Prosperous Enterprise.

The AbbeVille warehouse, while q benefac-
ton TO the owners Of cotton, is also a good In.
vestment for the stockholders in that enter
prise. 1t ia a pleasure to know that our
planters are learning the advantages Of an
institution OF this kind. The dullest of their
number seem to have learned that storing
cotton under an oak tree Is expensive
economy. They have also learned that the
shrinkage in weight when stored under a
woodshed, or In a boarded ~woodhouse, incurs
a loss in weight greater than the cost OF put.
ting their cotton in q warehouse where the
weights are maintained. While g majority
Of our cotton planters may not need the mon.
ey which their cotton would bring, yet II lie
true that quite q number OF them desire ad-
vances on the cotton which they may for any
reason, desire TO hold. In q warehouse the
cotton is insured against fire, inc money can
be had on q receipt issued by q warehouse.
AS long as cotton is stored under an oak
tree 1t Is more difficult to borrow money Oh
1t. And then the trouble of turning 1t over
after every rain Is to be considered. II 1t is
not SO turned the blued staple will all be on

But we have depressed. We started out I'd
talk OF the Abbeville warehouse and It's Won
derful success. We learn that the annual
meeting OF the stockholders Of this institu.
ton occurred last week, and we are told that
the report of its workings was most satisfac.
tory to all concerned. AS we understand
A dividend Of ten per cent. was declared, and
the salary OF the manager was raised. This

put up q year ago. All debts have been set.
tied, leaving an undivided balance OF $500 in
the treasury.
The original stock, $1,000. bought the LOT,
finished one division n half finished
another. Since the warehouse has been in
business the unfinished division has been
completed, and the new division has been
paid for out Of the earnings, with a $500
balance in the treasury.
This success beats the record of any institu-
ton in this part of the country.
The business which has been accorded to
this warehouse shows the trend of.public
sentiment in the matter OF storing cotton,
and Is 30 assuring that the stockholders have
directed the officers TO build another ware
house to meet next fall the possible increas-
ed demand for storage room.
The usefulness Of the warehouse is
acknowledged by all. and the possible In.
crease OF future business is anticipated by the
order 10 increase the facilities.

Report Their Findings to the New
York Agents.
Special to The State.
Charleston, June 2.-B. Wilentshik
and G. Weintroab, the representatives
of theRussian Jewish societies, who
arrived here yesterday from New York
with State Commissioner Watson,
spent today making inquiries about
lands in this vicinity, with a view of
bringing out agricultural colonies.
Several cities in the suburbs were visit
ed. They left here this afternoon for
|Summerville, where they will inspect
some land, continuing their passage
tomorrow to Columbia again joining
Col. Watson, who is to show them some
tracts in the upper part of the State.
Messrs. Wi1entshik and Weintroab
will return to Charleston about the
middle of next week, to sail for New
York, where they will make a report
on the result of their Investigations.
On their return to Charleston, Mr..
Montague Triest of the Hebrew. society
which has been in correspondence with
the New York societies with a view of
settling some of the people who have
fled from northern Russia to this
country, in this section, will have fur
ther Information for them, and per-
haps sufficient inducements will be
held forth to the Russians to make their
home in South Carolina.
The immigrants desire Ian IDIOTS of
500 acres, which they would like to pur-
chase at about $40 an acre. While there
is plenty of land in this immediate
!section, especially in the areas recently
drained and reclaimed for agriculture.
their owners will not sell it for anything
like the price stated, and this fact hand
leaps the Charleston promoters in their
efforts to induce the flow ofimmigrat-
ion in. this direction.
1t is understood that there are ten
families now waiting on the represen-
tatives to make their reports, who
stand ready to sail Immediately for
ISonth Carolina and settle in this state,
this contingent to be followed by others
soon after.
Col. Watson reports the office which he
opened in New York city to be doing a
good work in the scheme of the promo
ton of immigration to South Carolina.

The man with an idea has ever

OF the great superiority OF others who

As rule no good comes from criu-

but the man who can accept his own
honest estimate OF himself and resolve
to profit by it has achieved something.
