GREAT PROSPECT FOR TOBACCO
Prices Will be Good no Matter How
Much Of the Weed is Grown,

Florence. Nov. 23.-J. w. Berger.
formerly Of Florence, now Of Wilson.
N. c., was in the city yesterday and
he speaks most assuredly Of the pros
poets for tobacco in this section. He
says that 1t Is the first time that he
recalls that the dealers have unQuali-
fiedly stated that there would be good
prices for the next crop. no matter
what the size might be. The manu-
facturers are short. and they need
tobacco. and are willing to pay for it.
Mr.. Berger says that the chance for
an increased crop in North Carolina
and Virginia Is very slim. .or the
maximum acreage is now planted In
'obaccO. and labor Is short and that
in the cotton States is the only chance
Of material increase. Even IN the
cotton belt only the small farmer may
be expected to bother with tobacco,
the man who has his land to Fay for,
or notes to meet. The large landlord
will not be interested in it, even for
his tenants. Taking all things to-
gether, Mr.. Berger says that he does
not believe that five full crops. which
in almost an impossibility, could de.
press the price OF the weed. -.

AUGUSTA FILES CLAIM.
Alleges Discrimination In COlumbia's 3
Favor.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Because Co.
lumbia recently won a decision from,
the interstate commerce commission
which gives that city lower freight
rates hereafter. and which knocked
out the advantage which Augusta
formerly enjoyed. the latter city today
filed complaint in retaliation with
commission in which 1t Is alleged that
Columbia, Carleston and Savannah
are given an undue advantage in ship
ping rates.
The complaint Is brought against
the Southern railway and 1t is claimed
that. on September 23, 1918, the de-
fendant arbitrarily increased rates on
cotton from points in South Carolina
to Augusta by about cents per
hundred pounds.
1t is claimed that this increase is
UNFAIR unreasonable and unjust, and
works discrimination against Angus
Ia In favor of Carolina cities.
1t Is evident that this complaint has
been brought to offset the decision
recently given Columbia as the title
of the case is the Augusta Cotton ex-
change and Board OF Trade against
the Southern Railway
However. as Columbia has already
received Its decision. it appears to be
too late for Augusta to move in the
matter.
