Columbia, Juno 9.-Tho co-opera tion of tho bunkers und Kinners of .South Carolina with tho Amorlcan Cotton Association for the construc tion of warehouses is being sought, said J, S. Wannamaker. president of the American Cotton Association, in an interview to-day. Philis are being made, according to President Wannamaker, for tho organisation of a colton hank and export corporation In this state. ' Oovernor Hugh .M. Dorsey, Of Georgia, who ls organising the (?cor-: gia cotton Hank and Trust Corpora-j Hon, has practically completed the organisation of this great institu tion," said Mr. Wannamaker. "(?ov ernor Dorsey delivered one of the best addresses at the Montgomery convention, pointing out the vital necessity of organizing a cotton bank and export corporation in each cot ton-producing State in America, and then the organization tjt a largo Southern export corporation to serve as the hub through which the State institutions are to v;ork. He is ex tremely anxious to learn the pro gram of the organization of a bank and export corporation similar to his in South Carolina. Governor Dorsey points out the fact that the bankers, business men and farmers are solidly behind his corporation in (leorgla, all of them recognizing Hie fact that this institution will prove mutually beneficial. All of his people readily realize that lt ls of vital necessity that such an organization be formed for tho upbuilding of the commer cial life of tho South and the pro tection of our great cotton produc ing Industry. "It will bo remembered that a committee was appointed at the an nual meeting of the South Carolina division of the American Cotton As sociation in December to organize a similar Institution. This commit tee was reappointed ut the semi annual meeting of the South Caro lina division this spring. "Under the plans of the South Carolina division strenuous efforts will be used to secure the erection of sufficient warehouses to carry the entire cotton crop of liiLM) and to streich the sale over a full period of twelve months, as has been done heretofore, only selling cotton to the manufacturer when he will pay a profitable price for same. "South Carolina will also adopt a . plan prepared by the national presi dent of the association concerning thc co-operation of the bankers and ginners In the State. A question naire and letter will he sent to every hanker and ginner in South Carolina requesting that iiiey unite with the South Carolina division for the pur pose of putting the cotton produc ing industry upon a safe, sound bus iness basis, and also for thc purpose 'V"t the ftgrieultural Inter ests of thc state.

Numerous outstanding examples of rare war-time postage stamps are found among those of the former German colonies seized by the Brit ish or French expeditionary forces and reissued with the addition of an imprint denoting the new order of things. When the British and the French troops Invaded Togoland on August 7, 1914, the German ofhclnls hastily removed their stocks of stamps inland and hid them in some drled-up wells. Their whereabouts were revealed to the British author itioi and the stamps recovered, to th? ace value of about $20,OOO,were adapted for uso under the conjoint administration by over-printing them with "Togo-Anglo-French Oc cupation," or Its equivalent in the French. Of certain values the quan-j titles found were small. Of the 60-i pfennig stamp there were hut 2-1 copies available, and they are valued j to-day at $f>00 each. Tho 32 known j specimens of the two-mark stamp are worth $600 each, while $f>,000 each has been offered for the three-mark and five-mark denominations, of which but two copies of each exist. lt is in the French series, over printed "Occupation Franco-Ang laise" nt thc Catholic Mission, Lome, Togoland, that tho rarest of all war stamps occurs. No "mark" values had been included in tlie original French issue, but in the latter part of lill I a few were unearthed. They comprised a single one-mark German colonial stamp, seven of the two mark, two of the three-mark and three of the live-mark. Tho mark stamp is valued by experts to-day at $ I e.imo. Following tlie seizure of Samoa by an expeditionary force from New Zeajand in August, Hill, German stamps were over-printed with Ibo initials "O. lt. I." and new values in liri tish currency. Owing, it is said, to (ho employment of a half caste compositor whose acquaintance with the Fnglish language was of the slightest, the first supply of one mark stamps to receive this imprint ?ll bore thc superscription " i shil ling." The one shilling stamps cor rectly over-printed aro worth $fi2f> and those with the errors not more than n third of that. sum. At llabaul, the capital of German New Cuinca, the stamps soized on tho Australian occupation, were pressed into service to meet imme diate postal requirements after being ?ver-printed with thc royal cipher i d values in pence and shillings at ii temporary printing oilice set up in ii mission school room.

Maude's army in 1917. The Turks had destroyed all the stamps in the 0. P.

The work was laboriously car ried out with the aid of a somewhat primitive press and badly worn typo. A complete set of Bagdad stamps is now worth something like $1.500, although at the time it oculd have been bought for about $1.75. Help Mexico Fight Plague.
