ADOPT SUMr TO IMPR( COTTON GROWERS AC CEPT THE BELSER SCHEME WITH AMENDNENTS. Fix Twelve Cents as Present Price ? Governors Will Be Asked to Seek Legislation Making Acreage Reduction PIA/I(YAO 17 Lmr W ? ?? i iV/Uf^vo blllUltCdUICUJ' lidH One-Third Crop to Be Held. (Wednesday's State.) Approximately 100 delegates, representing 27 counties in the State, met at the Jefferson hotel last night to formulate definite plans to stay the demoralized condition of the cotton market, to guarantee a better price and to curtail the acreage for 1915. The plan finally adopted was that / prepared by the Sumter delegation and offered by R. B. Belser of that county. Its main provision are That no cotton shall be sold prior to October 1, 1914 ( for less than 12 cents a pound. That a Statewide campaign be started at once to make provision to hold as much as one-third of the crop off the market for one year if necessary, to guarantee the price of 12 cents therefor. That the acreage for the 1915 crop be curtailed at least 50 per cent this estimate to be based on the 1914 crop. Vigorous campaigns are to be prosecuted in every county to secure pledges as to this reduction. Legislation is Sought. To render the agreement effective the president and the executive committee of the congress were empowered to memorialize the governors of the nine cotton growing State to call upon their legislatures to enact laws /o validate this pledge as to reducon. It was argued that voluntary I^reeme^s to cut down the acreage IV) umysU'WUHIJI UdHuj to the mule would be ineffective unless strengthened by the strong arm of the law. This amendment was offered by W. A. Stuckv of T- county. W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw was called upon for an opinion as to the constitutionality of State compulsion in the matter of the proposed decreased planting of 1915. He believed that this act of emergency lay v/ithin the proper police powers of the State, and cited two recent cases in South Carolina to support this view. W. D. Black of Barnwell offered a substitute resolution, which provided that fertilizer companies and banks be compelled to accept cotton as collateral for outstanding notes on a 12 cents price basis, the notes to be extended one year. He urged that the agreement between the farmers and the creditors should be that the cotton should be held one year, if necessary. This plan, he argued, would retire from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 bales, on which the national banking system would issue necessary funds. The cotton manufacturers, he said, would conume the rom:iiniin?' 15 OlWl finn 7,000,000 and would pay a reasonable price therefor. This was finally accepted as an additional resolution, supplementing the Sumter plan. It was also amended to the effect that fertilizer companies should he called upon to agree to sell only one-half the quantity of fertilizer next year as was sold for the last crop. Emergency Currency. Senator E. 1). Smith was present and took a lively nart in the discussion, particularly in that relative to the provision of funds that would enible the farmers to hold their cotton. Emergency currency, under the Aldrich-Vreeland act. is to be placed in the banks on a :5 per cent basis, with an additional increase of one-half per cent each month until the interest rate has reached <> per cent. To enable the farmers to procure a better contract with the banks, Senator Smith offered a resolution, to memorialize congress to reduce the expense of issuing emergency currency. "Resolved: That this meeting nereby memorialize congress to materially reduce the expenses of issuing currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act to the banks, provided, the benefits thereby acruing be accorded to the planters dealing with the banks, to the extent of the reduction so provided." senator tsmith Speaks. Senator Smith favored the idea of compulsory reduction. The condi* tions, now, he argued, were different from what they were ten years ago. when the organization movement began. Then there was a market for the cotton, though the price was low. Now the growers have planted and raised a crop on the basis of the world's annual consumption and there is no market to handle the crop. The greatest problem of all. he said, was how to keep the commercial machinery running, with the potential energy tied up in the cotton crop. It was important, he urged, that the value of the cottpn stored he not destroyed over production next year. The senator favors local storage in open yards, if necessary, surround rER PLAN DVE MARKET I COL. DUNCAN TO BUILD COTTON WAREHOUSE Col. T. C. Duncan has put through plans and the material is already arriving for the erection of a cotton warehouse. The building will be com- jr pleted within three weeks from this date. The building is to be DO x loO j0 feet, and will be located on the lot ( just this side of 'he Smith Lumber ^ company on Pinckney street. There I is a spur track just in the rear of the building and will be so arranged that ^ cotton, cotton seed and other farm products may be housed for shipper and for receiver. The warehouse is to be standard construction and arrangements have ^ been made to double the size of the building if so much space should be needed. Mr. Duncan is carrying through this proposition upon his own volition, and cotton stored in this warehouse may be held at a reasonable cost and for anv lencrth of fimo TVm warehouse will be used for any other commodity such as fertilizer, corn, hay or any other commodity. A broker can, when his judgment dictates, order out a shipment, say, of flour, and with the warehouse receipt would he able to get money to help him car- q ry it until he could dispose of the shipment. Sullivan-Parker. Mr. O. A. Sullivan and Miss Una B. eI Parker sprung a great surprise on their many friends when it was an- ^ nounced they had been quietly married at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Parke,r on Ravenscroft avenue, Tuesday night August 25. The bride was beautifully attired in a flowing gown of tulle and lace, and never looked more charming. The groom holds a responsible position with the UnionBuffalo mill company. Both are very popular in Union and command the ~l respect of all who know them.
