Mullins, July 26.-The tobacco season has fully opened in all the markets in eastern South Carolina, but the planters and warehousemen are brought face to face with a serious problem for they realize that they are completely at the mercy of the tobacco trust commonly known as the American Tobacco Com pany. Prices are just about half what they were last season, but about the same as two years ago. The common grades such as "sand lugs" are selling from 4 to 6 cents a pound and some as low as 2 cents. The American To bacco company is the only buyer on the market and hence dictates the prices. It will be remembered that the Imperial was their strongest com petitor, besides a number of inde pendent ~speculators who ran prices up to almost fictitious val ues, but a consolidation between the American and imperial was perfected at the close of the sea son and the gigantic trust now has the market at its mercy. The daily scenes in the ware houses are in marked contrast to those of former seasons. The farmers are dissatisfied :nd do not hesitate to show ' --but know full well that theyhave no re dress. Thi ondition of affairs is said to ist all over the tobac cn in South Carolina, o Carolina and Virginia. The tobacco belt in South Car olina embraces only that section of the State watered by the Great Pee Dee river and it is estimated that the crop of 1902 aggregated 31,000,000 pounds at an average price of 8 cents which broughit into the State $2,400,000. Of this amount it is estimated that Marion county handled 14,000,000 pounds. It is further estimated that $100,000 is invested in this coun ty. in warehouses, stemmeries and prizehouses, which repre sents about half the invested cap ital in this enterprise alone in the Pee Dee section. The majority of this capital -was brought into this State by a -repiesentative class of men from Virginia and North Carolina who have mnade their homes here, and constitute a class of citizenship of which any State might be proud-men who have gone to work and built up the waste plac es and thereby brought a degree of - prosperity heretofore un known in this section of the State. The question is will the cultiva tion of tobacco be discontinued now that the price is below the cost of production, or will the crop be curtailed another year 75 per cent.? Many farmers de clare that they will not plant an other stalk, but will devote their -lands to the cultivation of cotton which bids fair to bring remune rative prices this year, and the outlook in this section for boun tiful harvests was never more promismng. The South Carolina tobacco acreage this year is from 20 to 25 per cent. more than last year and the labor in this section is inadequate to gather it all, hence thousands of dollars is daily go inig to waste in the fields, yet what is gathered constitutes the "golden egg" laid by the tobacco goose which the American To bacco company is strangling to death. But the farmers have the consolation that high prospect ive prices for cotton wilR even up affairs at the end of the year. The American Tobacco com pany did not come into the mar ket until the 20th inst., henoe this was the opening day at all the markets and not until then were prices fixed. True, the quality so far lias been inferior and carelessly prepared for mar ket. On account of the rains the lower leaves of the plant were covered with sand which was neyer removed, hence while it increased the weight, greatly re duced the price, for the keen eyes and delicate touch of the buyers readily detect its pres ence,but as one farmer declared, he would rather sell his land' at two cents a pound than at $100 per acre. T.HE LABOR PROBLEM. Owing to the diversified indus tries in this section the question of labor is the most serious which confronts these people. - The supply is totally inadequate to the demand and only those families who do all their work are the ones who are independ ent. Evcn in the towns and vil lages cooks, washerwomen and nurses leave without notice for the strawberry, tobacco and cot ton fields, where they can de mand higher wages. Their work is often slovenly done, for they well know that if discharged they can get employment on the next plantation anid the high prices demanded often leaves the -farmer in debt after selling his lina tobacco has lost some of it. high prestige in other market4 on account of the careless way ir which it is put up; it is poorly graded and some is picked beforE it is ripe. If the crop is reducec one-half and carefully handled, it is claimed that it would bring just as much money. The con sumption of wood for curing th( tobacco is also getting to be t serious question in many sec tions of the tobacco belt. THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. A prominent representative o the American Tobacco compan3 was seen and asked to give hi views on the situation. He said that there was nothing new ir the present situation. Prices are as high as they were two yearc ago and he anticipated no ad vance until all the low grades are marketed. True the com pany is practically without com petition just now, and the inde pendent export buyers have de clared that they will not comE into the market until August, when the better grades are of fered. Last year at the begin ning of the season all the old crop had been worked up for thE previous crop was short and speculators were not slow im taking advantage of the situa tion and ran prices up. The cror was much larger than antici pated and consequently many oi them have been unable to unload and reenter the market. He stated that even in Mullins there was at least $50,000 worth of tobacco, of last year's crop, in the hands of speculators and the same conditions exist elsewhere. Money is very scarce in thE North and this will deter many from entering the market this season. "Tobacco must be kept 1E months before it can be manu factured," said he, "and undei existing circumstances futurE prices are problematic. Even i South Cao1in; was to go en tirely out of the tobacco businesE it woud'not amount to more that a drop in the bucket." He said that he would be glad to see the acreage curtailed a1 least one-half, for than the crol would be carefully handled and a better product would be the result. The cheap, trashy stut was now a drug on the market, but it had to be bought to get i1 out of the way for the bettei grades, which he felt confiden1 would demand good prices latei in the season. The merchants are watching the situation very closely, fo: many of them have made heavy advances on the crop. Some oj them go so far as to declare tha1 they are willing to go into ai agreement not to handle th4 manufactured goods of th~ American Tobacco company. F. P. Cooper in Columbia State SrA'TE OF omuo.

