GOOD USE FOR CAMP SEWER
Farmers May Use Large Warehouses
for Storage Of Cotton.

The large warehouses at Camp Sc
vier are likely to be taken over for
storage of cotton as the result of the
meeting of the Greenville County Cot
ton association which has been called
for Monday, December 1st in the coun-
tv courthouse, says the Greenville
Piedmont. The meeting was called by
J. d. Harris, president of the assocla-
ton and efforts are being made to have
in attendance leading farmers from all
sections Of the county.
A preliminary meeting was held in
the office of Capt. ]. ]. McSwain sew
eral days ago and after discussion on
the part of those present it was decided
to call a meeting to which all of the
! farmers and business men, particularly
the farmer, are invited. Accordingly,
Mr.. Harris has issued a call for a
meeting to be held in the county court
house at II o'clock on the morning of
December 1st.
Mr.. Harris stated Friday morning
that one of the main issues likely 20 be
before the association at the approach
ing meeting was that of securing the
ouartermaster warehouses at Camp
Sewer for the storage Of cotton. AL
though it is late in the season to keep
much Of the present crop off the
market, it is pointed out that II the
warehouses are taken over by the as
sociation it will assist in keeping the
price of the staple up in the years to
come. This has been demonstrated on
other occasions, it is said, ana the
/ farmers have been enabled to store
their cotton, borrow money on the re-
/ ceipt and repay after the advance in
price.
| The Spartanburg County Cotton as
sociation only this fal. took over the
large warehouses at Camp Wadsworth,
and the tentative plans call for the Op-
Grafton of a similar system in this
county. Those who have studied the
plan say it not only is the quickest
method but probably the cheapest, as
it can be secured for much less than
they could now be built. There are
| fifteen warehouses at Camp Sewer
which could be used for storage pur-
/ poses and which if not secured soon
are likely to be put to other uses ac-
cording to a statement by those who
have made al investigation with a
view of converting the warehouses in
: a cotton depository.

weather conditions or a crop calamity
the result would prove truly a world
calamity.
There will be a vast untitled de-
mand. Cotton based uron the price
of the manufactured article, upon the
price of other commodities and upon
the cost of production, is the cheapest
commodity on the market today. II
is cheaper under these conditions al
so cents per pound today basis mid
ding, than in 1890 at five cents per
pound.
Profits of manufacturers have
reached such proportions that their
ability to pay for good grade cotton
has created bullish factor Of extra
ordinary potency. A profit of S1OO
per bale at 20 cents per pound on the
manufactured goods is really moderate
at this time. Narrow print cloth sold
this week on a basis that would give
the manufacturer a profit Of 80 cents
per pound or $3.50 per bale. Wide
print cloth sold on a basis that would
provide a profit in excess OF 30 cents
pc. pound or s175 per bale. We Ind
in our investigation a few cases in
which goods of special construction
which for this reason were quite scarce,
are returning a profit Of 81 cents per
pound or 1870 per bale. The cotton
used in the manufacture Of these spec
ial goods is, strict middling one inch
cotton.
1.-THE cotton producer, under the or
ganization of the American Cotton
association, is today able to protect
himself. He has wisely arranged to
warehouse his cotton and distribute
the marketing of same over a period
of II months instead Of rushing the
entire crop upon the market, regard
less of price, in a period Of three
months. For this purpose warehouses
are being established in every cotton
growing county in the cotton belt own
ed and conducted bv the cotton pro-
QuCeTS, OpeIdleu uuuSi ShS SNSNNS Nf
federal warehouse act. For the pur-
pose of carrying this marketing over
the full period, he has wisely decided
to remove 100000 bales Of good grade
cotton off the market and place same
in warehouse until next July or August
in the meantime, the balance of the
crop will be slowly marketed month by
month. In short crop years part OF
the crop will be carried to period just
prior to the time when the new crop
comes on the market and in full crop
years, necessary surplus will be car
ried over until a short crop recreates
a demand for same that will bring
profit to the producer.
1--WE are facing a complete change
r N = the cotton industry and we must
prepare to catch step and meet these

BUENOS AYRES, March 15,-The
Argentine government issued q decree
to-day empowering the Custom House
to load and unload ships and national

This followed an effort by Sir Regi-

reach a compromise between the shin

of mediator, which he assumed earlier
in the day. The men demand full paw
for the past month, during which they
have been idle. Sir Reginald suggest

paid for fifteen days. The owners re-
fused to consider the proposal.
Under the decree issued by the gov

ASUNCION, Paraguay, March 16-A
movement has been started here to
have the government requisition all
ships in trade between Buenos Ayres
and Asuncion on account of the port
strike at Buenos Ayres. The Argentine
government also will be asked to facili-

The port strike at Buenos Aires
began January and was followed
several days later by general sym
pathetic strike, which tied up the
city's transportation system and
most of it's leading industries. The
general strike was called off about
the middle of the month after Presi-

leaders to look into the grievances of
the harbor workers. The port tieup
persisted, however.
Continuous agitation by anarchists

German Control of
Metal Markets of
World Is Smashed
Report of Alien Property
Custodian Shows How Oc-
topus Was Eliminated;
Big Three i'm u. S. Hands

WASHINGTON, March 16. - Ger
many's control of the zinc and lead
markets of the world and her tre-
mendous interest in other metals
were shown by a REPORT to-day of the
Alien Property Custodian to have been
broken in large part.
All metal concerns in the United
States that were controlled in Ger
many have been either disbanded or
Americanized, and the report declares
chat it is believed the German in1u-
ences in our metal market have been
completely eliminated"
Germany welded tremendous power
over markets by the fact that her
three great metal combinations acted
in concert in the purchase Of ore and
the establishment of smelters. Each Of
the three had branch in the United
States-the American Metal Company,
representing the Metallgesellschaft of
Frankfurt; L. Vogelstein & Co., repre-
senting Aron Hirsch & Son, and Beer,
Sondheimer G. Co., representing the
German syndicate of the same name.
Their profits in 1916 amounted to
s12,0O0,000. Of which $7,000,000 was
made by the American branches.
The Alien Property Custodian found
frequent attempts to transfer stocks
to supposed Americans, to circumvent
seizure. The efforts were useless.
Disposition now has been decided
upon in all three cases. Beer, Sond-
hcimer & Co. is in process of liquida-
ton, including it's subsidiaries, the Ma
tional Zinc Company, the Norfolk
Smelling Company and the Cuba Cop
per Leasing Company, and 1t was said
the stock would go into American hands
only. The company's control over i'm
portant flotation patents also has been
destroyed.
Control Of l.. vogelstein & Co. has
been assumed by the custodian for five
years by means Of voting trust, and
tho firm agrees not to resume relations
with its German connections in that
period. This arrangement was devised
because Vogelstein is an American citi-
zen. and IT has not been possible to
learn the exact interest of Aron
Hirsch & Son in the Vogelstein assets.
BY agreement between the custodian
and American stockholders Of the
American Metal Company all Of the
stock has been put into a voting trust
