr- 'subscribed'about $300,O00.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-11-18

In announcing the completion of the plan, MT. McAdoo said:
 'I am gratified to be able to an- nounce the success of the cotton loan fund. Subscriptions for the entire S100,0O0,00O of class A certificates were completed this. afternoon. This assures the success of the plan. To such extent as banks in the southern states subscribe to class E certificates, the S100,000, 900 realized from the class A certificates will be available for loans on cotton at siX cents per pound"
