TOBACCO MARKETS
Open FOR SEASON
Prices at Some Places Better Than
for Last Year
SALES AT TIMMONSVILLE
to "a Cents Per Pound Reported
Better Grades Chiefly in
Demand

Manning's tobacco. market became
somewhat demoralized yesterday
when the weed brought such low
prices. After q basty decision it was
decided not to have any more sales
until matters could be investigated.
Our warehousemcn got in touch with
several Of the other markets and 1t
was found that Manning was dong
just about as good as any place.
This morning after meeting OF
the farmers, warehousemen and buy
ers it was decided to resume sales
with tie nope that as the better
grades come on the prices would in
crease. About 10000 pounds was on
the Manning market yesterday, with
only one house sold.
Marion, July 19.-More than 75,-
900 pounds of tobacco was sold on
the Marion market today at an aver
age price of 8 cents per pound. The
highest price per pound was a little
better than 21 cents. The bulk Of the
tobacco sold was first gatherings, and
naturally poor quality. This brought
the average price down materially. All
really good tobacco brought around 20
cents. The average price this year was
little below that Of last year, last
years average being around 13 Genus
The farmers, as whole, seemed
pleased with the opening prices. The
influx of tobacco money will do much
to stimulate business in this section
Checks For more than $4,000 wer writ
ten on the opening day. There are nine
buyers on the market here this year,
representing practically all Of the
large tobacco companies. Two ware
houses are being operated this year.
1t is believed that they will be ample
to take care Of crops in this section,
as it is much smaller than that of
last year. The quality of the tobacco,
however, compares well with that Of
last year.

Some Are Dissatisfied

Dillon, July 19.--Thc tobacco mar
ket opened here today. More than
eighty three thousand pounds was
sold at an average price Of five dol
lars ten cents per hundred. The sale
was largely attended. Many farmers
brought small lots to try out the
opening. Some were disappointed and
loaded the tobacco on their wagons
and carried it b .ck home. The grade
of the tobacco offered was poor. The
following companies have buyers here
Export Tobacco Co., Imperial To-
bacco, American Tobacco Co., Lig-
gett d Myers Tobacco Co., j. p. Tay-
Tor Co.
There are also number of specu-
lators buying independently. The
opinion of the tobacco men is that
good tobacco is goin Pto demand fair
prices. The crop of tobacco in Dillon
county is much shorter than a year
ago. The quality is going to be be-
low the average. There are two ware
houses operating in Dillon this sea-
son, Watkins Warehouse and Hardy

Dissatisfaction at Kingstree

Kingstree, July 19.-More than the
usual interest was manifested in the
opening of the tobacco market here
today, and the opening sale was at
tended by perhaps the largest crowd
since 1914. Everybody was anxious to
see and know how the market was 60
ing to start off. On account of the de-
pressed financial conditions that have
prevailed j nthis community the past
eight or ten months, everyone was in
terested in the prices the weed would
bring, and good prices were hoped Tor.
These hopes wcra blighted, however,
before the sale had continued one hour
Tobacco that has sold here for several
years past at to 10 cents the pound
was going for 1 and cents today.
Complaints were heard on all hands

warehouse and went into a mass meet
ing at the court house, where they
we're addressed by +. w. Faircy and

Seven Cent Average at Florence

Florence. July 19--Thc Florence
tobacco market had a full corps Of
buyers for the opening break. APP
proXimately thirty thousand pounds
were sold at an average Of about
seven cents. Low grades did not sell
we'll. Better grades found good bid
ding and brought prices we'll above
the average Of the day. Buyers did
not seem to want inferior tobacco
and would rot bid on it. While the
returns were not as high as hoped
for farmers generally did not appear
to be dissatisfied. 1t is believed that
good tobacco is going to bring Il
good price. In pom. Of offerings the
1920 break was double the size of the
break this year. AS to prices the av-
crage on the opening sale last year
was eighteen cents. The primings
offered today seemed to be better
cured and cleaned than last year.

LAPS ARE QUICK TO EFFERVESCE;; JUST AS
 RAPID IN COOLING OFF

Tokio, February 2s.-There Is no public opinion in the world that is more et-
 fervescent than the public opinion o1 Japanese, says the Nichinichi in com menting on the California and Siberian questions.
 The Japanese people are people who are easily excited. but the excitement fades away just as easily. This is not the attitude great nation should as- sume. Only a few months ago the Ja- panese people were engaged in unduly clamoring about the Californian question and the Siberian venture, but today they are completely silent as though they have forgotten that such a thing ever existed.
 This is particularly the case with the Siberian question; what Japan has to ao In Siberia has already been done. The next step is to reap what she has sown. The Japanese government hesitates. be- cause it fears that the crops will be very poor. But it is what one has sown that one must reap.

The best of the singers will be given positions in the various operas under the Dunbar standard and will be given deserved promotions.
 Those who desire hearings when The Mikado' arrives should call on Manager Thomas Roe and list their names.

URUGUAY ADVANCES IN PROGRESS LAWS
Women Have Been Given Vote. Labor Is Satisfied and Ma
 tion Is Happy
By Associated Press

| Montevideo, Uruguay, February 26- l President Baltazar Brum believes that ! Uruguay is well in the forefront of ad- yanced legislation in many respects, and | that it will soon take steps which Will lead eventually to full suffrage tor women The laws enacted by the Uruguay Con-
 gress for the protection of workingmen,
 he said, had made labor contented in this country. One of the laws now pend- ing provides that labor cannot be em- ployed in the country districts for less than s20 a month with board and lodg- ing. In the city the minimum is set at approximately s45 a month.
 We also have, a law" said Dr. Brum, giving an obligatory day of rest each
 week, and this has been made to include domestic servants. Our labor is satished
 Ship all your agitators here; we are not
 afraid of them They will not find con-
 genial soil in which to work"
 In regard to woman suffrage he said the constitution of Uruguay provides for votes for women, but that the machinery for their balloting has not yet been pro vided by the act of Congress. He added that he believed that within two years women would be given the right to vote for municipal representatives and that would lead to complete suffrage for them.
 With regard to prohibition, the Presl- dent stated that there was quite strong feeling among the legislators of the na- tion in favor of curtaiing the facilities for the sale of alcoholic beverages, as well as their distillation. This tendency apparently was in favor of allowing the people to consume wines and beers, but to restrict to a large extent, the sale of spirits containing large percentage of alcohol.

RUSSIAN REDS JAIL
 KHAN OF KHIVA AND s
 VARIOUS OF RETINUE
By Associated Press

Copenhagen, February 26-The Khan of ! Khiva, his prime minister, members ct his military staff and dignitaries of hls court are imprisoned in Moscow. says a Danish business man, who recently ar rived here after having been in Mos COW prison for about a month.
 The khanate of Khiva, of which the
 r'tN Of kn.va is capital is in Russian Turkestan and formerly was an import ant kingdom of Asia In 1873 it became virtually subject to Russia, though for time it thereafter maintained certain amount of independence.
 That the soviet government of Russa has been active in Turkestan has been indicated by recent wireless messages from Moscow. stating that congress of young bolshevists was recently held at Tashkent. Other Moscow dispatches have told of meetings of some of the Moham- medan races of central Asia ostensbly for educational purposes.
