Honest hotel keepers tell you frankly that they can offer every coin fart except quiet. Even In church you hear the tumult outside, broken at rare Intervals by the voice of the preacher. It is not simply the day? time uproar nf business hours, it In creunesj steadily from nightfall until dawn.

Over Present Prices of To? bacco ? j \ ?_ A. ti. Thompson, county engineer, mul E. I. Keardon, secretary of the Sumter couuty Chamoer of Commeroa were out through the eastern portions of Sumter and Clarendon counties last Wednesday, the former inspect? ing highways, arranging for a camp for his road gang and preparing to rebuild the Hudson bridge on Lynches Hiveis and generally overhaul roads throughout Shiloh and Mayesville townships, and Secretary Reunion ad? vertising the Sumter tobacco market as being wide open end paying the highest prices of any South Carolina market. They went by Turbeville to confer with the local committee about that section voting into Sumter county and to discuss the proposed Turbeville short cut road should Turbeville vote into this county. These two Sumterites had an un? pleasant experience between Turbeville and New Zion in Clarendon county when their car went down to the mud shields in the biggest and "soup iest" maid hole they ever encountered since Mr. Thompson left the Panama Canal works. They had a time in. mud to their anwies und in. a heavy down pour.of rain which came up just as the car went Into the. hole. Being patient citizens, they had sense enough to get in out of the rain, and climbed into their car to await a cessation of the wet weather. A negro girl camtt along with a big, juicy looking water? melon which they purchased and for a while forgot their troubles. But con? tentment, like troubles, have their time limitations. So they had to pile out and with the assistance of two travelers they pulled out the car. Secretary Ueardo/i told the Turbe? ville committee that he would not, again visit Turbeville unless he could get Mayor Jennings to take him through Clarendon county in the mayor'8 Hying machine because the roads ami bridges through .Clarendon are death, defying, deep and dilapi? dated. Notwithstanding the rain they saw many men, boys, womeh and girls of both races industrially occupl'ed in the fields pulling ana hauling tobacco to the citron: barns where hundreds more were busy sticking and tieing, and getting ready to cure the weed. Talks with many tobacco producers and merchants elicited the informa? tion that hundreds of farmers are Week* behind in the llrnt and Second curings of their tobacco, and that hun? dreds of thousands of fjounds have been cm <l and the fanners have not yet had lime to sell same, and that many an- holding for a raise in prices which they think will come with fair weather and hotter grades of tobacco. Many tobacco growers expressed their satisfaction with the Sumter tobacco market , * paying as high, and some higher prices than other markets. They all naturally wanted all they can get. But they are not pleased with the recent slump in prices which the^. howgver, believe to be merely tempo? rary. Enal neer Thompson will have the survey for the Dabbs short cut* road recently authorised to be built start? ed next week and this work will be done by "contractors as soon as the fi lnal survey and plans are cofnpleted, which will take only a short time. The roads and bridges in the ex? treme eastern sections of sumter through the Hhiloh sections were found in good condition, in fact, they looked and they rode like the latest improved model 1!?20 highways when compared with the, highways of Clar? endon county through which they tra? veled. But Sumter county 1s not sat? isfied with the present condition of th roads and propose to make our puollc highwayy* the very best that can be mailt* of them under the circum? staices until hard surfaced roads can be constructed.

Governor Hickett talked over the telephone to '/bis correspondent today regarding the exiradition proceedings inst iiutvil by him, he stated that the; South Carolina planters had, in his opinion, netted in a highhanded man? ner in seizing the negroes and tak? ing them from their work in Anson pounty. The governor expressed some dismay at the methods used. It is stated that the warrant for .the arrest of tht Hamberg planters was sworn out by one of the negro la? borers before an Anson county magis? trate. The three negroes are said to have been at work out on a farm in Aiylon Whtn seized by the three South Carolinians. The story is one of the most in? teresting that has developed in South Carolina in recent months. The two neuro hands Vft the Mayfi-eld farm near* Denmark, it is stated, and went to North Carolina. Mr. Maytield swore out a warrant for their arrest and Governor Cooper issued a re? quisition for the return of the negroes to South Carolina. This Governor Hickett declined to approve, holding that the evidnece did not support the charge brought against the negroes, of disposing of property under li<m. The Hamberg farmers are now charged with having gone to Anson couiity, scizi ig the negroes and forc? ing them to return to South Caro? lina. The trip from Anson back to Denmark was tmide, it is said, by rail. ATT?ltNEYW?LFE MAKES STATMENT On Propoged Special Session of .

OFFICERS RETIRE IM MEXICO Five Thousand Have Withdrawn in One Week GOVERNMENT WANTS A SMALLER ARMY Agriculture Lands and Factor? ies of the Country Are Short of Help Mexico City, August 4?More than 5,000 officers ana* privates in the Mex? ican army retired irom militarV ser? vice in the first week of July, accord? ing to El Heraldo. This general withdrawal from the army is the result )f a campaign re? cently launched by the government to induce a large part of the soldiers, of Mexico "to abando i the rifle for the plow," as the Mexican press is fond of phrasing it. The government's campaign foij a smaller army is due to the realization that vasi tracts of valuable agricul? tural land are in urgent need of de? velopment and that many factories in Mexico are short of help. It is point? ed out that the preuent military situa? tion ia such as to require the services of not more than 50,000 men, thus permitting the f ther thousands of men under arms to devote tbemselvqs to the task of eeonomieallyvrehabJlitat ing the country. The recent upriainngs of Generals Carlos Osuna and Jesus H. GuajaVdo hs.ve not ^altered the government's determination to reduce the personnel of the army. According to General .Antonio 1. Villarres.1, Secretary of Ag? riculture and Development, these two movements do not "present a military problem." \ Moise Will Offer For Reelection Decision Will Please Marry Vot? ers of Sumter Mr. Davis D.
