I more flour-
„ Fntt details
^"this market hare
i their place in the News and
rtar from time to time, and
’ the more important facts
be here referred to.
8. Jamea is the well-
: president of the Darling-
County Tobacco Growers’
Association, and the following
facts are ffiTen by him. The
acreage in Derlingion County
last year was 3,865 and this
year not less than 5,000 acres
will be planted. The yield for
the season just past was one
thousand pounds per acre and
this was under the disadvan
tagee of a dry and unusually
trying seasqn. '
Mr. Robert
^ <Meston School.
Hairston, local
representative of the great
American Tobacco Company
and chairman of the sales com
mittee of the Tobacco Sellers’
Association, is well posted, ac
curate, and is a fine all around
tobacco man. It is Mr. Hair
ston’s duty to regularly exam
ine the books of the tobacco
wan bouses here, and he in
forms me that on November
last the sales aggregated over
one million pounds. This same
authority thinks an estimate of
about four million pounds for
this county quitea conservative
one, and is satisfied that it will
not be lees than this amount
Mr. Hairston is from old tobac
co-growing countries, but says
that the trades and general av
erage seen here, at this market,
fully equal, if they do not sur
pass, those of the best tobacco
growing sections of Virginia
and North Carolina. For cut
ters and smoking tobacco we
are ahead of Virginia and equal
to the country where the famous
“Duke” and “Durham” brands
are mown and manufactured.
Mr. Hairston has no doubt but
that the total sides of this mar
ket to date are not less than
two million pounds and how
well this estimate was made,
figures, further on will establish.
Three years ago the first to
bacco ware house was built
here and small sales were held
at the opening season of a home
market. The next year every
thing was more satisfactory,
the sales increased to most re
spectable proportions and over
300 per cent in actual sales alone
marks the present business of
the Darlington market. The
books of the two ware houses
here show that 2,000,000 pounds
of tobacco have been sold and
paid for to date and fully one-
third of the crop remains yet
unsold. The average price for
ail grades was 9i cents per
pound and f >r classified leaf
grades 10 centd per pound is a
safe and accurate average.
The fine good^, such as lemon
and mahogany wrappers, sold,
referring to legitimate, every
day sales, at from 25 to 65 cents
per pound. At the end of this
season the increase in actual
sales over those of last year
will be over 300 per cent, and
any further remark as to the
safe establishment of a home
market here is entirely unnec
essary. Two large and very fine
ware houses are here, five priz
eries that would be considered
large and commodious even in
Danville, and complete facilities,
well organized and flourishing,
mark every condition of the to
bacco business. The Darling
ton Tobacco Manufacturing
Company is here and they
are very large buyers on this
market. Their goods have giv
en universal satisfaction and
General Manager I. S. Burch
tells me that duplicate ordors
are coming in regularly on
their leading brands.
Some proofs may be wanted
by those who have not kept
posted, and so, for this consid
eration alone, 1 give the follow
ing comparisons: I went to the
two manufacturers of tobacco
hogsheads here and, without
stating my purpose, asked how
many hogsheads had they sold
this season. The two combin
ed had bold over 3.100, with a
capacity of 1,000 pounds each.
This makes a total of over three
million pounds for this market,
not including what the planters
have shipped to other points.
Mr. Frank Pegues, the local
railroad agent here, told me
• that a great deal had been ship
ped by the farmers, and while I
> was ip bis office five three-horse
wagon loads drovefttp to unload
for shipment. Two carloads
had been shipped by two plant-
eis dunng the past week, and
id addition to this, many buy-
had several hundred
■ads sent to them by their
counties, ita encouraging proces
sion, drove up to the ware
housed this afternoon.” The
“piles” of tobacco, when sold
on the ware house floors, are all
numbered, and I found that
the combined numbers of this
market aggregated 27,613
These piles represented certain
K nds of tobacco, and at both
sea thousands of these lots
weighed from 100. to 500 pounds.
The largest number of pounds
in these lots at one ware house
ran from 800 to 1,360 pounds.
At the other these outside
weights ranged from 8Co 1,000.
1.500 and so on, reaching a
highest point of 2,810 pounds.
I only selected Darlington tor
these proofs because I was here
more familiar with all the
sources of information and could
be sure of their accuracy and
correctness.
Bankers, merchants and
planters, who have interested
themselves in the tobacco busi
ness practically and intelligent
ly, were all interviewed by me
and their views are given below.
There was no dissenting voice,
as the remarksbelow will prove.
1 did not meet one who was not
thoroughly impressed with the
great prospects of the business,
nor did I see one who was not
as thoroughly convinced of
the great oppbrtunitieb it pre
sen ted. So far from trying to
secure striking examples here
I have had to leave out much
that was saidln the same 'strain
is here published. I only
interviewed prominent business
men, those who were well
known and whose opinion would
add weight to this subject.

us from Lincoln. Neb , as fol
lows: “After trying other medi
cines for what seemed to be a
very obstinate cough in our two
children we tried Dr. King’s
New Discovery and at the end
of two days the cough entirely
left them. We will not be with
out it hereafter, as our exper
ience proves that it cures where
all other remedies fail.”—Sign
