When these are filled, the wagons are loaded with the sacks and hauled to the gins. After ginning, the bales are taken to the cities to he sold. Often in front of stores, there are frequently fifty or more wagons, surrounded by cotton buyers, who are sampling the cotton and paying for same according to grade. When the sale is made, the bales are hauled to the wharf and taken on board vessels, where they are shipped to the manufacturing markets, both north and south.
