"How Warehouse Helps"

The improved prices of cotton have
made the matter Of warehousing a mi
nor consideration. That is always the
case. So long as the range of prices
Is satisfactory the producers sell and
do not store. Meantime the warehouse
company is the loser. Its space Is va
can and its overhead charges go on.
The chances are that were present
conditions to obtain indefinitely, popu-
lar interest in the state warehouse
system would wane to the point Of dis
appearance.
This is, of course, not as 1t should
be. If the warehouse system Is highly
useful at n time, it ought to be
maintained at all times. To stabilize
prices and to insure safety in market
ing, the sale Of cotton should be dis
tributed through a period Of twelve
months and to do it is necessary that,
by warehouse companies, it be given
the character to which it's nature en-
titles it as security for loans in the
American money markets where rates
of interest are lowest.
Though cotton is fetching about ~
cents a pound now, no one can tell
whether the price will De Is, 10 or s
cents a pound in another 80 or 100
days. The warehouse should be to the
cotton farmer the trench in which he
digs himself and waits when the prices
of his product are pressed too low. If
the state warehouse system is good
for 6 cents cotton it is wise in a time
of ~ cents cotton that it's friends see
that it does not lose caste and fall
into decay.
When no cotton Is stored, tho pri-
vate warehouse loses money. So does
the state warehouse company. The
fix charges run on regardless Of own

BLACK LEG IN BETHEL

The dreaded black leg has again
made its appearance among cattle In
Bethel township. Mr.. ]. M. Miller OF
Yorkville No. 6, is the latest farmer
to lose cattle as a result Of he dis
ease, a calf belonging to him having
died Tuesday, while a cow on his place
IL sick with the dreaded disease.
Several weeks ago The Enquirer
printed a story about Messrs. j. E. and
T. E. Brandon losing cattle from
black leg. The ~arcasses Of the dead
cattle were cremated and a v%eterina-
rian who was called to the scene, vac
cinated a number Of cattle in that vi
entity. 1t was thought that the plague
was completely checked, but the re-
appearance of the disease among the
cattle of Mr.. Miller, who lives only a
few miles from the Messrs. Brandon,
disproves the theory.
DR.. r. H. Parker, a we'll known vet
erinarian of Gastoria, was In the
Bethel country Tuesday and Wednes-
day and v%accinated all Of MI. Miller's
cattle, as we'll as those Of most Of the
people in the immediate vicinity.
Several Bethel township farmers
have gotten into communication with
Farm Demonstration Agent John r.
Blair, with a view to having him bring
the state veterinarian from Clemson
college or one of his assistants, to
Bethel and look into the situation
thoroughly. 1t is probable that a vet
e~rinarian from Clemson will arrive on
the scene in a day OF 80.
When called owe the phone yester-
day afternoon, Mr.. Miller said that he
and his neighbors were not much
worried over the matter now, since
they had had their cattle vaccinated,

FRIDAY, OCTOBER I, 1915.

market permanently in advance OF the
exchange market. When the mer-
chant buyer completes his collections
he becomes a regular buyer, and e
the Independent Spectator feels n a
prices are at a standstill or the ten
dency Is downward, he Is liable to drop
out.
This somewhat unusual development
is credited to the Yorkviile market
this week. On Monday the regular
market IA slightly under IL cents
while 1t was IL cents at other places.
Quite a quantity Of cotton was bought
under IL cents during the day; but IN
the afternoon the market went up.
and at least n Of the buyers issued
additional checks to cover n diner
ence between the price at which he
had bought and the market. While
this was very well to the recipients OF
the checks It was hardly good busi-
ness or good buying, for II such q
rule were to obtain, when cotton went
off a half q cent on wednesday, II
would have been up to all the sellers
who had received IL cents during the
morning to refund to the buyer half
a cent q pound.
II is q fact that sometimes all the
buyers on a given market, especially
when there r no merchants Collect
ing and no activity among independ-
emit spectators, do agree on certain
limits beyond which they will not go,
and let the man who makes the hrst
bid get the cotton. That hns been
done to a greater or less extent all
over the state: but the arrangement
is seldom attempted near the opening
of the season and II never continues
a oraat while before IL begins to Occa-
sion much complaint.
During the greater par. Of the pres
ent season the price Of cotton has been
rather above than under the New
York market. The merchant-buyer
has been playing his part in this;
but a no less important factor has been
the American mills-especially the
nearby southern mills. The mills nave
been particularly anxious to get the
cotton, because Of a fear Of a rising
market, and in many cases they
have been paying at their doors every
cent that It would cost to bring the
cotton from neighboring markets.

Six Per Cent Money.

