ABBEvILLE's BIG COTTON WAREHOUSE.


Our people have at last arrived at the con-
clusion that to be in the line OF progress, they
too must build q warehouse.
Other neighboring towns have tried the en-.
terprise and IT not only proved q great sue
cess. but a blessing to the people at large and
especially TO the farmers.
Our bankers, merchants and farmers SHOULD
all rejoice IN this progressive move for the
welfare and upbuilding OF the trade OF our
city, as by 1t hundreds Of dollars that now 60
to neighborlng towns lin cotton) will be kept
at home. By the use of the warehouse the
farmer can store his cotton. draw money from
our banks on the warehouse receipt, pay his
merchant, and hold his cotton as long as he
pleases. These are some Of the benefits TO be
derived from the building OF q warehouse.
We are glad to state that when we first saw
the subscription list only four had put down
their names, but in these four about third
of the capital stock had been subscribed.
The insurance, interest and storage will be
the expense attached. and II is said the gain In
weight between being out OF doors and In the
warehouse will almost pay these expenses.
