P MENTION MADE OF MATTERS OF MAJOR AND MINOR MOMENT-LAKE CITY LEADSIN TOBACCO. Lake City, August 4:?Dr D Rollins, now of Baltimore, is here on a visit to friends and relatives. He expects to be in this section about three weeks. The friends of Dr Rollins and of his father, the late Mr R D Rollins, will be pleased to know that he is doing well in his new J home. 9^ Judge Green and Mr S W Gowdy returned Friday night HB from their trip out West. They ^B report a very much enjoyed jaunt. rTbe printers by changing- the word "rods'' into "roads" in our item of last week about the two wanderers, turned a clear expression into meaningless jargon. Mr A A Brown,from his home at Leo. sent the writer some apples last week which were, in the opinion of all who saw them, ^? exceptionally fine country apples. The largest measured 13i inches in circumference and weighed 15 ounces, only one ounce less than a pound. They were greenish white with pink stripes. In a note accompany-J ing the apples Mr Brown stated ! that the ones sent were not J much larger than quite a lot or others he had. It would be bliss to spend a month with him when ^ nrvnla /Inmn.

From that H date up to the night of July |^F 31 seven hundred and thirty three thousand pounds had been sold on the floors of our three warehouses. Of course no other market in the State handled any thing like as much in the same time, with the possible exception of Mullins, and we are reliably informed that even Mullins fell below these figures. The tobacco is coming here from ^ all sections: Clarendon, Florence Sumter and Williamsburg furnishing the bulk. And prices are good, too. Of course very Hjtt little can be expected for poor, HV trashy primings, but even this stuff sells and anything like good tobacco commands good prices. Several farmers have sold their entire crop in bulk m at net prices exceeding a hundred dollars per acre. Mr J E Godwin gave us some f fine samples of syrup Monday, PEOPL W; Of course they are from nis < i crop of last year. He tested the i new method of preserving- the 1 syrup b}r sealing it up in bottles and one of the bottles given us contained ribbon cane syrup 1 and another Japanese canesyr- ] up, both filled with syrup hot i from the evaporator and sealed. 1 On opening the bottles the con- i tents were found as fresh and 1 pnre as when first poured there- 1 in. The third bottle was filled i from a barrel put up in the usual way. Comparing this syr- j up with that from a sealed bottle , the superiority of the sealed is ] very apparent. Mr Godwin plan- 1 ted one hundred and fifty stalks J of the Japanese cane. From j the patch he got forty-four { gallons of syrup and put up i eleven hundred stalks for seed. WLB ? THE FARMERS' SUPPLY CO. ' I Somethioa About One of Klngstree's i Largest Mercantile Houses. One of the largest mercantile houses?both as to the building and the volume of business done ?is the Farmers' Supply Co. This building, which was completed and ready for occupancy January 1, 1907, is a solid brick structure, two stoiies high, dimensions 63x100 feet. The lower floor is divided by a partition wall into two stores, one 30x100 feet, being a wholesale j and retail grocery store and the j other.25xl00feet. contains an up- ] to date line of hardware. The j immense room overhead is used j for storage purposes and is con- j nected with the stores below j by an elevator, which will soon < be installed. The lot is large and roomy, which is a distinct advantage in a business of this kind, there being a double driveway 14 feet wide and also stalls and hitching room for the accommodation of the public. Convenient to the railroad and buying in car-load lots the " i O 1 f-\ - r armers ouppiy v>u. &cu> iuta bottom prices and the cost of handling- the goods is reduced to a minimun, there being large double doors wherever needed. The building was constru cted with an eye to comfort and convenience. The Farmers' Supply Co is a joint stock company, backed by some of our county's strongest business men, the officers being, Messrs Hugh McCutchen, president, and HE Montgomery, manager. Mr Montgomery is the active head of the concern and his exceptional business ability, with his characteristic "V This space b F'S MERC A atch for their fal Avvv, 'fAAMMAMAAMAMAA. \ energy and tact,eminently qualifieshim for the responsible position he holds. The hardware de- Ji partment is in charge of Mr E E'sc King. Mr King is an experienced M hardware man and his pleasing H personality has gained him te many friends since he has cast r31 his lot in our town. Both depart- a ments are succeeding nicely aqd Ik the coming season is expected th to show a big increase in business unless all signs fail. M A Boon to Elderly People.
