the legitimate laws ofsupply and

to the South an, annual cash ga
wing ranging from $3.50, 100000
to $3.50, 100000.
In these terms Daniel j. Sully
who drove cotton to its highest
market price since the Civil War,
outlined the purpose OF his visit
to the South.
Concluding, Mr.. Sully said his
plan contemplates "the creation
of an inpregnable business sys-
TEN, which shall do away with
the annual necessity of the farm
ers sacrificing debt, congesting
the market, hammering dow
prices, upsetting the reign Of sup
ply and demand and losing to
this section the tremendous Gums
that are it's due return for the
one crop indispensable to b Q
needs of civilization.
81 do not ask one'penny from
the Southern people; l do not
ask the pledging OF one bale Of
cotton until l have given ample
good faith of sufficient financial
backing, from sources that are
upques,ionable to carry every
detail Of the plan into effect, and
to safeguard the interest OF ev-
cry farmer in the South.

"The backbone of the plan is q
chain of bonded warehouses
throughout the South, sufficient
in number and capacity to house
one third, as has been demon
strated, will be the balance O
power which will render market
congestion impossible, and in
sure the disposal OF the crop in
strict conformity with the law
Of supply and demand"
In borrowing money on h ia

said, the farmer does notsurren'

out many portions of,he United
State and the reaction, if there
is to be any and, has Dot..yet be-

In the state of Michigan q few
days ago twenty OF the twenty
seven counties voting banished
the sale of liquor, the local op-
tion plan being operative there.
The announcement is made now
that Missouri is soon TO be the
