Cheap Money.
A compelling feature of the Duke
plan Is that 1t is not in the interest of
any individual or class; it is broad
wide-open proposition that will give
the farmer, merchant and manufactur-
er of the south the cheapest money in
the world. While it is being launch
ed by the cotton manufacturers as the
outcome of their own pressing needs,
they were quick to appreciate the
breadth and scope of the proposition,
its far reaching possibilities. for the
general development of the whole
south, and are more than contented to
OF the money markets of the world
receive as their part the cheap rates
that this cotton warehouse company
bring to their doors.
OF Paramount Concern.
The news of the fact that MIR. Duke
is again interested In his cotton ware
housing plan will be OF commanding
interest throughout the south. It will
be recalled that he manifested sim

borne in mind at this time however,
that the initiative comes from the
manufacturers and not primarily from
the great tobacco mRgnafe. The
manufacturers, aware OF the peculiar,
needs OF the situation adm keenIy ap-
preciatiye of the value and accruing
benefits OF, such n scheme srs urging
It's adoption and Mr.. Duke has signi-
fed a Willingness to cooperate with
them. The fact should also be borne
in mind that while the manufacturers
are taking the initiative, they are not
operating for their sole benefit but for
benefit OF the country at large, well
country will help them. Hence their
ki;pwiug that anything that helps the
