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

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

cotton except bv an mil right sale

for this helpless condition of the
farmers that the bonded ware
