Fire'lit Stake's Storage House.
What gave promise or quite a big
fire at Stokes' Cotton Storage House
near the depot Wednesday night was
soon taken in hand by the Loulsbuig
Fire department and putunder control
and extinguished with an estimated
damage to cotton of about $325.00, to
building of about $25.00 and to a lot
of fertilizer $50.00, making a total
damage of about $400.00. The cotton
and building were fully insured.
The fire which was discovered a1>out
8 o'clock, is supposed to have resulted
from cigarettes. The building being:
of brick construction and the quick
action of the Are department is what
saved quite a big fire and heavy loss.

Whereas, the n.-eds pt the world
today call for more cotton than was
produced lasi year and now unused,
and
Whereas, the war-stricken countries
of Europe are today suffering as much
for want of clothing as for want of
food, and ''
Whereas, the present low prtce of
cotton, which Is below the oost ol
production. Is due primarily to eco
nomlc restrictions on Its shipment tc
the countries moat In need of it, and
Whereas, the present prioe of fer
tilizer ha* been arbitrarily raised from
$6.00 to $10.00 per ton above the high
war prices of last year, and
Whereas, the present price of manu
factured cotton to the consumer le
abnormally high compared to th?
present low price of raw cotton,
therefore,
Resolved first: That the power ofl
the Government of the United State?
should at once be exerted to remove I
the embargo and all other economic
restrictions on the free shipment oi
raw cotton and all other farm pro

and
Resolved, second: That our gov

of fertilizers at a figure not to exceed
the high war prices of last year, and
Resolved, third: That as a tempo

formed to arrange with the cotton
growers of the state-to agree to reduce
cotton acreage In accordance with th?
cut adopted by the Raleigh Cotton As

to hold their present crop of cotton
^jrotll the embargo and other economic
restrictions are removed, said com
mlttee shall arrange with all banks at
far as possible to loan money on easy
terms to all cotton growers who will
pledge themselves to thus reduce oot
ton acreage, and
Resolved fllfth: That in order thai
all cotton growers and other producers
may be able to use their own re
sources to enable them to bold their
cotton, we appeal to the Congress el
the United States to amend the Fed
eral Farm Loan Banking Law, so a<
to make It easier and less expensive
to form Farm Loan Associations and
the rate of Interest on money loaned
through such banks, reduced to th?
rate on Liberty Bonds, and further
ttat we appeal to the Legislature ol

PRICE-EVERETTE
WAREHOUSE BILL
j Maks? Warehoused Cotton Receipts
Ql(t Edge Security.?Provides Re
The Warehouse Bill just enacted
is one of the moet Constructive pieces
of legislation passed at the present
session. The bill as paused is essen
tially the same as that introduced
early in the session by Senator W. B.
Cooper, except that It taxes all cotton
ginned for the next two years twenty
flve cents per bale to provide a guar
antee and revolving building fund.
Under the terms of the Act the Board
of Agriculture can loan 50% of the
needed money for constructing ware
houses where there are no facilities.
Among the benefits expected from
the bill are the following:
1st. It wil[ Immediately Improve
storage facilities for North Carolina
ootton and thereby insure more gradu
ated marketing of the staple?a re
form for which the present crisis
shows the Imperative need. This will
benefit every man who grows cotton
no 'matter whether he stores a pound
or not. As providing the facilities for
othrs who do store, will cause the
market to be steadied and advanced
for every man who sells without stor
d. The receipts of every
bouse will be good at any bank any
where and enable us to borrow
wherever money is cheapest.
j The bfll makes provision for the su
perintendent to borrow for others in
New York or elsewhere.
ird. It is believed that it will
greatly reduce the cost of storage
through a reduction in Insurance
charges and rates. The insurance
raje on cotton stored in State Ware
houses in South Carolina is only about
<me-thlrd the present rate in this
state
4th. All cotton stored In the waj4?
bouses is to be graded and stapled by
State or Federal expert? and the su
perintendent is authorised to act as
broker for those having cotton stored
when so re<iue*ted. It is expected
that a record of the grade and staple
afj every bale stored will be kept at a
cejntral office and that mills and large
exporters will endeavor to locate cot
ton that they desire and make pur?
chases through the superintendent.
Taken all together there appears to
be great possibilities for the benefit of
ootton growers in the bill and the
Ootton Association at Raleigh hopes
to see them made available at an
early date.
WILL THE SOUTH
i REDUCE ACREAGE?
(By Theo. H. Price. Editor, Commerce
and Finance, a Prominent Financial
Magazine.
"Is the South bluffing again or will
It really reduce its acreage as threat
ened this time?" is in effect the ques
tion that not a few cotton manufac
turers have been asking us during the
poot mmak
?K-to reaUirrl of rnurae. that If the
next crop is not over nine million
bales and the European demand in
*1$?0 revises to anything like pre-war
proportions that cotjon would rise to
a price that wo&ld compel the clos
lng of many mills, but in contemplat
ing sucIP^ possibility- one ran never.
forget the difficulties that have al
ways been encountered io getting eo?
operation among the six or seven mil
lion people who grow cotton in the
South.
Mr. J. !?. Carpenter, of Natchez.
Miss., who is widely known and re
spected in tho cotton trade, writes us
under date of February 23 as follows:

reduction but put yonr ear to the
ground." These are the views of a
man who is In a much better "posi
tion to form a sound opinion than we
are. For ourselves we should say
i that the success of the reduction
movement will probably be in direct
proportion to the skepticism with
which It is regarded.

If, on the other hand, no one be-'

be a case in which an advance now,
