The objects of he corporation, as
painted out Ly one familiar with its
.n,, are as follows:
Tho corporation Is to handle cotton
chiefly at firAt but plans later to in
clude corn, gra-in, tobacco, peanuts
and] others, inasmuch as the cotton
association is encouraging diversiflea
tionl of crops.
The chief purpose of tile Comloration
is lo create a direct market from the
producer to tit consulier.
A large portion of the spindles of
Europe are idle because they have not
the funds with which -to purchase cot
ton. Therefore, Eut-ope, one of the
' largett consumers of low grade cotton,
- is now, and has been for several years,
out of the market. A representative
of one of the European Governments
has stated that it was their desire to
(Il direct ryrith the cotton producer,
and that If the cotton producer would
frnish the op.&or'tuniity w heteby they
mnighit secure the needed oetton at th'is
ime, his countrmy wouldl never forget
the kindnmess, and he wvas positive it
woulId meanI tihe -beglunlig of a perma--~

(could be sold (lirect from tile prioduicer'

CITY WATER NOW
MODElRNLY PURIFIED
NOw InstruMIent Iistalled to Get Itid
of Germ iI Drinking Water
taurons water drinkers, and this
has about come 'to Include all the pop
ulation since prohibition .went into ef
feet, may no longer fear the presence
of germsin their drinkn'g water, ac
cordng to a pronunclo Issued by J. 1M.
Philpot, superintendent of the water
and light department following an in
sipection Monday of a very sensitive
looking machine Just in'stalled at the
power house. The water will be geni
erally clear, but sometimes it may be a
little muddy after 'big rains as it has
been in the 'past, he said, but no longer
will the little animaculac be hiding
behind .the clods of dirt in the bottom
of your glass. Bat, drink and lbe rerry,
he said, for the little suns-of-guns are
dead and can't do any harm even if
they 'get inside. Mr.. Philpot rolficked
along something like this for soie
time, but his further words will not be
quoted-exactly.
The instrument or machine is
known as a chlorlinator. By a very in
genious operation it discharges a cer
tain amount of chlorine gas, deadly to
the little germs, into the water as it
passes from the settling tank to the
sterilizer. The amount is sufficient to
kill all the germs, but not enough to
injure the drinking qualities of the
water. -While it does away with the
germ menace, it has nothing to do
(with clarifying the water of velgetable
matter or of removing the muddy col
or after rains. Improvellents along
this line are now contemplated and
may come at an early date. With this
instrument Installed, It i, thought that
the fear of germ contamination should
be removed. The instrument is one
similar to others now being installed
in all the modern plants.

TIhe State.
Ex-Gov. R. 1. Manning, nvho went
to Atlanta I'htrsday night for -a Con
ference tlere in regard to the organ
izing of the Cotton Exports corpora
tion In Georgia, Alabama and Allssis
sill)i, is expected to return today.
News at his ofilce yesterday was to
the effect that hiu mission had been
even more successful than he had an
ticlpated, and that all obstacles are
being mot and overcome in all of the
states.
Governor .\lanning's oflice is in re
ceipt of numt Ilerous messages of en
couragement. Among some that have
come in are the following extracts
from letters and telegrams:
Victor Montgomery, Spartanburg,
financier and manufacturer: "I In
dorse the tmovement and think it. will
be a great betefit to both farmer and
manufacturer. If lower grades can -be
sold for export, will be very stimliu
lating to both goods and cotton."
W. L. Daniel, Saluda farmer and
public citizen: "I am interested in
the plan for handling cotton through
the corporation being organized to do
business on credit with central Eu
rope. I have confidence In such a
scheme, and I fervently hope that It
is the entering wedge that will dl
vorce the cotton farmer of the South
from the raids annually planned and
executed by the Northern bears."
W. 1. 0. Hlarding, governor of the
federal banking board, stated to a
committee of the American Cotton as
sociation that the federal reserve sys
tem is prepared for such credit expan
sion as may be necessary to move the
cro;s and called attention of the de
s(irabilitv of the formation of an ex
port corporation by Southern cotton
interests.
Do Everythinig In Power.
Ht. C. .attlews of Newberry, chair
man of tho -banking committee of the
Pouth Carolina Cotton association:
"You may rely upo\ me to do every
hilng in my power to be of assistance
in the formation of the piroposed cor
poration."
A New York banking house says:
"It is obviously much better to take'
Into exchange European bonds, guar
anteed by the governments, than to
allow this excessive cotton (the un
saleable low grades) to break the
market by super'abundance or' to re
main in the hands of the growecrs or
the present owners without sale."
l'ried S. .\unseli, state dlirector of
the New York ife Insurancc com
pany, in directing his agents to pro
mote the sale of the stock says: "o
gradle cot totn is now a drug on the
muarket . The mills of central E'urope
want this grade of ('otton and that is
the only mtariket for it. As long as
his low gradle cotton is le here It
will dci;ress thle marketi on Itigher
grades, andl is allways a men nec to fair
