determined that the cotton planters
or Been tort county vlU not loaa their
cotton crop.
company has boon formed here,
composed of about fifteen of Washington's
best known business men,
to build a storage warehouse. These
enterprising cttlsens hare already
met and elected the following officers:
President, Qeorge T. Leach;
First Vice-President, Qeorge .
Phillips; H. B. Mayo, 8econd VicePresident;
Qeorge Hackney. Jr., See-*
rotary and Treasurer.
Work will commence on the
storage warehouse, which Is to be
located near the Washington Buggy
Company factory on West Third
street, Monday morning. Tha building
will be In two sections. Bach
section will be 110x100 feet.
The purpose of this organisation
is to afford ths farmer as wall as
the merchant to store their cotton
for which warehouse receipts will
be issued. The building will be absolutely
flre-proof and will be proTided
with a sprinkling system so as
to afford the very lowest rate of insurance.
This warehouse receipt can be
taken to the FTrst National Bank
and this bank will advance the caah
on the note of the holder, secured
by their warehouse receipt to the
amount of thirty dollars per bale of
500 pounds or less average.
This determination on the part of
the First National Bank la surely a
commendable one and no doubt will
be appreciated by the fanners and M
merchants throughout the county.
The organisation of this warehouse
company goes to thow that
Washington Is still abreast of the
times and Its enterprising cltlsens
are determined to do all within their
power to aid those who till the soli.
The warehouse charges have not
as yet been fixed, but this paper assures
all its readers they will be
reasonable and as low as can be
made. Unless something unforeseen
happens the warehouse will be ready
by November 1.
The above arrangement will enable
the farmers to harvest their
crops and the business meu and merchants
to get at least part value
In cash for their cotton they will be
compelled to take.
Dne to the present conditions, It '
seems now absolutely necessary to
keep cotton off of the merket and
by a concerted effort this can be done
by the Beaufort county farmers with
the help of Ibe warehouse company
and the First National Bank. , .
This paper congratulates the farmers
of Beaufort eouaty upon this
move on the part of \Vas^jp|tgn's
enterprising cltlsena
