day Following Day
Florence, S. C., July 23.?A meeting
,of the tobacco interest of the
state was held in the Court Hou-r
at Florence, as a result of a number
of markets having called up the secretary
of the South Carolina Tobacco
Association and urged him that
in view of the utter dissatisfaction
of the tobacco growers over the state
that a meeting be arranged immediately.
Several markets were
then called and notified of the request
of certain markets for a meeting
and as a result some eight or
ten markets were represented at this
meeting. Some delegations brought
in reports of such bad feelings in
sections of the state against the
present low prices, and it makes some
of our citizenship feel apprehensive
as to what might happen in some localities
unless people are brought to
understand fully all conditions. In
many sections the feeling is very
keen against the large tobacco interest.
After full and frank discussions
by farmers, bankers, warehousemen
and business men in general
from a number of leading markets
in the state, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted,
having been offered by Mr. E. C. t
Epps of Kingstree: c
Whereas, citizens representing various
tobacco markets in South Caro- \,
lina, called together in mass meet- n
ing by the Secretary of the Tobac- |i
co Association by request of certain f
local markets for the purpose of dis- ?
cussing the prevailing conditions of n
thn uresent markets and the nrice*
offered thereon, after due delibera c
tion and thought do hereby resolve h
and recommend the following suit- C
gestions as the only practical means
and methods whereby more uniform >i
and more satisfactory prices may he t
obtainod: t
1st. We recommend that farmers i
devote their best efforts toward har '
vesting and curing only better grader *
of tobacco and that the same b"
cleaned and picked before being of f
fered for sale on the warehouse 1
floors. p
2nd. That all such tobacco re "
ceiving bids less than (this price t" =*
be determined next -Friday) to be n
withheld from sale and be used a "
fertilizer upon the farm on which
grown. i
3rd. We recommend that thwarehousemen
of the state refrair
from bidding upon offers for sal
unless at least one bid is made I
an autnonzed buyer not enjrajreM i' I
ot in any way connected with th I
warehouse business.
4th. That the Warehousemen* j"
Association ho and is herchv request '
ed to call a meeting of ill ware
housemen in South Carolina to he ca'1
ed to meet in Florence on Saturdav <
July $Oth, and at this time the said 1
Association together with a com <
mitfee, which wi'l he appointor! fron i
the Growers' Association which meet
in Florence on Friday, .Tnlv 20, wi''
fix a hiinimum price at which an*
tobacco will he permitted to sell ir
this state. That it is the sense or
this mooting that the farmer 1
throughout the* state be encourage'1 '
as far as possible to withhold sale f
of tobacco from the warehouc- 1
floors until after the m*?otin*r of fh
state growers' Association on Fr;
day and the meeting of the Toba**
co Warehousemen's Association o '
Saturday on the 29th and 30th rr i
spectively.
Definite action as to what is best y
to do after this week will ho deter '!

Beginning early last week the c
on way tobacco market had the a<l i
antage of one strong independent I
uyer, and he did not fail to buv a
lore than the representations of the '
Id companies, on most of the re
pnt sales on the warehouse floor- ^
Warehousemen were glad to have |
im on the market and admitted as
uich.
The sales began on Tuesday of
ist week and there were sales at
11 of the warehouses every day cxept
Saturday. 1
So far this year there has no, 1
een the crowding that took place fit (
he warehouses last year and yea I
efore. Several things may be re *
ponsible for this difference. On" 1
iiing is fhe fact that the acreage x
'as evidently greatly reduced, and f
nother is the lateness of the seasons v
wing to the long dry spell of|;
feather and the belated rains, that r
ollowed.
Last year and year before it
cemed that a majority of the farmrs
were ready to sell, if possible. N
efore the warehouses were open for *
he product. This year it appear* (
hat even where the tobacco was '
eady to be brought to market" the *
rowers have been slower than usual }
n bringing it.
The prices realized, of course can '
ot be satisfactory, unless they wore 1
igher; and by the way there has ,
ever been a time when everybody
/as satisfied even when the prices
f the weed were at their highest in

* the lowness of the grade produc- !
d in many individual cases. Soni"
rowers have not yet had enough
xperience to be able to pick and
ure the tobacco in the right way. !
n many an instance the growth of* !
he tobacco has been fine and it look
