to figures contained in the advance
sheets of the annual report of
Ithe state board of health. The total

*2,000,000 Cotton Bank.
Meeting in Columbia the South Carolina
Cotton Association voted to establish
a cotton bank and export corporation
with a proposed capital
atock of $2,000,000. The object of
the organization as announced is not
?nly to finance the farmers and enable
them to withhold distress cotton
from the market, but also to establish
foreign correspondents and to take
care of the foreign shipments of the
staple so as to enable buyers from
abroad to deal directly with the producers.
In attempting to raise the stock for
the proposed bank, the state will be
divided into four sections and the
atock will be allocated according to
the cotton production of each section,
probably on a basis of $1.76 a bale
Of cotton. The Btock will be divided
tn two series, one of 60 per cent and
the other of 40 per cent. The 60 per
^ cent allotment is for the producer
anH fk? 4n nor cent for tho Hnnlrer
merchant and others.

Figures 'prepared by W. O. Smith,
state warehouse commissioner, show
that 116.000 bales of cotton were stored
in units of the state warehouse
system this year. Mr. Smith estimates
the value of the cotton stored to be
$21,000,000.
The system now has 256 warehouses,
many of which were improvised to
meet the emergencies of 1914 and succeeding
years, but 225 houses now
have cotton in them. Since making
his last annual report. Mr. Smith has
added 96 more houses to the system.
An encouraging feature of the work
Is that the system is far above selfsustaining.
He has already paid into
the state treasury this year S12.000
and approximates the additional
amount which will be forthcoming by
the end of the yeur to be $8,000.

Cause of Action Cited.
"The demand for raw cotton will
show a greater excess over the possible
supply before the 1920 crop becomes
available than at any time within
the last 60 years." says J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, president of the American
Cotton association, in a letter to
the editor of the oBston Transcript.
The letter was written in reply to
criticisms which have appeared in the
New England press of the organization
of the cotton association.
"After painstaking investigation by
experts of the American Cotton association,"
says Mr. Wannamaker, "we
And that profits of manufacturers

potency.
"Wide print cloth sold on basis that

which for this reason were quite
scarce are returning a profit of 74
cents per pound or $370 per hale."
