(., API1L 1, 1911. The Advertiser will be glad to receive the local news of all the comnuulties In the county. Cor respondents are requested to sign their nanmes to the contri bttions.. Letter should not be malled later than Monday morn ing. h'le Newberry lerald and News and the Newberry Observer issued silien did eduicatioial editions last week as a boost to the school fair and as an encoltrageiment to the general educa tlonal forces o1' the counlty. We ble lieve that there is no other single agency, ottside of the school iachin ery itself, on w1leih the educational irogress of the state depends more than the county-seat pajiers and the Newherry papers seema to have a full realization of tie responsibility. 'he i'wholesale and retail merchants of Greenville met several nights ago to iap oit plans for a general adver tising camn pa ign in IIthe counties suril rounding that city. 'lhe newspapers of Spartanhurg have taken note of this stel) on the part of Greenville and are preparing to do the same thing. The Greenwood cla:nlher of commerce is laying plans for an automobile adver tising tour of the territory surrounid ing it. hus, on Iiiee sides, Laurens is beset by aggressive competitors. All of these cities are taking advantage of every opportuIi ity Which offers and are spending .money to extend their trading areas and hold tbeir owii agaist rivals. They are fighting for burinessi an d going about it inl a bu si nesslike wa y. lile:is lIteins nr (hatl yet togeler and (o likewise, much('1 prorltable bulsiness, will be tak (I] awIvay froit (:n and th % will be left il the race. DiifKM WAR IOl. lAN. We a r; viti those of oir xching es who hi ave emiiioned against accept aner of I iI l(k wareiotise plan without, further exinllIation into the efails of the dan II and tle motive be hind its suggestion. We ar'e not readly to charge ulterior miotives to the New York finanicier or his backers, but it would not hurt to go slow in the mat ter. There seems to be considerable coni fusoon -as to whom the plan is to ben efit and by whom It is really fathered. When tile plan was first suggested by Mr. D~uke, the claim was 'made, we are not qiuite certain by3 homi, that it wias In thme Iiterest of the farmers of ii cout'. i-ough large cotton man ufacturers, natuorally initerested in lower pirices for the staple, seemed to be most enthusiastic in its behalf. Sev eral (lays later the Charlotte Observ er, commientinlg on the plian said this: "~it is to the spininers interest to buly cotton earlny in the season, when they are likely to get better gradles, but1 owing to d(liulltiesi in financing, they are unable to (d0 so. With a warehou11si' syst em ahlng the , flnes pro p)osed, thieajpinners could buay theIr cotton at a time and In quantities mno't advantageous to them, store the sta ple, and gat motney from the bank on the warehouse receipts." 1'0 we fintd that t he spinnters, wIth wVhomi the produtcers muitst conltend~ In the fight for hotter prices, "'couIld buy theCIr cotton at a tim andl) 11 in quaniiiti tics miost atdvanta~geouts to) them." Thus far, we have -two opposing intler erts to be benefittedl by3 the pllan. In a later lasue1 tile Charlotto Observer' has pointed out to it a still third party, mill finanlciers, as1 will be% seen in the following .paragraph: ",It was pointedi out 4)y a banker yesterday -that one of the objects of tho Duke-City Bank cotton ware house plan was unidoubtediy to force mill owners to abandon the use of sintg!e namei paper. anid substitat'.) for It nloteS secutr'd 'hy warehou4. rei coipts for cotton--paper wichl is eligIble for rediscount undier the~ Fed eral resenve act." Now we have tinree conflictng in terests suiggested as beCine; the beneli fleinries under the great p'~an. The qutestion confronting us is, whoe ha go in" to beynefit, the prodtccer, the .spin nier or the bankcer? * C * * * * * * C C C C C * * * * C * ' * SECRET ORDER NOTES * * C oeeeee W. 0. W.
