BUILDING
 CAMPAIGN IS UNDERWAY
South Carolina Farmers Using the Arkansas Plan for Building
 Cotton Warehouses.

Little Rock, June 22.-(SpeciaD =
 The warehouse building campaign of the American Cotton Association is we'll advanced in South Carolina, un- Now and then a country exchange
 comes to our desk full of complaints 1 by the editor for one thing or an- other. It doesn't pay. High prices of paper and scarcity are hard, but
 fretting doesn't help. Get your busi- ness on a business basis and can the gloom, Being human you may be stung to the quick for lack of ap-
 preciation. You have got to remember
 that the other fellow is human, and that there are all sorts and varieties of humans. You may boost your head off and throw boquets until your arm lis sore, and the silence that greets your ears must be construed as approval It may be that the last one heaved is not big enough to please the reciprocant or maybe, being just human, you over looked one bet and failed to heave any at all and thereby get called small
 potato in big hill Charge it up and strike a general average and you will Kind that your lot averaged pretty good after all. Keep on tossing the boquets and scattering the sunshine, standing
 for better things, seeing as many of the good things and few of the bad And if after all you find that you are in the wrong pew, why change pews. Keep your private grouches and pri- vate fights out of your editorial col umn. If it's public fight, we'll and good, hit straight from the shoulder fine public does not care to hear our troubles, iii fact it is not interested in them at all.
 der the directlcr of the State Division of the Association, according to D. c. Welty, general manager of the Ark ansas Division, who recently returned from a meeting of the national Exc cutiye Committee in Atlanta, Ga,, and
 South Carolina, followed va trip Of inspection through the eastern states of the cotton belt
 More than 30 warehouses are built or are under construction in the state,
 MT. Welty says, and they will have a
 combined capacity sufficient to store 97 per cent of the total crop of cotton in South Carolina this fail In additr ion to the new warehouse facilities, l South Carolina planters will have the benefit of the services of licensed grad
 95 per cent of the state crop this year
 will be graded and chased by experts. | The crop will be Warehoused under
 the Arkansas Plan which was eX-
 plained to the Atlanta convention by
 MT. Welty and J. R. Alexander of Scott, it's originators, and which found
 instant favor because of it's evident ad-
 vantages both to growers and buyers
 of the staple, Under this plan, two
 samples are taken from each bale plac-
 ed in the warehouse; one is retailed at ] the warehouse office and the other is
 kept for reference at state headquart-
 CTS Of the Association. The samples at | headquarters are arranged by classes,
 and carry tags, showing from what
 bale they came. Thus, the buyer can supply his needs by simply visiting state headQuarters and looking ever the samples on dispiay. He can then
 write or wire his bid to the owners of
 as many bales Of each class as he de- sires, and the owner will if he finds
 the price suitable, withdraw his cotton from storage and lhip it.
 The buyer is safe in buying in this manner because he knows that the cot ton has been properly protected i: the Association warehouse, and he had the
 great advantage of being able to fill his
 entire need without visiting many
 growers in all parts of the state. The system, at the same time, presents an
 advantage to even the smallest grower, because he thus is given an oppor- tunity to secure bids from even the
 biggest buyers.