If the State constables con tinue making successful raids ii Charleston, the Columbia distrib uting point will not need to bu3 heavy stocks, and the purchasing board will be thrown out of bus iness. There is no doubt abou: a sincere effort being made to en force the dispensary law ii Charleston, but in our opini liquor will be sold there as lcng as there are purchasers. We d< not believe it possible to stop th( illicit sale of whiskey and bee: in Charleston, and Governio: Heyward's administration wil: prove it. Under it the most ar dent advocate of the law will no1 be able to complain of a lax en forcement, and we believe th( law as being enforced will con. vince the General Assembly tha1 it must make provision for thE large cities. Charleston will never submi1 to complying with the presen1 provisions of the dispensary law, because it is not suited to its mixed population, but we believE if the Legislature could give tha' city a license system with dis pensary regulations, not as those regulations are now, but some what modified, the law would bE enforced. We do not think 11 wise policy to have a law on thE statute books which the people of a community do not want and which they believe is dam aging to their interests.

Now is the time for the farm ers to make up their minds whether or not they are -going tc let the combination or associa tion or conspiracy of oil milli have their cotton seed at hal: price. There is no doubt tha1 the mills can afford to pay 4C cents a bushel for seed and give honest weights and then make a large percentage for their stock holders, and they will give it if the farmers show a dispositior to stand up for their honest rights. We think it unwise tc sell seed at any price, but if the people will sell them, let then: sell and not give them away as they have been doing the past few years. Should the farmers make a stand for more money for DEATH OF A VETERAN. Mr. David Welch Answers to the Last Rot Call. David f. Welch died at his home in Clarendon county on the 11th inst. from the effects-of blood poisoning. He was 69 Years old. Mr. Welch was a gallant soldier in the Civil War, having served as orderly sergeaut in Capt. McBeth's company, Col. Alfred Rhett's regiment of regu lars, during the war until the evacua tion of Charleston, when he joined Gen. Johnston's army and was at the fight at Averysboro, N. C., with his company, and the subsequent surrender of Johns ton's army. At the surrender he tore the regimental flag from its staff and bore it away in his bosom to his home, along with his sword and scabbard, which he kept as an interesting me mento of the fierce struggle in which he bore his part so well. After the -war Mr. Welch followed the avocation of farming. which he sup plemented with black-smith and carpen ter work. The funeral services took place Sun day evening, July 12th, at the McEl veen burying ground, Rev. James Mc Dowel officiating. Mr. Welch was a member of Bethel church (near where he is buried) for more than thirty years. He leaves a sorrow-stricken wife and 13 children--ten girls and three boys along with many friends to mourn his death. A FRIEMD. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Wise and Otherwise. It takes a great man to manage a small woman. There is no rest for the man whc takes a vacation. Heresy doesn't do half the mischief that hearsay does. Adversity is given to some men tc test their honesty. Existence of friendship depends upon reciprosity of esteem. When a man talks of himself he can seldom interest others. Fools never stop to count the cost un til the bill collector calls. If Ananias were living to-day he wouldn't be considered so mut. Girls Outwork Men. According to a report which reached Mr. Gerow, free employment agent. thE Eastern college students who came t< Kansas to work in the harvest fields are not doing as much work as the farmers daughters. "The girls of Pawnee county," said A. G. Miller of that county, to-day, "are putting the trained athletes fro= Princeton, Yale, Harvard and other col leges out of business when it comes tc shocking wheat behind a self-binder. "The girls are working in the fields because it is necessary, and they know how to do the work. The muscles of the students have not hardened sufficiently to enable them to keep pace with the g-irls. ""Two sisters, daughters of Oscar Swenson, near Larned, are working with four of the students, and they are doing more work than the four men. "If the students stay in the fields un til they can do as much as our young wo men they will go home trained athletes.' -Topeka, Kan., letter to New York Telegram. O A&T OIt IA.

