TOBACCO MARKET BOOMING.
Quality and Quantity All to the
Good and High Prices Prevail.

The local to baccO market is BOOM
ing now. Last Friday a Record
man witnessed one of the snappiest
sales here he has ever seen on a
warehouse floor. There was a good
crowd present, the auctioneer was
we'll "tuned-up" and the buyers
seemed possessed of more than Their
usual supply of ginger. The
bidding was spirited from start to
finish and the 10000 or 10000
pounds sold averaged 8 - cents a
pound, we are informed. Some
piles of tobacco we saw bring as
much as 81 cents a pound. One
pile of scrap tobacco that looked
like dead leaves frost-bitten and tit
for nothing was bid in at five cents
a pound for pile that weighed
about 300 pounds, too. On every
side were heard expressions of salts
faction from farmers who had real
lied fine prices for their tobacco.
Tuesday there was another good
sale, we understand, when $4,000
pounds averaged ten cents pound!
This is splendid average price for
that quantity of tobacco, and We
doubt if that days sale was equaled
by any other market in the State,
price and quality considered. Our
information comes direct from bur-
erS and warehouSemen and We have
their assurance that everyt h n g
stated in this article is true. We
try to lean to conservatism in every
statement made in this paper, and
investigate carefully every claim be-
fore it is accepted.
The Kingstree market got Il rather
late start this season, but from all
accounts the warehouses are making
up for lost time. The Sand-lugS of
fered at the beginning Of the season
are of very little value to anvon"
and unless boosted to an abnormal
ly high price for Il purpose, the
prices run pretty much the same at
every market. But when the better
grades are offered then comes the
test. The good tobacco is coming
to this market now and the prices
are very satisfactory indeed. Watch
King>trce when the August report
comes out.

LIKES BRYAN
And Fav0rs Him for the State
legislature.

Taft has always thought very high
! ly of Bryan and this good opinion
continues to grow. We are not speak
ing of the President or the orator
from Nebraska; we are speaking of
the thriving little town of Taft, S G,
and its most prominent citizen, w D
Bryan, who arrived in Henderson
vile last week.
Mr. Bryan has been coming to
Hendersonville every summer for
several years and owns some attrac-
tive property in the northwest part
of this city. He has many friends
here and is exceedingly popular in
his home town. He has been an eff
cient member of the South Carolina
Legislature and his fellow-citizens
are anxious to re-elec. him.
During the last campaign the
people of Taft, who are Democrats,
learned with dismay that man
who was named for their town was
running for President on the Repub-
lican ticket. They TAXED of starting
a movement to have the name of that
burg changed from Taft to Bryan;
and when they talk of Bryan down
there they mean W.D. of South Car
olina, not W. of Nebraska West.
