TOBACCO MARKET BOOMING. , Quality and Quantity All to tlie Good and High Prices Prevail. The local tohacco rnurKetis 000111i ing now. Last Friday a Record man witnessed one of the snappiest . sales here he has ever seen on a warehouse floor. There was a good crowd present, the auctioneer was well 4 'tuned-up11 and the buyers . seemed possessed of more than their usual supply of "ginger.11 The bidding was spirited from start to finish and the 80,000 or 40,(>KJ pounds sold averaged i) 1-2 cents a pound, we are informed. Some piles of tobacco we saw bring as much as 81 cents a pound. One pile of scrap tobacco that looktd like dead leaves frost-bitten and fit for nothing was bid in at five cents A nonnd for :i oile that weighed I , aWit 300 pounds, too. On every side were heard expressions of satisfaction from farmers who had real- j . ized fine prices for their tobacco. Tuesday there was another g-nxlj sale, we understand, when 35,000' pounds averaged ten cents a pound! 1 This is a splendid average price for i that quantity of tobacco, and we j doubt if that day's sale was equaled j by any other market in the State,; price and quality considered. Our j information comes direct from buy- i ers and warehousemen and we have ; their assurance that e v e r y t h i n g. stated in this article is true. Wei try to lean to conservatism in every statement made in this paper, and investigate carefully every claim Ik*- ! fore it is accepted. The Kingstr-v market got a rather 1 late start this season, but from all accounts the warehouses are making up for lost time. The sand-lugs offered at the bfginning of the season ; arc of very little value to anvone 1 and unless l*?ost *d to an abnormally high price f<?r a purpose, the , prices run pretty much the same at' ? every market.

Taft has always thought very highly of Bryan and this good opinion continues to grow. We are not speaking of the President or the orator from Nebraska; we are speaking of the thriving little town of Taft, S C, and its most prominent citizen, W D Bryan, who arrived in Hendersonville last week. Mr Bryan has been coming to Hendersonville every summer for several years and owns some attractive property in the northwest part of this city. He has many friends here and is exceedingly popular in his home town. He has been an efficient member of the south Carolina Legislature and his fellow-citizens are anxious to re-eleci him. During the last campaign the people of Taft, who are Democrats, learned with dismay that a man who was named for their town was running for President on the Republican ticket. They ta ked of starting a movement to have the name of that burg changed from Taft to Bryan; and when they talk of Bryan down there they mean W.D.,of South Carolina, not W J of Nebraska.?
