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

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.

charming. The groom holds a responsible
