TOBACCO USED AS MONEY
In the African Interior Kentucky
Leaf Is Bartered to the Natives
for Their Products.

Kentucky leaf tobacco is now put up
for the African trade. In the inte-
rior of Africa leaf tobacco Is practi-
cally used in place of money to bar
ter with the natives for their prod
ucts.
The wants of the natives are few.
Food and most of their clothing are
supplied by nature. They follow the
primitive custom of acquiring per-
sonal property in the form of cattle.
wives and children, and depending on
the children In old age for support.
They give little thought to laying
aside anything for use in illness or old
age.
In the interior, traders say, the ma
tives often refuse money in exchange
for their products, but will take to-
bacco, spirits, cotton goods, etc. In
fact, in some parts of the interior to-
bacco is an absolute necessity In
trading with the natives.
This tobacco is generally retied In
smaller bundles so that the African
merchants can figure out how the dis
tribution of this tobacco would cal.
culate, and to facilitate those calcu.
lations the tobacco Is tied I'm various
styles, that is, so many bundles TO the
pound, from four TO ten as desired.
The relying and manipulation of Ken.
lucky leaf has become as specialized
as the manufacture of tobacco.-The
