Columbia. March 18.?J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, chairman of the cen
tral'committee of the South Carolina
w|:Cotton Association, has addressed a
letter to the governors of all of the
" eofton growing States asking that
meetings be called in each State for
the purpose of electing delegates to
fhe big meeting to be held in New
/ Orleans on-May 14. The meeting at
New Orleans will be for the purpose
of forming and putting into execu
tion definite plans for banking and
[^financing cotton, either in the form
of cotton reserve bank, similar to
the one proposed by Chairman Wan
r.anaaker of this State, or some sim
Hyilar form of banking.
Mr. Wannamaker in his letter to
the governors asks that" at the State
meetings twenty delegates be elected
to the Southern meeting at New Or
leans, including the governor, lieu
tenant governor, president of the
State bankers' association, commis
sioner of agriculture, president of
farmers* union, managers of State
?warehouse systems and speakers of
the house of> representatives..
? In his letter Mr. "Wannamaker
states, that a system of cotton re
serve banks if established would "re
sult in revolutionizing the financing
and banking of cotton and in forming
plans so that the cotton States can
each season jointly, name a minimum
price for cotton?namely 33 1-3 per
cent above the cost of production,
and arrange for the marketing and
^porting of cotton and the ware
housing of same.
?The.letter addressed to the gover
nor of each cotton State follows:
Hfc"TQ the Governor:
' South Carolina is organized as nev
er before. She will reduce her cotton
"acreage"fully 33 1-3 per cen. She will
t?ke1 this action regardless of the
price and regardless of the action iii
other'States. . At the same time, with
" th^^information before - us, we -are
- eoovmced that reduction will extend
from Hexico- to old Virginia. Reduc
Hp'ti?h in commercial fertilizer will
have a marked effect and bearing on
the reduction of cotton throughout
"the State of South Carolina and will
be. sensational.
Oh April 3rd we hold a mammoth
meeting at the State capital, Colum
bia. South Carolina. This meeting is
called for the purpose of receiving
final reports on the work throughout
?the" State and mainly for the pur
pose of discussing and forming plans
'for the banking, financing, marketing,
exporting* :and 'warehousing of cot
ton and setting a minimum price for
same. The minimum price set to be
33* 1-3 per cent, above the cost of
production.
At this meeting we will elect twen
ty delegates, including the governor,
lieutenant governor, president of
?State Bankers' Association, Commis
sioner of Agriculture, presidents of
Farmers' Unions, managers of State
Warehouse System, and speaker of
the. House of Representatives?these
delegates being elected for the pur
pose of perfecting and forming
Flans for the purpose named above;
and they are to meet with a like
number of delegates from other States
?ef the cotton belt, at New Orleans on
May 14, 1919, and cooperate with
these delegates in forming and put
ting into execution definite plans for
banking and financing cotton either in
the form of cotton reserve banks sim
ilar to ore recommended to our leg
islature by chairman of our associa
tion, or similar form of banking. It
will result in revolutionibing financing
and banking of cotton and in forming
plans so that the cotton States can
each season jointly name a minimum
price for cotton?namely, 33 1-3 per
cent above the cost of production?
and arrange for the marketing and
exporting of cotton and the ware
housing of same. This matter has
been given careful consideration by
some of the best posted bankers and
business men throughout the belt, \
and it is unanimously agreed that it
is of absolute necessity that the cot
ton States take the steps as follows:
First: Forming a banking system
which will meet the needs for financ
tag cotton so as to do away with
' entirely depressed cotton and avoid j
the return of conditions which have
existed in the South for the last sixty
years.
Second: Stabilizing cotton by
naming minimum price for same.
Third: Providing for the export-;
ing and marketing of cotton and the
warehousing of same.
The most important of all of course!
is the banking system. The others
follow.
TJnder the system proposed, re
ferred to above as the Cotton Reserve
Banks, we believe it is now the most
opportune time to organize three such i
banks in the belt. It will result in
removing from the market a tre
mendous amount of middling cotton.
People would gladly invest Liberty
Loan Bonds and after consulting in-j
fluential friends in the North and!
South, we are convinced that a meet
ing called for the purpose above.!
aside from the tremendous ad van- j
tages gained as a result of forming:
and carrying into effect the plans sug- j
gested, will have a marvelous stimu
lating effect on spot cotton now in
the :South.
We urge that you call a public
meeting in your State jointly of. the

