Against diphtheria in each county of
our State.
1 No chid over seven years can re
ceive the free Toxin-Antitoxin, but
all children under ten years should

SMALL DECLINE
LAST WEEK KADE
UP THIS IN WEEK’S
Laurens County Weed
Here Monday; Planters
Happy Over Sales Made
ADDITIONAL SPACE HAD TO BE
SECURED TO CARE FOR TOBAC
CO BROUGHT HERE FIRST OF
WEEK; WAREHOUSES OVER
FLOW.
As we go to press sales continue in
two of the large warehouses, there
fore we are unable to know just how
much will be sold and what the aver
age will be, but at least 600,000 will
be sold an a good average is exepected
since the weed is bringing a good
price today.
Tobacco sales started here Monday
morning with a million and a half
pounds of bright leaf in town. Extra
space was secured at orfce, and after
the floors were filled the overage was
warehoused for Tuesday’s sale and
it was large also.
The offerings were of good grades
from well up on the stalk and av
eraged high, 26 cents being the best
estimate that could be had at the writ
ing.
Laurens County Weed
Monday was designated as Laurens
County Day and all three warehouses
Mad a heavy percentage of the sale
from Laurens with growers from that
section in evidence.
It is stated that Laurens county
i will increase the tobacco acreage next
season to not less than 10,000 acres,
which is good indication that the
growers are well satisfied with the
prices which they are recieving here
this season.
Third Set Os Buyers Needed
All three tobacco warehouses were
full of bright leaf again Tuesday but
sales were completed at only two of
the houses, the two sales totaling 632,
000 pounds with something like 400,
000 pounds left for Wednesday's sale.
A larger percentage of low grades
was offered Tuesday, which reduced
the general average to below Mon
day’s figures and although good com
mon grades sold around 30 cents the
sales only showed and average of 24.-
60. A third set of buyers is badly
needed at this point in order for all
the offerings to be cleared each day.
Rains Curtail Sales Here Some
Tobacco sales Wednesday totaled
597,000 pounds at the three houses,
averaging $25.17. Rains n this sec
tion Tuesday and Wednesday night
slightly curtailed the sales. Some tips
are coming during the last few days
which keeps the average price f»om
running as high as it should. Good
common tobacco is bringng 30 to 40
cents per pound, f* f '** '•
