Cotton buying has nanv
crooks and turns, and there are
many chaLces to win and loose,
but Mr.. A. F. Funderburk was
chuckllng over a new scheme
he was putting over Saturday.
"A custom has grown up that the
regular cotton buyers who are
responsible men may overdraw.
their accounts, pay interest on
the overdraft, sell the cotton and
take up the overdraft, but they
have to sell when the banks de,
mand the money. Mr.. Fundcr-
burk is a buyer and therefore
entitled to the overdrawing priv
ilege. Saturday he had an oh,
legation to meet, and didn't have
the cash, but had cotton which
was grown on his farm. How
ever, he was holding the cotton
for better price, and was not
ready TO sell. He then decided
TO do this: buy the cotton from
himself, overdraw his cotton ac-
count, write check to himself,
pay his obligation with the
check, and hold the cotton.
Have you got any thing you can
sell to yourself. pay YOUR debts
and still have TIE stuff?
1t happened several days ago
and we wanted to tell it last
week, but our fighting editor
has resigned and we were afraid.
We have secured the faithful
promise of safety on our part
however, and now we venture
10 give the facts in the case, so
far as we are able to learn them.
Mr.. H. B. Graves and Mr.. ]. +
Agerton are among the amateur
cotton buyers here and of course
