Iii I ho croat temples of Rahylon it i?- has lioon learned that the priest- an.I the priestess stood on the same level, The State WareHouse System The law providing for the "Cotton Warehouse System for the State of South Carolina" was passed at the extraordinary session of the general assembly in October, 1914. It was entitled "An Act to Regulate the Storing, Grading and Marketing of Cotton." Its.purpose was "to protect the people of this State from irreparable loss, to provide some general plan for warehousing, and to finance (he crop by converting cotton into a negotiable security which will command respect in the money markets of the world." It was designed to establish a Cotton Warehouse System "within the police powers of the State and for the general welfare." The administration of the system was placed in the hands of the State warehouse commissioner who was elected by the general assembly for the term of two years. The State we rehouse commissioner is required to give "a bond to the State of South Carolina in the sum of $">0,000 to guarantee the faithful performance of his duties." The commissioner is empowered "to acquire property for the warehousing of cotton," and to supervise the operation of warehouses through bonded managers. The cotton stored in a warehouse system is at all times and automatically covered by insurance. "The warehouse commissioner shall accept as authoritative the standards and classifications of cotton established by the Federal government." For all cotton stored in a State warehouse the commissioner shall issue a receipt "under the seal and in the name of the State of South Carolina." Every bale of cotton stored in a State warehouse must carry a tag ! showing that it has been "legally : weighed" by the manager of the ( warehouse and that it has been grad- ( ed by "a Federal or State inspector." ( The warehouse receipt issued for the cotton must state the "location of warehouse, name of manager, or agent of the warehouse, the mark on the bale, weight, grade and whether long or short staple, so as to he able to deliver on surrender of the receipt the identical cotton for which it was given." The said receipt carries the absolute title of the cotton." the receipt is "transferable by written assignment and actual delivery." "The weights, classes and grades of cotton on storage are under the act only guaranteed by the State in favor of those who loan money or buy cotton stored in warehouses." Cotton represented by the warehouse receipt is "deliverable only oh a physical presentation.*.--./ T?w>r,w?j^ -* ?'vi^ the cotton is taken ' the warehouse." | Any manager or other employeol of a State warehouse who shall fraujlu lently issue a receipt or a dupliclate receipt for cotton, or who shall " leliver cotton from a warehouse without the production of the receipt which is to he marked 'cancelled' when the cotton is taken from jhe warehouse." Any manager or other employee of a State warehouse who shall fraudulently issue a receipt or a duplicate receipt for cotton, or who shall "deliver cotton from a warehouse without the production of the receipt therefor, or who fails to mark such receipt 'cancelled' on the delivery of the cotton," shall be heavily fined or imprisoned, or both fined and imprisoned. "Any person who shall de- , posit or attempt to deposit cotton upon which a lien or mortgage ex- . ists, without notifying the manager ] of the warehouse, shall be punished < jby fine and imprisonment for a period , of not more than one year, and a fine > not more than one thousand dollars." j Benefits to Farmers. Under the unusual conditions which have prevailed during the past th ee ( years the State warehouse system iat* < been subjected to the severest tc ts j and has proven a success?a grat , blessing to the cotton farmers of | South Carolina. The benefits h;ve , been manifold: 1 (1). The building of a warehone ] in a community has aroused the sprit ( of cooperation among the farmers of ) that community. Mutual lielpfuUvss j loads to unselfish service and to ie ] actual practice of the great motto >f j agricultural cooperation; "All >r . each, and each for all." ( (2). The concentration of all cottn ( grown in a community in a lo d , warehouse has made it possible ad ; easy for the farmers to make coi- j bined sales, selling in hundred b'e lots rather than by single bales or n small lots. - ("). Kach sale as it is stored ira State warehouse is "legally weight" and carefully graded by a "Federal r State inspector," the owner of the c- j] ton is given a warehouse receipt whh s accurately describes each bale, so tit h t ho t'Atlnn ''"On ?>?/!