There is plenty Of six per cent mon
ey to be had for all the people who
desire to store their cotton n bor-
row thereon; but it will take a lot OF
educational work before the average
individual will come to understand the
exact meaning Of the situation.
The credit for giving the people OF
South Carolina six per cent money
rests to a very large extent with Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary McAdoo;
but to an equally large extent with
the state warehouse system.
1t was Secretary McAdoo who first
took a hand in the southern situation
by depositing millions Of treasury
money in southern banks for the pur-
pose of moving the crops" He did it
in 1918, again in 1914, and he is now
doing it again in 1915.
The principal effect of the 1913 move
was to break into the monopoly OF the
big New York and Chicago banks
which, up to that time had a monop-
Oly VI tHe pOWSI W lin Tic ldltS VI
discount, and through hat monopoly
they were able to limit the amount of
money that was available for moving
the southern crops, thus to a large ex-
tent, fixing the price at which those
crops must be sold.
The producer got very little direct
benefit from the big treasury deposits
of 1913. His principal benefit came
in an indirect way. 1t was only in
exceptional cases that he IA able to
borrow it; but because of it's abund-
ance other people were able to get
it with less difficulty. and the benefit
sifted down to the producer. Also
this abundance of money from the
treasury, which was as independent of
the New York banks as the country
correspondents of the New York banks
were willing to make it, helped in
moving the crops, and to that extent
helped the selling lrice.
The treasury money that was placed
at the disposal of southern banks last

Theodore H. Price, who continues a

Theodore H. Price, who continues a
leading figure in the cotton trade as
the same is conducted by the specula-
tive exchanges, seems inclined to look
at the situation from a somewhat
bearish viewpoint. He says that
against the alleged shortage in the
crop, (which may or may not exist"
there are certain d~iscouraging facts.
For thing one-half Of the Euro
pean market is cut off. and the buying
power of the other half is rapidly ap-
preaching exhaustion. He thinks that
England will give the Indian crop the
preference as far as possible, because
this can be done without increasing
the deb of the empire. Spectators,
he says, have to pay the equivalent Of
$12 a bale a year to keep from taking
cotton they buy for future delivery.
Exports for this season so far are only
400, 375 bales, against S17,4S0 bales at
the same time in the normal season Of
two years ago. And lastly, as the re-
suit Of the heavy premium that is be-
ing paid for distant futures the nor
NAL distribution of the crop has been
checked, and American manufacturers
instead of buying cotton are selling
their stocks. Mr.. Prices advice to
those who have cotton is to sell it, and
he recommends that prospective buy
ers delay their purchases as long as
1- l1-xe a.
discuss cotton with a man like Mr..
Price. The most we can say to his ar
guments is that he has frequently
made mistakes before; but at the same
time we quite agree that If the public
should attempt to act upon his advice
for sellers to rush forward and buy
ers to hold back" the price would GER
tainly go down, whether there is any
thing unfavorable to the facts he cites
or not.

year was generally unavailable to the
cotton producer for the eason that
there was no satisfactory means OF
converting his cotton into sufficiently
LIQUID security. There were independ-
ent warehouses to be sure. and in
many cases their receipts were all
right; but it was not the policy either
of the owners Of the warehouses or
the banks to encourage the loaning OF
to the cotton producer for the
purpose Of holding his crop.
But the state warehouse system has
changed all this by providing a re-
ceipt that is sufficiently liquid to make
it go anywhere, and in many cases the
banks have found it a wise policy to
treat the receipts Of independent ware
houses on practically the same basis
as the receipts Of the state ware
houses. There is no good ground,
however to dispute the fact that the
Of the Independent ware
houses owe the favor that they are
now receiving to the quality of the re-
ceipts Of the state warehouses
Then another thing about the state
warehouse receipt is that it has taken
away all the red tape, mystery, special
favor, I'll do it for you," etc.. here
tofore connected with a transaction In
independent warehouse receipts. 1t
requires no long record Of experience
in the banking business, established
reputation, approved business stand
ing or anything Of that kind to nego-
tate a state warehouse receipt. Such
a receipt may be negotiated by any
body Of sufficient responsibility to &C
complish the changing Of a twenty
dollar bill.
And the point Of it all is that the
state warehouse is responsible for the
6 per cent money. 1t was a big, broad,
liberal policy that induced the treas
ury department to deposit money In
the cotton states to help the farmers
move their cotton; but the treasury de-
partment could provide no acceptable
way for the distribution Of that mon
ey. The state warehouse system has
provided the way, and the beneficial
results are apparent everywhere.

Most Of the cotton that Is being sold
in this county is being taken by the
mills, which are preparing themselves
against an expected rise in the price.
Some sixty or more bales Of cotton
were stored in the state warehouse at
Bowling Green last Tuesday afternoon,
and the outlook Is that quite a quanti-
ty of the cotton made in the Bowling
Green neighborhood Is to be stored.
'Possum hunters say that there is
an unusually good crop this year; but
there has not been a great deal OF
hunting yet. "A large per cent of the
new crop is still in the kitten stage
and then most of the hunters would
rather wait for a heavy, fat n any
way.
The old story Of a short cotton crop
commonly heard at this season Of the
year, is so familiar that few people
pay much attention to it; but this veal
it Is different. There Is no bluff about
the short CROP talk. There are people
who think that they will not make
half as much cotton on the same land
an they made last year.. That Is prob
ably an exaggeration in most cases;
but that the crop Is short from Is te
rs per cent as compared with Thu
yields Of last year is reasonably Ger
tain.

There are few farmers in this county
who will fail to appreciate the full
truth Of what Senator McLaurin
says about the common practice OF
Withholding credit at the beginning OF
the cotton season and the extending OF
credit after the distress cotton has beer
marketed. Most people, too, who un-
derstand how things have been going
heretofore, know very we'll the reason
for the change in this old arrangement
