and tho sentiment is growing to ship
more. unless the facilities at Sumter
are improved and the buyers meet
the best prices OF other markets. Our
farmers have been very reluctant to
ship cotton. but when actual results
show net returns Of IA to 1 "a cents
better than Sumter prices. we are
forced to ship II away. much as we
hate to do SO. Heretofore we have
been told II was better grade Of cot
ton than we grow that was quoted
higher than Sumter. but when we
ship the Identical cotton and close
the sale on the same day. at IA to

cation that Sumter cotton merchants
are not as we'll prepared to handle
cotton as some others In nearby mar
kets. We hope that this will not be
the case any more. Z. w. d.
