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.

HOW'S THIS?
Petty Craft ot C?nfressaen-ThMMnds
of Dollars Parlolaed.
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

X young bride who belonged to a

afraid of being slopped and rcbbed.
Her husband disliked to provide bar

"Below the belt, mind you." be ad1
Jured ber-"below the belt. Such a

man sorry quicker than anything. If
any one steps out It) front of you your

11 That night was the bride's iate eeen

took possession of him.
"Wonder If she'd really do as I told

Walking up behind bis wife, be laid a

Unknown Mill Employee Commits
Suicide Near Cades.
In a lonely strip of woods hard by'
the Wilson Lumber Co's mill near*
Cades, a man who gave his name as ?
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. The gashes indicated
that the desperate man did not N '
succeed in the first attempt and the
second time he severed both the
jugular vein and the the wind-pipe. .
Shea came to the mill about the
middle of July and had been sick
with chills and fever for several
days, but had not stopped werk. He is
described as being 5 feet lflrinches
in height with sandy hair, slightly
bald and appeared to be of Irish, extraction.
Struck a Rich Mine.
S W Bends of Coal City, Ala, says,
he struck a perfect mine of health
in Dr King's New Life Pills, for
they cured him of Liver and Kidney
trouble after 12 years of suffering.
They are the best pills on earth for
Constipation, Malaria, Headache,
Dyspepsia,Debility. 25c at M L Allen's.
