LITTLE WANTED Lower Prices of Things in General Partly Responsible? Lake City Sales. I.ast week opened up the tobac- ^ co season in South Carolina for ? 1921. It was generally thought that t the crop had been considerably cur- t tailed, for the farmers all over the 1 tobacco growing belt had been told a by experienced men, before planting s time had passed, that the year would 1 doubtless bring lower prices than \ over since long before the war. 1 In sections where the boll weevil t llJIfl (rsiiiioil !> ornA/1 fnntlinld Vw* t %% 1 WW VIIV/IM) Vttv | ? farmers were advised that it might r l?e better to plant tobacco than to t rely on cotton as a money crop, o This served to increase the amount t that has been raised this year, to S more or less extent. r In most neighborhoods it is apparent that the growers realized last n January that it would be best to r plant less acreage in tobacco than they /had been doing for the past several years, and where eight acres had been planted before, the acreape was reduced to three or four, t and where four acres had been plant- r od last year, the acreage was reduc- \ nd to at least two acres this year, )i and so on in about that proportion. Notwithstanding the warnings that were given about the prices that might be realized, and notwithstanding the lower prices of almost everything that we have to buy, there was n a general and widespread dissatisfaction expressed last week on the part of the growers in regard to the > prices paid for their product. In 1 saying this we do not confine our- i selves to Conway, or even to Horry County as a whole. It appears to bo the same at all of the markets I that are tiow open and running* At Mullins the prices were so low that a general kick went up "by a majori- ( ty of those who sold at the opening* i sales. Reports are to the same ef- i feet from every tobacco growing 1 section, and as the week advanced toward fhe end it was no better. The prices remained down about tho < same as thoy were long before the 1 xxxxxxxx.I a i S WAREH I, s. c. is, and get the benefit of a lifeti ER, Mai ?ar raised the prices of everything 1 n earth. The only possible ex- J option, to the general loud comlaint "Was perhaps the market at Ling^^ee aiylv Lake City, where it * said the / prices on the opening ales made (iin average of eleven ami | lie-half ceiits per pound. Some 'of tho tobacco offered on he markets last week was or such a jw grade that buyers would not bid n it. This was mostly a very low ;rade of sand lugs. 5USINESSPART SPREADS OUT i Conway is growing and anybody nay see it by looking. Within the ast year the business section has xtended from the main block on ho eastward side of Main Street, to he block next above it on that side. ^ True, that for many years there were already two or three stores on that 1 ide, the llorry Hardware Company ' ?eing the first to establish a busl- ' icss on that upper block; but with- ] n the past twelve months, even In he face of stringent financial times, here was the addition made of eigh* ' nore stores in what is now called lie Spivev block. Thev are now n!' ccupied and it may be truly said hat a second block on upper Main ?treet has been added to the buslicss section. In time many more blocks will bo idded to the business section of this apidly growing- town. o? Tobacco Men. We are equipped to furnish you any :ind of printed form that you need in he business.

The lot for this home was recently donated by Mr. R. G. Collins. It is nicely situated on the National Highway among other lots that will likely be used for the erection of homes.
