PURCHASE STOCK IN NEW CONCERN iKiTmrcT cunu/M I\T COTTON JIX1 1 JL UA1V ?? 1.1 ( EXPORT CORPORATION Plans to Deal Direct With Euro-! pean Buyers?Want Fair Price for Producer. i The State, 2nd. Subscriptions m xne iurm Ui v.aou, cotton and Liberty .bonds to the capital stock of the American Products, Exports and Imports corporation; have already been* received by the j organization committee of the con- j cern, it was stated yesterday by the | | committee. This exporting corporation, which i is to hfeve an initial capital of $10,- i 000,000, is being organized for thej - purpose of selling cotton direct* to j foreign buyersr especially in central j ? > ?^ at. _ ! Europe, and is an outgrowrn 01 tne, American Cotton association, which for months has been preaching the j gospel of ^'freedom from Wall street! speculators." One subscription was received feyj wire from Senator Nat B. Dial. i Richard I. Manning, chairman of, the committee having in charge the! organization and promotion of the j corporation, said yesterday that much j V. interest was being taken in it, that: the people were aroused over its, possibilities and that already sub-1 mi. 1 - ? scriptions were commg in. ine exporting corporation, he said, was an | outgrowth of the American Cotton j . association, which for months has j been considering some means by i Which cotton producers might steer j clear of speculators and obtain a j price for cotton based upon supply and demand. The corporation yesterday issued j prospectus, in which are set forth its an /I niimftSPS. HUU X- ?f The first effort of the corporation, says the prospectus, will be to export ,'*v cotton to central Europe. Excerpts From Prospectus. Other excerpts from the prospec-j s: . tus are as follows: | "Central Europe has many cotton j " mills which are idle for the reason that the owners have not the money to buy cotton, and have not the requisite credit, but if time is extended until the cotton can be manufactured the mills have good secur. ity to offer until the manufactured gSr goods may be sold and payment for ^ ,r -li xne cutum uiauc. "In some cases the government of the country, as well as the banks, will , guarantee the payments. They require lower grades, but also require some of the better grades. The organization of a corporation to meet this situation has been suggested by leading men of the nation. "W. P. G. Harding, governor of the ? federal reserve board, the head of the federal reserve jbank of the whole United tSates, wires under date of August 25, 1920, as follows: ? Tnufvoi I7!nrnr>p has the sninmng ' MVkJ. _ and weaving capacity, the mills and the labor, but lacks raw material. The South has the raw cotton. If a corporation could be formed under . the Edge act taking cotton in payment for stock, there would be opportunity for direct dealings between y Southern producers and European mills. A movement of this kind would put n$w life in the market, for it would stimulate buying by domestic and British mills. The degree of risk appears to depend upon the stability of governments in central Europe, and if capital, which is not interested in cotton growing, does not care to assume this risk, it must be "borne bv oroducers themselves. If anything is to be done, do not think the cotton situation can be improved iby calamity talk, which can only lead \ to further depression, but believe it can ibe saved if there is injected a get together spirit of courage, self reliance and determination, followed iby prompt action along practical and constructive lines. People who can help themselves are assured of the most dependable and effective help. Courage breeds confidence and nothing succeeds like success.' "Many similar expressions from the most successful men have been received, and the plan has the indorsement of the sound business men, cotton growers and leaders of the South. Will Be of Good Benefit. "While it is hoped that the stock will yield a prompt return, even if this should not be realized, a tremendous advantage and benefit will be gained for the entire cotton growing industry if trade relations direct \ with central Europe could be estab Jisnt-U uy U1C tuuuu uiuuuicu \J i. lilt South. "Propositions have already been received from European manufacfacturers and bankers, having the approval of the government, which may result in the prompt sale of cotton and its shipment abroad, if the company can promptly meet the situation end be in a position to make the contracts and perfect the details neces-j ? ? m ? ? ?i ?a???? ??a savy for the shipments. But to do | this the cor^nany must have sufIficient cottv a hand; one proposl-j I tion under consideration covers 100,i 000 bales. i j "Subscriptions will be payable in [cotton at the market price, Liberty; ! bonds at the "market price and cash, j Send subscriptions to Richard I. j j Manning, chairman, Columbia, S.

This may be a round about way, but here is the idea without further fuss: It is too late to kick now about what you might have done.