Cotton Men Called
Meeting Will Be Held in Mem
phis Soon.
Eaton Rouge, La. March 17?Gov
ernor Pleasant issued a call today for
a general meeting of cotton growing
interests of the *South to .be held at
Memphis, March 24. for the purpose
of developing further plans for cotton
acreage reduction. The governors of
cotton growing States as well as dele
gates appointed to the cotton acreage
reduction meeting in New Orleans Feb
ruary 17-78. were urged to attend the
Memphis meeting. Reports on the
success of the reduction movement?
will be made. *
The German Warships
._
Huns Will Be Required to Sur
render Title to Ships
Paris, March IS.?The disposition
of the German warships is not l;kely
to be included in the peace treaty,
according to the view of the Ameri
can pea^e delegation. Germany,
however, will : be required to sur
render title to the ships. The ulti
mate ownership will be determined
later.
Paris, March 18.?The fortifications
i on Helgoland, Germany's formidable
base in the North Sea. must be dis
mantled. This decision was reached
today by the supreme council. It was
decided, also that the Kiel canal must
be internationalized.
ant business leaders for the purpose
of receiving reports' on the work
clone in your State on cotton acreage
reduction and for discussing plans
along lines indicated above?electing
twenty delegates to represent your
State in the New Orleans convention
for the purpose of arranging, dis
cussing and taking the necessary
steps to put into execution specific
plans which will operate throughout
the belt along the lines indicated.
Will you at once take this matter up?
It is of vital importance to the entire
South. After the public meeting at
which these delegates are elected,
it is of course necessary that they
meet to give careful consideration to
these various promos:tiors devising
, plans for putting same into operation.
At New Orleans, of course, the best
and'most feasible plans for the va
rious States will be adopted. We are
satisfied that the result of this work
.vill be far reaching. It will not only
mean the savings of millions to the
South, it will mean the commercial
freedom of the South; it will mean
good roads and improved educational
facilities. In fact, it will mean that
:he lives of the entire citizenship of
j the South?not ohly for this year, but
j for endless years to come?will ro
j ceivo the benefits as a result of this
j work. The South is determined to no
j longer tolerate conditions which have
existed in the handling of cotton for!
the last sixty years. We feel sure |
that you will join us in snapping these j
bonds of commercial slavery.
The South Carolina Cotton Asso- j
ciation has headquarters operated by j
a large force and the Central Com-]
mittoe of eight members in Colum
bia. The headquarters is being kept j
constantly open. We have 1,500 ac-j
tlve workers in the State. Every'
farmer in South Carolina will be ap
proached for the purpose of signing j
l reduction pledges. A complete list
wil be made by the committees In
each county showing the names of
the farmers who sign and those who i
fail to sign. This list will be pub-j
lish.ed. A permanent, standing com-j
mittoe of not less than four members!
in each school district in the entire!
State known as the Folow-up Com -!
mittee, will keep in close touch with j
the enforcment of pledges. Any vlo- j
lation of pledges will be immediate-j
ly reported to headquarters and pub-j
lished in the county papers.
The South Carolina. Association has'
been supported by the farmers con- .
trib?ting 10c per acre, and by the
business men making voluntary con
tributions. This association has ac-1
complished so much work that it j
has been practically decided to make;i
it a permanent organization under M
the guidance of the State, it being M
their entire function of handle the!'
cotton situation along the lines theyjl
have been working. In all probabili- : 1
ties the other States of the belt will j 1
follow the same course. j <
Will you please give this matter j <
careful consideration and let us have It
the names of the delegates with as i'
little delav as possible, and oblige <
very much. > i

