Farmers Warehouse.

Leading farmers In all parts OF the cotton
belt have been urging the building OF ware
houses at all the central places in which to
store cotton. There has been some talk OF
building a new warehouse at Abbeville, and
1t seems probable that our people may organ
lie q second company and subscribe for the
required amount of stock. 1t has b en- said
that since the erection of elevators in the
west for the storing of corn. the price OIL
corn has been more equal throughout the
year.
By putting grain in elevators the corn
farmers can take their receipts TO the banks
and draw money on 1t. This keeps the corn
out o fmarket until there is q demand for 1t
at q fair price. II the rule works well for the
corn planters. why may 1t not work well for
the cotton planters? Let the facts be as they
may, there seems 10 be a general disposition
to store cotton, and this disposition creates q
demand for more ware house room which will
likely be supplied.
The Southern a few days ago sent one OF
their men to Investigate the lay OF the land
about the Abbeville depot, and to be inform
ed as to the prospects OF a new warehouse.
The gentleman who came reported the To-
cation q good one, and he said that he would
recommend that the company furnish all
needed sidetrack for q new warehouse.
With q good lot and track accommodation,
It would seem that Nothing shall stand In
the way of furnishing additional warehouse
accommodations.

ing chance againstS S. NJ. Millikin. the selling
agent, who desires to GUST Mr.. Lucas.
We believe the facts are about In this way
S. Nj. Millikin is the selling agent for the
product OF the Mil.
Mr.. Lucas Is the President of the Laurens
mill. Lucas objected to paying Millikin foul
per cent. when Stevenson would do the sam
service for two per cent.
Milllkin and Lucas speed to settle thell
differences by Lucas paying all indebtedness
and paying Millikin $3.50 a share for 500 shares
Of the stock of the Laurens mill.
Lucas paid the Indebtedness Of the Orange
burg mill. and made arrangements to pay
for Millikin's stock.
Instead OF sending his stock to a G%reenvillt
bank to receive payment, Milliklp buy
other stock until he has a majority of thu
stock, and comes to Laurens to gobble up the
mill.
Lucas served an Injunction issued by
Junge Klugh restraining him from voting
the stock which he had agreed 10 sell.
Millikin left the meeting, and 1t is known
how matters may finally end.
Lucas Is one Of the most successful mil
men In the State. and his only offence t
Millikin rested In his fidelity to the interest,"
Of the stock holders, and opposition TO hi
excessive charges.

Acreage.

There has been much discussion as TO thu
reduction OF the cotton acreage, with varying
opinions. At this writing, the acreage O
grass is receiving the energetic. If not the
prayerful attention OF cotton planters. 1t IL
admitted that we made a bum per crop of cot
ton last year. Unless Indications are disap
pointing, We will have a bumper crop of hay
next fall. The fact is. the western hay raiser
may have to take up a hat collection flour
fiattering prospect for a hay crop is realized.
1t is said that labor annot be had to Kill
the grass now in the cotton and 1t is barely
possible that cotton farmers may have to &c
to work themselves, or else incur the expense
OF buying hay rakes before the next frost
falls.

Pickens Votes out the I,i,penSary.

Last Saturday the people of Plckens County
voted out the d~ispensary. &C.,
The combination, as we understand, which
brought about the result, was between tn,
liquor element and the prohibitionists.
If the action fthe people shall bring pro.
hibition, temperance people everywhere vii
rejoice at the result.
Abbeville has the dispensary, u If We
have amongst as anybody who would inter
fere with it, we are not in formed as to whom
1t may be.
Personally 1t is a matter of small concern &c
us, whether we have whisl1ey or prohibition
but in the Interest and welfare OF the peo-
pie, we would love to see the whiskey busl.
ness crippled as much as possible.
