WILLIAMSBURG TOBACCO.
Mr.. L. 3. Roper Sells Largest Lot ot
Tobacco Ever Brought to Florence.

Florence, Dec.10. - Probably
the largest lot of tobacco that has
ever been pat on one of the local
markets at one time by. one man
was put al this market today by
Lauren B Roper Of Single.
Mr. Roper came in last night
with nine two-horse wagon loads
of the weed, a regular procession.
The tobacco weighed up 12,50O
pounds. All grades were includ-
ed in the lot, and he sold for a
clear average all round of s cents
per pound, which was thought to
have been a good sale.
Mr. Roper planted Is acres OF
the weed this year, and sold the
most of his crop on the Florence
market. He still has about 1000
pounds of his crop on hand, which
he says he will place OH the market
next week. MIR Roper is one OF
the largest planters in Williams
burg, and he makes money at the
business. He is methodical and
systematic IN his business, which
is the secret of his success.
"Does farming payW is no
longer question with Mr. Roper.
In addition to cash receipts from
his money crops, he raises enough
food siuffs to supply all his de-
mands. His success is but an
evidence Of what industry and
enterprise can accomplish.-Col-
umbla State, De-. II.
