Export Concern
Get Payments
Fifty Per Cent. Subscription
Already Received

= Columbia Nov. 26.--"Will the Cot
ton Export corporation accept a bl.c
Of cotton for an increased amount OF
stock in liep Of $50 cash subscrip-
attons?" This question was put at the
bankers meeting yesterday by Chas. L.
Cobb. manager of the Peoples Ma
tonal bank of Rock Hill and a 'iirec-
torysin the export corporation =, Ex-
Governor X. !. Manning. to whom the
inquiry was directed, stated that the
corporation would be very glad 10
have settlement OF that kind.
This will serve q double purpose
he said. The farmer will get a larE6r
amount OF stock. He could borrow
only about $50 on the bale at the
bank. but by putting in his bale Of
cotton for stock, he would get ap-
proxhmately 500 worth Of stock for
the bale. At the suggestion Of Mr..
Cob, Governor Manning is urging
this fact upon all stockholders in the
state. BY sending the bale Of cotton
TO the export corporation in Coluna
bia. the stockholder will not only
aid the corporation in it's effort t.
raise ali the capitalization it can and
holders also will be benefited to the
extent OF increased amount of stock.
A large number OF the bankers
who were here Thursday assured
Governor Manning that they were
better informed upon the plans and
objects Of the exports corporation,
and they will advocate their banks
subscribing largely to the capital
stock of the corporation, following
the action of the Union banks which
recently took $1,000 for each bank
in that city.
IL. l.. Hollowell, the new treasurer
has taken over the duties of his of
fee. He said last night that about
90 per cent of the subscribers had
sent in checks or bills of iading for
their cotton. He is much pleased
with the progress in this direction but
reminds the subscribers that Novem-
Der 27 Is the last day under the
present price arrangement under
which the corporation will accept
cotton or Liberty bonds. He does
not know what change if any the
corporation will make in prices here
after, and advises the farmers to
send in their cotton before the end
of this week to take advantage in
their favor OF the favorable price at
which the corporation will take the
cotton off of their hands.
Mr. Hollowell until recently has
been head OF the cotton firm OF Hol-
lowell e. Walker and before that was
president OF group of cotton mills,
the Palmetto in Columbia, Valley
Falls in Spartanburg, the SAKE G otha
I'm Lexington and others. He has had
a long and varied connection with
cotton handling.
