Editor Manning Times: I want space in your paper to tell my friends something of my whereabouts since leaving Manning. I comp direct to Mayesville, Kentucky, got hire on 7th of December, market opened up for business the 8th. W.- did not sell much tobacco during December owing to the fact that the farmers did not have it graded and ready for market. Since January 1st we have been sell ing worlds of the weed. We have here eight large tobacco warehouses, some of them the largest tobacco ware h-uses in the world. We are now hav ing a double set of buyers for each day. and then we block and do not get around in a day selling from two hund red and fifty to three hundred piles on the floor with two seperate sales going on at the same time: This market atone will st-l half as much tobacco as the entire q:- t if South Carolina did in 1915 Kentucki alone selis around 400,000.000 annualv, but will fall short this time, possibly 30 to 35 per cent in weight. Now what I want to get before our people is this, tobacco prices are high er than I ever saw them in this State. And especially is this true with the bright light types of smoking tobacco. I have been in the tobacco business inet 1898. and I think we are having the best market for the kind of tobac co that is being otTered I ever-saw. 1 find that not only was South Caro lina. North Carolina and Virginia hit 'ard in a short production in 1915, but that Kentucky, Ohio. West Virginia 4.nd Iudianna and also Tennessee was effected by the same late sprinl in 19 15. and also by the poor seasons during the growing season. So reader and tobacco planter, you can observe from reading this that af-C tr all it was not so much the kind of guano or fertilizer that we used in South Carolina last year that knocked our production down as was it done to the had tobacco season which prev'ailea I over the entirec tobacco producing countrv.T Now boys iou can tak-~ the above for a what evecr value you put on it. you can ave it at par if you want it. But sieat I want to get before our people now is this, I believe 1916 will b" t he vear to grow bright tobacco in Sout-h ;arolina. Tobacco for more than a year bas been listed as contraband, but a short while back this was lifted, and we now have oplen shipping facilities to Europe. This no doubt has been a great help towards making better prices. I hope our people will nlot b disheartened at the prices received E 1915 and lose out iu this year. Gentl-men you have sour tobacco ~ bares, flues, etc.. already bought and ~ a paid for. All of you that planted to haceo last year and as many new oves as want to go into it this year. walk ri ht in, roll up your sleeves and take E a hou. I am not a prophet, but be ieve this wil h e a go:)d year to plant robacco in South Carolina. I hope onir merchanrs and business men in general fom whom '.ur farmers get, theitr fert': lzers and suppb-s wvill not, hesitate to help the bo~ss out. It certainly w~ll not he wise to go er..i' the. pro0 do--tion of cotton, no farmn-r shou d de-' p- nd upon any one certain crop when ~ he can etrow several. Just let the mer cant ,pptly imore, get it out of his head at on1ce if he nas the idea there taf everbody should plant all cotton. You can take the tobacco planter of Clarendon county, and lie has mnade ~ mforeC c'ear money out of growing to tobacc.than he ever did Kiing cotton.c take it one year with another. j8 Now .\r. mrchaot, for your zood. ad for the good of your~ countryv and o:r the good of the farmer to whom you furna~h supplies from abiut 19153 an help the moan agaio tnat wazes to p~lant tobacco as well as cotton. If you die not get aux tmoney much out of h's robaco it wasott his fault, he did not maae an' tobacco hardly worth gath ering. Did you find cotton proilttle the fall of 1914. and the country. wa fulli of it too. Some one will say [ am writing this for my own selli-,h inter- I est. I am not, I am wr'iting this for C the people of outr county in g.-nera! and I imcludio myself among themn. All the tonaceo' dealers that had tbi' srocks on hand have unloadedl at a ptrofit and will no doutbt be on the South Carolinmt " market next summer and help to make our prices cood, whieb I fully t xO:Ot to see.
