Relievos In l'o-opcrutloi) of Furniers und Business- Men of Suiuter for Tlielr Mut mil Advancement?Scope of Work of Urlall Dealers' Asso? ciation. President Hcaron'x Mnlutatory or In? troductory oration um president of the Sumter Ketail Dealers' Association is published below In synopsis form. It Is well worth perusing, partieularly by the business men of Sumter. Dr. J. Z. Ilcaron, ordinarily, is a man of few words, but one who docsj things. It is apparent, however, thatj whenever It becomes nceesxiii y to say j something he can "deliver the goods." j At the special "Tobacco Warehouse Booster Meeting" of the association, held Wednesday morning President Ilcaron got out of his system the I following pent up sentiments which have been smoldering ?*1 his breast fori years, but which ho nevor had a fair! opportunity to tell his brother busl-j ness men of the Greater Gamecock! I CHy, He believes the Retail Dealers'! i Association can and will build up a larger trade territory by the eo-oper-j Sttt'O of tho wide-awake farmers of; astniier and the business, professional, j OAnl^l^orking men and women of In assuming tho office of president of thf Sumter Ketail Dealers' Associa-| tion Dr. J. Z. Hearon said he desired j io emphasize one thing for the Infor? mation of those associated with him In the associa* on. Said he, "it Is this, the Retail Dealers' Association is not and has not been dead. It's scope of usefulness has been as broad for the past twelve months as It was when first organized, but there has been great lack of interest among the mem? bers of the association, which hamp? ered its usefulness. Tho credit bureau feature of the asociatlon has continually furntohed valuable information to hundreds of inquirers which saved thousands of dollars to merchants using this bureau. But if the retail dealers had done their duty, to themselves, and to their members by filling out the credit rat-| log hsts. and : v s? ndlng into the ina/t-| aging ssmslsi j*i osnei oartaln In? form.itiou arl vi> merchants gel from Ctgv 10 flay, the index nie syatem of this bureau would contain hundreds of additional names and would be of immense value to retuil dealers. The newly elected president stressed tho Importance of organized effort and continual interest among SurAter's business men toward safeguarding tho credit business which is appar? ently unavoidable and which credit systcn can bo made a source of con? venience to honest consumers and of profit to'the merchants, if the mer? chants will only co-operato with the association and the Chamber of Com? merce as requested. "I believe that thousands of dollars can be saved to Sumter's business men, If they will only tako advantage of the system of espionage over ad? vertising schemes and various promo? tion features which the secretary's ofllce Is prepared to furnish. No bus? iness man can afford to purchase any and sj| kinds of advertising space, or to take stock in any transient propo? sition which the promoters are un? willing to submit to the unprejudiced investigation of officers of legitimate organized business intercts. If an advertising scheme is legiti? mate and worth what is charged and claimed for It, If any kind of business proposition presented by a stranger is legitimate Mid worth what is claimed for it, then the promoter should be only too glad to have the written en? dorsement of commercial organization committees or officers, Only fako or "wild cat" promoters have any real cause to object to Chamber of Commerce or Retell Deal? ers' Association Investigations. The Retail Dealers' Association Is as much for the consumer as for the dealer, it seeks to safeguard the hon? est customer as Well as I he dealer. 11 ( seeks to give the customer lionest weights, honest measure, the best goods for the least possible cost, it seeks to reduce exorbitant and un? requitable freight und express rates which add unjustly to the cost of the consumer's supplies) it puts the ban of disapproval Upon dishonest dealers to the beat of its ability, and by ?demirat Ing as far as possible the risk of dis I i honest debtors it reduces the Inter* est or lime charges on credit sab s for honest debtors. He said the burden of looking after the commercial Interests of ihe re? tail dealers should not, as is now the rase, i s placed upon m small minority of ihe mercantile establishments when all of I hem derive benefits from tho systematic organised work of Ihe ml norltv. There are some of the lend lug Mtereuntlle Itrms, and mntiy more small business establishments that do not belong to or contribute to ihe ci? tinber of Commerce which sup ports and defrays I He expenses of the II? lad 1 