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 i^that the exhibits will therefore be on a higher plane than ever before. AH preliminary arrangements for the transportation of the Krause Shows have been made.This big aggregation 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 C may be mentioned the Ferris Wheel ' Girls, The Dellamead Troupe, The Earl Sisters and Joe Kiljoy, the world fommia nlAwn /\^ ? awm.vwo vivTTii. uovu vi tucac icatuien 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 ap pearance 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 I at the County Fair should get them 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.

This is NO GENUINE ( | 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 t^o high officials of Federal Reserve Banks in the Cotton Belt. Judge W. P Domoo.. ,1 4V. W.J 1 t? ?. . ???inovj, ucau ui liic r cucrai iveserve 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 presented to that Federal Reserve Bank 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 tfanKs 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 tf loan, removes any doubt that the farmers of the South will be able to hold their cotton a sufficient length of time for the market to become stabilized. Thepe statements from the heads of the Federal Reserve Banks are" especially timely, inasmuch as there was some fefCling 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 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 4' ai mci .

SLIDE TO HARDING GoT?rnor Cos' Concede* Election Of His Opponent And It Seems To Be AU Over But the Shouting EXPORT CORPORATIONS NOT OPPOSED Columbia, Nov. 1.?When it was announced from Washington a few days ago that Robert F. Maddox, pf 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 last named corporation, never had any misgivings for he felt sure that the two propositions, while similar in a general way,were entirely unlike in essential details. This proves to be the fact, from a letter received by Governor Manning from Mr. Maddox, who is president of the Atlanta National Bank. Governor Manning had assurances immediately that there would be no vuiiiuci Dciween tne "cotton exports" corporation and the proposed corporation with which Mr. Maddox's name was connected, but the following: letter from Mr. Maddox confirms that statement and gives assurance that Mr. Maddox and his associates will support the organization of the cotton experts corporation, :is the on ly one which can handle cotton or other commodities: 'Dear Governor: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 25th instant and assure you that the proposed export finance corporation under the Edge Act is not intended in any way to conflict with the purpose of the American Products Export and Import Corporation. On the contrary it will, if organized, be of material help to your company. Corporations organized under the Edge Act are specifically prohibited from dealing in commodities. wmie tne southern delgates to the convention of the American Bankers Association at Washington unanimously approved the plan to organize a corporation under the Edge Act, the matter is still pending and nothing further has been done. An organization committee was appointed which will probably meet next week in New Orleans to consider the question. I am in full sympathy with your efforts and hope you will succeed in organizing your company and believe if the finance con>or*Hon Is organized the two will work harmoniously together and be of mutual benefit. Yours very trrly, (s) Robt. S. Maddox. BANK STOCK FOR SALE Forty shares of the stock of the Peoples' Bank, of Chesterfield, S. C., otvned by the estate of Win. G.

Porter Shortly befbre midnight Tuesday The Dayton ^fews, Governor Cox's newspaper, announced that Senator Harding h; d been elected president. Returns poking in from Eastern and Middle-Western states gave Harding such fcerrijic majorities that the Republican! landslide was evident and the Demoeratic hopes were dashed to earth. The state of New York, always an important onedn a National election, gave the first Inkling of how things were going. ' "he early returns from that state ind) sated that it would be carried by th i Republicans by the unprecedente<Pp?urality of more than a million. iTe city of New York, which is nominally Democratic, gave early indicatig ns that it had flopped and was going Republican by half a million. Pennsylvanl i returns showed Hard mg wiiiuiiiK up easy victory, leading Cox by three tib one. Massachusetts was running Republican by the largest majority in history; Ohio, toe native state of both candidates, wm favoring the Republicans; the regular Republican states of New England were outdoing themselves for Harding and from nowhere was there any {encouragement for the Democratic pflrty. - Even in thoraolid South the weight or the landslide has been felt. Two wards in Atlmata and two parishes in Louisiana, both of which had always been solidly {Democratic, went for Harding and tjie Republicans. The states t from which returns, though not complete, leave no doubt as to the Republican victory are: Connecticut, feeleware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Mw Jersey, New York, North Dakntm Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhide Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. These atttes will give Harding 2JA votes,Iwifa elw^iiijL an ilege. The only states that were surely for Cox were: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisana, Missisippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. These states will give Cox 1116 votes in the electoral college. The states from which returns had not been received in sufficieent number to be decisive have 120 votes in the electorial college. GREAT MAGICIAN COMING The next Lyceum entertainment at the High School auditorium has been announced for Thursday Nov. 11 at 8 o'clock. DcJeu, the magician, will be the attraction.

More than 1,000 bales have been placed on the market at present prices. As the number of bales sold is less than half the number that had ( been disposed of at this time last year it is very evident that not all the farmers are selling all their cotton. In fact it has been estimated that for every bale sold a bale or more goes back home or to a warehouse. Following is the table of buyers and number of bales purchased up to 4 PM. Wednesday: John T.
