am in receipt of several letters ask
ing my opinion as to the plan Of J. B.
Duke to furnish warehouses for the
cotton crop.
So far as the plan is concerned 1t
contains all the essential features Of
the state warehouse bill. 1t provides
for inspection, grading, weighing and
a certificate guaranteeing the title,
weights and grades. No warehouses
system can be effective which does
not do this, and any system which does
will be effective.
The difference between the plans
however, is fundamental; one seeks
to provide the system for the bene-
fit Of the producers Of cotton, the 9TH
er for the benefit of the capitalists who
furnish the money. In both 1t Is the
trust principle Of cooperation In one
case for the enrichment Of the few, in
the other for the betterment Of the
many. / have confidently expected
ever since the agitation for state ware
housing began that the attention Of
some large capitalists would be at
tracted TO the opportunity which the
cotton crop of the south offered. Here
is a nature made monopoly; all that
is needed is to get control through
financing it. The new currency law
provides just the machinery for this.
Under sections 13 and IA provision Is
made for the acceptance Of bills Of ex-
change drawn for agricultural pro-
ducts. Where these acceptances are
based ION actually existing values,
there is no limit to the amount. All
that Mr.. Duke has to do is to get his
warehouse and then he can carry all
the cotton in the south through these
acceptances. They would be sold In
the open money market, and form a
class Of paper eagerly sought in all cot
ton using sections Of the world. Man
chester alone would use enough Of
this paper to float at least one-third Of
the entire crop.
NV idea was to have the sovereignty
of the state behind this paper. Mr..
Duke proposes to have corporation
of such enormous strength behind 1t
that it's name will carry the paper
wherever cotton is known. Either plan
is feasible If ably and honestly admin
istered. Either plan will fail If weak
ly and dishonesty administered. I
said last winter in the senate that II
the state did not take advantage Of this
opportunity private capital would. I
said further that IF the state would

A Mr.. Mckee in the upper section OF
Pickens county, and another aged vet

recall are the other two survivors. He
stated that he didn't covet the urn as

that there are fully 12 more years to

CONTROL OF THE COTTON CROP
Il Can be Secured Either Through the
Mclaurin or Duke Plan.

Senator John L. McLaurin has sent
to the Columbia State an article in
which he makes still clearer the point
made by The Enquirer that the
principal difference between the Duke
warehouse plan and the McLaurin
warehouse plan is that in the one case
the profits will go to the men who put
w the capital and in the other case
they will be distributed among the
people who produce the cotton. Mr..
McLaurin's article follows:

CHILDREN'S DAY FITTINGLY
OBSERVED IN DIXIELAND

Lakeland, like Brooklyn, N. Y,
is becoming noted as the city of
churches, inasmuch as almost all
modern denominations are represent
ed here in the way of established
houses of worship, and among the
most noted is the Methodist, which
denomination has three we'll estab-
lished places of worship under the
direction of the Southern Methodist
church.
The Dixieland Methodist church
last night was the scene of most
attractive entertainment in the
shape of Childrens Day exercises.
The services began promptly at 1880
and closed about S:45. Each and ev-
eryone taking part did their portion
SO we'll that the large crowd present
seemed highly pleased. The house
was filled to overflowing, many hav-
ing to remain outside and get a
glimpse of the entertainers through
the windows.
This little chapel was built about
two years ago when it was then
thought that church in that vicin-
ity was a great undertaking, but the
membership has grown so fast that
at the present time the building is
entirely inadequate for the attend
ance, and steps should be taken at
once to have a much better and larg-
er place of worship. Dixieland is one
of Lakeland's best suburbs and is
growing rapidly which demonstrates
the fact that a better church build
ing is needed.
Those who directed the pupils In
these exercises are deserving of
praise for their great work, as the
children performed their parts we'll
and no one came away except with
words of praise for the excellent en-
tertainment.

How Senator Fletcher Is

glad to have this opportunity of eX-

Cordially and sincerely yours,
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
Few members of Congress have

and has been found standing square

Shortly after his inauguration,
President Wilson selected Senator
Fletcher to head the rural credits
commission that went to Europe to
study farm credit systems in the
countries over there.
The president accepted the report

OF the Fletcher commission practic-
ally as it was written by the Flor
ida senator, and today this report is
being followed by the currency com
mittee of Congress in shaping the
administration rural credits legisla-
tion which will be considered with
in the next month,
Author of Bill
Senator Fletcher is author of the
administration rural credits bill,
and as such has been recently ap-
pointed to membership on the cur
rency committee of the Senate to
help guide that committee in the
perfection of the legislation.
While the Democratic leaders in
Washington do not profess to know
anything of the local issues in the
Florida campaign, they think the
question of rural credits and the en-
dorsement of the Wilson administra-
tion should be paramount They feel
therefore that the return of Senator
Fletcher by the people of Florida
will have a strengthening influence
not only on the rural credits legis-
lation yet to be enacted but on the
entire program of the president.
The reports that have reached
Washington in regard to the senator
ial campaign have been gratifying to
friends of the administration and of
Senator Fletcher. 1t is the belief
here that the senator will be re-
nominated by a substantial major
ity.
