W. F. Caldwell in News and Courier.
Columbia, Dec. 15.-Called for the
purpose O. hearing Mr.. Harvie Jordan,
gresident of tie oSuthern Cotton as
sociation, outline the plans for the
formation of the Cooperative Cotton
company, the president of the county
rganizations assembled here this af-
ternoon in response to the call OF
President Wade Stackhouse Of the
State branch. Mr.. Jordan detailed tne
scheme for forming holding company
with an authorized capital of 100000
and minimum of $1,000,OOO to take
care of the surplus crop and give
stability to tie remaining cotton.
The subscribers to the company are
to put up spot cotton for their stock,
basis middling, at 10 cents per pound.

To Pledge Reduction.

In the South there are $50 cotton
producing counties each yielding an
average production of $4,000 bales. Out
of these only Z per cent of the average
production of each county would, IN
the aggregate, furnish 100000 to the
capital stock of the company. Each
farmer, who subscribed cotton to the
company, would be requested to sign
a written pledge to the Southern Cot
ton association agreeing to reduce his
cotton acreage for 1915 at least so per
cent less t.an the area planted in 1914.
This, it is claimed would practically
guarantee the proper equilibrium be-
tween supplies and consumption for
next year and stabilize vrices to fair
and reasonable values, as well as Sc
cure for the company minimum price
O: 10 cents per pound for the cotton
subscribed as its foundation capital.
The plan contemplates the immediate
retirement of 100000 of The present
surplus of cotton from the market.
These and other matters in connec-
tion with the proposed company were
outlined to the conference by Mr.. Jor-
dan, who, with tie other officials of
the Southern Cotton association, are
undertaking the work of getting the
preliminary s1,oO0,OOO subscribed for
the company to organize. DR.. Wade
Stackhouse of Dillon is representing
the company and taking subscriptions
in South Carolina.
Mr.. Jordan was accompanied here
today by Mr.. B. A. Forbes of the Han
over National bank of New York city
Nr. Forbes was present as listener
and to see what is going to be done.
Outlined to Growers.
It was decided to begin the first step
in organizing the Cooperative Com
pany in South Carolina, and the plans
were laid before the leading cotton
growers o. the State at the conference
in the ball room Of the Jefferson hotel
this afternoon Leading cotton pro-
ducers from all prast of the State were
here and participated in the conference
It was felt, as pointed out by one that
if South Carolina approved of this plan
and subscribed her part to the capital
stock the rest of the South would fall
into line. South Carolina is looked on
in New York and the North as leader

Tie first business of the company
when organized, will be to issue nego-
table warehouse receipts against the
cotton OF its stockholders being held
in storage and secure loans on same a.
reasonable rates of interest, thereby
enabling holders to secure funds with
cut being forced to sacrifice their cot
ton on depressed market.
When the abnormal conditions are
relieved the future purposes of the
eompanp will be to stabilize cotton
values at fair and reasonable prices to
the growers; perfect an economic sys-
tenn of warehousing and financing fu-
ture crops of cotton; preventing VIC

improving present waste:ul methods of
baling, handling and marketing cot

 HELP SINCLAIR
Say Arc Fighting for Principle Not Against Individuais-Won't Picket
 Standard Oil Offices.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The members of the executive committee of the Socialist party today refused the re- quest made by Upton Sinclair that the Socialists picket all the offices of the Standard Oil company as a protest against the treatment of the coal miners in the Colorado strike zone and as a protest against the action of the militia in killing de- fenseless women and children.
 In rejecting the request the con- mittee made the public statement that the Socialist party was fighting for principle and not fighting individuals. That they wanted conditions reliev- ed not only in the strike district of Colorado, but in every town and city in the United States and as far as possible throughout the world.
 MT. Rockefell 1T says the statement is no more to blame than thousands of others, and should he be deposed another magnate as unconsiderate of the workmen and the right of labor would surely take his place, and that the only sure relief was by the spread of the principles of Socialism and the ownership by the people of all public utilities, mines and the collective ownership of the main instruments of wealth production.
