The Summerville News. VOL. XXII NO. 5 SULLY REVIVES WAREHOUSE PLAN Atlanta, Ga.—Daniel J. Sully, the famous cotton bull who once bos! cd the price to seventeen cents, the highest since the war, in an interview announced a new warehouse plan which he says wil be backed by $10,000,000 and will save the farmers of the south and incidentally allied business interests, ‘5150,000,000 to $200,- 000,000. Mr. Sully’s plan is not a new one, as he frankly admits. It is lite bonded warehouse plan adopt ed by various farmers’ organiza tions, but never carried out, he says, because of lack of big enough financial resources. He says that $10,000,000 of cap ital is ready and waiting to back the enterprise, and that southern interests are not expected to con tribute a cent until they are shown conclusively that the ware houses have the soundest of fi nancial backing. The plan is to issue certificates for cotton, upon which the far mer is at liberty to make loans, depositing his cotton in the ware house as security, and holding it or selling at a good price as he chooses. Mr. Sully says: “The backbone of the plan is a chain of bonded warehouse throughout the south sufficient in number and capacity to house one third of the crop, and that one third. as has been demonstrated, will render market congestion im possible and insure the disposal of the crop in strict conformity with the laws of supply and de mand. “No farmer will sacrifice or surrender the title to his cotton under this plan. “Say that he produces one bale of cottton. Under present condi tions the vast majority of south ern planters have already heavi ly mortgaged that bale to se cure the funds for its production. “His creditors press upon him for settlement. In only excep tional instances is he liable to with stand the pressure. As an over whelming rule, he is forced to sell his cotton the moment it leaves the ginnery. “The same situation prevail ing in every southern state, it follows that the bulk of the crop, instead of following natural business laws and being market ed over the legitimate period of barter and sale and consumption, is dumped upon the market in big lots. “The inevitable result is that the market price sags conges tion ensues and the man who cannot afford to hold off his cred itors sells his cotton at a loss. “Now go back to the individ ual farmer we were using for purposes of illustration. He de posits his bale in a warehouse that is bonded and absolutely as responsible to the commercial world as is a surety company or an insurance corporation. “He accepts for this bale a certificate, certifying to his own ership of the cotton. “The backing of a reserve of millions of dollars, and of all the stockholders, is back of that cer tificate. “It will be as fully protected as United States currency. “It represents the highest pos sible class of collaterals for loans. “With the security thus out lined supporting it, he will have no trouble whatever in borrowing enough from his banker to meet his pressing indebtedness, hold ing his cotton in the ware houses until such time as it can be marketed at a price commen surate with its ulmimate value to the business world.’’ DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the best known pills and the best pills made, are easy to take and act gently and are certain. We sell and recommend them. Summerville Drug Co. MENLO There is ample time for planting Irish potatoes for early crop and we farmers can’t afford to neg lect making this provision for food for the family. There is nothing that can be more quick ly or cheaply grown and with a good crop of potatoes, garden vegetables, poultry, eggs, butter, milk the farmers will have the necessaries of life without pay ing out much money for table supplies. No matter how busy the farmer may feel himself it will pay him to take the time nec essary to prepare for these crops. He will have ample time left to raise more cotton than is best for him. C. 11.
