These ladies deserve the hearty

TO the Tobacco Growers Of South Car.
0liHa:

Since the heavy rains the tobacco
is in very green and growing state
and being a warehouseman and
being fully in touch with the. tobac-
co situation, and knowing the strong
demand for ripe and coiory tobacco,
l feel that it is my duty to caution
every farmer to let his tobacco get
ripe before gathering, as one barn
of ripe tobacco will bring more than
several barns partially green.
The above is of much importance
to the farmers and will save them
thousands of dollars. Ripe tobacco
is what the. buyers want and You
will see it sell high.
