How It Is, in answer to 'Why is 1t
Thus? 10

Mr.. Editor.--In your last number ofthe jour
nal, l noticed on article headed 'Why is ii thus
and why is there such difference between
Camden and Charleston in cotton weights. For
example difference of one hundred pounds loss
on lot of fourteen bales of cotton between
Charleston and this place. do not doubt the
Public Weigher of Charleston, nor do doubt the
honesty of our Cotton Merchants in their weights,
for are not their scales tested by our Town In
spector of weights and measures, who is also
sworn to do his duty? No, sir, the fault is not
with our Merchants, neither does it rest with
the public weigher of Charleston. The blame
rests with the Cotton Packer. l have been in
formed by reliable parties that some packers use
water to sprinkle their cotton to make it
pack easy-indccd have seen it done myself.
Now, sir, there is Mt least gallon Of water used
on every bale (sometimes more.) In a lot of
fourteen bales we would have fourteen gallons of
water. One gallon of watcr would weigh soy
nine pounds, we would have one hundred and
and twenty six pounds in tho lot Of fourteen
bales.
Now, this cotton is hauled to Camden and sold
before tho water has time to evaporate, and o
bale of cotton will weigh, say four hundred
and fourteen pounds. Now, perhaps this cotton
is kept in o warm store where the air can strike
into It, and then it is hauled to the depot in the
hot sun, will then lay out on the depot platform
until it is ready for the cars; it is then put up
in airy box cars, takes some time to get to
Charleston; when it does arrive, it may lie
there day or two before it can be drayed
to the purchaser. 1t is then hauled through
dozen streets, and then landed ut the pub
lie scales. During all this period, our four
teen pounds of water has evaporated, together
with any other dampness there may be about tine
cotton. Now, can any marvel at loss of one
hundred and twenty pounds on a lot of fourteen
bales of cotton, when there is one hundred and
twenty eight pounds of sprinklcd water in the
let, and perhaps, few pounds Of other damp
ness ? Our city friends can do nothing
in this matter. The matter lies with the cotton
packer Let him discontinue the temperance ap-
phcation,, and you will find the antidotc certain
and the remedy sure. Our merchants say that
they have no objection to tho cotton packers
using water in packing their cotton, provided

Short Weights in Cotton.

We publish this week, a letter from cor
respondent, saying that the short weights OF
cotton between here and the City ofCharles-
ton are owing to wetting of the staple by
the packers. Of the truth of this: we cannot
say, though We do not at all mean to call into
question the statement of our correspondents
The following article from the NeVs, OF
Tuesday, gives still another phase to the
matter. We publish the article, and cotton
buyers should govern themselves according
". 1t has been customary in tins place, TO
deduct only two pounds from each bale'
but if the Charleston merchants are correct,
and it be no Unusual circumstance that a
difference of nine pounds exists between the
weights here and there, then it would seem
to be nothing but proper and right, that the
deduction should be greater, The follow
ing is the article referred to:
The Camden Journal, of last week, gives
EXPRESSION to what it terms universal COM
plaint among the country merchants Of the
shrinkage in the weight of their cotton when
sent to Charleston for sale, and cites the case
ofone lot of fourteen bales, in which the
difference between the recorded weight IN
Camden and the returns of the sworn weigh
ers in Charleston, amount to one hundred
and twenty pounds. Unfortunately, how
over the ANNOYANCE of which our Camden
friends complain is the result Of simple law
of nature. which is quite AZ much beyond
the control of the Chare&ton factor as OF the
Camden shipper. The cotton men Of Char
lesion all agree that a depreciation in the
weight Of cotton between those two points,
averaging less than nine pounds per bale, is
by no means an unusual occurrence. The
effect of a dry, hot sun upon bale ofcotton,
which had become slightly dampened over
night, would, they say, cause in single day
fully as much depreciation as is complained
of. and difference of five or six pounds
between two weighings, within few hours
of each other, is very common. The best
possible proof, however, that mistakes can
not pass uncorrected, is that every bale OF
cotton received in Charleston is weighed by
sworn wcighers twice during its stay in this
city-once when received on the wharf, and
once when it is sold Or shipped. Any re-
markablc disparity between these two weigh
ings would at once be seen and rectifed,
and thus it is next to impossible that bale
should pass through Charleston without get
ting its due weight.
