Sumter, Feb. 12.?Judging from the number of reliable white farmers of Sumter and Clarendon counties who either came in themselves or telephoned the Sumter ^Chamber i of Commerce last Saturday for more tobacco seed for replanting beds, coupled with the statements that all ( of the tobacco beds in their neighborhoods had been killed by the unprecedented freezing weather of last , i riuay ana Saturday, and from other ( information gathered by Secretary Reardon of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce, it now looks as though ( the tobacco industry in this section ( of the State has suil'ered another setback equal to that of the winter of , 1916. , Letters and telephone messages ( asking that more seed be sent are still coming into the secretary's of- , fice. ( Just as soon as Secretary Roardon could secure sufficient informa- , tion to warrant him in believing that, about all the tobacco beds in Sum- , ter, Lee and Clarendon counties had , been killed he immediately wired J. , \Y. Glenn of Klkins. N. the lessee of the tobacco warehouse in this city, for more seed, following the ( wire with a special delivery letter |j giving further information. Hi1 advised Mr. Glenn to come on ( to Sumter and visit the tobacco j farms to gain more exact informa- < tion, hut in the meantime to rush; more seed at once b\ special delivery parcel post. Of course the amount of damage or the number of beds killed can not be accurately es timatcd yet. but approximating the , number of beds ruined by the cold snap that had been protected by additional covering of bags and pine , straw as stated by tlie farmers talk- , in ft with the secretary, it is safe to 1 assume that hundreds of beds not protected are also dead. The Sumter Chamber of Com- , merce is doing everything that it; possibly can to show the farmers, that it is wise to replant their tobacco beds and secure good prices' for their 1317 tobacco crops. A special campaign will lie put on j as soon as Mr. Glenn reaches Sum ter and he with the commercial sec-' I .

If Mr. .Glenn does not arrive by tomorrow morning it is expected that the seed will be in the Chambei of Commerce by next Wednesday anyhow.
