EXPORT CORPORATIONS
NOT OPPOSED

Columbia, Nov. 1.-When it was
announced from Washington a few
days ago that Robert F. Maddox, of
Atlanta, Ga, was interesting himself
to form twelve million dollar cor
poration to assist in exporting South
ern products, there was lot of specu-
lation as to what effect, if any, such
an organization would have upon the
effort to organize the American Pro-
ducts Export and Import Corpora
ton, Richard l. 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 es-
sential details. This proves to be the
fact, from letter received by Gov
ernor Manning from Mr.. Maddox,
who is president of the Atlanta Nat
ional Bank.
Governor Manning had assurances
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
ing 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 tue on
ly one which can handle cotton or
other commodities:
Dear Governor:
l beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of the 25th instant and as
sure you that the proposed export fl
nance corporation under the Edge
Act is not intended in any way to
conflict with the purpose of the AM
erican 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.
While the Southern delgates to the
convention of the American Bankers
Association at Washington unani-
mously approved the plan to organize
corporation under the Edge Act,
the matter is still pending and moth
ing further has been done. An or
ganiZation committee was appointed
which will probably meet next week
IN New Orleans to consider the ques-
ton.
| am in full sympathy with your
efforts and hope you will succeed in
organizing your company and be-
lieve if the finance corporation is or
ganized the two will work harmoni-
ou5ly together and be of mutual bene-
fit
Yours very trrly,
(s) Robt. S. Maddox

NOT ALL COTTON
ON THE MARKET

Over $500 bales of cotton have
been sold on the Chesterfield market
to date.
More than 900 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 cot
ton. In fact it has been estimated
that for every bale sold bale or
more goes back home or to a ware
house.
Following is the table of buyers
and number of bales purchased up to
p M Wednesday.

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 big
gest and best yet, just as the each
preceding one has been better than
the one before. The prizs have stimu-
lated the interest of the exhibitor, so
that the exhibits will therefore be on
higher plane than ever before.
All preliminary arrangements for
the transportation of the Krause
Shows have been made. This big aggre-
CATION will arrive on a special train of
twenty cars and will be taken in sec
tions of five or six cars to a convent
ent spot opposite the fair grounds
and unloaded.
The shows will come in Monday or
Sunday as it will require 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 Dellamead 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 high order.
In fact it was the intention of the
Fair Association when arranging the
program for this years fair to make
the attractions SO numerous that sew
eral visits would be necessary in or
der to take in the entire array of en-
tertainment that would be provided.
The landing field has been worked
over and surfaced and is in fine con-
dition for Aviator Merrill when he ar
rives in his big army plane. There
has been a good deal of speculation
as to who will be the first to take
flight with Mr.. Merrill. All possibility
of 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 hap
pened last year.

This Is due to two reasons. first
the new war taxes which affect the

IN an cssort to pay off her war en-
debtedness, France has just clapped
a bunch Of new taxes on the theatres
mus C halls aud movies Coupled
with The taxes they were already
paying, the theatre directors at last
declared that they are already per-
manently out of business
To keep from starving however,
they viii turn their theatres into
dancing establishments with the dan
SAINTS and with balls in the evening.
Taxes now imposed on theatres,
especially of the revue type with
which Paris abounds now total thir-
ty5five per cent Of their gross re-
ceipts. They are divided up as fol
lows. Ten per cent for the poor
which has been a tax long establish
ed at Paris; ten per cent royalty to
the authors and then the new war
tax Of fifteen per cent.
The cost of all sorts of produc-
tions whether purely dramatic OF

producers in reducing the cost of pro

OF reducing an the rest of theil

AS 4 consequence they announce
their intentions here utter Of catering
merely to the dancing craze until
some other means has been found
for paying off the war debt
The movies are taxed on some

their ten per cent for the poor and
few other odds and ends OF taxes
their new war tax consists Of %
per cent on all monthly receipts he
tween $4,000 and $4,000 francs. On

ShOlO Increase in

That there has been a very materi-
al increase in the volume of employ
ment and relative increases in pay
rolls in approximately 80 per cent of
the representative industries of the
United States during the past year is
borne out by statistics recently com
piled by the United States depart
