rection the raid was made by fed
eral internal revenue agents and de-
teotives acting together. After sew
eral weeks of watchful waiting the

SO last week of quantity OF marco
tics by a federal agent from a street
peddier.

being refused admission TO the tene.
ment tonight, broke down the door
and a search revealed the drugs hid
den in secluded places. There also
were found, the police said. an apothe
cary's scales and a Chinese scales of
delicate adjustment. In canvas

ORGANIZING COTTON
EXPORT CORPORATION

A meeting will be held at the Court
House next Saturday afternoon, Oc-
tober 9, in the interest of the Ameri-
can Product Export and Import Cor
poration. This organization, which is
an outgrowth of the American Cotton
Association, has been gotten together
for the purpose of exporting cotton
directly to the manufacturers in Eng
land and other foreign countries.
Mr.. r. b. Laney, county chairman
of the Cotton Association, has issued
the following call to Chesterfield
County farmers and all others inter
estcd in the welfare of the county and
the State:
AN Export Cotton Meeting will be
held at the Chesterfield Court House.
Saturday afternoon, Octc Der 9, at 3
o'clock. Come and lean about
sending cotton to Europe"
The success of this organization is
largely due to the efforts of Senator
N. B. Dial, who has devoted most of
his time for the last two months to in
teresting South Carolina farmers and
business men in the business of ex-
porting cotton direct to the foreign
mills. Senator Dial is of the opinion
that this is one of the sure ways of
bringing the price of cotton back to
where it belongs.
With Mr.. Laney there viii! be sever
al speakers at Saturdays meeting
who will explain the details and work
ing plans of the corporation.

cording to the farmers the price of
fered at this time is far below the
cost of production and all who need
the help of the banks to hold their
crop for higher price will take ad-
vantage of the offer, and will ware
house the cotton until the price inn

in the county will be marketed now
