Of the reputed friction with SOUTH
ern banks.
1t was emphasized that in VIVA
the president aud the secretary o.
the treasury had TO say with refer
ence to the lending Of treasury
funds for the relief of the cotton
situation that they we're actuated
sorele by a desire to make the con
templated action by the government
as beneficial to the cotton growers
as possible, and the first and easiest
way to that benefit occurred to
them to be through the lowest in
terest rate consistent with safe
banking methods and local condit-
ions. Obviously the government is
not compelled by law to place mil
lions of treasury funds in Federal
+ Reserve Banks or in national banks
/ for the accommodation of cotton
/ growers or the producers Of any
other commodity of great or small
export value, so what Secretary Of
/ the treasury McAdOO has voluntari-
: " DrODOsed to do. and the hone
i President Wilson expressed in his
/ his letter to Mr. Harding the bank
/ ers of the south would do in this
/ this emergency, was with a view to
rendering a measure of public ser
vice at a critical juncture in the
affairs Of a great producing section.
The administration knows and
appreciates that the varying con-
diions that obtain throughout the
great cotton raising section preclude
the fixing Of an arbitrary rate of in
terest. This fact was realized by
the trainers of the federal reserve
&C when they did not prescribe the
rate of interest that member banks
shall charge their customers for
loans.
In the present sO-called cotton
crisis the administration which has
given the country the splendid fed
/ eral reserve banking system feels
that it can render some service to
those whose very industrial life is
J staked upon the marketing Of this
, great staple crop at a fair price and
, making known its readiness to place
S30000,000 Of treasury funds, with
out interest, in the reserve banks OF
= the south. or, if desired, place that
amount OF more direct in the nat
) iOnal banks, it had at least a mora
j right to suggest that the banks lei
the growers of cotton benefit there
2 by at the minimum burden of cost
E It must be clear to the thinking anC
e unprejudiced that an administration
D willing and ready to render thai
? great service would not seek delib
r erately to create friction with tn,
f very agencies through which i
t must make that benefit felt.
Instead Of there being friction

A DENIAL.

"A OAAtAEAAe
Washington, Aug. 9O.-It was de-
RED at the Treasury Department
today that the administration was
seeking to dictate to southern banks
the maxium rate Of interest they
all charge on cotton loans. The
cratery of the treasury has neith-
e. the specific nor the arbitrary
authority to fix interest rates were
h dispostd to do so, and up to date
S not of official record that he
has sought to assume such authO
III. There is no law in the Fedsy
g Reserve act which authorizes a
& reserve bank to designate The
Tie of interest a member bank shall
c aree its customers. When the
:. cretary of the treasury placed
last yerr what was known as crop
moving funds in the national banks
tlruout the south, the southwest
lie middle west, and the west. he
did let it be known that he would
withdraw such funds from any
bunk that attempted to make loan
at exhurbitant rates of interest,
for the governments funds were
distributed for the specific purpOoe
facilitating the movement Of
crops in the then existing emergen-
& and not for the purpose of ad-
ding to the resources Of banks that
tuey might make loans at excessive
interests rates for their own pro
fits.
1t has developed within the past
few days that because Presid Mt
Wilson wrote letter to Mr. Hard
ing, the southern member Of the
Federal Reserve Board, in which
he expressed the hope that south
ern bankers would aid the produc-
ers of cotton by extending them
accommodations of a rate of inter
est not exceeding six per cent that
the administration had invited
friction with the banks of the south
that belonged to the Federal Re
serve Association. If the bankers
of the south are in a snarl because
of the suggestion thus made by the
president clearly in the interest Of
the cotton growers--bOth big and
little-the administration is with
out direct information to the effect

Mr.. Peck, who has just returned to

in South Mississippi for several days,
conferring with proprietors here. The
stock farm idea, which long has been
a hobby of his, was worked out in
detail while here on this visit.
At this time, the organization OF
which he is the head, owns something
like 100000 acres of timber land In
Lincoln county, in the vicinity o.
Brookhaven and Bude The company
is clearing something like 10000 acres
of this each year. 1t is estimated tha
it will take at least 80 years to Gu

Between two good sized streams
one of which is the Momochitto river
there is an unusually attractive area
it is said, especially adapted to stocl
raising. This contains about 275 acre
of the most fertile land.
An Ideal Location.
Mr.. Peck, after going over this acre
