Will Be Straight Business

When the bottom dropped out of
the cotton market the management
OF the Leader-Enterprise decided
that this Christmas season would be
no time to ask business men to invest
III frills and furbelows of a fancy
christmas edition and began to.
work on plan for turning a pros
pectively dull business season into
period of aggressive business extern
sion.
The general facts of the project are
roughly explained in letters mailed
to about 100 business men last night
and this morning. The plan has met
approval from all who have been in
terviewed and pledges of co-opera-
ton from most of the merchants.
To carry into effect a long cher
ished plan to extend the trade terri
tory of Fitzgerald retail merchants.
the Leader Enterprise will forego
this year the publication of Holiday
Edition and issue instead a series Of
trade making issues, beginning Dec
ember LIST, which will reach practical
ly every auto owner within thirty
miles of the city.
Thousands of dollars find their way
to mail order houses and other thou
sands to the larger cities in our own
state. Fitzgerald mercantile estab-
lishments are iilled with the seasons
best offerings in every line, and to
these we hope 10 attract the bar

Expect Raise Half Million in
First Effort of City-Rural
Cooperation

GREENVILLE, S. C. Nov To-
Farmers are seeking loans from the
Merchants Cotton company, If
Greenville, which opened here Mon
day to lend money on cotton from a
pool of 100000 raised by local mer-
chants to help tide the farmers of
the county over the present strin-
gency. The pool, which was in
creased from 100000, the original
mark, promises to reach half a mil
lion dollars this week, if found
necessary. Offices established in
the central part of the city were
crowded with anxious farmers, who
put up their warehouse receipts as
collateral and borrowed the equiva-
lent of II cents per pound on the
cotton. The market price was 18 :
cents. Interest is at the rate of
per cent for term of six months.
No individual loans will be made
on more than twenty ba :; of cotton.
Merchants in supporting this local
enterprise, the first of its kind in
the south, said it was to their in
terest to advance money to the farm
ers, as it will serve to put money in
circulation and stimulate trading,
which has been virtually at a stand
still the past month Farmers, elated
over the proposition, said it is a
measure that enables them to hold
their cotton and at the same time
realize money to buy clothing and
food for the winter and to satisfy
pressing obligations.
