Another Tob?ceo Warehous -. Another Tobacco Warehouse will be built daring the spring *??d will be ready and equipped in time (or the opening sales of next season. This has been an open secret for some time, bot we have not felt at liberty to publish the facts that were in our possession until this time. Messrs. R. P. Monaghan and Marion Moise are at the head of the movement to build the new warehouse and they have already developed their p?aos ?nd engaged a manager for next season. The warehouse will be large, well lighted and supplied with every facility and convenience for handling, selling and shipping tobacco The location of the warehouse bas not been definitely decided upon, but it will be built adjacent to the railroad track so that shipment may be made without expense for drayage. A full corps of buyers will be in attendance at tbe ware? house daring the entire season, and with an experienced tobacco man as manager, the promoters of the new warehouse hope to assist ia making Sumter the largest and best tobacco market in the State. The prospective acreage that will be planted io tobacco ir. Sam ter and adjoining I counties makes it necesssary that Sumter shall have larger facilities for handling the tobacco that will be brought here for sale next seasoD, and the business men are taking time by the forelock by beginning to get ready for the next season at this early day. ?n addition to toe new warehouse, the Direct? ors of the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse Com? pany have planned to greatly enlarge their warehouse so that there will ?e ample floor and storage room to handle all the tobacco that will be brought to the warehouse for sale. Oo several occasions this season the warehouse was too small to re? ceive all that was brought for sale by the farmers of tbis and neighboring coun? ties. As soon as the tobacco season closes the work of re-modelliog and enlarging the warehouse will be commenced, and when the I next season opens Sumter will have, practi? cally, two new and commodious tobacco warehouses. The establishment of a tobacco warehouse in Sumter was undertaken as an experiment and with considerable misgiving, for with scarcely an exception,the wiseacres predicted an ignominious failure and financial disaster. Notwithstanding the predictions the ware? house has been a success from the opening day, and the volume of business passed the high water mark set by the most sanguine of those who believed that Sumter should be and could be made a tobacco market. The amount of tobacco brought here for sale bas surprised everybody as greatly as the quality of the tobacco produced in this section has the tobacco men of other and older States. The average price paid for tobacco at the Sumter Warehouse up to date is a fraction more than ten cents per pound. The aver? age includes every pound of tohacco of every sort that has been sold-even trash and scraps that sold for less than a cent a pound was included when the average was taken. Excluding scraps and trash the average is thirteen cents per pound straight through ! That is a record that any tobacco market may stand on and not fear competing mar? kets. And it is also a record of fine tobacco that recommends the market to buyers who seek a fioe quality of tobacco. Tiie tobacco business is no inconsiderable factor in tbe trade of Sumter at this time, but we firmly believe that within a few years more the tobacco business will be almost as extensive and valuable as the ?[cotton busi? ness. Sumter is already reaching out for business in the outlying territory, as the lease of the Lamar Warehouse by the Sumter Warehouse Co., shows, and if this policy is pursued the town and the tobacco business is certain to grow together.