FOR COTTON
Mr. Harding Urges Corporation
Capitalized at ?50,000,000
To Market Crop
MIGHT USE LIBERTY
BONDS AS CAPITAL
i -.
Could Be Financed to Some Ex
tent by the War Finance Gor
I poration
Washington, March 17.?Organiza
tion of a cooperative cotton export
corporation with capitalization of
perhaps $50,000,000 *was advocated
today by Governor VY. P. G. Hardin.ir.
of the Federal Reserve Board; in a
letter to a ?Southern newspaper edi
tor.
] This corporation, organized under
the Webb act, solely for foreign trade
transactions, could be financed to
some extent by the war finance cor
poration under the recent act author
izing $1,000.000,000 to exporters,
Governor Harding suggested.
i In payment for the stock. Southern
cotton, producers and business men
participating in the. corporation might
use liberty bonds, which they hold,
thus eliminating the necessity of ty
ing up large quantities of cash.
Mr. Harding suggested that a con
gress of cotton producers, and other
[ business men be held at once to dis
I cuss the project. He explained that
j by using liberty bonds these would
I be held by the corporation as pcrma
j nent investments and would not bo
placed on the market. This would
remove any objection by government
agencies to exchange of the corpora
tion's stock for liberty bonds.
"Every large manufacturing and
mining concern has a well organized
sales department." said the governoi
in his letter. "'It would be suicida
for any* large manufacturer to devote
his activities to productions alone
Many millions of people are engaged
in the production of cotton, but oi
all our great industries it is the on!>
one, I believe, which has no organize'.'
sales department. A farmer or 2
merchant who has cotton in the hope
Of obtaining a higher price and h/
has cotton for sale must either tak*
the price offered hirn or he .must hole
jhis cotton in the hope of obtaining s
I higher price, and he has no assuranc?
! that he will get a higher price b>
j holding. The cotton spinners have
their own organizations: those wh?
have cotton for sale have none.
"The present situation is totals
different from tha^ which existed ai
the close of the civil war. Then th<
South was devastated, its labor wa;
demobilized, and the great 'probten
was one of production. Actual cottoi
commanded a high price for several
years after the war; the rest of th<
world was prosperous, there hat"
been no impairment in its purchasing
power; but today the credit of most
European nations ^is necessarily re
stricted; even England cannot aifoj
to let go of her cash with a lavish
hand in payment, of goods imported:
! she has to watch her exchange rate
jwith a jealous eye. France, Belgium
j and Italy need goods and raw ma
jterial. but they also need a reason
able period of time to pay for them,
i "The large manufacturing' concerns
throughout the country are preparing
!to take advantage of the act which
(became a law on April IS, 191S, co:n
fanonly known as th* Webb Act. which
permits combinations for the promo
tion of foreign trade. Under the act
of March 3, 1919, which'provides for
the additional bond issues by the gov
ernment, the war finance corporation
is empowered to make loans to the
extent of one billion dollars to aid
export transactions during a period
of one year from the date of an offi
cial proclamation of peace, and it is
fallowed live years in which to liqui
date these loans.
j "For the war finance corporation
I to consider applications from ten to
[twenty thousand individuals and
farmers for assistance in export
transactions would be a difficult if
not impossible proposition owing to
the vast amount of time which would
be involved in the consideration of
each application.
"A broad and dependable market
for cotton is of vital importance, not
only to the farmer, the producer of
the staple, but to every merchant,
banker, business and professional
man throughout the cotton belt.
'"In almost every hamlet in every
United States bonds. 1 believe that
United tSates bonds. I believe that
if the movement is properly directed
it will be possible to form a large ex
port corporation the stock of which
will be owned by those directly in
terested in the production and mark
eting of cotton. Tbc capital stock
of such a corporation might be in
vested in liberty bonds, which would
obviate the necessity of procuring
cash subscriptions and would at the
same time insure certain dividends
to the stockholders. The corporation
might be capitalized at $50.000,000.
or whatever amount might be found
accessary to handle the business. The
jorpcration could send exports abroad .
to negotiate sales of cotton, to ar
range the terms, and to procure the
necessary guarantees of foreign
>anks. With tho*e contracts in hand
Dn proper security, the corporation
nould apply to the4 war finance cor
poration for aid. It should have the
>ower to purchase cotton outright or
o sell it on a commission basis for *
he owners. If general interest could i

