Company to Finance Cotton.

With South Carolina already over
the top, subscribing its quota of
stock based on $3.50 per bale of cot
ton, the campaign of the American
Products Export and Import Cor
poration are now in this state, en-
listing support to this great South
wide cooperative movement. The
export company is endorsed by Gov
ernor Thos. w. Beckett OF North Car
DINA; Governor Harding of the Fed
eral Reserve Board; the American
Cotton Association; Governor Well
born of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Atlanta; and other prominent
Southern organizations and individ-
uals.
The endeavors of the American
Products Export and Import Cor
poration to remedy marketing con
ditions in the South seem on the
high road to success. Fundamental
ly, this export corporation is based
on the simple law of supply and de,
mand. Everywhere in the South
there is an over-abundanCe of cot
ton, tobacco, peanuts, rice, etc, max
ing for consequent low prices, The
Export Corporation aims to relieve
the strain on the domestic market
by re-opcning the old European
trade channels.
In the past, the Southern States
have depended upon foreign capital
to finance the exporting of theil
principal products. Today such aid
Is not available. The European
countries, in an impoverished state
since the war, are not in a position
to pay cash for the products they
so badly need from our shores. II
was imperative that some machin.
cry be set up to buy products from
our Southern farmers, ship them to
Europe and sell them there, accept
ing in return either secured credits
or such products as dyes, potash
etc, needed over here.
To meet exactly such a condition
the American Products Export and
Import Corporation was organized
this fall with a capitalization OF
$10,000,0OO
Subscriptions for the capital
stock of the Eport Company will be
received in cash or cotton or Liberty
Bonds at the market pxrice. The
company's main Office is in Column
bia, South Carolina.
AS can be seen elsewhere in this
issues of The Post Dispatch, a mass
meeting of the farmers and business
men of Richmond county is called
to be held at Ellerbe on Saturday,
January 22nd, at II O'clock, and at
Rockingham the same day at
O'Clock; and this proposition will
then be explained to our people.

as that plan and backed his arguments
forcbily witli logic. reason and the
Scriptures. In part he said that no
church could expect to pros per and
maintain the respect )f the thinking
people if it had no OF, even a poor
financial system. The church should
be put on as substantial financial
basis as any other institution that
wishes to command and hold the re-
spec Of the bushes men. The term
begging for the church" he declared
to be 4 missioner. "If all would paw
tithes Of their possessions" he said,
there would be money in the treas
ury for all Christian purposes" The
grip OF his message upon the audience
was n,aterialized in many signing the
pledge cards promising to henceforth
become "tithers." The afternoon SER
vice in the opera house for men only
was well attended. The message was
timely and elevating. Rev. Calls said
that no where had he spoken to more
interesting and attentive audience.
The evening message at the church
climaxed the days program. Monday

more or less cared for, but the books
became scattered and lost without a
regular custodian, and the few re-

wards used for primary school room,
and then sold and made into private
residence, and is now located on First
