was resumed here today. Chairman

taken in his recent statement that the

in 1910, the industry developed so
rapidly that in 1900 beets furnished
90 per cent. In 1900 the percentage had
dropped to 50h per cent. said to have
been as result of an agreement of

THE BILL OF LADlNG PROBLEM

1t would seem that the bill of lad
ing problem should be settled salts
factorily, and would be but for the
persistent demands of the manipu-
lators of cotton in England and il
New York. The fact is that whatever
be the scheme proposed in England
or in New York it is certain to ope-
rate against the cotton growers OF
the South if conceded.
The South has been too long the
burden-carrier, and the time has
come when the South must take a
decisive stand in opposing all I'M
reasonable requirements covering
the sale and the shipment Of cotton
The controversy over the bill OF
iading problem was made plain re-
Gently by the action of the exchanges
and the boards of trade of the South
The bill of lading which is given
by the railroads or the ship to which
the cotton has been delivered to be
conveyed to its destination, is sufTl-
Gent guarantee against frauds or the
speculations of frauds who have
filched money from people in Eng
land or New York.
While there are sharks and swim
dlers in the South, the unreasonabl .
demands of Liverpool or Of New
York should be given little of serious
attention.
1t is about time that Liverpool and
New York should realize that they
can no longer work their bluffs on
the South and on the men who grow
the cotton which is needed to keep
the cotton mills in profitable ac-
tivity.
