d -Twelve yeats ago. this State did

quence. An experiment was madein
Pick.-Us about 15 years ago, but it
failed. None is raised for market
now. In 1899, 304 acres were plant
ed in the Eastern part of the State.
The yieid was 224,898 pounds, worth
$33,908. In 1902, 34,912 acres were
plantad in tabacco aud the yield was
25,524,40S pounds, worth about three
million dollars. These figures are
takeu from the Florence correspond
ence of The State. If they are correct
they indicate that there are millions
in tobacco. The amount of money
received is $89 per acre. That more
than doubles cotton when a bale to
the acre is produced. In the Pied
mont counties of.-the State 34,912
acres do noAt produce more than 12,
000 bales-of cotton, which will bring
about $16 an acre including the seed.

~R. Q. Gaines, of Central, was in
Pikens Tuesday, and in conversation
with him we learned that Gaines &
assawaway Bros. had a car of good
horses to sell; they. also have a car of
the Osborne Machine Co's. mowers,
barrows, rakes, ste. These are good
machines "and the farmers all ought
to use something of this sort as it
nyes both timti anid labor.
Mr. Gaines told us that Central
would certainly get a cotton mill; the
cotton mill calls for a batnk, the bank
is a certagnty. The waste power from
therxoller~ mill is to be .atilized to
run. an oil fanili and. ginnerg-thus
one thing 'alls foi' another-a cottoa
mill, an oil mill and a bank, and all
these enterprises are under way there
-and all of them will be badL and
in operation in the near future.
Central is niot near dead; the mov.
ing (of the railrcad terminal from that
point was 6uly the making of her and
is roslly the best thing that ever hap.

We rejoice with the towu and her
citizeus in their good fortune, and
hope before another year that they
may have to increase each of these en
terprises.
