J S Hugh son & Co Tbe tobacco warehouse is enjoying a pros? perous season and tbere are large sale? every day. The total amount of tobacco eold <bos far more than doubles tbe tc tal at this dat? last yeer, and there is every reason to believe that tbe total sales for tbe season will reach the million mark. Manager Hancock is a bustler ?nd bas tbe confidence ot tbe tobacco growers to an unusual degree and his name alooe is a drawiDe card. He was the pioneer warehouseman of Timmocsville and did more, it is said, to establish that market on a firm foundation than any one mao. He believes that Sumter ha3 greater advan? tages for the establishment of a great tobacco market than any other place ir tbe state and b^ is epareing no effort to utilize ibese natur? al advantages and make Sumter the leading tobacco market in the State. The progressive nations of the world are 'he great food consuming nations. Good food well digested gives strength.
