tC^T?B ACC0' MARKET Movement to Establish Drying Plants Here .; The Sivmter tobacco market has now developed to the -point where I exporting tobacco concerns are get . iing-interested in establishing steam .drying and..stemmery plants here. ' * The Summer Chamber of Commerce ^'i^w negotiating with a large ex porting tobacco concern which has .written to know if the business in terests of Sum'ter are sufficiently in asfested in the establishment of a s||ani drying plant or stemmery, or bbth, to go to Yhe" expense of erect ing the :iecessary building for such *^Serj>r^! "or enter prises. The pres ident of this prospective new enter pi^e was: in-^Smter a couple of weeks ago talking this matter over r lyith some of our,.business men, and Chamber of Commerce members, of the First National Bank of Sumter. ; Tdje. Chamber-of Commerce has in formed ti?e tobacco company that whatever buildings are necessary will be erected, and that furthermore if j?nancial cooperation is required that ' ?Sumter will meet the tobacco com pany hah: way, any way they come at Us?going ori coming. \ , Me.

At a tobacco warehouse sale Sat urday one of Hit' moat progressive tobacco growers said that the farm ers of Sumter county are talking about erecting ;< third tobacco ware house in Sumter with all farmer stockholders, in order to help build up the Sumter tobacco market by furnishing ample warehouse aiivt prize room facilities. It seems that the two warehouses here now are not large enough, nor have they Sut ficient floor ; space in the prize ware rooms to enable the buyers to han dle the "tobacco quick enough to get the tobacco off of the floors in time tor frequent sales. That the warehouses and prize ware rooms have been greatly con gested, and , daily sales greatly de layed and hundreds of farmers com pelled to wait all day arid frequently until the next day to get their tobac | co unloaded can not be questioned. Moore Bros, of the Sumter Tobacco i Warehouse have already requested the : owners of this warehouse to add on ! another one hundred feet of ware | house space, and to erect another ! prize ware room for the 1920 selling i season. i The new tobacco warehouse, opcr | ated by? Knott and Newton under the name of the Banner Tobacco Ware house will necessarily have to have I prize ware rooms added another year i and the owners of this building will I undoubtedly have the necessary prize j rooms buil t in ample time for the j 1920 selling season. The warehousemen at both Sumter j houses seem optimistic about Sum ! ter's future as a tobacco market, j Messrs. Knott and Newton, and the i Messrs. Moore Bros, have worked j very hard, and have done everything j within, their power to make'Sumter ? a big tobacco market. They have al ; ready added greatly to the amount of I tobacco sold on this market, and these I gentlemen should have the enthus j i?stic and unstinted financial support j and working cooperation of the mer chants, jankers, and farmers of this county, the -tobacco -growers especial ly in the development of the. Sumter tobacco market. The Chamber of Commerce has No tified the warehousemen of both Sum ter houses that a meeting of the of ficers and directors of the two cor porations owning the two warehouses will be called before the 1919 selling! season closes, or just as soon as it j closes, to confer with the local ware- j housemen about what is necessary j to furnish every faeITify~fof"^Jhe" cori^ t venience of the tobacco sellers, the i buyers, arid the warehousemen for j the IS20 season. In conclusion, the secretary, be- j caufc-e nearly every one knows who reads this article, that the secretary j wrote it. and these who do not : know, he will tell them he wrote it. i sincerely hopes that when the steain j dry plant and stemmery are located ; here, he will be able to find rooms j or houses for the owners of the same : and their office force and their fami- ] lies, and for any other operatives [ seeking" homes.

Aug. 25.?Statement-: j of primary campaign expenses from candidates for the Democratic con gressional nomination in the Sixth South Carolina district-were received j today by the * clerk of the house of i representatives as follows: J. W. Legrand $411; P. H. Stoll '$339; W. F .Stackhouse $123.; Julius S. Mclnnes $244r and E. J., Shei wood $502. Statements were also received from Candidates H. P. Fulmer and E. C Mann, in the Seventh district, for $2,858 and $209, respectively. John T. Duncan, running in the Seventh district filed an additional statement for $285. His previous statement showed $1,350. The law does not say that candi dates whose statements are not sent at least ten days before the date of the primary shall be barred from taking their seats in congress, if af terwards elected. TJiere is a penalty of not more than $1.000 fine or one year's impris onment or both for wilful violation of the law which is very hard to prove.
