WILSON FAVORs MADOO'S PLAN,
Approves Proposal for Raising Rcve.
nue..

Washington, Oct. 7.-President
Wilson approves Secretary McAdoo's
decision to recommend that congress
retain the present duty on sugar
until normal conditions are restored
and that the war tax measure which
expires automatically December 81,
be extended until the end of the war.
1t was stated tonight that before
Secretary McAdoo made his views
known he discussed the subject with
the president. The president believes
the war has had such an effect on
industrial conditions that these
measures will be necessary to help
build up revenues.
Some political leaders think that
by proposing that the provision of
the last tariff law putting sugar on
the free list May l, 1916, be repealed,
the administration will inevitably
open up the entire tariff question. So
far as can be learned, however, such
q step is not contemplated now by
the administration.

Washington, Oct. 7.-American

is 0S,000,000 bushels below the record
of 1912 but the final production may
more than make up the difference.

BIG WAREHOUSE COMBINE.
M'LAURIN SAYS PLAN is TO HEAD
OFF STATE WAREHOUSE
SYSTEM.
Owners Meet i'm Columbia to Consider
Plans for Company Capitalized at
Million Dollars, Says Report.

Columbia, Oct. 1.-THE formation
of a big warehouse corporation by
merging the Standard Warehouse Co.,
of Columbia, an6 the South At
lantic Warehouse 6 oany, of Aug
usta, Ga. is no S/hs considered.
it became known s fe today The
idea is to have bany with a cap-
ital of 100000 : IA to extend the
warehouse sys' > throughout Georgia
and South CO . a and possibly over
the entire &C belt. If the PROPOSE
ton goes tf a it is said that ware
houses to thousands of bales of
cotton me built at principal points
in the t .ates.
The r .Jsition for the merger came
from the Augusta Company to the
standard Warehouse Company here. a
financial representative of the Augusta
company having come here from New
York with the proposition. 1t is under
stood that at a meeting of those in
terested here today a committee was
named to take up the matter with the
stockholders. The new company. if
formed, will buy up the stock of the
local company, it is said
The proposed warehouse concern
would be gigantic affair, one of the
biggest private corporations in the
South. They propose to negotiate
loans on warehouse receipts for cot
ton stored with them at a low rate of
interest.
State Warehouse Commissioner Jno.
l.. McLaurin thinks this private ware
house concern is forming to combat
the State warehouse. In a statement
issued here tonight he said:
There was meeting in this city
today of owners of Standward ware
houses in this State and Georgia to
form huge combination to head off
the State warehouse system. 1 have
in my possession a copy of the letter
calling this meeting at the instance of
large capitalists. They DO not permit
the farmer to store his cotton where
it was grown, and they call specific at
tention to the danger to their inter-
ests Of the South Carolina State ware
house system. Whether this con-
spiracy Of class whom Roosevelt de-
scribed as "malefactors of great
wealth" will destroy what has been
done depends on the people. I have
no millions to back me, only faith in
God and hope in the people,
7. B. Stackhouse is president of the
Standard Warehouse system, while
Mr.. Barrett is head of the South At
lantic Warehouse Company. The ru-
NOR that if the merger goes through
that Mr.. Barrett would move to Co.
lumbia and head this branch was de-
MED tonight by an official of the
lStandward Warehouse Company, VINO
said that Mr.. Stackhouse on yester-
day was reelected president for anoth-
er year.
Few details of the proposed ware
house merger could be obtained, for
it was stated that the Standard Ware
house had not yet given a definite
answer to the Augusta people.
Senator McLaurin said tonight that
the plan of the State warehouse sys-
tenn had all along been to build a big
concentration warehouse at Charles
ton, where the cotton would be COL
lected for export. The new private
warehouse company if formed may
also build a big warehouse at Char
