S.O. Kennedy, who resides near King, carried 386 pounds of tobacco to Winston-Salem last week and sold it on the open floor for $17.21. He was not satisfied with the sale so he called it in, brought it to King and signed up and delivered it to the Co-operative house and received $49.76 as first advance. Mr. Kennedy has already sold 14 barns on the open floor this year. If he only receives two payments, the 14 barns already sold, figuring it at the same rates, means tha the has lost several hundred dollars on this crop.
