kINGSTREE TOBACCO MARKET.
$50, 900 Pounds Sold OpeningDay
..Prices Going Higher.

The Kingstree tobacco market
opened Thursday of last week. 1t
is estimated that 100000 pounds
were sold, the bulk of which was
bought in by the warehousemen, as
there were only two or three repre-
sentative buyers on the market that
day. The tobacco offered for sale
was mostly ground lugs, or inferior
grades, and under normal conditions
would have brought very little more
than was paid Thursday, as at pres
ent there seems to be but little de-
mand for low grades.
Since the opening day sales have
been small and up until yesterday
the opening prices seemed to pre-
vail. Yesterday, however, the mar
/ ket frightened up and prices gener.
ally ranged higher, from 5 to as
high g l6 cents, the latter figure be-
ing paid for an exceptionally good
grade, but nothing extra as com
pared to our best grades later on in
the season. This rise in the market
is attributable to two causes. viz:
better. tobacco and more buyers.
Attending the sales yesterday were
noted the following buyers, gentle.
men representing the largest 'tobac.
co dealers and manufacturers in the
world: Messrs ] S Jenkins, Imperial
Tobacco Co; Henry Wood, Jr, Ex'
port Tobacco Co; M G Ferrell Amer.
lean Tobacco Co; w K Medernach,
Liggett & Meyers; j c Coleman, Dib'
bel Bros; T E Martin, Martin, Hughes
& Co; T E Person, Person, Garrett &
Co. andsMr Faulkner, Faulkner & Co,
Besides these, a number of indepen.
dent or individual buyers were or
the market, and while the quantity
of tobacco offered was small bidding
was spirited and prices ranged high
er than at any time since the open.
ing sales.
All our warehousemen are strictly
on the job and doing all they can
for their patrons. They are experts
in the tobacco business and are as
competent to judge the value of a
pile of tobacco as any Of the buyers
are, which qualification enables them
to force each buyer to his limit if
he gets the goods. In addition they
are each provided with an expert auc-
tioneer. And right here let US say
from our personal knowledge that
the four auctioneers on the Kings
tree market are known on all large
leaf tobacco markets in the United
States and are recognized as among
the very best of their profession.
They are: Messrs Lee Hopper, Cor
rell's new warehouse; F E Boone,
Central warehouse; George Bass,
Morgan's warehouse; and The doubly
famous Johnny Reb Drake. Nelson's
warehouse. Each warehouse is also
we'll equipped for handling the weed
promptly and properly; their office
forces and floor managers are pains
taking, competent and efficient.
Lastly-When your tobacco is
ready for the market bringit straight
to Kingstree, the best tobacco mar.
ket in the State.

surprise to Philadelphia Boy Scouts yes

file has been with the movement since
II was started. more than four years ago
and was so closely connected with every
thing the scouts did that 1t is hard for
them to realize that he is no longer to
be found at headquarters. His face and
figure were familiar sights on every scout
occasion and in virtually every troop
meeting place He was an enthusiastic
worker among the troops, which he Wis
listed nightly with his illustrated lee
ture, "Roughing 1t Out of Doors With the
Boy Scouts" He was given the "glad
hand" every time he appeared or his
name was mentioned, and 1t Is safe TO
say that no man was more popular among
the 5000 scouts of the city than was Mis-
ter Pattn' as he was called by the
boys.
AS Gettysburg scout executive, he was
at the head of a body of more than 400
scouts, the Gettysburg Boy Scout Service
Corps. who saw service during the Get
tysburg encampment in 1913 He also
held honorary Positions in nearly all the
city troops, from president to .'best
work Of the organization His work took
him into every corner of the city, where
he organized troops, advised scoutmasters,
conducted tests and inspected troops.
Mr.. Patton helped organize the Philadel-
phia Boy Scouts and was at once made
scoutmaster Of Troop 21. which has grown
into one or the most hourishing troops in
the city. Three years ago he gave up
his scoutmastership to take over the
duties of field secretary, and a year and
a half ago was appointed deputy scout
commissioner. The brass band of Troop
