ERS' EXPORT CORPORATION L Corporation Wil Have Capital of Twelve Million Dollars of Which One Half Will Be Paid In / Columbia, Nov. i ?J. Pop?? Mat - tlirws, president of the Palmetto Na? tional hank, leaves this afternoon for New Orleans where ho goes to meet with other Southern bankers for the purpose of organizing a corporation ???hieb will have for its purpose the financing uf cotton exporters. The project was launched at. th" ? recent meeting of the American Hank? ers' Association dn Washington, and Itohert P. Maddox, president of the ' Atlanta* National bank, was appoint-] cd chairman of a committee to carry out the project. Mr. Maddox has called th<? <*mectinT for Saturday morning in Now Orleans, ami Mr. Mall hews goes to the meeting as a member of the organization com? mittee. Other bankers of the state have been invited to attend the meet? ing in New Orleans. This corporation will he an aid to the export company which Ex-Oo\ ornor Manning is organizing under tin auspices of the American Cotton association, and the purpose of the hankers is to aid in financing this and all other exporter.',. Mr. Maddox. recently, in explain? ing the purpose of the bankers said. "We propose to form a corporation with an authorized capital stock of &12.000.000. This represents $1 ntP halo for the estimated cotton pro? duction. Tin1 stock is to he prorat? ed among the cotton states accord? ing to start business with a0 per tent, of the stock, amounting to $6,- | aefj.OOO, paid in. This would enable Hie corporation to handle $00.111111,000 worth of paper. "The corporation would ant engage in tin* business of buying cotton here and selling it abroad. Its busi? ness would he to handle th paper taken by cotton exporters id payment lor cotton which they bought here and would not interfere at all with the export corporation (or company) which South Carolina business men ere undertaking to organize under the auspices of the American Cotton < association. That company proposes i 10 buy cotton here and sell it abroad, s 1 s I understand ily*plans. The flnan- ] ^.ial corporation which we are n proposing to launch with South? ern banking capital would bo a help to that company and to all other con? cerns engaged in the es port of cot? ton. "Not only would the corporation, he prepared to handle paper repre? senting exports of cotton, but >?Dlso paper representing exports of any other raw product of the South, as well ns manufactured products of the South. "The time has come, in my judg? ment, when we have got to push our exports. There has her n a suggestion of a great national exporting corpora? tion to finance all exports of whatever kind from nil parts of the country- I do not believe there is sufficient na? tional cohesion of interests to bring it about. What appears to me to be more suitable and useful is a number of smaller corpoj*atons organized in the different sections to handle the ex? ports of their particular actions. Thus, in the south an export corpor? ation established primarily to handle the cotton exports, with the financial capacity to handle other exports as well. "We have in the south the capi? tal necessary to handle our products in a big way on the markets of the world. It will strengthen us im? mensely to help ourselves." The Sumter Creamery will he in operation within a short time. There has been some delay in securing a suitable building, bu* this has been practically arranged and the machin? ery is here for installation.
