So i be Charlotte, N C Feb. 21. j tin The Charlotte Bonded Ware-! a'< 'PI how-e Co., which has he?iun In: i- 111 ness in tbiseitv, is the pioneer institotion of its kind in the South, 1UI and from the (.haraeler of its 1 operations it is destined to n'traet ! ' *1 a threat deal of at.ten'ion in the 11 eotntnereial and industrial world. J It has always been eleuned that;'1" an ortranixation or corporation I (1 I rei along the lines of the Charlotte Bonded Warehouse Co. has been ( one of the groat and crying needs of the cotton-producing States, * ! so there is reasonably ground for %v< th" belief that the Charlotte veil- ; no tore will j?rove a success. That 1,0 will mean the establishment ofj'r! similar I> o t) d e <1 warehouses j t ' throughout th cotton belt and :i ' "7'' resultant improvement in lite < 011 i .... i dition i)i llu) fanners. It is beuelieent inst tint ion, for it pro-1 mi vidcs for the firmer a wnv to t?orrow money on his cotton, and en-1 ahles him to hold it until the con- I 0,1 dition of the market may he such i !l as will induce him to soil. The co warehouse is an institution found-1 ed 011 cotton, and its operation is co simple. wl It receives and stores cotton and fu 1 manufactured products ut low , rates, issuing therefor warehouse certificates which are negotiable |m [at any hank. The farmer can I store a hale of cotton in the wareI house and get a certificate, and this certificate is coa/ertible into cash as readily as a check. cft Perhaps a clearer explanation of ^ the workings and system of the 1 ? & warehouse might l?e given in a supposablo transaction between a farmer and the company. thirst, 4< one should hear in mind the fact ?? that the averago Southern farmer ! ^ is obliged to sell a portion, if not HI1 all, of his cotton crop in tho fall to get cash to pay his debts He 1 generally owes the merchant who ' i 'runs' him during the year, and if he is not himself pressed fo~ money ^ his croppers always are, and as ; soon ns the tirst bale of cotton is picked it must he sold ami the silver divided out uninng them. Tho fanner has heretofore had no ( . to means ot raising monev on his . , th cotton except bv an mil right sale j, i t!C of t.)0 MSlpiC, DO HlSlltfT hoiv low the market. It is as a remedy for this helpless condition of the farmers that the bonded ware houso is to be viewed in the light , , ... I):! 01 a beneficent nMitution. Now, ._ as to its operation: sa Farmer dunes has brought In* first ba! of the new crop to n. r 1 OT . (for it, as his debts are dm< an I , , ?V| I 'ill i 1 Off?
