became known in Hattiesburg today.
By giving as security warehouse re.

at the low rate Of G per cent. The
government Is taking this course with
view of assisting the farmers of the
South in holding their cotton until
the market price is such as will JUS
tify their selling it.
The first bang in Mississippi to
step forward and agree to cooperate
with the Treasury Department and
the Federal Reserve Bank in distrib'
uting part of the big gold fund, is a
Hattiesburg organization-The First
National Bank of Commerce. All ar.
rangements for lending out this
money of the government have been
made, and the question of obtaining
the gold is simple one.
Following the action of the local
bank, it is expected that other banks
of the state will, for the benefit OF the
cotton holders, make use of part Of
the fund. As yet, however, the Hat
tiesburg institution is the first ant
only one to agree to use the fund.
