Work is progressing rapidly on the
new redrying tobacco plant under construction
here by a local corporation.
The plant will be ready for use by
the time the tobacco sales open in

for the sale of tobacco are being great(ly
enlarged, they are the Gorrell and
the Wilkins, the latter being formerly
the Kellahan warehouse. It is at
piesent believed that only three warehouses
will be operated here during
the coming season, the Central having
been leased by the Kingstree Fumi|
ture Company, and used as storehouse
! for its goods. The outlook for a full
of nrocont Tint so trnnj. due
' largely to the lateness in the season in
getting out many of the plants that
were obtainable.

Kingstree Defeats Andrews 3 to 2
Kingstree defeated Andrews here
Friday afternoon in a game of baseball,
the score being three to two.
Both teams played a good game. The
features of the game were, the pitching
of Daniels for Kingstree and the
catching of McDowell. Andrews had
! a good pithcher, but he could not keep
> his opponents under control as the
1 Kingstree lad did. The game was
: close throughout, Kingstree scoring
! once in the first inning, while Andrews
scored twice in the sixth. In
thb last half of the ninth Burgess
gor a rwo-bagger; Daniels brought
him in, while Nesmith brought Daniels
in, giving Kingstree three and
! Andrews two.
The Kingstree ftam will go to Mani
ning next Tuesday, where they are
