Williams store tary. We find on investigation tha there are waro bauso facilities a Lancaster, Heath Springs an Kershaw, sufficient to taite ear of all cotton that lias bee olio red for storage up to t hi time and at lowest prevuilin rate;*, and wo understand frot the parties who control thee ware houses vliut they are pri pared to enlarge tln m to mo< any increased demands, at th same tiino tho field is open t otlic r merchants, ban iters or fa mors to build additional wai houses at these poiuts, shoul they deem it profitable or necei eury. This applies to the eeuti and lower part of the county. We understand that there at no ware house facilities at Osci ola, Vau Wyck or Waxhavt which aro tributary to tho uppt portion or Panhaudlo of thi* county. We would recommen that the farmors of this sectio urge upon tho merchants th importanco of building a wai house to tako care of their cotto and is3uo recoipts on same. I case luey cuuuoi prevail on in merchants to build ware house that they co operate with eac other at these points meutione and build ware houses sufticier to 500 to 1,000 bales at each c those points. We find that wax house facilities are provided f Fort Mill, which will tako car of all the cotton olferod for sto: age in the upper portion of th Panhandle of this county. We woulf1 strongly recorr mend that the farmers stora thei cotton and discontinue the inic uitous and wasteful practice o throwing their cotton out on th ground and leaving it exposei to the weather, and thoy shoul either carry thoir cotton to thi nearest town and store it in th warehouses, or they should buil private cotton houses of thei own on their own premises am store their cotton out of th weather. Wo are told by th warehousemen at Lancaster Heatn Springs and Kershav that they are prepared to ad vance a reasonable amount at al times on cotton stored in thei ware houses and at the lowes prevailing rates of interest.