"The said receipt carries s o absolute title of the cotton." and; "tran feralde by written assipnnft' 7 and actual delivery." Such receipt b issued "under the; seal and in name of the State of South Carol and is guaranteed l?v "a hond to w State of South Carolina in the sum in sr, o.ono." (.">). The wav hou-intf of cotton ei I comes a protection airainst damage . the weather and ag;rinst loss by fi \f every community or plantation warehouse is automatically insured by a blanket policy to the amount of $70,000 and additional insurance can be secured by any warehouse just as it may be needed. (<?). A contract with one of the leading insurance companies of the | United States has been made and duly executed, and cotton can be stored in a country warehouse at exceptionally low insurance rates. All insurance is handled by the office of the State warehouse commissioner. (7). The receipt issued by a State warehouse is recognized today as a very desirable security for a loan and is readily accepted by the banks of South Carolina as well as by the largest financial institutions of the country. Such receipt is easily negotiable at the value of the cotton on the (hlV the lo:in i? , V>VI.Y ticim-ui of risk is eliminated, for the receipt is always worth more than the face value of the note given for the loan. (8). The State warehouse system has enabled farmers to market their cotton crop gradually and only when words, to sell cotton onry when there is an active demand for it by consuming plants. The commissioner is now developing a plan for a State system of cotton marketing so that the producers, rather than the speculators, may he able to supply the monthly demands of the mills. (9). Warehouses with capacity of 200 to 500 hales can he constructed in the rural districts or on the plantation at a cost hut little in excess of $1.00 a hale, and a 1.000 hale warehouse can he built for less than $1.00 a hale. This means a warehouse constructed of metal. Plans, blue-prints, and specifications meeting all the requirements of insurance companies will be furnished free of cost by the State warehouse commssioner. (10). The community or plantation warehouse can be made a part of the State warehouse system in the following manner: The commissioner rents the warehouse at a nominal rental of $1.00 a year, and then issues to the owner or owners a commission or license to operate the warehouse, charging a fee of $2.00 for this comml ion or license. The commissioner appoints a suitable person warehouseman, and this warehouseman enters into a bond (ranging from $1,000 to $5,000) for the faithful performance! of his duties. The warehouse thus be-1 comes a part of the State warehouse system and is given a number. When warehouseman is ready for business, the commissioner has the warehouse covered by a blanket insurance policy to amount of $70,000. Daily reports of cotton stored in or withdrawn from the warehouse are made to the office of the State commissioner. A record of each and every transaction of the warehouseman is kept in the vviiiuuoo^iicr s uiuce. (11). The owners of a community or plantation warehouse can store at \'>?;M'40pt, 3 bale a month insurance. The insurance rate is $1.58 a year on the $100 valuation of cotton?this insurance is prorated on cotton stored for less time than a year. The cotton is valued at market price of grades on day cotton is stored and the amount of insurance is determined by the weekly average of price of cotton during the period of storage. The charge of 3c a bale a month goes toward the expenses of the commissioner's office. The insurance is paid monthly, while the storage charges are not paid until cotton is withdrawn from the warehouse. All persons not interested in the ownership of the warehouse pay the usual charges for storage, and these charges include the 3c a bale a month I and the cost of insurance. (12). The farmer having cotton in a warehouse connected with the State warehouse system has full protection against loss?under the bond of the local manager, under the bond of the State commissioner, and under an insurance policy of $70,000 or more. The cotton is stored in the community where grown and can be sold any lour of any day of the year. The farmeus of each community in very cotton producing county in South Carolina should unite in buildng a warehouse, the owner of every rinnery should operate a warehouse For the accommodation of patrons, eviry farmer making 100 bales of cotton should have a plantation warolouse or two or more farmers should omhine in the construction of a warelouse with capacity sufficient to store heir own and their neighbor's cotton [f there were enough warehouses in he .State warehouse swstom to store ill the cotton grown in the State about 1,500,000 bales), the farmers >f South Carolina could control the narketing of their cotton crops, soling strictly on grades and only when irices were satisfactory. i v. u. ftmith.
