Sumter's tobacco season started off
with a rush Tuesday morning, both
warehouses doing large business and
the prices being right for the farmers.
The first sale was held at the Ban
ner warehouse and a large crowd of
farmers. buyers and Interested spec-
tators were on hand to watch the.
buying. After disposing of the totSc-.
CO at this place, the crowd moved over
TO the Sumter warehouse to seelthe Of
ferings there. While there was not
as much tobacco on the floors as had
been expected, every one seemed to be.
satisfied With the start that ha6 been
made. 1t is thought that this wiii be
the best season ever for Sumter, as
there are great many more buyera
than usual on The local market and
more farmers pect to bring their to-
bacco to the local market thi' year
The average price was between 25
and 80 cents, though there was some
tobacco that brought great deal
more than that. .-,a ,.H.
