CHRISTIAN SERVICES,


The largest congregation Of the
meeting was out last night at the
courthouse. Bro. H. c. Dodson
preached an able sermon taking for
his subject, "The Beginning of the
Height of Grace in the Hearts Of
Men"
He showed conclusiyely that this
reign of Grace began on the day of
Pentacost. With powerful argu-
ments and telling speech he held his
audience through the entire dis
course.
Brother Dodson is a most remark
able man. A Confederate veteran,
who began preaching after he was
40 years old and has been in the
ministry Tor 4G years. Although
81, he speaks with the zeal and vigor
of a man of 40. A lifelong Meth
odist friend of his, who now lives in
Americas, said yesterday, "his con.
secrated Christian life is the great
est sermon he ever preached
Come cut and hear this good man
preach tonight at courthouse at
1880 Subject tonight: "The Resto-
ration of the New Testament
Church.
The services will close Thursday
night.

THE SAPIRO PLAN !
MERCHANT.

Great numbers of southern coun-
try merchants receive cotton direct,
or take a lien on it, in lieu of cash,
for supplies which they furnish to
farmers.
If they take cotton direct, they
are in the precise position IN the
cotton market Of the cotton grower.
When he gees it in the neck, they
catch it in the same place. even
so. Most of them would prefer to
receive cash. The Sapiro plan as
ISOLATION is meant to put the grower
in q position to pay cash tor his
merchandise.
Where they take a lien on cotton,
cash payment by the grower will
also gradually be substituted; or, if
they prefer to continue to extend
credit and retain the lien, the as
ISOLATION will strengthen the obliga-
ton by backing the farmers paper
itself in taking over the cotton, or,
at the option of the lien-holder, viii
not take the cotton at adjust as
explained in the preceding article.
There are some cooperative mar.
keting associations which transform
themselves into cooperative buying
associations and compete, with fatal
efficiency, with private supply bust
nesses in furnishing the farmer
with supplies. The Sapiro contract
specifically fails to license that bust
ness. This is a selling association
purely, and that is a matter concern
ing cheaper production rather than
more advantageous sale. If the
farmer wants to form cooperative
fertilizer and supply companies, he
is at liberty to do so, but he must
form absolutely separate and indie
pendent organizations for the pur-
pose. This association cannot con-
duct them, or subsidize them, or in
any way engage in the supply bust
ness-it is beyond its purpose, and
beyond its charter or its rights un-
der the law.
So much for the Sapiro plan as
it directly affects the country mer-
chant and the larger merchant who
sells directly to the farmer.
But the greatest point of all in
this angle of the subject affects
equally, not only the special class
just mentioned, but every banking
and business interest of the South.
1t will not be necessary to quote
Secretary Wallace, President Hard
ing, or any other great men of the
hour to avoid contradiction of the
statement that the whole United
States is right now realizing one
thing; that the prosperity of the en-,
tire American business fabric
trade, finance. industry, railroads
depends directly on the prosperity of
the American farmer. If the business
of the nation feels that way, what
about the business of the South,

THE SAPIRO PLAN AND
THE, MERCHANT
BYVICTOR VICTOR.

which Is distinctly an agricultural
section?
If the merchant in the larger city
who does not sell direct to farmers
does not yet realize how he is di-
rectly involved in this proposition
Of farmer welfare, let him consider
that he sells to a community which
does, directly or indirectly sell to
farmers, and then let him bethink
him Of what happens to his own or
his customers line Of credit at a
southern bank when that bank is
loaded to the gun-walcs carrying un-
profitable cotton.
And whatever Investigation Of
crops, or better marketing of other
crops we may achieve in the future,
the Improbable marketing of cot
ton is right now the greatest single
factor upon which the immediate
prosperity of the South depends.
The Sapiro plan for cotton aims to
insure, in the most efficient way,
that profitable marketing.
This is short. But is more neces-
sary to the southern merchant or the
southern banker?
