Enters Association Announcement is made that the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse, of P Bamberg, has entered the Tri-State P Tobacco Growers association, along P with a great many other warehouses tl in this state, Virginia and North M Carolina. The number of tobacco o* warehouses now signed up in the ii tobacco association is more than half ei the total number in operation in p; South Carolina. n: The tobacco association has taken tl a grip on tbe marketing or tooacco si in this state and other tobacco states, d The plan of marketing through the rr tobacco association varies to a large h extent from the system that has been 1 in operation in the past; does away tl with t?e system of selling to the d highest bidder regardless of the price a offered, and bids fair to revolution- cl iez the tobacco industry. It has been realized for some years fc that the system of tobacco selling E was not business like, and it has G been demonstrated time and again d that fluctuations in prices of tobacco on local markets were not in many c< instances justified. It is a well es- 0 tablished fact that tobacco knocked w down one day at one price may be d again sold the following day at a far D different price, sometimes nearly double. B It is to get away from this system ci that the tobacco association has been organized. Many of the largest tobacco warehouses in the state have signed up in the association. There will, of course, still be some ware- s* houses that will sell tobacco as in the *a past, but it is a saTe prediction that w with half of the state's warehouses u in the -hands of the tobacco associa- 3 tion, the association is going to ex- n< ert a powerful and salutary influence ai on the price of the weed this year and following years. ~ EHRHARDT TEAM WINS. = w Successfully Argue Against Walter- ? boro I>ebaters. ?_ d( b* Walterfooro, April 5.?Debaters _ representing Ehrhardt High school won the preliminary debate over the P debaters representing the Walter- ? boro High school Monday evening at the high school auditorium.

Walterboro had the affirmative side of the question and Ehrhardt the ^ negative. John Walker and Mrs. ? Margaret Warren represented Wal- terboro, while Eugene Brabham and Hildegard Dannelly were Ehrhardt's representatives. Many interesting d points were made by each side, but ~~ the judges, Mr. Rankin, of the Pres- a] byterian church, County Superin- tc tendent Strickland and Ivey A. T Smoak, decided by a vote of 2 to 1 in favor of the negative. ai Walterboro's negative debaters, (' Riddick Ackerman, Jr., and Miss Ber- Jf nice Corbett, who went to Ehrhardt, were also defeated by the Ehrhardt ;Wi debaters.
