Reports were , received as to the progress of the i campaign in all sections of the state. These reports show that while the financial obective of the campaign has not yet been attained, a very substo.n tial increase in membership has been effected, so that the i development board is now represented by active members in every county in the state. Communications were read front several of the district campaign com? mittees, and from quite a number of the county campaign committees urg? ing that campaign bo postponed until fall. In nearly all cases the recom? mendation was based upon the ground that the present time is not propitious for money raising campaigns because of the tightening of the money mark? et; In fact that many of the leading business men in all sections are away on their summer vacations, and be? cause the farmers of the state, who are deeply interested in 'the work ot the development board, will be in a better position to subscribe for pro? motional work 'after the harvest sea? son. ? These recommendations were csre fully considered by the members of the state campaign committee and by unanimous action of those present it was decided to postpone further in? tensive campaign effort'until the fall season. Due* notice of the resumption of campaign activities to be given by the state committee. Mr. George R. Wheeler, executive manager of the development board, was present and called attention td the fact that the reorganization of the board in aOOCrdance with the plan ?St out in the campaign was now* bcine* elected. He stated that on Wednes? day last the old Board of Control met! at Charleston and adopted new by? laws. Under these by-laws meetings are now being held throughout, the state to organize the membership in each county and select representa? tives for the New Hoard of Control. He added that the newly chosen Board of Control would he called together at Columbia in about two weeks at which time a definite program of work would he formulated to g'lidcj the organization during the ensuing year. At the same time directors and new oficers for tho Development Board wil be chosen. In discussing the action of the State) Committee In postponing the cam? paign until fall. Governor R. A Cooper who Is chairman of the committee, made th-? following statement. "We are not at all discouraged. Thif* first effort to adequately tiananoo an efficient agency for state wide promo? tional work ha.4 not?within the pe? riod of time originally given to tne. OSmpaign? resulted In raising the full amoUAt of money which the plans of the Board called for. "We feel that the campaign has been immense'y successful in that through the splendid co-operntion and support given by the state press, the idea of cooperative effort along these new lines has been carried to our peo? ple In all sections of the state. While there haes been some here and there who may have questioned detal s of the plan put forward by the Develop? ment Board, there was practically un? animous endorsement of the need for well directed service to attain the ends whh'h the Board hopes and plans to achieve, "In this situation we are gratified that at this time, and as the result of such effort as hau ben made, sufficient fundg) have been provided to pur. the machinery in motion, and' the mem? bers of our committee feel that a sus? pension or campaign activities until the hot season and until financial con? ditions ar?> Improved, is wise, because it will give opportunity for the people i of the state to become more fully advised as to the merits of the propo? sition; as to the workability of the plan and its promise of real benefit to Booth Carolina. Under the more fav? orable conditions which will -exist later jln the year, and after the national election. I am sure that the people of South Carolina will wish to see this? [laudable undertaking made a full suc ! cess." i . _ Anti-Saloon League _Will Meet Gather in Washington to De? cide Which Candidate to Support Columbus.

TOBACCO SEASON WILL OP Warehouses Are Ready Fo Business Tuesday Morning CITIZENS ASKED TO ATTEND SALES Fuyers Are Here and Pros? pects Are Bright For Great Season For Sunter Thee Bumter Chamber of Commerce requests that the business and profes? sional men of Sumter will be well re? presented on both of the tobacco warehouse Moers at the opening break tomorrow, Tuesday, July 20th It can not be definitely announced at this time when the first sales will be put on, or which warehouse wilt sell first. However about 11 o'clock something will b? doing at one of the ware? houses. The ladies of Sumter have a special invitation to be present. Sumter'sl business men should take a great in? terest in the Sumter tobacco market, and visit the warehouses often. The tobacco market is gring to be the chief business proposition in Sumter for years to come following the full activ? ities of the boll weevil. A number of buyers representing the largest tobac co companies in the , . world arrived as e:.rly as last Sutur-y ] day, und several warehouse lessees and the Chamber of Commerce was put to it for a while to secure rooma and eating places for these cleVer, temporary' business men visitors, and some of them have brought their ?ood wives with them. Tt is likely thai more rooms and boarding houses will be required as the "ull force of buyers and warehouse altaehes will oe in some time tonight or early ir the morning. The buyers and warehousemen and warehouse clerks and shippers like Sumter, and those who are so fortu? nate as to be mai ried men find that their wives also 1 ke Sumter.

The fact that the "better halves'* of these tobaco men like Sumu r is a mighty good thine for the Sumter to? bacco market, because tobacco men are as susceptible to "skirt influence" as any other class of men, and If Bumter has the female element of the tobaccco industry backing up Sum ter's market, then Sumter will contin? ue to have pelnty of good buyers and their charming wives spending at least sixty days in Sunn er every summer.
