in h'« hand, bat thrie was no indict

then sworn out against Ed for this
alleged assault. Also the fact that the
two were after whiskey remitted in 1
more trouble, and the state sworr out I
a wa-. rant againat Geotge for trans-1

Governor Peblc said that a consid
c able portion of the $40,000,000 al
ready rediscounted for the member!
bantu of North Carolina, and South '
Ca ml I mi, consisted of advances made I
on cotton already gathered and in
storage.
"Our policy in this r.ipcet" the \
letter ho id, ■'in. nr ought to be well j
known throughout the whole district. |
It has been and Is one of.the greatest'
possible liberalities. We arc forbidden'
ny law to rediarounl paper, the pro-t
coeds of which have been or are to,
be used for investment* of a purely
speculative character, and we. there-1
fore, could not take or offer to take
paper secured by cotton buing delib
erately held for no other purpose
than to force up the price or corner
the market.
"On the other hand, wo have the;
right, which we been rxrrrlasd. fully
and freely to make advance* for thoj
purpose of enabling the producer* ofi
rotton to market it in an orderly
manner and not to be forced to damp
i it on the market, particularly when
thtre are no buyer*."
