of The Wateree Messenger Of Oct
4th You. viii see notice signed
by Messrs Springs & Shannon.
j l.. Halle for Alexander Sprunt
and j. b. Steedman for Knoop Il
Frei ichs ~ Co., to farmers that
after Oct. Goth they will receive
no cotton with more than six
yards of bagsing and ties AMI any
addition of hagging or ties will be
docked 2 pounds for yard or un.
As n farmer | desire to call les3ec-
ia' attention to this notice TT G
accepted weight of cotton is ahou:
500 ponnds per bale; the custc-
mary tarc on cotton haled for
market fixed by foreign markets
is 6 per cent. The Liverpool
Cotton Exchange, the amsterdam
Cotton Brokers' Association, and
the Bremen Cotton Exchange ad-
nit that this tare allowance is
correct. Now this will allow as
taro for an American Uale o! cot
ton 80 pounds. Six yards of
hagging weighs y pound, when
the usual brands Of bagging arc
used The Farmers and The
Standard weighing Il to 2 pounds
per yard aud six ties weigh 8 lbs
making 81 pounds actual weight.
Thus it will be seen that the cot
ton exchanges claim and fix the
price to cover 80 pounds tare
when in reality only 81 pounds
actual weight CT bageing and ties
Is put on, when 6 yards of bagglpg
and 6 ties are used and besides
The bagglng is resold to the farm
e.5 fo: ahont , the price of new
bag ging, and the ties are spliced
and sold for little less than new
ties. Thus you will see that the
cotton exchanges and the cotton
manufacturers arc actually robbing
the farmers Of 9 pounds of cotton
besides getting back i OF the orig
inal cosC of uhe bagging aud ties.
Now | contend that 6 yards of
hagging will not sufficiently cover
a bale of cation &c yards cover
the top and bottom while the sides
are left entirely uncovered. And
l w0uld not advocate neither
would | advise the farmers TO use
any surplus bagging in covering
their cotton, but ] do earnestly
advocate the use IF a sufficient
quantity of bagging TO completely
cover The bale which is absolutely
necessary for the protection of the
cotton against exposure to dirt
and trash, and for the diminution,
Iessening the danger by fire. For
such complete covering 1t will
lake at least 8 yards of bag ging,
which, with the six ties weigh %
pounds, being 3 pounds less than
Foreign cotton exchanges deduct
for tare.
Bat there is another phase Of
this question to which l wish to
call your earnest attention. 1t is
this: What right have tho cotton
buy ers, cotton exchanges and cot
ton manufacturers to dictate to
the farmers how we shall wrap
our cotton? We would not and
40 not dictate to them in an form
how they mast wrap their parcels.
And L most earnestly advise the
farmers not To be dictated to in
this matter.
The cotton world fixes the price
that we must take, the mel chants
ix the price that we uust give,
and now comes the cotton buyers
1ictating how we must wrap our
cotton to suit them, adding the
