COTTON GRADER ABBEvILLE
COUNTY ARRIVES IN CITY
,o,.ae To This County Well Equip
ped For Duty Having Had Twen-
ty-Six Years Experience In
The Cotton Business

Mr.. L. w. Tut, of Mccormick
has been appointed as official cotton
grader for Abbeville County. Mr.
Tut comes we'll equipped for his
new duty, having had twenty-siS
years experience in the cotton busl'
ness. He was once employed by the
IU. S. Department of Agriculture at
Washington, has classed export cot
ton at Savannah, and for the past
tx wears has ben in the cotton bust
ness in Mccormick. We feel that IN
the person of Mr.. Tutt we have a
man who knows the business OF
chasing and stapling cotton thor
oughly and one who will render the
farmers of Abbeville County an
efficient and impartial service.
The primary object in locating an
official cotton grader in Abbeville
County is for the purpose of in
orming the farmers as to the actual
rade and staple of his cotton in
rder that he might sell same intelli-
gently. We feel that the farmer is
entitled to the same information as
to what he offers for sale as the
man who buys it, and we recognize
the fact that in the majority of
cases the farmer is ignorant as to
he grade and staple of his cotton.
seems best anyway to have a dis
interested party to- grade cotton for
the farmers because it removes any
possibility of suspicion on the part
of the farmer as to the buyer fail
ing to properly grade and staple his
cotton, and for this reason we feel
that the cotton buyers should vel
come he service of an efficient and
impartial cotton grader.
Mr.. Tut is here for the purpose
of rendering to the farmers of Alb
beville County efficient, impartial
and real service and we want all of
them to feel free to use him at any
time. But as to the amount of SER
vice Mr.. Tut renders to the farmers
will depend largely upon the far
mers themselves, they must feel
free to meet him half way and give
him the opportunity. There will be a
fee of 35 cents charged for the
grading and stapling of every bale
of cotton and all the farmer has to
do is to get sample from both
sides of the bale and bring it to the
office of the cotton grader. The
money collected for the grading of
cotton and all samples that will be
sold will go on the salary and ex-
penses Of the cotton grader
