BIG COTTON CORPORATION*. President Waimamaker Says Hundred Million Dollar Company Will be Organized. St. Matthews, S. C., April 14?The following interview v?as given cut by J. Skottowe Wannawcker, chr.irman of the South Carolina Cotton asso^ ciation, upon his return from the conveution of cotton growers fceld at Memphis. "The result of the work of this con ? volition will indeed be far reaching, which was largely attended. Not only every state is consolidated in the movement for cotton acreage reduction &nd the holding of cotton lor remunerative prices, but they are determined to bring about conditions that will revolutionize the entire business interest of the South and win commercial freedom. I have given the closest attention and study to the organization of the foreign exporting corporation, the organization of this corporation, with a capital stock ol $100,000,000?said stock to be paid in Liberty Loan bonds or cash. The stock to be divided between each of ' the cotton belt in proportion to the amount of cotton produced in said countries, will certainly bring the south a complete change in business methods. It will place the farmer in touch with the markets of the entire i world: it will bring competition :nto i the n^arket; will break up and abso^ lutely destroy a concentration of the buying power in the hands of a few, , which has largely resulted on one buyer for cotton, and, of course, he ^ . has bought at his own price. It will J furnish financial relief to the farm- j er, it being the function of this cor- j po rati on to export cotton; to furnish r buyers and sellers for cotton; to h&ve t agencies at all of the cotton buying ? countries of the world; to put the f seller in touch with the buyer; to e furnish financial aid; to co-operate f with and assist other exporters. New Place in Exporting World. i This corporation will largely fulfill ' the place in the exporting world, a id 1 .Y* to a laTge degree in the banking * world to the south that the federal 1 reserve bank now furnishes to the 1 nation. Investment in the stock of 1 this corporation will be taken in ca^.h * or Liberty loan bonds, and I feel coa- 8 vinced that while it is not the object * to form this corporation for the put- 1 Ipose-of earning large dividends to the stockholders, at the same, time the ' stock will certainly prove a safe, t sound business investment^ and will a bring good direct cash returns and will bring tremendous indirect re- r turns to the investor and the entire south. The stock will be extremely f t desirable and for this reason the corporation will be so incorporated that d it will be impossible for large corpor- * ationg to secure control of the stock; 1 it being determined that the stock c must remain in the hands of those who are vitally interested in ell that '' concerns the best interests of the cot- e ton producers. Committees are now c actively at work making a special study of plans and details. The cor- e poration will be organised, and with f all possible speed. It has been decided to make a sale ( of the stock through the various j banks and agencies of the south in ^ the same manner that Liberty loan bonds were handled. The organiza \ tion of this corporation will mean in the end commercial freedom; it will mean that we will get remunerative j prices for our cotton and in my hum- E ble judgment, means a price far j above the price generally held as a ( remunerative price. a Acreage reduction and holding cf cotton for remunerative prices and conditions through the cotton belt: } ) A8 a result of not only a close per- J sonal inspection and investigation a throughout quite a number of the t leading cotton growing states, but as < a result of additional personal inter* < views with representatives from every ' section of each of the cotton growing states, I find that the" campaign for reduction of cotton acreage and the holding of cotton for remunerative prices is thoroughly organised the entire belt. The cotton acreage for 1919 will certainly show the biggest reduction in the last thirty years. People are thoroughly aroused to the situation, and in many sections they are, cutting cotton, even beyond. 33 1-3 per cent. They realise that lands so reduced can properly be planted in food crops. Tte campaign among the farmers signing pledges to discontinue after this year orders to the west for grain, hay and other food crops in sweeping the country." o? DISCHARGED SOLDIERS.

I HUV TO PAY HUNDRED BILLION MARKS. ' ' 1 Final Figures on Reparation Given Out After Weeks of Negotiations by the Allied Nations. Paris, April 14?(By the Associated Press.)?One hundred billion gold marks is the amount Germany must pay the Allied, and associated gov- j ernments for losses and damage caused in the war, plus other bilIions to be determined by a special commission on which Germany i? to be represented This is the finai and defi ite conclusion which hn.6 been reduced to writing after weeks of negotiations which took a wide range and involved frequent changes and modifications. The payment of the hun- j dred billion gold iharks is to be divided into three distinct amounts as follows: i i First, twenty billion within two years. Second, forty billion during thirty. years beginning 1921. Third, forty billion, when a com-i mission shall determine how it shall i be done. In view of the fluctuations through | which the negotiations have passed, an authoritative statement was obtained today concerning the final terms of the settlement. This sums up the conditions as follows: Summary of Conditions. Germany is at the outset held generally responsible for losses and damiges in accordance with President IVilson's fourteen points and the i lllied reponse at the time the arm- i stice was concluded, To determine he extent of the payment under this esponsibility a commission is set up 0 take testimony, assemble data and j irrange all details of the payments |( rom the enemy and distribution tmong the Allied and * associated >owers. While the commission will ad minster' the details of the payments, suficient is known to permit the deternipation that an initial payment will >e required of the twenty billion gold nark.: payable in two yearB without nterest. It has also been determined hat forty billion gold marks shall I >e payable to bonds extending over 1 period of thirty years beginning 921, with a sinking fund beginning n 1926. Rate of Interest. These forty billion marks draw 2% >er cent interest from 1921 to 1926 .nd 5 per cent after 1926. In addition to the foregoing pay- ( nents. Germany also will be requird to deliver additional bonds for ( orty billion marks, whea the comiiission determines that this 'Shall be ione. These three payments of tweny, forty and forty billions brings the otal to one hundred billion gold ' narks. Beyond this total, the commission j empowered to fix anything furth-: r that may Ibe required to cover ilermany's indebtedness. "In other words," concluded the minent American authorfty, who ramed the terms and furnished the oregoing summary, "a commission et up with power, to collect from Jermany to the utmost of her capacty to pay, within the limitation of ler indebtedness.'' i SPOONFUL GIVES RESULTS.
