MR COTHRAN WRITES OF
TOBACCO SITUATION
Editor Manning Times,
Gentlemen:
With your co-operation I want to
get a few things before the tobacco
growers of Clarendon County.
The tobacco season will soon be here
again, every tobacco farmer is now
looking forward to the time, also
every warehousemen and buyer that
will be. represented upon our various
markets in the State. I want to see
the farmers get the best possible re
sults in this time of (lire need and
necessity. I haven't been around
much, and haven't seen a great deal
of this year's crop of tobacco, but at
the same time have kept close tab on
how things are by familiarizing My
self in getting reports from every sec
tion in the County. I hope to be able
to get out some in the next few (lays
and see many of you personally, but
the way my business is here this is
uncertain. I am doing all I can to get
things shaped up for the handling of
your tobacco later on when the mar
kets open. I have put it up to the
trade as you will observe from read
ing a letter that I wrote the Editor of
the Southern Tobacco Journal which
all the trade gets, as this is strictly a
trade journal.
I want to advise the tobacco grow
ers to not save the burnt lugs this
time. Pull them off and throw them
upon the ground. I (o not want to be
misunderstood either. I (1o not mean
not to save your lugs I mean to throw
awayf the burnt trash and thereby
make it possible for your lugs to be
clean and clear of burn. I fully be
lieve this 'would pay every year, with
mighty few exceptions. In fact I have
advocated this. You have more of
this kind of stuff than usual with a
poor prospect of it being a paying
project to gave it. I believe you will
get a fair price for your ripe, clean
tobacco. There isn't arry over produc
tion of good tobacco, but there is
worlds of common stuff unsold. This
condition is largely caused by the
lack of normalcy in Europe. This is
also the trouble with the cotton situa
tioni I think.
This lack of normalcy doesn't only
apply to Europe but to this country
as well to a certain extent. You can
make more money out of tobacco by
making it clean and good with ten
leaves to the stalk than with fifteen
of sorry trashy stuff. Keep it well
suckered and wornied and make a good
quality. For this certainly will he
the time when quality I think will
count a good deal. I (o not want to
appeal dictorial but the tendaney of
some fairmers are to quit plowing their
tobacco too quick. Some of the best
growers, like Mr. F. E. DuBose, plow
their tobacco after it is topped off,
and especially will this be necessary
this year since the tobacco got stunt
ed during the cold and dry weather
and had to be topped in many in
stances when it was too low. The
second growth will not hurt where it
did not get the first growth, suckers
one on the top should be turned out
where it has been topped too low. My
experience which has been a long one
in tobacco here and most everywhere
else throughout tobaccodlom has
always been that the nman who tried
to make the best success of his to
bacco generally was paid best for his
efforts.
I am writing this because I am sin
cerely interested in the welfare of the
tobacco grower of this county. I have
tried in the past to be of the best pos
sible service to you all, my mistakes
whatever they may have been, are
known to you aill. My position in the
tobacco business enables me to get a
line on the best results by coming
in contact with the whole situation,
I can then see where the (defects arie.
I hope you will make gopdl crops, and
that you will patr'onIze your home
market, Manning. We will have the
usual full corp of buyers; just as5 gooid
as anywhere in the State. So when
the ma rket opens sell your tobacco in
Manning, roadis 'have beeni ando are
being built from every dIirectioni lead
ing into Manning.
Ihere's hoping you miay have a sue
cessfuil year.
Rhspect fully,
R{. I). Cothrant.

National Capital in the samne atmos
phere that is breathedl by our learned
statesmen, diplomats, hot air artists
and philosophers. I certainly hope
this association) of tobacco men that
will gather on'this occasion from all
parts of tobaccodom throughout the
United States wvill loo0k deeplly into
the present shadow that has en
throned itself upon the lap of fair
prices andl normalcy. Of course any
one with commn'on sesne knows the to
bacco associat ion cannot fix prices or
bring about. normaicy. But the as
sociation (can1 look well into the con
dlitions that exist and try to find the
remedly we needl most, and then it, will
lie up to the tobacco people to put it
into execution.

plants worse in many places than we
ever saw it before. The cold weather
had a tendency as every tobacco m.n
k liows to harden the plant causing it
to button too low, and the second
ilace had a tendency to burn it. We
have had rains in the last week in
man1Y sections, and tobacco is coaling
iout soime, but just to what extent it
will recover is problemiatical. The
farimiers economi'ized considerably any
way in tihe use of commercial fertili
zers., anld with these other fitings that
I have mentioned I can not, see now
how we can have over fifty per cent
of last year's crop. I have recently
heard from the warehousemen at Lake
City, and Kingstree, and these gentle
nien seei to think we will have about
forty per vent of a crop. At one time
I was sure ve would have a good crop
this year as the farmers were lucky
enioughi to largely get their tohaceco
ransplanted in A piil which'i is the pro
jiir Limae to pilanit ini South Carol inn.
I bel ieve the qual ity will he bet tei
with those thiiat are fortunate enough
to growv a good plant than last year.
