Lake City's Tobacco Market

The full page advertisement
this week exploiting Lake City's
- tobacco market speaks for itself.
From a small beginning Lake
City has gradually grown to be
one of the leading markets in
South Carolina for. the "Golden
Weed" and this season, We learn,
up to this time, she actually leads
all other markets in the number
of pounds OF tobacco sold on her
warehouse floors. The three ware
houses are in the hands of expe-
rienced and competent tobacco
men, who by square dealing, cor
rect methods aud, withal, an eye
single to the best interests OF
their patrons, have gained the
confidence of tobacco growers,
not only in Williamsburg, but al
so adjoining counties, and all IN
dicatious point to this as the ban
ner season IN the history of Lake
City's tobacco market.
Lake City has been peculiarly
fortunate for several years IN
having a number of buyers VI
ways on hand, so that every pile
of tobacco sold brings The limit
price. The American Tobacco
Co. is represented by L. 0. Hol-
loway, the Imperial Tobacco 70.
by L. A. Winston, and W. 5.
Moore is strong competitor as
an independent buyer. There are
q number of other buyers on the
floor during the season, but the
above are the old "stand-bys.
Such a spirit of enterprise as
is shown by Lake City is highly
commendable and not single
pound of tobacco grown In Will
liamsburg county should be sold
before giving our home market
trial.
All roads lead to Lake City
and the warehousemen guarantee
full value for every pound of to-
bacco brought to that market.

gradually lose the shape OF
corn, becoming more and more
rounded and each surrounded
by Il constantly rising covering
until .ilal'y the point OF the
ear terminates in a perfect head
of wheat. This is nc, mere re
senblance, but it is true wheat.
There appears no satisfactory
explanation of the phenomenon.
No wheat was planted with the
corn and there is no growing
wheat within miles. Col Hall
las gathered from the same
patch several ea-S having the
same wheat and corn as above
described. This incident seems
to indicate that wheat may be
made to grow on an ear, and
such thing would be very val.
liable. In the hands of Luther
Burbank, complete revolution
| in the cultivation of wheat
might be effected from this Gu
rious corn wheat.
Referring to the item in the
Lake City correspondence last
week with regard to the death
of Ben Lee we wish to say some
thing further about this matter.
The account as given was based
on the statements brought here
Monday, the 9Th inst. Since
then we have talked with men
who live near the scene and at.
tended the inquest. From these
men it appears that there are
two entirely different opinions
as to the cause of young Lees
death. One of these has already
been given publicity: the other
is that the young ma n was foul
ly dealt with. From the latter
point of view a number of cir
cumstances connected with the
affair seem suspicious. AS it is
more than probable that the in
quest will not close investiga-
ton, but that an effort will be
made to air the matter in the
courts, we shall not attempt to
detail the circumstances which
is claimed justify this view that
there was human agency in the
tragedy, but only state thatit
would be wise for the public to
suspend judgment until further
developments are disclosed.
The Farmers & Merchants
Bank moved into it's new

ness at that stand. The build

from an architectural point of
