made, he said, to have these ware,
houses erected before harvesting
period of the 1920 crops so that thi
sale of that crop may be stretches
over a full period of 12 months.
"It is our purpose," said Mr. Wanno
maker "to have these warehouses owl
ed and controlled by the people of the
respective counties. They will bi
operated under state or national ware
house acts and it will be urged by u
that steps be taken to as nearly as po
sible int srest rate in borrowing on th<
cotton stored in these warehouses.
"We will also attempt to secure
pledges which will insure that the sale

'The American Cotton associatior
realizes the value of the warehousing

determined that the handling of this

South Carolina will be well repre

according to R. M. Mixon president
of the South Carolina division, who
says that a very large number of the
400 delegates who were appointed have
written signifying their intention of
attending. Mr. Mixson, who was fore
ed 'to cancel some of his speaking en
gagements last week because of an in
disposition, is now about recovered

PNEUMONIA CASES
GROW IN NUMBER
Charleston, Feb. 16.-Pneumonia is
increasing in Charleston at rather
rapid rate, there being 31 cases re
ported to the health authorities since
Saturday, along with 206 case of in
fluenza. * Five deaths from pneumonia
a"d three from influenza occured dur
ing the week-end. It is feared that
the cold wave, which now has this
city in its grip, will serve to augment
the spread of pneumonia. The total
influenza record since the latter part
of Jammnry is reaching 3 500 eases, ac-,
gcording to unofficial figures. During
that period nearly 100 cases of pneu
monia have developed.
