TOBACCO MARKETING Open Forum for Expres sions for or Against Co operatjve Marketing Editor Manning Times: I promised the Independent tobacco growers in your last issue to let them know this week, what I would do this year about selling their tobacco; whe ther I would locate here or elsewhere. This is to notify the public that I will be in business in Manning, on the Levi block up town. I have secured twp buildings and am going to operate two warehouses 'at the same time. .While these buildings are not as ade quate from a floor space standpoint as I would like to have them, at the same time we will do the best we can We will start to build early next sea.. son so as to have ample space for the 1923 crop. These two buildings are as large as the Harris Warehouse, probably ,a little more floor space than the Warehouse operated by Messrs Harris & Sons last season here. Now boys, hurriedly I must say a few things and get busy. I shall be gin to take in tobacco by next Satur day, the twenty-second, I would ad vise everybody to handle your tobac co careful during this' wet weather. Pick out the burnt and tie your lugs up in one or two grades. This isn't hard to do, .very simple. Put twelve or fifteen leaves to the bundle for lugs, and less for better grades. I will buy or advance money on your tobacco beginning Saturday coming. Hold a stiff upper lip, and do not let any one lead you to believe that you must sign a contract in or der to sell this crop of tobacco. I will have a full corps of buyers rep resenting all the big companies. All reports to the contrary are Aibsolutely false. I expect to see toacco sell well, and remember the time is near at hand when we will test this out on a - competitative basis with our oppon ents. I for one am not afraid to meet the challenge. Do not let any one fob] you in to signing this contract by making you believe that Cothran will not carry out the above promise. If God lets me live I shall do all in my power to carry out this fight to the last trench. You will be flooded with literature on the get-rich quick scheme from now on until the opening date of the markets; you will have the' chance of hearing silver-tongued orators that are working for glory, of course, these gentlemen are actuated by patriotic motives, and are not getting any pay for their valuable services that they are rendering their fellowmen. You, will be told if you do. not join that the markets will be closed by force in a U.SU U W selE U aswSUv * Wm ill l o of buyers.

Again I say this is false to the very core. You will be told that in a few days Lake City, and all the other markets will be closed. Remem ber this is only propaganda to get your signature. I was born and rais ed in the same community with the Bowens at Lake City, I knew their father before them; he was high toned and thoroughly reliable; he was indeed a gentleman of the old school type, a man of integrity. G. R. Bow en and M. K. Gravley will carry out their promise at Like City. Any one that has any money to lose see me I will take all you can spare on this score. Don't be backward come right ahead. I mention Lake City because this is our largest market in South Carolina, and this is why they use this in knocking other places like *MENEEEEEEUEEEE. RS Will ITER, S >acco at auctioni before.

Any way, will let you know de itely later how many sales per day will have.
