Putting a Premium on Vulgarity
The folks seem to hunger and
thirst for suggestive literature more
than ever. It only takes a short mo
ment to catch the drift of the mind
if you will take time to listen in.
The political page, the sport page,
the society page, and the market
page used to get all the interest of
all the people as their first choice.
Not so now. The scandal page gets
them first.
Strange to say, the things that
"knock" religion and religious activi

GORMAN'S MARKET REPORT
' -»*. _ ;
The market has crossed the sixty-million mark, for which all of Greenville is proud. The sales have finished easily each day this week. Gorman's sold this week 292,896 pounds for $64,
I 044.16, averaging $21.87. Gorman's has sold for the season 9,-955,768 pounds at an average for all forms of tobacco sold $24.2 7. Under the circumstances, we feel very proud of this average,
| as it is 50 cents more per hundred pounds than the market average and has added so many extra dollars to fill the pockets ofthose who sold it Gorton's.
We have worked harder to make this average than we have to lead the market in pounds; as we realize the farmers needevery dollar their tobacco can be sold for.
