Proclamation Issued i By Wannamaker ! r CAFFS FOR FORMATION' OF COT- | TON CORPORATIONS TO FI- ! NANCE "DISTRESS" COTTON. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 26.?J. Skottowe Wana maker. president ol the American Cotton Association, has issued a proclamation setting aside ten days, October 1-10 as "Protection and j Self-Preservation Davs," in the cotton ' belt. Farmers, merchants, bankers business and professional men arc called upon in those ten days to form . corporations for the erection of warehouses to be owned and controlled by j the people and also for the formation j of corporations for the purpose of pur- j chasing "distress cotton." The proclamation issued by Mr. Wannamaker follows in full: WHEREAS we have received many! i telegrams and letters from every sec- j tion of the belt urging that a regular j date set aside to be known as "Protec- j tion and Self-Preservation Days," to ' I 'be used by farnters, bankers, mer- , chants,business and professional men j and all other interested in the protec- , tion and self-preservation of the South, for the purpose of organizing j and erecting warehouses to be owned and controlled by the people and operated 'either under the federal ware- j house act for the warehousing of cot- I ton or under the Canon plan, so that j every producer in. every county and J parish in the cotton belt can be placed ; in a position to warehouse his cotton j and borrow money on same until the j minimum price set. by the American i * I Cotton Assocation has been reached: , to be used further for the purpose of j organizing buying corporations under the Jennings Plan, so that corporations can be formed for the purchase of distressed cotton which is sold below the minimum price set by the Association. Therefore, in compliance with ! these requests, I hereby set aside ten j days commencing October 10th, to be i known as "Protection and Self-Pre- , serration Days" for the purpose named j above. We are facing the shortest crop in the last decade. This crop added to the carry-over will fall far short of the demand for raw* cotton.

The mills have an enormous demand j for the manufactured product, and on ! account of their limited supply will be ! forced to enter the cotton market ; very actively within the next thirty j days. We will have active competitive buyinsr as soon as Europe enters j the market, and you can rest assured j that the Kuroneans will not permit the loss of their trade. Europe is in . far better condition today than the | South was in 1S60-7.". I have just' sold one million yards of cloth at a ; price which would have justified me j in paying1 forty-five cents r>cr pound j for the rctw cotton and still ieave me \ room to make a handsome profit." The manhood, the loyalty and the . patriotism of the South will win. | The key to the situation is the erec- j tion of warehouses under the Cannon ; plan and the financing cotton through ' the hankers and the great Federal Re- j serve Svstem and also deemed ncc- i j for ito acid-distressed || | I try two or three ^ J i sf cr meals, dissolved on the J| j ? tasgnc?keep your stomach g S evTcet?try ftS-moids? the new |j] j aid io digestion. ; KAB2 BY SCOTT ?
