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.

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.
There were present at the dinner,
Friday night 'a dosen of the. leading
manufacturers ot tne Carolinas, rep
resenting mills that use about 500,000 ..
bates of cotton annually.
Other prominent ?u?!l men had been
irvited to be present sad particip?t*-.,
but they were-prevented by absence]
from -the state: They all however |
forwarded telegrams expressing their i
hearty Interest in tne plan and their]
willingness to co-operate in any man
ner deemed feasible. Those present]
