SUMMERSETT FOR COMPTROLLER GENERAL EXPOSITION NOT TO BE DELAYED Panama Exposition Will Be Held In San Francisco On Dates As At First Planned (From Saturday's Daily.) For a time it was fearod that thu war in the foreign countries would in terfere with the Panama exposition, which is to bo held in San Francisco and some even feared that the expo sition might never be held, but it seem?, that all theuc fears arc ground less, Judging from a telegram recclv. ed in Anderson yesterday. CharleB C. Moore of San Francisco, general sec retary of tlio exposition^ yesterday telegraphed to W. B. Sullivan of Co lumbia, . manager of the South Caro lina exposition committee, in whicn the San Francisco man arsured Mr. Sullivan that the exposition 1b to be held and that there will be no post ponement of dales. He makes thu positive statement that the exposition will opon in February, t915. Mr. Mnorn *.iys in his telegram that the E'.ropean var, Instead of hurting the exposition will help It, because of thy fact that the thousands of Amer icans to be found at all seasons of ev ery year traveling in Europepn coun tries, will be unable to make the trip in 1915 and will therefore remain at homo und attend the exposition, insur ing a much larger attendance. The telegram also pays that only five of the 37 foreign countries- to be represented ?t the exposition are now at war and that probably three of these and possibly all five, w'iil send their exhibits anyway. ' Mr. Moore Bays that this is a splen did opportunity for American manu I .facturcre to impress the foreign countries with the worth of the artl Icles they manufacture and that the I displays to bo sent to tho exposition should bo twice as elaborate on that account. !

Tho Taylor plan has been j endorsed by tho bankers and busl- ! nens men. as well as farmerb. in alt parts of North Carolina and tho pres ident of the Wilmington chamber of commerce eoemr to believe tnat It will bo equally successful if tried in this Stato. The plan is tc store the cotton In bonded warehouses and in rural ware houses wherever possible. Where there Is no rural warehouse tho cot ton Is to be placed In the bonded warehouses In the city. Through the government action tho secretary will then extend tbo currency law to tho Stato banks tiud trust companies through tho l?*go city National banks and then in turn tho stato br.uks will lend direct to tho fe rner. ' . The plan- provides for a wide dis tribution of the rural warehouse, "vnd in those rural warehouses tho plan advises that one-half " of tho crop ho stored and the other half bo mar keted. "The p??Di ai au provides that whero the. warehouses aro covered with wobH, that this covering bo re placed with metal and If there la a rural section without a warehouse tho plan provides for planters getting to gether and borrowing monoy from tho local banks with which, to erect sdeh a building. The Wilmington .people say that they have given the plan very careful consideration and can flrt'd no flawe in It and do not believe thit the farmers of South Carolina can try any better method of meeting tho situation face to face.
