BIG MEETING
OF FARMERS
Agent Rowell and Chairman Nickles
: Ask People to Attend Meeting
to Discuss Export Corpora
tion-Seconded By Cham
ber of Commerce

Abbeville Court House on next Mon
day, Nov. 18th at II o'clock. THE
object of this meeting is educational,
that is, the speaker will endeavor to
explain what The American Products
Export and Import corporation is,
how organized, what it will do, how
cotton will be bought, where the pro-
fits derived from such an organiza-
ton will 60, and the absolute neces-
sity Of such an organization.
The primary object of this organi-
cation is to export our depressed cot
ton to the European Countries. Until
we can open up channels whereby we
| ca nexport or ship cotton into foreign
markets, see no chance for better
prices. The European countries are
| our greatest consumers of American
cotton. Their spinners are now ready
to begin operation, but they have no
cotton. We propose to ship them cot
ton and let them start up right away.
The American Products Exports
and Import corporation is being or
ganized entirely by Southern farm
ers and business men for your bene-
fit. We have been going to the other
fellow and begging for help for the
past so years to no avail, and it is
now time for US to help ourselves,
and we will have to help ourselves If
we ever get help. Already a million
and a quarter of dollars worth of
stock have been raised by more than
5000 subscribers. A charter will be
taken out this week and it is believ-
ed that business will commence right
Iaway. Anderson County has already
raised nearly 100000 and will raise
more. Other counties are doing their
part, why can't Abbeville County do
her part?
The speaker at this meeting will
be Mr.. S. M. Byars, of Anderson.
We urge every farmer in Abbeyille
County and every business man to
attend this meeting next Monday,
November 18th, at II o'clock. Every
body should rally to this great cause.
Be on time as meeting will begin
promptly at eleven o'clock.

pecially asked to be present to act
