FAIR NEXT WEEK
ARRANGEMENTS ALL MADE FOR
BIGGEST EXHIBITION YET
Many Frae 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
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.

WOMEN VOTE IN ALL
PARTS OF THE COUNTY
While the vote cast 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 was generally
expected. It is estimated that

| 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

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.

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.

kinds of good things for the little
ones. The witch with her inevitable
broom stirred her pot and brougnt
forth strange fortunes. Blue-Beard's;

NOT ALL COTTON
ON THE MARKET
Over 2,500 bales of cotton have
been sold on the Chesterfield market
to date.
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. Hurst. 1,214.
Farmers' Mercantile Co 342.
Redfearn-Rivers Co 323.
Lineberger, Lore & Co 342.
J. H Rivers 168.
Hursey Bros. Co. v. . . . 113.
Total 2,572.
Prices have varied considerably
during the past two weeks, but strict
middling short staple has averaged
slightly better than 20 cents. The
highest point being 22 Vfe cents one
day last week. Wednesday highest
price was 21.90. Seed remains stationary
at 40 cents.
Included in the above figures are over
400 bales of long staple which averaged
about 30 cents.
