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

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.
Look at the label on your paper and
see when your subscription expired;
if you are in arrears, tie a string
around your finger as a reminder to
come in and pay up next time you
come to town. Come across, brother,
We have done our part by sending
the paper on in spite of the great increase
in the cost of its production,
and now it is up to you to do yours.
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.
The corn crop in the Carolinas,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,Tennessee,[Kentucky
and Virginia
is estimated at 601,0000,000 bushel^
against 495,000,000 bushels last
$ear,
Federal authorities have uncovered
a plot in Oregon for the wholesale
destruction of horses and cattle
by the torch and poisoning. Members
of the I W W were suspected,
and forty of them were arrested.
Potato growers of Florence county
realized $35,000 from the tubers
this season.
Curbinj The Waste.
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.

closed at 7:30 that night, with no :
intermission except one hour for

the higher grades only, and
these will have men here by the

The prices ranged from 12 to 27,
cents per pound, with a few pounds
at less than 12 cents. The average

add that this tobacco was the lowest
grade which is put on sale. It was
