VOL. 39?NO 46 CHESTERFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, 4 1920 $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCb* FAIR NEXT WEEK ARRANGEMENTS ALL MADE FOR BIGGEST EXHIBITION YET Many Free Shows Will Furnish Entertainment All Day Long To Visitors The eighth annual exhibition of the Chesterfield County Fair Association starts next Tuesday. The fair this year will be the biggest and best yet, just as the each preceding one has been better than the one before. The prizs have stimulated the interest of the exhibitor, so >^that the exhibits will therefore be on a higher plane than ever before. All preliminary arrangements for the transportation of the Krause Shows have been made.This big aggre Ration will arrive on a special train of twenty cars and will be taken in sections of five or six cars to a convenient spot opposite the fair grounds and unloaded. The shows will come in Monday or Sunday as it will require a couple of days to prepare their paraphenalia, erect the various apparatus, tents, etc. In addition to the Krause Shows may be mentioned the Ferris Wheel Girls, The Dellamcad Troupe, The Earl Sisters and Joe Kiljoy, the world famous clown. Each of these features will give free exhibitions twice daily. so that visitors to the fair will be constantly amused. Two bands will furnish music of a high order. In fact it was the intention of the Fair Association when arranging the program for this year's fair to make the attractions so numerous that several visits would be necessary in order to take in the entire array of entertainment that would be provided. The landing field has been worked over and surfaced and is in fine condition for Aviator Merrill when he arrives in his big army plane. There has been a good deal of speculation as to who will be the first to take a flight with Mr. Merrill. All possibility of a disappoint in regard to the appearance of the flier has been done away with this year, as several other aeronauts with machines will be in readiness to take his place should any accident prevent his coming as happened last year. Those desiring to enter live stock \ at the County Fair should get them ' properly entered with the Secretary, Mr. T. E. Mulloy not later than Friday the 5th. Remember it often occurs that you can enter one animal in more than one class. T. H. Douglass. WOMEN VOTE IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTY While the vote cnst in Tuesday's elections will not be counted until next Tuesday, close observers at the polls noted that the women were voting in larger numbers than wus generally expected. It is estimated that ^ only about thirty of the newly en^ franchised voters went to the polls at (the Court House, but reports coming in from other sections of the county indicate that in most instances much larger numbers of the fair sex took part in the election. 'Squire T. H. Douglass sends word from Odom's Mill that four ladies voted there. They were Mrs. T. II. Douglass, Mrs. E. W. Sowell, Mrs. W. N. Kelly and Mrs. M. E.

ED( * RUBY BANKERS GIVE ASSURANCE OF COTTON CREDIT Assurance that the Federal Reserve Board Banks will lend their assistance in helping the farmers carry their cotton and market it to the best advantage has been given by at least two high ofllcials of Federal Reserve Banks in the Cotton Belt. Judge W. F. Ramsey, head of the Federal Reserve Bank at Dallas, stated to the Texas Cotton Organization on September 1 that all loans on cotton properly warehoused and insured would be rediscounted when present 1 D n 1. vu vw tiiav rcuciai UWCIVB DttllK through its member banks. On September 15, Governor M. C. Wellborn of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Atlanta district, which caters to most of the cotton states, stated that his bank, through its member banks, would accept cotton paper from merchants or cotton shippers for 90 days and would rediscount six-months notes made by the farmers themselves up to 80 per cent, of the market value of their cotton, if the cotton was insured and properly warehoused. This assistance from the Federal Reserve Banks coupled with the available money of the smaller banks in the South and with the fact that a great many farmers have sufficient finances to carry their own cotton without a loan, removes any doubt i that the farmers of the South will be ' able to hold their cotton a sufficient length of time for the market to become stabilized. These statements from the heads of the Federal Reserve Banks are especially timely, inasmuch as there was some fefling of uneasiness that cotton would be forced on the market due to inadequate facilities. Farmers should take this matter up with their bankers or secretaries of I the cotton marketing association or warehouses and arrange for sufficient credit to pay off their immediate bills and to enable them to carry their cotton as long as it seems necessary. Short loans of only 90 days would be helpful as they would carry the cotton through until actual figures show how much cotton was produced until the cotton market is on a firm basis. If it is necessary these short loans can in all probability be renewed at the end of that time.?The Progressive Farmer. ? i i, ... , PATRICK In last week's paper our correspondent gave the Presbyterians credit for raising only $5.85 on work day.

IEWORTH EXPORT CORPORATIONS NOT OPPOSED - I Columbia, Nov. 1.?When it was 1 announced from Washington a few, days ago that Robert F. Maddox, of ' Atlanta, Ga., was interesting himself to form a twelve million dollar corporation to assist in exporting Southern products, there was a lot of speculation as to what effect, if any, such an organization would have upon the effort to organize the American Products Export and Import Corporation, Richard I. Manning, Chairman ^ of the Organization Committee of the r last named corporation, never had any ! } misgivings for he felt sure that the j two propositions, while similar in a I general way,were entirely unlike in es- 8 sential details. This proves to be the ' fact, from a letter received by Gov- t ernor Manning from Mr. Maddox, who is president of th?. Atlnntu Mot ? .. """ C' ional Bank. Governor Manning had assurances j immediately that there would be no ^ conflict between the "cotton exports" corporation and the proposed cor- ^ poration with which Mr. Maddox's name was connected, but the follow- y ing letter from Mr. Maddox confirms .that statement and gives assurance v that Mr. Maddox and his associates will support the organization of the h cotton experts corporation, is tin* on ly one which can handle cotton or other commodities: ^ "Ideal" Governor: q 1 beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 25th instant and as- jj sure you that the proposed export fi- ?, nance corporation under the Edge t. Act is not intended in any way to conflict with the purpose of the Am- Q erican Products Export and Import s Corporation. On the contrary it will, u if organized, be of material help to ryour company. Corporations organized under the Edge Act are specifically prohibited u from dealing in commodities. I While the Southern delgates to the ^ convention of the American Bankers j; Association at Washington unanimously approved the plan to organize ^ a corporation under the Edge Act, the matter is still pending and noth- q ing further has been done. An organization committee was appointed which will probably meet next week j in New Orleans to consider the ques- v, tion. s, I am in full sympathy with your ^ efforts and hope you will succeed in organizing your company and be- 2 lieve if the finance corporation is organized the two will work harmoni- f ou .ly together and be of mutual bene- j, fit. p Yours very trrly, ^ (s) Robt.

The state of New York, always an mportant one in a National election, ] ;ave the first {inkling of how things ' /ere going. The early returns from hat state indicated that it would be Jui arried by the Republicans by the mil inprecedented plurality of more than slij million.

' Ir Pennsylvania returns showed Hard- er ig winning an easy victory, leading t.ra !ox by three to one. Massachusetts wa3 running Rcpub- h. ican by the largest majority in hisory; Ohio, toe native state of both M andidates, was favoring the Republi- wh ans; the regular Republican states ma f New England were outdoing them- ter elves for Harding and from nowhere evi as there any encouragement for the the temocratic party. the Even in the solid South the weight fat r the landslide has been felt. Two Wa: ards in Atlanta and two parishes in ouisiana, both of which had always cen solidly Democratic, went for ] larding and the Republicans.
