The following large tobacco firms, who had buyers i in Sumter have withdrawn them: 'T. P. Taylor Co., Imperial Tobacco Co., Export Leaf Tobacco Co., and American Tobacco Co. Not only have these houses' buyers been-withdrawn from Sumter, but from all South Caro lina markets as well. T. M. Carrington,, president of the Tobacco Association of United States wired every tobacco market in South Carolina. Georgia aHd bordering-North Carolina to start tobacco sales on the day that the railroads announce the acceptance of tobacco, without re striction for delivery. He says that he will do all in his power to keep tobac co off the market until tobacco is ac cepted unconditionally by the rail roads. Every warehouse in this dis {trict is urged not to offer any tobac j co for sale in the meantime. This I'vmeans that-no tobacco will be sold, by j the local warehouses till the railroads j come across, or until the president of {the Association issues orders', i This /morning -neither warehouse has as much tobacco on the* floor as j usual. j Fritz Behre, white, who was shot ion the streets of Sumter Saturday I night, died in the Toumaey Hospital I about 11:30 Wednesday. Joe, Wells j who did the shooting, and was out on j bond, was immediately arested and i placed in the county jail.