proportion of the slock could be al- J?>
otted to each county in the cotton j 1

j Secretary Glass Approves Plan
! to Convert Soldiers' Insur
ance into Standard
i
Policies.
I GOVERNMENT TO CONDUCT \
I BIG INSURANCE BUSINESS]
New Form of Policies Will be
Ready for Issuance at Early
Dato.
j Washington, March IS.?Secretary
Glass today 'approved regulations]
.governing conversion of soldiers' and
[sailors' war time insurance to stand
' ;\ud forms of government life, insur
i a lice. The policies will he ready for
1 issuance soon and the work or" issu
I ing and maintaining the policies is
expected to make the war risk bureau
[the largest life insurance agency in
ihc world.
A treasury announcement explained
thai the forms of policies which may
{be obtained at option in exchange for
i term insurance or war time are: Or
dinary life. 20 payment life, 30 pay
ment life, 20 year endowment, 30 year
endowment and endowment payable
at the age of 0 2.
"The premium rates for these con
verted policies are lower than those
charged by private insurance com
panies," said the announcement. A
previous announcement said the
rates would be 30 per cent, lower.
'?The policies contain exceedingly
liberal privileges." continued the an
nouncement, "providing for cash and
loan values, paid up and extended in
surance, and further providing that
the insured will be paid for life a
monthly income in the event that lie
becomes totally and permanently dis
abled. All of these policies are in
contestable from the date of,issue and
are free from restriction as to resi
dence, travel or occupation. The hold
ers of the policies will be eligible to
share in and receive dividends from
gains and savings and the proceeds of
the policies are exempt from all tax
ation.
''Premiums for the' new forms of
government life insurance' are pay
able monthly, but may bo paid an
nually, semi-annualy or quarterly.
The monthly premiums, due the lirst
of each month, may be paid at any
time during the month."
Secretary Class expressed the opin
ion that the "unusual values and lib
eral provisions" of the new forms
("should encourage all holders of war
j rime term insurance to convert as
j rapidly as their financial circum
jstances will permit, and in any event
to continue without fail the largest
possible proportion .of their present
insurance."
1 j An opinion by Attorney General
r\ Palmer that insurance might .be paid
1 j to the estates of deceased persons to
il dry removed the last obstacle to is
trsuance of the new policies.

turning a saw to the home of his
neighbor, Lust. When he reached the;

who if was. Young Lollace did not j

j '"he front of the house was dark, th^ J
family of Lust being in the rear, ana
when young Lollace entered Mr. Lust
railed for his gun and opened lire
thinking that it was a- robber. The
fact that, there had been some rob
beries and a barn burned in the com-;
munity within the past few weeks un
nerved Mr. Lust. His first shot took
effect in the In-east of young Lollace
from which wound he died in a.

has been diverted from Newport News
to Charleston and is expected to ar

Tli ere is general joy here over the
fact that the former Charleston Na

of the One Hundred and Fifth Am

transport of troops to land at the
port terminals. Whether the ship
enter this harbor on March 23 or
March 27 is not so material. The big
fact is that the local boys are not
only on the!" way home, as was an
nounced in Sunday's dispatches, but
are on their way to Charleston direct.
There will" be a notable harbor
J demonstration when the transport
j comes in through general display of
Macs and blowing of whistles-ajld""'
j ringing of bells. A greeting will be'
'given tlte boys from an official boat
las they enter the harbor and the wa
' terfront will undoubtedly be lined
wirb thousands to wave them a wel
come. But few will be allowed at the
pier where they land, and they will
at once entrain for Camp Jackson,
wlKrf- they will go through the san
it?r ion plant. It is expected about
three boars will be necessary for
transfer from ship to special trains.
Forty-four coaches and baggage
cars will be_ in the equipment of four'
trains to take the soldiers to Camp
