Strlbiing, Pesdleton, p. C. _| 1 To Cotton Grovvors. ?i?. . I Here is some important: information for cotton growers that was read be fore the Anderson County Farmers' Union on lui?x June. Thin extract was taken from b? address delivered at the Anderson bankers' Association by a tinanbier from Boston on the subject ol cotton certificates: "In the matter of collateral paper offered by mills whose financial state ments are not anoh aa will warrant their single name paper being market ed, various forma of warehouse re ceipts covering cotton bave been offer ed m the North. Snob receipts cover ing* cotton stored in the warehouses of the mi?B have not been well received in Now York or Boston, for the reason that the cotton never really passes from the owner's hands into an independent warehousing company. "If a warehouse receipt is to be re ceived with favor, it must be issued by a company of sufficient capital and financial strength to insure its stabil ity'in all markets, whose management must bo ouch as to render it absolute ly certain that ouch receipts represent the actual cottou stored aa described, and that it will be held by the ware housing coming on its own premises, or upon leased premises seperate and distinct from those belonging to the mill to whom the receipt is issued. Personally I am a great believer in this class of security and I am glad to know that in Sonth Carolina a number of independent standard warehouses have been built, and that companies have formed, or are in process of or ganization to develop this clnra of bus iness, I believe you will bave no trouble in getting unlimited capital in the north at low rates, to carry cotton warehouses in this manner." Fanners' Cotton Exchange Warehouse Plans, After hearing reporte from the va rious local Unions of the county and discussing the same, the consensus of opinion was that the Union at large had reported in favor of bnilding cot ton warehouses of their own, and the following resolutions were unanimous ly adopted as a starter towards the perfecting of plans that we may get to work at once to raise the necessary capital for building these houses: Resolved, 1st. That in order to pro vide a reliable and safe plan by which all cotton growers may obtain ad vances on reasonable terms on bis cot ton when current priceo are not profit able to the grower, we recommend the bonded warehouse system of the standard plan. 2nd. That in order to raise capital to bni'" these warehouses we recom ! mend * the shares he placed at the .par.va.uo. of one dollar .Ach, and that all land owners or tenants subscribe ono shnro for each bale of cotton rais ed on their farms for tho year 1905. :Jrd. In order to insure protection to tho interest of cottou growers these certificates of shares in these cotton warehouses bo written on a plnu of noutransferablo stock, except by a two-thirds vote of all tho stock invest ed in each warehouse. 4tb. That all funds thus paid into the bands of local unions for warehouse ouiposea be deposited in some responsi ble bank aubject to draft of district warehouse committee for tho use of constructing and maintaining ware houses for the Uho of cotton growers. 5th. Aa all cotton growers are mu tually interested in controlling the marketing of cotton, wo recommend that theae warehouses be located at such places in the district as a major ity vote of all the wnrehouse certifi cates of stocks may indicate each local business agent casting the votes for their respective local unionB. If you have a better plan to get up these warehouses be sure to put it in writing and submit it to the next County Union on 11th July. Remem ber, that thin ntocl: for warehouse fund is to be made up by the local Unions between now and the next county meeting. It is generally understood that the amount of stock taken were to be based upon an estimation of bales for this year'a crop of cotton. This warehouse stock will bean in vestment that may be made to pay you good dividends besides increasing your power to protect your interest by controling the marketing of cotton. The Farmers' Cotton Exchange. MucL has been said recently about getting the proper man to manage our cotton exchange. We have designa ted this man as our business agent for our district or county, when reallv he should be r.?thiog more nor less than the manager of our district fermera' cotton exchange. Now, it io a well known fact in the commercial world that in order to do business either the manager of this cotton exchange or cotton exchange itself moat have sufficient capital or licenciai strength to insure its strength and stability in all markets; or the cot ton exchange itself must be a corpora tion backed by its bonded warehouses with sufficient securitiea to make its rating and reputation as to its manage ment ereditable in proportion to the amount of basinesa in view. Banks, cotton mills or other corpora tions are not rated in a financial way according to the individual wealth of their managers, but their ratings are quoted according to amount invested and character of its management. About the financial rating of the farmers' cotton exchange, we have on ly to refer to the average crop of cot ton to ahow to the cotton growers of Anderson County that if they will only line up in this warehouse business half as well as they have been talking, the cotton growers of Anderson County can organize a cotton exchange of as cood financial rating as any corpora tion in the county. Government cot ton reports show that Anderson county produced over 60,000 bales last year and that she will continue to average over 50,000 bales. If half the growers would subscribe $1.00 per bale for building the ware houses and deposit houses only one-tenth of their cotton as an additional collateral, we have approx - imately $25,000 in realty and a capital of $ 125,000.00 in cotton and could tre ble this without embarrassment at any time. ThiP.it would Be?tn, ia a nucleus to start a real good creditable couuty cot ton exchange. Farmers, it. is up to you to put up j the stull' or shut up ami go way back I and sit down and behave yourselves [ like you have been doing, and whon tho cotton maniuulators levy a -tribute of $5.00 or $10.00 per bale on your cot ton just go right up and turn it in as usual. Which will you do? Washington Accepted as Place of Peace Conference. St. Petersburg, June IS. ? Russia has finally and definitely accepted .Wash- I ington as the meeting place of the Rus sian and Japanese plenipotentiaries, tho foreign ottlce having waived its request for reconsideration at the per sonal action of the emperor, whose de sire to give the fullest and fairest op portuning to President Roosevelt's proposal for a peace conference, is hereby manifested. After his confer ence with Ambassador Meyer, Count Lamsdortr, the foreign minister, went last night to Peterhoft' and laid the matter before the emperor, who, on learning that insistence on The Hague might endanger the negotiations, di rected Counts Lanisdorff to inform Am bassador Meyer that Russia would ac cept Washington. It was after midnight when the foreign minister returned from Peter hoff, but Ambassador Meyer was forth with notified, and a cipher dispatch waB prepared and sent to the State ! department at Washington nt an early hour this morning. Count Lamsdorft' this afternoon is sued a publie announcement of the selection of Washington. The result is looked upon as a de cided triumph for American diplo macy. In certain quarters here envy and jealousy of the United States are ill concealed. The entire collapse of the negotiations was predicted yesterday, and there was almost open exultation at what was declared to be a "rebuff to Roosevelt." Even in peace circles gloomy faces were drawn at the report that Russia would insist upon The Hague, bat thanks to the personal attitude of the emperor and of the well put represen tations of Ambassador Meyer, the threatened diplomatic mountain has decreased to a molehill, over which negotiations can now proceed rapidly. The Gazetta, which is known as a mouthpiece of the foreign office, de clares that nothing is yet known re garding Japan's terms. It intimates that Russia may not balk at an indem nity significantly stating that inter national control of the Chinese Eastern railroad is possible as a nienns of in suring payment of an indemnity. It says that the plenipotentiaries will have special powers and may be au thorized to conclude peaco. ? The building of an electric rail way between Donvld's ant! Due West is under discussion. The distance is four miles*. ? J. G. Padgett, a lawyer of Wal terboro, says the dispensary will be voted out of CoV.eton five to one. There are five dispensaries in that county.
