DUKE OUTLINES PLAN, AND CAROLINA MANUFAC TURERS ENDORSE IT BENEFIT OF ALL SAYS REPORT Meeting Celled for Greenville Tuesday and Conference for Charlotte Wednesday Charlotte, March 16.?J. B. Duke of New York, was the guest Tuesday night of a nmber of representative cotton- manufacturera at the Southern Manufacturers Club at a dinner given by Stuart \V. Cramer, president of the American cotton manufacturers as sociation. Mr. Duke had been invit ed to explain, in detail, his proposed plan for warehousing cotton and for a conference to work out the details BrloPy, tho Duko plan proposes a co operative organization owning a chain of warehouses available alike for the use of farmers, merchants and manu facturers; the receipt, weighing, samp ling, grading and storage of bales of cotton; the issuance of warehouse re cstpts therefor; an adequate system oi Beating, inspecting and auditing, board of directors and managing offl zt:z:,zr. fvoui uouk?ug ana nnan-l dal centers that shall b? entirely free [ from connection or alliance with tho users of the warehouse; and, lastly, the certifying of the warehouse rc ceipts by powerful and well'known banking interests that will guarantee tbo integrity and quality of the col lateral reprea anted bv the receipt. Simple. Pr?ctieaL The cotton " manufacturers present were struck with the simplicity and practicability of the plan and gave it their instant and hearty endorsement, realizing that the bolder of such cer tified warehouse receipt? would be in possession of probably the best col lateral In the world for commercial pa per. While the greater part of the cotton crop is being marketed Ip the tall, cotton mills generally buy all cr a largp &ar.t,.olt<!tnajrf:jKaa^s agprty for Immediate, or .lutori delivery, either transaction requiring both warehouse capacity and financing ability aggre gating many millions of dollars. That has imposed a burden so great that even large mills have found their legi timate manufacturing and merchandiz ing operations curtailed and circum scribed by their financial require ments. T*??-?S3?igh!y iipii.-0uiai.ins the cV.iat oral value of cotton, many schemes have htcii ?iovi?e? by both producers and consumera, whereby He legitimate holding could b? both'efficiently and cheaply effected; the most common de fect- of all of them has been that they attempted either too much or too lit tle.. f o-operaMvo Warehouse Plan* The Duke proopsition <s merely a co-operative warehouse plan worked out to meet strictly conservative bank ing requirements; tbo touch of genius that stamps this plan lies in the cer tification of the paper that will give it, financially speaking . an international nspect. Like all Duke propositions, this pres ent one is constructive and along util tarian lin?,s; existing warehouses and accomodations are to be utilized and none discontinued or wasted. It is propsed that the new organization take over auch proportion of the mills' warehouses as are available, end such farmers' and merchants 'warehouses as care to come In. supplementing sU{ by building auch additional warehona-i cs at conveniently located points as will provide for tht warehousing of at least 1,000,000 halcu of cotton for a be ginning. To accomplish this result a % 5,000,000 warehouse company vill he organized one which can afford a management that will insure absolute confidence In the Integrity of Its oper ation and will Insure that its receipts and guarantees are effective. There is no quostion hut that the money mar kets of the world today are eagerly seeking the highest classes of com mercial paper, and there is ho douht but that receipts issued by such a company certified by the strongest financial institutions in the United States, -will furnish southern farmers and merchants and manufacturers, with the money required for holding cotton In legitimate operations at the very lowest market rates.

The commit tee on organization will hold special meetings in Greenville. S. C, on Tues day. March 17, and in Charlotte N. C., ! on Wednesday, March 18. Cheap Mosey. A compelling feature of the Duke] plan is that it is not in the interest of any individual or class; it is a broad wide-open proposition that will give , tlie farmer, merchant and manufactur er of tbe south the chespest money in the world. While It is being launch ed by the cotton manufacturers as the outcome of their own pressing needs, | they were quick to appreciate the breadth and scope of the proposition,1 its far reaching possibilities, for the general development of the whole south, and are more than contented to of the money markets of the world receive as their part the cheap rates that this cotton warehouse company bring to their doors. . Of Paramount Concern. The news of the fact that Mr. Duke is again interested in his cotton ware housing plan will be of commanding inctrest throughout the south. It willj be' recalled that he manifested a sun-, liar concern in the general proposition, years ago hut by reason of the prc-oa of, other buslnessi was froced to postpone it. That he is again willing to re-( ?? "? ronsidcritic- z" tin ?oocr?l un dertaking i? r.ot?bic. It should be borne In mind at this time however, that the initiative comes from the manufacturers and Hot primarily from thr great tobacco magnate. The manufacturers, aware of the peculiar needs of the situation, adn keenly ap-, preciative of the value and accruing benefits of auch n scheme sre urging its adoption, and Mr. Duke has signi fied a willingness to co-operate with them. Th? fact should also be borne in mind that while the manufacturerai ?re taking the initiative, they are not' peratlflg -for their sole benefit but for benefit of the country at large, well country will help them. Hence their. ;owing that anything that helps the re to enlist the co-operation of ..J*ra,--iuerchar.ts, bankers and the various intorastasubserved generally.' it is* n rr?t*pra*h%t has for its-aba ; and end the more adequate haadliag-f and disposal of tbe great .potion crop : of the Boutlv?a great resource that has heretofore been handled in a fnan-j ner obsolete and wasteful, that has en- ! tailed millions of loss to tbe south. | Leading Manufacturers Endorse It.
