FARMERS SEEK AID
STATE FARMERS UNION SENDS
LETTER OF REQUEST TO SEQ
RETARY McADOO.
FOR MOVING COTTON CROP
Official Urged to Deposit Money With
the Banks Who Are in Sympathy
With the Rural Districts.

Columbia. - The South Carolina
State Farmers union has addressed
an open letter to Secretary McAdoo
urging him to deposit the government
funds for the moving Of crops with
banks close to and in sympathy with
the farmers and not to require these
banks to pay tribute to Intermediary
banks which are not in sympathy with
the farmers.
The letter is signed by E. W.; Dabbs,
president Of the union; J. B. Whetsell,
vice president; R. M. Cooper, B. Har-
ris and J. H. shealy, executive COM
mite; attest, J. Whitner Reid, sec.
rotary, and is in full as follows:
eve, the undersigned committee
on banking and currency, cotton ware
housing and marketing Of the South
Carolina State Farmers union, having
full power to act for the same, and
under the instruction Of the state
union at the recent annual meeting
in Anderson, S. c., desire to express
to you our appreciation Of the recent
announcement that you will again de-
post treasury funds with certain
banks in the agricultural states to
aid in the movement Of crops. We
also note with pleasure that you will
give a longer time limit If necessary
than you did last year. However, we
regret to see that you have designated
banks in the same cities as last yeal
to handle these deposits. Our obser
walton of the working Of the plan last
year was that many Of the banks In
which you deposited this fund were
not in accord with your policy, and re
'quired s per cent for the funds you let
them have at 2 per cent, and IN some
instances required the rs per cent on
the sum borrowed stay on deposit,
thus making this money cost some
country banks as much as 8 per cent
ITO a large extent this policy de-
feated the object and aim of your &C.
ton, viz, that cheap currency should
be abundant in the farming districts.
We do hereby urge upon you that you
deposit these government funds, with
the banks that come closest to the
farmers, and not require these banks
to pay tribute to intermediary banks
who are not in sympathy with the
farmers, nor with their purposes.
