At tha K tall Dealers' Association meeting held last Tuesday morning to arrange for the big "Tobacco Market Boost ring Trip" soon to be made throughout the tobacco growing sec? tions of Sumter and adjoining coun? ties. Managing Secretary Reardon, of the Svmter Chamber of Commerce, said that while the Chamber of Com? merce recognised the right of the committee of arrangements to say what claas of advertising shall be per? mitted or whether no advertising but that kind advertising the tobacco warehouse shall be allowed, as applied to Individual advertising, that never? theless h?i wished It understood that the Svmter Chamber of Commerce re? spectfully reserves the right to. and will extensively advertise the names of every Arm, corporation, professional man and woman, individual, bank, and ?very profession, occupation, trade, and calling represented in the mem? bership of the Chamber of Commerce dvrlag the Mg booeter trip. Furthermore, that the newspapers off Sumter will be used for this pur? pose of advertising the public spir? ited Arm. corporations, and Individ? uals who have been, and are now giv? ing of their time, money and interest to the upbuilding of Sumter's business, social and educational Interests, and for the development of agricultural sections tributary to Sumter's trade Interests, The officers and directors Of ihe Sumter Chamber of Commerce feel that this IS due the liberal and pub Ik--spirited men ahd women wt o are supporting the Chamber of Commerce and Retail Dealers' Association In their efforts for the Greater Gamecock City and County of Sumier. If many public-spirited Individuals sand themselves together for mutual benefits and co-operative efforts for good of entire city and county of Sum? ter.'then It Is certainly due these eittsen* that the thousands of farm? ers, country merchants, working men and women, manufacturing enter? prises, professional men and women, and re presents I ves of every calling should be placed in possession of the names of the Individuals, and business establishments, and professional men who are working and spending their time and their money for the good of the massee of the people. There la no Intention in this adver? tising proposition to reflect upon or in? jure any person not connected with the Sumter Chamber of Commerce or Retail Dealers' Association, as ths commercial organisation fully real? ises that there are many men not financially able to contribute to Its support. But there are hundreds of business establishments, corporations, profes? sional men and other individuals, who era benefited by organised business efforts who don't contribute towards ths support of tho Chamber or Retail Dealers* Association. But those Arms, corporations, banks, professions) men, and others who do support the commercial organisation and work for Sumtor and Sumter county are certainly entitled to the credit thesefor. The secrttary paid a tribute to the liberality and public-spirit of the newspaper* of Sumter. and other South Carolina cities whom he says sre the best friends of the boosters and the beet advertising mediums un? der any and all circumstances.

Charleston, July 24.?Charles Car? roll Slmms of Barnwell. candidate for governor, today took John G. Rich? ards to task for his varying attitudes toward the liquor question and his many different political affiliations in the meeting of candidates for State offices, held in the Qerman Artillery hall this afternoon and tonight. The audience of about 500 Charleston! county voters appeared delighted with this unexpected flaying. From the start the audience showed a tendency to heckle, laugh, hiss, cheer and ap? plaud as each candidate stated his platform, and it was with great diffi? culty that several candidates were able to make their speeches. Every partisan statement was applauded and several times police had to warn oversealous persons in the audience to restrain themselves. The question of race track gam? bling came in for a great deal of at? tention and the affiliated statement of law enforcement waa cheered as each candidate stated his position in favor of enforcing the laws as they appear on the statute book. BIG FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT. Nino Colored Tenement Houses De? stroyed Before Blase is Under Con? trol. ? Nine colored houses on Brand, or Second Red and White street were destroyed by Are last night which started about 9.30 o'clock and lasted for ssvoral hours before it was brought under control. The f re fighters were handicapped from the first by lack of hose, their two lines | stretching out for nearly 8,000 feet and theh being unable to reach to the far side of the Are. The wagon was sent back and more hose taken to the" I scene but this did not arrive until late and the fire had already spread to most of the houses before the- addi? tional hose was attached. Even then with the extra hose and the steamer in operation the stream was not suffi? ciently strong to do a great deal of good. The buildings were the property of the estate of H. Harby and were all partly insured, the loss being between $1,600 and $2,000. REMBERT DEFEATS HIGH SCHOOL. Takes Two Games in Easy Fashion Thursday Afternoon.

BAGGING AHB TIES 1914 (f The tillers of the soil are to be congratulated upon the magni? ficent prospects for all crops, which we sincerely hope will con? tinue, so that our agricultural friends may reap a rich reward as the result of their year s labor. Our business is largely dependent upon the farming class, when they prosper, we pros? per, and we feel very grateful to them for the loyal manner in which they have stood by us for many years past. You will soon be looking around for the wherewith to cover your cotton, as the indi? cations point to a reasonably early crop and as usual, we are well prepared to take care of your wants in this respect. We have all grades of bagging up to 3 lbs. per yard. Our Globe brand is a rewoven fa? bric, but free from holes or any imperfections whatever. It will make an ideal bagging for persons running public gins, as it will serve the purpose equally as well as the new goods and costs very much less. Our Dundee brand is doubtless familiar to you, as we have been selling it for many years. In Sugar Sack bag? ging we handle nothing but standard goods, which we have in 3 and 3 lbs. Our experience has taught us that second hand ties are unprofitable as well as undesirable, so we are offering nothing but standard new goods. We carry a stock of both bagging and ties in our warehouse in Charleston, from which we can ship you direct, thereby saving the local freight from Sumter to those for whom hauling would be inconvenient. Wc are pre? pared to make shipments August lsl, payable October l& without interest and you can de? pend on our prices being right. If you have any doubt as to that, it will be a pleasure to quote you. Soliciting your inquiries for this or any thing else in our line. O'Donnell & Co.,
