per 100 pounds for warehouse charges
which is charged to him directly and
deducted from the gross price. 1t
costs him one dollar per hundred
pounds for the man who buys his
tobacco, but this charge is taken
off in the price paid him and does not
appear on the bill. These two items
of cost alone in an average year will
amount to about $14.00 per acre for
every acre Of tobacco planted. 1t is
not unusual for tobacco buyer even
on small market like this one, to
make in commissions alone 100000
to $6000.00 clear during the six weeks
the South Carolina markets are open.
What they make in speculation no
one knows. For this $14.00 per acre
the tobacco farmer pays, he gets the
privilege of placing his tobacco on a
warehouse floor for the inspection of
vaudeville performance put on for
his benefit by the warehouse with the
aid of the buyers and high priced
auctioncer. Only this and nothing
more. The warehouseman does not
help him any in getting a better
price for his tobacco. He is a tobacco
spcculator himself and is dependent
on these same buyers to buy his to-
bacco; therefore, he is anxious that
they should be so we'll pleased with
their other purchases on his floor
that they can we'll afford to pay him
good profit on his own purchases.
l have been told, and I believe it is
true, that in some instances, the
warehouseman will even resort to the
subterfuge of employing an outside
buyer to buy for him on his own
floor. This is done to keep the farm
er from knowing how much Of his
tobacco the warehouseman is selling
to himself for speculation. How wide
spread this practice is, | do not know.
We on the outside know very little
about the inner workings of a tobacco
market. These details are handled by
their so-called Boards of Trade"
which hold secret meetings all during
the marketing season and whose men,
bership is strictly limited to ware
housemen, regular buyers and pin
hookcrs. These are just a few Of

Editor, The Manning Times:

Editor, The Manning Times:
In last weeks issue of your paper
you opened a department for discus.
sion of the Tobacco Growers CO.
operative Association, and while it is
apparent to every one that The Times
is tooth and nail against the Associa-
tion, will take advantage of your
implied invitation to publish some
that may possibly be enlightcping not
only to the tobacco farmers of Clar-
endon but to the merchants and other
business men of Manning as we'll.
In the beginning permit me to say
that 1T has been matter of great
surprise and profound regret to the
older readers of The Times, who re-
member how ably and fcarlcssly it's
former. editor and owner championed
the cause of the farmer and of the
Democratic party, to find the paper
now arrayed against the farmers in
their fight to better their condition,
and only fifty per cent Democratic.
The members of the Tobacco Grow
ers Co-0perativ Association, in their
campaign for new members, have re-
lied principally on the advantages to
be gained by cooperative marketing
and they have not stressed the evils
which have grown up around the old
warehouse system. These are many,
but l will only call attention to few
of them, as this letter is written prin-
cipally to bring to the attention of
our merchants and other business
men the local situation at Manning.
The cost of selling tobacco under
the old warehouse system is excessive
Under this system, it costs the to-
bacco farmer about seventy-fve cents

the tobacco we sold here last year, on.
the 1,527,871 pounds that the market
sold for farmers last year, we lost,
therefore, $88,005.71. They paid us
only $114,9O1.75.
:, Now, frankly, Mr.. Merchant and
Business man of Manning, don't you
think it will pay you to line up with
the association and the men who are
trying to make Manning real to-
bacco market and at the SINE time
help the tobacco farmer to rid himself
of this incubus he has been carrying
for all these years. AS an open mar
ket, Manning is dead and the ware
housemen have killed it. 1t has been
run on hot air a good long time, but
the bubble has been punctured; and
when the tobacco farmers of this
county find out how much they have
is not probable that they will ever
patronize it again. If Manning ever
amounts to anything again as q to-
bacco market, it will be as a co-opcra-
tive market. Kingstree has seen the
handwriting on the wall and they are
not going to attempt to run an open
market at all.
If you care to take any action in
this matter, those of us who have been
working for the association will well
come your help. We are anxious to
help the town as well as the tobacco
planter; but it is settled fact that
we cannot do anything for the town
in the face of the organized opposi-
tion of the local newspaper and the
local warehousemen, unless you are
willing to come in with us and put
in some real work as is being done
elsewhere.
And, by the way, what do you
think of marketing system for an
important farm crop that permits Il
variation in price for the whole sea-
son of nearly six cents per pound in
two markets less than forty miles
apart.

u IV' CI IEO
Manning, S. c., May 1st, 1922.

The above far-fetched letter of G.
K. Sprott injecting politics into b,si-
ness. and accusing us of being against
the farmer is absurd. We are running
The Manning Times for the benefit of
all classes, trying to give to the pub
lie all information we can (regardless
Of what Mr.. Sprott thinks). When
the tobacco marketing association was
being started we published all letters
sent us by those interested, we also
printed matter coming from the other
side, but not one time have we com
mented editorially on the situation.
1t has been a matter of news on our
part, giving our readers a chance to
see both sides of the question. We are
sure our farmer and business friends
are not as narrow as Mr.. Sprott, but
after getting all the information, they
will then be able to Judge for them
selves. We have conducted our news
paper for great many years and
have, we think been successful, and
hope to continue in business, regard
less of the boil wccvil, whether our
columns suit the appetite of Mr..
Sprott or not. But he might bear
this in mind, that we will always give
to our readers all the enlightenment
we can. We want the farmer to get
and other produce, and we hope the
association will be a success, but who
knows whether the association is bet
ter than the old system until it is
tried. We have our farmer friends
at heart, and have always and will
always do our uttermost to help them.
For when we help them they help us.
But to publish one side of question
only, it would do them an injustice.
Therefore we have tried to be per-
fectly fair to all parties concerned,
allowing them to Judge for themselves
the best way. And I think they are
just as able and competent to do this
as Mr.. G. r. Sprott.

One Of the first temperance move

launched at Litchfield, Conn.,, In 1780,
when several hundred farmers came
together and pledged themselves not
to use any distilled liquors or intod-
cants in doing their farm work the
ensuing season.
