DANVILLE. A strong impression seems to prevail in certain quarters that the farmerq can get more for their tobacco by shipping it off to the markets of Virginia and North Carolina. We have said nothing about the matter here tofore, for the reason that we were not possessed of sufficient information concerning it to enable us to reach a correct con clusion as to the wisdom of this policy. After a careful investi gation of the subject, however, we have come to the opinion (honestly formed and candidly expressed), that those who are shipping their tobacco off to have it sold are making a mis take—a mistake which is a nat ural one, however, and which it will take time and experience to correct. The farmer who brings his tobacco to Darlington on a certain day and gets ten cents for it feels dissatisfied, perhaps, because his neighbor, whose tobacco was, to all ap pearances, the same as his, got fifteen by sending his to Dan. ville. Two or three instances of this kind passed from mouth i to mouth throughout the Coun ty, will gradually create the temporary impression that Dan ville is paying higher prices for tobacco than Darlington, the number of times when the re verse experience is true, that’s, when tobacco, apparently the same, brought more in Darling ton than in Danville, being lost sight of entirely. Time only can serve to remove this impres sion, and t» prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the man who got the higher price by shipping to Danville got it be cause his tobacco was really belter, though it might not have looked so to the inexperienced eye. Time only can show that the representations of the swarm of “drummers” from North Carolina and Virginia who are covering the face of the County like ants, and who are buying from the farmers at their homes by means of a “house-to-house canvas,” are to be taken “with a grain of salt,” There can be no doubt that, ow ing to a fortunate combination of circumstances, Darlington will, always prove one of the highest priced markets in the country. The following comparison of figures will show what a certain lot of tobacco brought on the floor of Smoot & McGill’s warehouse in Darling ton, and what it brought a few days afterwards when re soli in Danville. The comparison is doubly interesting in view of the fact that the sales were act* uol, bona fide ones in both in stances, as may be seen by re ferring to to the records on file in Smoot & McGill’s office. This is what they show: Clsrsndon Tobacco. [Manning Times ] Mr. J. Manning Lee, of the Fork section, sold in the Dar lington tobacco market last Thursday six hundred pounds of tdbacco and received an aver age of twenty-one cents per pound, and Mr. K. D. Thomp son, of the same section, on the same day sold seven bunded and twenty-five pounds and got an average of twenty and three- fourths cents per pound. Other farmers of the Fork section sold some of their tobacco in the same market on the same day. Ayer’s Hair Vigor, which has outlived and superseded hund reds of similar preparations, is undoubtedly the most fashion able as well as economical hair dressing in the market. By its use, the poorest head of hair soon becomes luxuriant and beautiful. “No man,” said the red head ed woman, sternly, “shall kiss me ’ceptin’ he’s the stronger of the two; and dear knows I’m weaker’n a cat.” $30,000.22 OUR Neglect of the hair often de stroys its vitality and natural hue, and causes it to fall out.
