GEORGIA BANKS NOT
STOP COTTON LOANS
They Have No Instructions From
Federal Reserve Board to Dis
continue Such Practice.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 2.-Cotton grow.
ers of middle Georgia will be given
credit on their cotton this year just
as they have been in the past in spite
of reported orders from the Federal
Reserve Bank officials to the contrary
Announcement to this effect was
made by local bank officials who state
that they have received no orders to
curtail cotton credits and have no
intention Of doing 80.
Jesse B. Hart, president of the Ma
con National Bank and G. B. Clarke,
vice president of the Citizens and
Southern Bank, in discussing the To-
cal cotton situation point out that in
spite of reports from Washington
that Governor Harding of the FEEDER
al Reserve Board has said that credit
will not be extended for the purpose
of keeping commodities off the mar
ket, they have received no instruc-
tions regarding curtailment, of cot.
ton loans and in the absence Of such
instructions they expect to protect
them so far as this is humanity posi-
ble.~
That the cotton situation is serious
at present, these bankers admit. Cot
ton which cost from IS to 3S cents a
pound to raise is now selling for ten
cents per pound less than these fig.
ures, it is pointed out.
1t is to prevent farmers being fore
ed to sell at such ruinous loss, bank
ers say, that they expect to extend
all the credit possible consistent with
sound banking rules. In no single
case it is stated, has any farmer in
this section been refused credit on
cotton so far this season.

Buy Shares With Cotton

Columbia, Sept. 30.-The com
mittee appointed to decide the ques'
ton as to whether or not there
should be organized an exporting
corporation to handle the, sale OF
cotton aboard, especially to Central
Europe, met in Columbia yesterday
and unanimously decided to proceed
at once with the organization of
the corporation. The name selected
is American Products Exports and
Import corporation.
The capital stock will at first be
$1O,0OO,000, to be later increased
as conditions demand.
Z Ex-Governor Richard I. Manning
was selected as chairman Of the
committee on organization and will
at once proceed to secure the sub
scriptions necessary to obtain a
charter.
Columbia will be the headquarters
of the company.
Governor Manning is now pre-
pared to receive subscriptions. The
par value of the stock will be $40
per share, and subscriptions are
payable in cash or in cotton at the
market price, or in Liberty bonds at

LID
SCREWED DOWN IN
NEW YORK CITY

Warrington, Sept. 30.-The prohi'
bition lid is now screwed down tight
in New York City, an official OF
Commissioner Kramer's office de,
clared today. The principle problem
he added, now centers in Buffalo,
Chicago and Detroit. Only drastic
action and a liberal sprinkling Of
Jail sentences can clean up things in
those cities, it was admitted. Proxi-
nifty to the Canadian border and
lack of sympathy in the part of local
officials with prohibition are given
as the chief reasons for prevailing
wetness.
One of the worst spots is Detroit
which is separated from wet Cana
dian territory only by river.
Sellers, it was stated, have been
buying whiskey at 81 per bottle in
Windsor and selling it in Detroit
from $40 to SIS. So profitable has
the business become that they have
moved into spacious residences in
the most fashionable section Of
town. Their sudden prosperity led to
investigation, and several are now
behind the bars.
Chicago is given an especially wet
character by an inspector who re-
Gently returned from that city.
Coal and lumber barges from the
Canadian side of the Great Lakes
are reported to stop at Chicago
with concealed cargoes of spirits.
The same situation obtains in Buff
falo.
