KINGSTREE S TOBACCO ^fARKET
Tobacco men from Virginia, Kentucky
and North Carolina are coming
into Kingstree almost daily now for
the purpose of sizing up -our market J
facilities. They are unanimous in the
opinion, and dont hesitate to express
14 k"~" VintrcfrMk now haa the
It UCIV* VUMV
best epuipped market in the State."
We have long believed this, but have
had to cencede the near-sightedness
pn the part of a few others who were
not as kindly disposed towards Kingstree,
in a general way, and consequently
could not be so generous in
this particular.
Our citizens have constantly kept
apace with the needs of the market
As the production of the weed has
been gradually increased by our farmers,
likewise have warehouses and
packing houses been constructed and ,
enlarged to meet the demands, and
when the market opens here next
month there will be in operation three
?f the largest and best equipped sales
warehouses in the entire tobacco belt
Begardless of the obstacles placed by
, labor and material shortage upon all
kinds of construction work, our citizens,
those directly interested in the
tobacco business, late in the fall of
1919, or early this spring, set to work
to enlarge their places and to provide
a much needed redrying plant, all of
which they have well nigh accomplished.
The Nelson warehouse has
been enlarged by several thousand
feet of additional floor space and oth
erwise improved and modernized.
The Kellahan warehouse, since
last season purchased by Mr. W. T.
Wilkins, has been practically made
over, as has also the Gorrell. now
known as the Farmer's warehouse,
with Mr. M. R. Gass as manager.
Mr. Wilkins has built an extensive
addition to the old Kellahan house,
which gives the plant several thousand
feet of additional floor space,
which is of concrete. The old Gorrell
has been added to until it now
fronts on Main street as well as on
Nelson, with a main entrance at either
end. The Main street front occupies
the site where formerly stood
the DiaCKSmiul ana geuei tu [cpaii
hop of W. M. Vause and Sons. So,
with these greatly enlarged warehouses,
equipped with modern appliances
for the handling of the weed,
and each one manned and operated by
a force of experts from Virginia, Kentucky,
and the old North State, is
there any reason why Kingstree
should not be pronounced the best tobacco
market in the State, as the
gentlemen above referred to have unhesitatingly
and unequivocally re'
marked.
And this is not all. Within the
past few months, a large redrying
plant has been erected and will be
equipped with the most modern mamoHo
irw th<? nurnose. and I
ready to function when the lastj pile
is sold at the opening sale next month.
There will be a side track to the big
front doors of the plant and ample
force and equipment will be ready to
take care of whatever tobacco the
larger buyers may wish to redry and
pack for future use.
It is, we presume, generally
known by our readers that the tobacco
sold here on the warehouse floors
has heretofore been packed in hogs
heads and sent off as hurriedly as possible,
to some place where it could be
worked over, redried, cured and
packed so that it might then be laid
away for indefinite future use. This
condition may be brought about hereafter
right here en the ground, and
ample storage room will be found
ally added to his storage and packing
houses and, briefly, the condition
of the market this season will be .the
best in its history. It has taken
brains, work and untiring effort to
bring about this condition, but all
these and the other essential?money?have
been supplied, and those who
are to realize the greatest benefits
from it all are the farmers who raise
tobacco and sell it in Kingstree.

$200,000 have been spent for the irtt?
provements made on the market here
since last season. Of course, those
who have financed the operations are
not prompted by charitable or eleemosynary
motives. They expect in
the coures of time, that their investments
will t>e profitable, but it will
bo years. Those who sell tobacco
here will be the first to profit by
what has been expended on the market
by warehousemen and public
spirited citizens. %
AS IT SHOULD BE
'
There was a time, and not long
ago, when a move on the part of
Florence County citizens tending to
the establishment of new county
lines by cutting off of Williamsburg
aroused bitter resentment among
many of our citizens not directly affected.
In fact, so strong was their
dudgeon four years ago that a move
was defeated at an election held for
the purpose. On July 13 there will
be another election for the purpose
of annexing some Williamsburg territory
to Florence County. A proclamation
over the signature of Governor
Cooper ordering and directing
such an election and defining the territory
to be taken from Williamsburg
has been running in The County Rec- ord
for several weeks, and a notice of
election is now running with the appointment
of managers at severals ;
polls where the voters are directly
interested, over the signatures of the
Election Commissioners of this county.
Not a single objective have we heard
from any source regarding the election,
and it would seem that the whole
proceeding is being carried through
as a mere matter of form, or else our'
people are convinced of their error
and intend to remain "hands off."
But Isaiah tells us that "the wolf
shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid."
Thia is as it should be.
