The TOBACCO GROWER
and THE "P|N-H00kER"
HOW THIS EXCRESCENCE GROWS
FAT ATTHE EXPENSE OF THE
CREDULOUS FARMER.

Florence, August 29:-The tobacco
growers of South Carolina are fac
ing problem which may seriously
affect the future Of the industry.
The raising and marketing OF tobac-
co in this State is yet in its infancy
and is confined entirely to the Pee
Dee section. Each year sees an IN
creased acreage, with corresponding
development in its cultivation and
marketing. Anything that retards
this industry will mean great loss to
the farmers, as the lands in certain
sections are especially adapted to Its
cultivation. With the agitation of
advanced ideas for handling the cot
ton crop and the organization of nu-
merous associations for this purpose
the greater part Of the people OF
the State have overlooked the culti-
walton of tobacco and have neglected
to guard the industry from the very
thin. that have caused so much ag-
itatie n in the cotton world. Growers
of tobacco and those who are inter-
ested in its successful cultivation are
facing the problem of the speculator,
bat in more complex way than the
cotton industry has ever known.
This is due in measure to the lack
of expert knowledge on the part of
the grower, as there are so many
grades and kinds of leaf tobacco, it
requires years of close study to be
able to Judge with any accuracy its
value when placed on the market.
There is no possible way for the
farmer to estimate the value of his
tobacco crop as he does the other
products of the farm; the papers
carry no quotations as to the prevail
ing market prices; the crop is placed
on the warehouse floor and the buy
ers make the prices as the auctioneer
puts it on the block. If it is good
leaf and the independents can use it,
the crop invariably brings good
price, but if is bad stock it goes for
song, as the American Tobacco
Company is about the only buyer for
all grades of leaf tobacco.
This condition makes it easy for
the small speculator to take advan-
tage of the farmer. 1t places the
farmer entirely in the hands of the
buyers on the warehouse floors and
and the country buyer better known
as the "pin-hooker.' 1t is with the
latter class that this article has to
deal, as there is always competition
on the warehouse floor. but with the
country buyer it is different.
The "pin-hooker,' y or the country
buyer, is a familiar name in the to-
bacco section; he is found on every
tobacco market, in one town to-day

sideration from those who are max
ing study Of the conditions sur
rounding the life and work of the
farmer. This is a frst-class subject
for the consideration Of the Farm
ers' Union and all other organiza-
tons that are interested in the de-
velcpment Of South Carolina along
agricultural lines. .--Ncr% Il. C0Wrter.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1910-09-01

and somewhere else tomorrow. He
may be seen trying TO buy wagon
oad OF tobacco after il has reached
the market and very often after it
has been placed on the warehouse
floor, or he may be noted driving
through the country visiting the to-
ba.co farms. endeavoring 70 buy the
crop before it has eft the barns, al
ways with the understanding that
the farmer must deliver the tobacco
to the warehouse.
The methods of the country buyer
are many; he has a different argu-
lett for each customer, but his
strong talking point is the trust and
the small chance the farmer has to
get anything like full value from
that heartless corporation; when by
selling to him a larger price is re-
ceivad because he has orders from
the independents. The fact of the
matter is, he places the tobacco
bought this way after he has graded
it, on the warehouse floor, and it is
sold as is all other tobacco. If It is
especially fine stock, it is usually
sold at private sale.
The "pin-hooker" will call on a
farmer and make him an offer. If
he is refused he raises the price and
very often offers the farmer more
than the tobacco is actually worth,
when he finds that he cannot buy.
This tobacco is taken to the market
and sold, the farmer gets less than
the "pin-hooker" offered him and
he goes home dissatisfied and think
ing that he has been robbed, When
he gets the next barn ready this
same buyer is back again and the
farmer sells at a reduced price and
loses from 10 to 25 per cent on the
sale.
This is one of the many schemes
of the "pin-hooker" to grind the
farmer out of his hard-earned prof
its and with the more uninformed
farmers it Is usually successful. One
of the most prominent tobacco men
in the South is authority for the
statement that the farmers are los
ing in South Carolina this year thou
sands of dollars through the small
speculator. He specified one market
and said he knew one man there who
would make $4,000 this year pin
hooking" tobacco. One "pin-hooker'
in another town bought quantity
of tobacco from farmer for S4OO,
carried it to the warehouse and sold
| it for 500. This is only one instanc e
of hundreds where the farmer is
being gouged and the warehouse
men are helpless in the matter and
are unable to offer any relief.
Any close observer of this condi-
ton in the tobacco section of this
State will readily understand the
handicap placed on the cultivation of
tobacco, as compared to any other
agricultural product, when it comes
to marketing it. The solution of
the problem will require grave con-

BRIEF TELEGRAMS

San Francisco.-Carefully cut from
! its place in the frame that held it,
/ while q score of persons wandered
about the other works of art, Jean
Francis Millet's famous painting, "The
Shepherd and Flock valued at $4,000,
was stolen from the art museum in
Golden Gate park Saturday morning at
about 1915 o'clock. No one saw the
daring thief remove the world-re-
nowned canvas. The police are with
out the slightest CleW in the case.
The painting is the property of
Miss Sarah NJ Spooner of this city,
who is travelling in Europe. It was
purchased by her from T. D. Trimon of
the Rue Lafayette, Paris. The canvas
is twenty-one inches by seventeen
inches in size. Two other paintings of
equal value were loaned to the art mu-
scum by Miss Spooner when THE
Shepherd and Flock was hung. They
are Dupre's Twilight" and a land,

theft was discovered he saw a poorly
dressed man Juggling a bundle from the
institution, but crowd was visiting

no Importance to the incident The
painting was insured against fire for

Philadelphia.-"J Japan proposes to
control and dominate the commerce of
the Pacific ocean or the Pacific ocean

former secretary of the treasury. in his
Founders day address at the temple.
''TheTe is no cause for war except re-
ligious fanaticism that has ever existed
from the dawn of creation that does
not now exist in an intense form be-
tween the United States and Japan" ,"
said Mr.. Shaw. I'VE may take our
choice We may want some of the Pa
cific commerce some day. There is
only one way to get it. Forty years ago
we had only one-fourth as much for
eign commerce to carry as we have
now, but forty years ago we actually
carried three times as many tons in
our own ships as we carry now.
Beyond the Pacific ocean are a lit
tie people occupying small territory;
they are small of stature, but their
leading boast is that they are a little
hander than arnor plate.
Japan has figured it this way, that
not having very much territory, and Ia
Dor being cheap, they can build mer-
chant ships cheaper than any other
country and they can operate them
cheaper
wages are a little higher than in
China. Five dollars of our money, you
know, pays sixty men for a days work
in the Yangtse valley. Wages are a
little higher in Japan.

But 1t is for them to administer that in
heritance as they think best for them
selves ant or the world. They are
accountabl- "a none. The privilege of
foreigners Goes not go beyond sugges-

the last result, remonstrance and pro-

misrepresent remonstrance and protest
as foreign dtctation, but enlightened
Italians have welcomed both in the
chief controversies in which they have
been exerted, because upon broad and
simple questions of this kind there is

taste and judgment of Europe.
