( HARDW WKolesale and ?A T3BACCO MARKET LOOKING UP. Quality Greater tai Quality Better-Look Out for Speculator*. While ike comparative statement published this week places Kingstree down on the list,the season is young I yet?baraky begun,in fact?And conditions heae are growing brighter every dayMr L T Walker, the local representative of .the A T Co, told a repi resentative <tf The Record yesterday | that he sees ao reason w ly our .market should not equal in qquality th$ nmmmt snl/i .hprp last vear desDite the short crop *11 over the country. ' Tobacco men sii agree that Kingstree is the centre of a tobacco-growing region secand to none in the State and there is a splendid opportunity to build upa market that will e^ual any in the Pae Dee section. The crop in this section is from two to four weeks behind the regular time and the good quality tobaccs has only within the past week or two begun to come in. The offerings ane improving d^Ry and we are informed that about 150,000 pounds of tobacco has been sold here within the past week ? more than was handled all told up to that time. The buyers here are anxious to please and the warehousemen guarantee absolute satisfaction in every respect. Good quality tobacco is bringing better prices than last year; the crop in this State is 3,000,000 pounds behind as compared with last season. We are told that there are certain speculators going out among the farmers offering to buy their product in the barn, or even in the field. These people are trying to get the farmer to let them shar? the profit of his hard-earned toil. If the farmer will think for a moment, he will see that no one could buy his tobacco in this way except at a price below its actual worth. These speculators sell the tobacco to the regular buyers and pocket the profit?why shouldn't the farmer cut out the middleman, the speculator, and get the run value or nis product?every cent his tobacco is worth? We are now adding a Hardware department and will soon be in shape to serve you in this line.

Aw*y back yonder in 1893-4, we published in the People's Party Paper some details of Congressional expenditures which made a deep im; pressien on the public mind of that j day. Recently the magazine writer, Arthur J Street, has been handling the same material in Success Magazine. Here's what our friend Stockard, of Tennessee, says about it ; it his paper: "Well, if this doesn't beat the 1 devil^ Here are -some of the things that have been found to have been paid for at puhlic expense, by our ! Congressmen at Washington voting ; themselves an allowance of $125 a (year extra for stationery: Playing cards, (including whist and bridge sets) poker chips, pocketbooks and purses, shears and scissors, hand bags, suit cases, souvenir bags, pass , cases, nail clips, files and brushes, manicure sets, safety razors (with 1 ektra blades), matches, wedding an , nouncements, cards, post-card albums, photograph envelopes, cuff cases, button box, glove stretcher cigar lighter, ash tray, opera bags, j quinine pills, listerine, peroxide of hydrogen, pepsin, witch hazel, cough drops, ammonia, smelling salts, antikamnia, Jamaica ginger, vaseline, iolive oil, court plaster, seidlitz powders, bromo seltzer. Who would have thought that in addition to the $7,000 a year fat salary we pay them, we would be buying the above thingsifor our Congressmen, their wives and daughters? It's not the most monumental, perhaps, but it's the nerviest piece of graft that has been uncovered in quite a while. We are indebted to Arthur I. Street, writing in 'Success' for June,for the .expose."? a Jeffertonian. Staggers Skeptics. That a clean, nice, fragrant compound like Bucklen's Arnica Salve will instantly relieve a bad burn, cut, scald, wound or piles, staggers skeptics. But great cures prove it's a wonderful healer of the worst sores, ulcers, boils, felons, eczema, skin 'eruptions, as also chapped hands, sprains and corns. Try it. 25c at M L Allen's.

John Shea, or Shay, committed sui cide Monday nisrhti bv cuttmcr his : throat with a razor. The body was found Tuesday morning about 7 ' o'clock and Magistrate Baldwin of Lake City held an inquest later on the same day.
