Tobacco Markets Open With Strong Sales in Pee Dee
Tobacco markets open across the Pee Dee with leftover 1994 crop dominating day one sales. Prices ranged from 179 to 184 dollars per hundred pounds, well above 1994 opening averages, as quality leaf boosted early results. Governor Beasley toured the Pee Dee, noting the industry supports about 40 000 South Carolina jobs and pledging to protect them.

Whittaker to be Commissioned After 115 Years
Johnson C. Whittaker, the U.S. Military Academy's only Black cadet in 1880, faced a razor attack by three masked intruders. West Point blamed a self-inflicted wound to discredit him, and now a White House ceremony will finally commission him, spurred by Sen. Hollings. Whittaker’s granddaughter attends, marking a long overdue correction of history.
