Hennettsville, Special. The public
cotton weighers here had weighed, at
the close of last week, 10,040 bales.
At the same date last year they hail
weighed 14,OS.") bales- .'1,1111) more
than this year.
The total number of bales weighed
last year wn? 1H.008, mid there were
about 2,500 bales shipped from here
that were not weighed by the public
we its be is.
The falling <iff this year is not due
to Hennettsville lack of prestige as a
cotton market, but on account of the
lateness and shortness of the crop.
Most of the farmers say they will
make only from f>0 to HO per cent of
the crop they made last year.
About half of the cotton made' in
the county conies to Bcnnettsvilie and
the receipts here are usually a good
index of the crop.
