Kingstrec's Tobacco Market Notwithstanding the almost daily rains that have frequently been more of a downpour than t mere thunder shower, the Kingstree tobacco market has held ud very appreciably. So it is inferred that the rains have not eriously interfered with farmers in gathering- and curing their crop. On e*ery sales day sir ea the opening of the market last Thursday there has been a good quantity of tobacco on the warehouse floors and at every sale the buyers were right on the spot to bid in every pile offered at what appears to be very satisfactory prices. Prices have gradually increased every day since the opening sale, when we are informed the average price per hundredweight was $16.51. At yesterday's sale the average price paid was around 522.50 per hundred. The system of handling tobacco here this season has never been more satisfactory to warehousemen and patrons. Each house has a competent, hardworking staff, and the buyers are having no trouble in getting their purchases off the warehouse floors and into their respective packing houses, where it is placed in hogsheads and in these containers placed on the depot platform for shipment to the great tobacco manufacturing centers of the country. The first week's activities on the Kingstree market have been as smooth as oil. There have been no fights, nor has the Mayor or magistrate or a policeman had a single call during the week that was occasioned by any misunderstanding or otherwise growing out of the activities or transactions on the tobacco Tho nvprnorp farmpr will luainvvt AUV - ? naturally conclude that Kingstree is a good place to bring his|tobacco. Send us your subscription as soon as possible, for our life and happiness depend on it. On some of you we have waited three long years, because we knew of your hard luck. Now you have good crops and your tobacco is bringing a high price. Won't you come in and pay up when you sell your next load? Don't keep us waiting till you sell your cotton. Our creditors want their money every thirty days; besides, we have a pay roll to meet every Saturday.

We heard a man say the other day that there is more money in the country now than ever before within his knowledge?-This is contrary to the n general belief that war times are "hard times," but it is true because of the fact that our country has been the producer and not the consumer. A season of unprecedented prosperity is upon the Sonth because of the fact that it is a producing sec- j tioai. It is predicted that cotton will bring SO cents this fall and all food atnffa will hrinc hich nricps. The farmer is the lucky man of the hour, but woe betide the salaried man this winter!?Fairfaz Citizen.

Just now housewives of the country are being deluged with advice and warnings as to waste in the kitchens. In nine families out of every ten the advice is entirely superfluous, from the fact that prices and pocketbooks fail to harmonize. Economy; was the first lesson learned by women 1 when the present era of high prices opened. There is practically no waste j in the average American home. The waste and extravagance in this I country is in the hotels, restaurants, I cafes, etc, and in the mansions of the idle rich. Intelligent economy will never be practiced in these places so long as people persist in from six to ten course meals.of which but a small fraction is actually consumed, the residue going either toj "second hand" resorts or to the swill barrel, No system of food economy ' jean be successful that permits waste | of products for no other reason than that the waster has the price.?Ex. TOBACCO SALES AT ANDREWS. Buyers ray UOOO rrices HI vrpcuwg , Last Thursday. Big Crowd Present. Andrews, July 16:?The sale of tobacco on the Andrews tobacco market on the opening day was a success in every respect. The auctioneer started the sale promptly at 11:30 o'clock and consumed the larger part of the day in selling the farmers' tobacco to buyers representing G R Hubbard, the Export Tobacco company; George Anderson, Liggett & Myers Tobacco company; A B Martin, R J Reynolds Tobacco company; C G Patterson, American ! Tobacco company; J M Irby, Impe1 rial Tobacco company; J 0 Edwards, John E Hughes Tobacco company;! | G H Henderson, J P Taylor Com-1 i pany; I M Irby, C C Bass Tobacco | , company, and G E Hendrix, with the Dibble Brothers Tobacco com! pany. The local warehouse manager, Mr Thompson, expects four more buyers to be on the floor within the next few days, representing other firms. The price paid for the tobacco was just about double what the farmers expected to receive. There were over one hundred farmers on the floor and every one left well pleased. About lorty mousana pounds of tobacco were sold, some bringing as high as 32 cents. The farmers know that if they get these prices for sand lugs, that they will get a fancy price for their best tobacco. The business men of the town are doing everything in their power for the advancement of the market and it is believed that this market will not only get what is in its territory, but get tobacco that is nearer some other makets.