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat big bluff and shut down, but it would only be a bluff, and it would only last a short while. They must have seed and a lot of them; they will buy them with a view to declare big divi dends on their water-soaked stock, but when the seed is not forthcoming at the price they dictate, then the seed must come if more money has to be given. We know of no institution which makes as much clear profit as the oil mills, and we know of none that are so unwilling to pay a fair price for material. It is because their material comes di rect from the farmer, and as a class he is the most gullible cre ature on earth, a little money and a good big bluff usually catches him. Farmers, do not sell your cot ton seed for less than 40 cents per bushel, they are worth even more. according to the price of oil, meal and hulls, but 40 cents a bushel with honest weights is reasonable. and if the mills won't pay it, hold the seed until they do or put them back into the ground. You are masters of the situation. When the seed is turned into meal the mills do not ask the farmer what he will pay for meal, they demand a price and get it, and there is no sense in the farmer going into a one sided game.

Editor The Manning Times: It's hot weather where we live and we might very well exclaim like that fellow that said, "Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness, a contiguity of shade," and he went on to say some thing about the old maids being in the way, but we won't bother the old maids if they will just keep on cooking some thing for us to eat. Yes, sir, with the scales pulling down to 100 in the shade, if it ain't hot weather it's most. . Crops ar shffering for rain just now, and the damage will be serious if we don't soon get some rain. But through all the hot, dry weather "General Green" flourishes. Up to now this has been a pretty tough year on the wool hat brigade. We seemed to be making very good progress until the hailstorm struck us, and that just seemed to set all the dogs of nature "agin" us. It's been a good many years since grs was so hard to kill. You could plow up a big bunch, of grass and it would take root on the other side and grow right on. I've seen some bunches of grass that had been turned over so many times that they had roots on all four sides and' both ends and it flourishing. So I don't think there will be any fain inme in the hay market this fall, unless it is for the poor fellow that cuts, cures and hauls it to market for 25 cents per hundred. The hail did the tobacco crop very bad around this community. Some of the farmers that had tobacco shoulder high, and would not have sold for less that $100 per acre the day before the hail, will have nothing in the world to sell but scrap, won't make enough to pay for the fertilizer used. That's hard luck, ain't it? But the hailstorm didn't do us half as much damage as that big trust is going to do. People generally judge a gun not so much by the fuss it makes, but by the damage it does when it shoots. Well then, somewhere away up North there is one of the "golbust inest," biggest guns that ever has been made or invented by man. That gun is now owned and controlled by the English-American Tobacco Company. Sometime last fall them fellows up there leaded up that old gun, and instead of using common gunpowder they must have filled her about half full of gun cotton dynamite, and if there is any thing that can tear up creation, some of that too, and nobody has ever been able. to "figger" out what they used for shot in that gun. Anyhow, when they got her ]oaded to their satisfaction they turned the muzzle of it down South and hollered out, "Everybody that don't want to git hurt, git out the way!" When that gun fired it did hit, wound, penetrate and cripple, every tobacco farmer in Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and a heap more that ain't been heard from yet. They do say that the con cussion from that gun jarred milk down :in the hominy pots in China. (Recko'n they must have been cooking breakfast when the gun fired.) Well now I just want to tell you that a gun like that is a dangerous weapon, en tirely too dangerous to be owned or contoled by any company of men. Nothing but a government like Uncle Sam's or .Tohn Bull's ought to be al lowed io have a gun that could create so much devilment as that. Why. just suppose Stonewall Jackson had have had a gun like that when he was fighting them Yanks, he could hzave just rolled her down in Florida some where and pointed her hack this wvay and said, "Everybody take care of your selves and let her slide." The only trouble he would have had would be to load her with something that wouldn't kill anything but Yankees, and I think he could have managed that alright,for them fellows that shot that other big gun managed it o. k. They didn't hurt anybody much but tobacco farmers. I wonder if the warehouse men are going to have any mercy on the fellows that the hail hit. They ought to, but the presumption is the other way-.