My observation dIown here has always
heen thait wvhen the pilant laid a hard
tme to develop and grow slowly it
miade a better quality. 1 do( nt tin ik
ile farmiers' co-operatLive miovement
will (ffect the movinig of the( crop in
thlis State this time, I blieve if t hey
are pai rI easonablle prices thait Lihis
mlovemlen t willI not take imuchi root ini
South Carol ina-t he farimer in Lthis
State isn't unreasoinale in his de
mands, the eiverage farmer . is
thoroughly familiar with the working
of d ifferent associat ioins, he has gone
into them repeatedlly to protect hiim
self against low priced cotton, and
nine times out of tea he has been the
Ilooser thierebiy. The farmer that has
listened to politicians, of wvhich we as
a State, have thle disgrace of possess
ing possibly as many or more thani
an~y otheir State in the South, has
always lost. We have some cotton
agitator price-fixers that. are endliowed
wvith a propihetic v'ision, with heing
able to dispel tile gloom andl mist and
there'tby look with the eye oIf tile eagle
so to speak dlown thle dim vista of
time into the very belly oif hellies.
This class of fellows reminds me of
the lies that were told by the Repub
lican party last fall in discussing nor
nmalcy. I must stop I dho inot want to
get started on this subject as one
couldI write a book about them and
not, even be able to touch upon half of
the camplaignl lies that were told, and
the promises for a speedly normaley.
I hope wve wvill realize fair prices for
our1 South Carol ina~ tob~acco this time.
Our farmiers needl it. The companies
hlave a goodl cihance to get the well
wishes of the South Carolina tobacco
grower by doing the reasonable thing
at this needled time.
Respectfully,
R. D. Cothran.
WELLS AND WHITE'SIDE
TRIP TO ALABAMA
Leaving Manning on Sunday morn
ing at 5:10, June 12th, Mlessrs. Con
nor Wells and W. C. Vhiteside started
on a thre day motor trip to Craw
fordsville, Ala., to visit for ten days
l with Mr. Whiteside's people.
On Sunday two hundred miles was
covered and they spent the night in
Thompson, Ga. Monday about. two
hundred mnd sixty miles Were covered,
going from Thompson, Ga., to Oxford,
Ala. This trip was made in a Fliver
with Mr. Whiteside acting as chauf
feur and quoting Mr. Wells who said,
"The Fliver was o. k. and the chauf
feur-well lie was the best yet."
The roads they traveled over were
ine, ninety-five per cent of them as
good as our macadam streets. Mr.
Wells said that after passing Cam
den, South Carolira affords as good
roads as any covero'i anywhere on the
way. He said that the road 'through
the Red Hills of Georgia were perfect
and the rate of speed they traveled
was just as fast as a Fliver can carry
you.
At Crawford, Ala., where they
spent ten days, they visited Liberty
Hall, the former home of Alexander
11. Stevep, vice president of t'ie Con
federacy. This place is a very pretty
place and is well kept up.
Mr. Wells says that this is a
mountaineous country, but in the val
ley they raise cotton. As to the boll
weevil question the farmers there say
that the only thing they find that
helps them get rid of any of these
pests is to pick up the squares anl
ourn them once a week. The crops
elr-e are very backward, the cotton
is about half the size of ours and the
corn is hardly half the size. The far
mers there say that if they have a hot
dry July they will make half a crop
of cotton. In addition to the boll wee
vil they have a beetle that is eating
up all kinds of beans and peas. Still
the people are not crying hard times
there as much as the people here are.
Another thing Mr. Wells said he no
ticed was that when the country peo
ple came into town they never came
cmpty-haided, but always had a coop
of chickens and vegetables in their
wagons, to sell.
This place is an industrial center as
well as a farming center. In and
around Crawfordsville there are seven
steel mills and six cotton mills.
On the return trip Mr. Whiteside
and Mr. Wells came through Coving
ton, Ga., the place Williams made
famous when he drowned the thirteen
negroes in the creeks that are on each
side of the town.
Every little town that they passed
there had a Confederate monument in
the intersection of the main street.
MI'. Wells said the thing that im
pressed hi m most on this .journey was
Stone mountain, eight miles out of
Atlanta. This is a solid rock, 1,000
feet. high and seven miles around the
base. Th is could he seen about twen
ty-five miles before you get to it. The
owner of this has donated this nioun
tain of rock to the DauIghters of the
Confederacy and they have made a
contract with a sculptor to carve an
army formation on the smooth side
of it at a cost of two million dollars.
The route these men took led from
Manniing to Ca mdeii, on to Columbia
then to Augusta, Ga., and then to At
lanta. After they passed through
('arrollton, Ga., they left. the ma in
high way and took the mounta in road.
. Wells said the ten days ended
soonier thtian he wished for the people
imAlbaimt were so hospit'ble that it
made the tieii pas'; Too qu!ick. Ile
sa id the only trouble they had was
whilt passing hirough Atlanta when
the sIark plug gave them just a little
trouble and they oily killed two chick
n:- a red I(Iooter aid a plymouth
rock heu. They thought they were
iml for troible- when the r'ed roost'er
wa.Is killed but mi:n:'ged to escap'.
