RUSH TO MARKET
NEW COTTON CROP
CAUSES CONGESTION
Newberry, S.

that day than on any one day within
the past few years. Owing to the
blocked condition of the cotton yards,
caused by the scarcity of cars and la
bor to handle it, not nearly all of the
cotton could be stored on the platforms
and large lots were thrown on the
ground. Wagons, loaded with cotton,
stood on all the streets several blocks
from the yards. It being a matter of
Impossibility to throw off their loads
before their "turns." Many remained
In line during which time the weigh
ers at both yarda were doing all they
Could to relieve the congestion. Find
ing It Impossible to get their cotton
neighed and placed on the platform, a
great many fanners, who had arrived
In the city early In the morning, hauled
It out to the auburba and threw It off
lo stay until they had the opportunity
«> get it weighed. It Is estimated that
there were more than one thousand
bales hauled to this market Saturday,
of which 805 were weighed.
The market was oft, the best cotton
bringing 10 1-2 cents. Many refused
less than 11 cents and either stored or
carried It back home.
