CURRENCY DURING
THE WAR 1861-5
The gigantic war of 1861-5 in
the United States, presents in the
history of our nation a moment-
ous era. The financial condition
of the South was during the time
mentioned, at ofnce novel and
startling. In the early part of
the struggle the new government
at Richmond, to meet its passing
wants, provided for the issuance
of an immense amount of paper
money. This being put into the
hands of army contractors, quar
termasters, and commissaries,
speedily found its way to every
part of the South. Then follow-
ed a scene in commercial matters
difficult to be described. Gold,
ever jealous of its own value,
and fearful of being depreciated
by being brought into contact with
this new money, immediately
withdrew from the public gaze,
and crept into the safe of the
merchant, and the stocking and
shot-bag of the countryman. In
no respect behind in this money-
making, the several states issued
a large amount of their notes, for
circulation within their borders.
Following the example of the
states and the general govern-
ment, and big with the import-
ance of the occasion, each county
of each state, and every city in
every county, poured its offering
into the public lap in the shape of
a large amount of county or city
warranty to be used as money, in
amounts varying from twenty-five
cents to ten dollars.
One would suppose that money
would have been plentiful enough
now; but no—every man in busi-
ness, from the first merchant in
the city down to the negro bar-
ber around the corner, boiling
over with patriotism, threw out
upon the public bushels of shin-
plasters, which he cooly gave you
in exchange for your Confederate
money or State Warrants, and
plandly assured you that it was
quite necessary for the public
welfare, perfectly solvent and an
elegant circulating medium. What
did it signify that his next door
neighbor who sold lager beer
would not receive it, but assured
you that his money was current
throughout the city 7 Or that
the druggist over the way who
sold you a bottle of bitters de-
clared that they both were worth-
less, and that he had only been
driven to the necessity of issuing
his tickets to supply the demand
for small change? This only
argued envy, hatred, malice, and
all uncharitableness, and detract-
ed nothing from the intrinsic val-
ue of the circulating medium. A,
perfectly anomalous condition of
affairs now presented itself. Scores
of men who never had a hundred
dollars in coin at a time in their
lives, opened shops, got a box
of tobacco, a barrel of whiskey,
and a few remnants of dry groods,
and began making paper money
and buying houses and lands.
Every individual sovereign in the
land, no matter how ragged his
breeches, had his pockets full of
money and could accomodate you
to anything you wanted from a
confederate fifty-dollar note to
a twenty-five cent county war-
rant, or from a five hundred dol-
lar four per cent bond down to
a ten cent “Sour Lake Volcanic
Springs” shin-plaster. This was
the state of things in the year
1862. During that year Con-
federate money fall to twenty-five
cents on the dollar, and in 1864,
by the first of July it had reach-
ed a point when it was worth but
two cents on the dollar, or fifty
for one.
The existence of the blockade,
which the Federal government had
strictly enforced since the begin-
ning of the war, prevented the
monetary affairs of the Southern
Confederacy from affecting the
rest of the world.
Thrown entirely on their own
resources, the people depended up-
on themselves, and the immense
debt due by the Confederate gov-
ernment was due almost entirely
to its own citizens, who regarded
its settlement as doubtful, and
as a matter of comparatively
small consequence. During all
this time the government tried to
enhance the value of the money
by a direct tax levied upon it.
These taxes, which in amount per-
haps exceeded anything recorded
in history ^mounting to ten,
twenty, thirty, or even fifty per
cent in some cases, were submitted
to and paid by the people with a
resignation which the ancient
patriarch of Uz would have con-
templated with profound respect.
Winners in this year’s plant
judging contest were Harvey Faris
in the Senior Division and Bob
Duke in the Junior Division. This
contest is sponsored annually by
the Bandera Soil Conservation
District in connection with the
Junior Livestock Show. Faris in
winning the senior division, cor-
rectly identified 34 of the 35
plants on the list. Duke identi-
fied 31 plants correctly to win
the junior division. Sam Duke
was runner-up in the junior di-
vision and Ed Mauldin of Tarpley
was again runner-up in the sen-
ior division. Prizes in both di-
visions were donated this year
through the courtesy of the Con-
oly Drug Store and Boyle’s Stores
of Bandera.

Recent cold temperatures ap-
parently has winter-killed a large
part of the small grain in the
District. In order to protect
fields from erosion by both wind
and water during the spring
months, a cover crop of some kind
should be planted on these fields.
Soil improving crops such as hu-
bam or Madrid clovers can be
planted right now. Cover would
protect and improve the soil and
could also furnish some livestock
grazing or hay during the late
spring months. Guar which is
soil improving crop as well aa a
cash crop, could be planted on
these fields later in the spring.
For additional information about
planting spring cover crops, con-
tact your Soil Conservation Serv-
ice technicians assisting the Ban-
dera SCD.

District supervisors Tony Jen-
nings and Lee Mansfield attended
the 21st Annual Meeting of the
Texas Association of Soil Con-
servation Districts which was held
at the Granada Hotel in San An-
tonio last week. District super-
visors from Texas’ 181 soil con-
servation districts were present

held annually to bring district sup-
ervisors and other conservationists
together for an exchange of ideas
and to transact business of the
association. Highlight of the con-
vention was a banquet on Friday
night at which Don Williams, Soil
Conservation Service Administra-
tor from Washington D. C., gave
the principal address, and awards
were presented to district super-

more.

closing prayers. The third quar-
ter audit was approved and Quar-
ter Master Gabe Anderwald re-
ported a substantial balance in
the general fund and in the relief

Members expressed their sor-
row over the passing of their
comrade Edgar R. Freeman, who
passed away in December, and
they prepared an expression of
sympathy to send to his family.
Following the transaction and
discussion of other business, the
meeting adjourned at 8:50 pjn.

ing will be held at the Legion Hall
in Bandera on Friday, February
9th, at 8 p.m. All members are
urged to attend and are to be
reminded that the election of Post

lar monthly meeting in March,
so please begin to think now about
nominees for the various offices.
HOW MUCH SOCIAL
SECURITY IS CREDITED TO
YOUR ACCOUNT?
Self-employed business people
have been covered by social se-
curity since 1961 but few except
those who have retired or become
eligible to retire have bothered
to find out if their credits are
in order. According to John D.
Palmer, district manager of the
San Antonio Social Security of
fice, some people have even failed
to file social security reports be-
cause they thought that coverage
was optional.
“Credits to your social security
account as a self-employed person
depends on the social security
section of the income tax report,”
Palmer said. For the butcher and
the baker it is the Schedule “C.”
For the farmer it is the Schedule
*F.” Except for the farmer, the
report is required if net earnings
are $400 or more net from the
business. Ffor the farmer, he
can file the report and pay the
social security tax if the gross
income is $600 or more even
though the net income is less than
$400. He, too, must file the Sche-
dule “F” and pay the tax if the
net income is more than $400.
Social Security credits for the
self-employed are by the year.
If he gets any credits he gets
four “quarters of coverage.” Be-
cause of the changes in 1960 and
1961, he does not need as many
credits as in the past. He now
needs one quarter of coverage
for each year from January 1,
1951, up to the year he is 65.
(For women, the time is up to
the year they are 62).
Palmer said that a self-em-
ployed person can get a record of
hiB social security credits by re-
questing a postal card from any
social security office and sending
a card to the central office in
Baltimore. He will receive a
record of the earnings credited to
his account
