S.C. tobacco gc By The Associated Press South Carolina's estimated $180 million tobacco crop went to market today, with the staccato chant of auctioneers echoing in warehouses across the Pee Dee. About 150 people gathered at Gregory's Warehouse on die west end of Timmonsville as the auctions eot under wav about 8:30 a.m. In a prayer before the sale began, they thanked God "the joy of planting, the pleasure of the harvest and now the joy of marketing." "The tobacco looks a lot better on the floor than a lot of us expected," state Commissioner of Agriculture Les Tindal said. Tindal predicted this year's crop would probably earn about the same as the 1989 crop, $1.66 per pound on the average.
