Who Is Responsible?
From time to time we have heard
a good deal of unfavorable comment
by taxpayers regarding the county
road machinery that is, and has
been for some months lying idle on
a vacant roadside lot near the
...
Williamsburg cemetery. This machinery
consists of one large traction
:. engine, several dirt hauling cars and
aroad scraper. None of it has the least
protection from the elements and is
sinrplying going to loss for want of
shelter and attention. When this
machinery was placed where it now
is some months ago, presumably by
orders of the road engineer, it had
a comparatively new appearance,
and, so far as we can learn, had
been used very little. It was, we
believe, in erood working condition.
or could easily have been put in
condition at a|small cost.
The original cost of this machinery
was doubtless several thousands of
dollars and it does seem to us that
some one is, or should be responsible
for its proper care.
If the road department has no immediate
use for the machinery, it 1

should be put in a dry place, certainly

If the big traction machinery is

why not sell or trade it off for some ^

INDORSES WAREHOUSE PLAN.
Ion. J. J. M. Graham's Advice to
Cotton Growers.
Editor County Record:?
Please allow me space to call the
ittention of our farmers and business
men to the importance of buildng
warehouses or storing their cot;on
in some standard warehouse. In
i letter written me by Mr John L
VIcLaurin's secretary you will see
.he different sizes and the full plan
)f building a standard warehouse.
Mow, I want to beg you, brother
farmers and business men, to move
slow in marketing your cotton; I
nave never seen any thing plainer
oefore me in my life than I see today,
that cotton will sell at good prices
this year if our people will exercise
?ood j udgment in marketing the crop.
[f you put your cotton on the market
and the whole South does the
same, you .will be playing to the
speculator's hand and you may expect
very little advance over last
year's prices; but if you will carry
your cotton home from the gin, or
store it in some warehouse and let
them want the cotton we are sure
to realize some of the losses that we
sustained last year. They had us
last year, when the whole world was
almost demoralized over the European
war; they caught us with no
money and no backing, so there was
nothing for us to do but sacrifice
the only money crop we had. This
year our banks have plenty of money
and besides, the National Government
has come to our rescue by
placing millions of dollars in our
reserve banks which will loan our
local banks moneyat a low interest rate
in order that the local banks can
loan the farmers on their cotton
receipts from a standard warehouse
at a rate not in excess of five or six
per cent and I feel sure that our
banks will co-operate with the farmers
to their fullest 'extent. Just
here I will say that from what information!
have we can only secure
this low rate of interest on cotton
that is stored in a standard warehouse
and insured.
Under Mr McLaurin's plan of
building these houses there is very
little cost attached; ten or more farmers
could get together in a neighborhood
and build one at a comparatively
small cost to each, and this
is just what we will have to do sooner
or later; the earlier we do it the
better it will be for us.
In these standard warehouses our
cotton will be graded by a competant
grader and we will know just what
we have, then when the prices warrant
us to sell we will not have to
take some little fellows word as to
what our cotton will grade. This
alone will add thousands of dollars
to the farmers' yearly income. Of
it _ ^11 iL-i ?
course me ienow mat is sausueu lu
have some one else that knows a
very little more than he does about
cotton, to grade his cotton, and is
satisfied with the present plan of
selling, then the warehouse system
will not benefit him.
Hoping that our farmers and
business men will grasp the situation
and enable us to realize something
from the small crop we have
this year, I am
Your very truly,
J J M Graham.