lealers' Association He. While granting tu gvaty man or Hrm the right to handle their money or legitimate busines affairs to suit themselves without dictation from others, Is an advocate of living full credit to the firms, corporations, and individuals who do belong to and sup? port tho Sumter Chainbtr of Com? merce and who dc their best to help to make Summer a more desirable placo in which to live, as desirable as it :s, who are public spirited enough to give to their time, talents, and money for the soeial, commercial and Industrial uplift of Humter ami Sumter county. These men and wo? men who are working for Sumter in tho commercial organizations should have their names and, their business, professions, trades, and calling adver? tised by the Chamber of Commerce so that the purv basing public of Sumter city ami county will, in a measure, at hast, he in a position to co-operate with the members of the commercial Organlsmtloni in the effort to build up Tho (Jrealer Gamecock City and County of Sumter by throwing their trade us much as possible to those who are working for Sumter and Sum? ter county. He said that unless the retail deal? ers want an association bad enough to take an interest In it, and support it financially, and otherwise, it might as well be disbanded and tho Cham? ber of Commerce relieved of the cost and trouble of Its existence. Ho asked for the cooperation of his fellow members In ' uilding up! the tobacco industry, the xtenslon of trsd' territory, and other work for Sumter's business men and women and their customers. TOBACCO MARKKTS OPEN. tiuisual Yield Is Offered, Although Crop Is Short?Hivalry Is Keen SS Always. Columbia, July 23.?Tobacco mar? kets of South Carolina opened yester? day and in every Instance ;hc season was ushered in with most satisfactory returns. The prices paid were up to the usual high mark demanded by the South Carolina product and the weed offered is said to meet tho exacting re? quirements of the buyers. It is reported In many sections that the crop this season will be short, some estimates placing the decrease from normal at to per cent, Reco is In several markets were smashed yesterday bv the crop or lered at the OpOf?I | of the market.

"Booster parties" havo ^een at work spreading the glad tidings of a ready market and rivalry as always will be keen between the progressive cities where tobacco is bought and sold. VIOLATED POSTAL LAW'S. Boke Smith, After Hearing State? ments, Say* Hint I mils Is Subject to Postal Regulations. Washington, July 23.?After going over letters and hearing a statement of Marshall Nelms, brother of Mrs Rlolss Dennis, and Beatrice Nelms, who mysteriously disappeared several weeks ago, Senator Hoke Smith stated that it appeared probable that the postal laws had been violated by Victor Innes in writing to Elolse Dennis offering her investments which proved fictitious. Senator Smith will this afternoon introduce Nelms to at? torney General McReynolds, and Post? master General Burleson. Death. Mrs. Annie Taylor, wife of Mr. T. D. Taylor, died at her home on North Magnolia street, Sunday evening at S o'clock.

FItiltT AT RIDt.FD AND MEETING. Candidates Not in it and Ai t us Pcace inal era to Stop Trouble?Usual Speeches Fail to Draw Applause. itidgelmd, July 2 2.?In an effort to silence an auditor who appeared' recalcitrant In the eyes of the mar shay, Harry Dennett, the marshal be? came the object of lists and a "billy" at the hands of James, lernest and Charles Cooler. The altercation occur? red early In the meeting of candidates for State offices held here today and was the only thing that marred the placid surface and undemonstrative attltUf' e of the audience of about 30U perso s, many of them women. Throughout the speeches of all can? didates, the audience remained indif? ferent to the various pleas for its suf? frage and several speakers failed to I jiraw applause. The light, of course, was the draw-; Ing card, while it lasted, but the light, like the entire meeting, began and ended In silence, with scanty applause and disinterested observations. In view of the fact that close con? nections had to be made to get to Walterboro, where the campaign meeting will be held tomorrow, the) speeches of candidates for governor' were limited to ten minutes and of all other candidates to live minutes. The meeting was called to order at 10.40 o'clock by W. A. Sauls, county Chairman. The Rev. J. R, Funder burk offered prayer Tobacco Booster Trip. The committee of arrangements for the Tobacco Rooster Trip has decided on Thursday, July 30th as the day for the trip, and the plans for this trade excursion will be perfected within the next few days.
