There is a fne opening in Sumter for
wholesale dealer in country produce of all
kinds. If the farmers had certain market
for corr, peas, bay, fodder and other pro-
duce at cash market prices they would devote
more at,ention to these products and less to
cotton. The complaint ct present ls that
cotton is the only money crop and 1t IS the
euly product that Gao always De converted
into cash without trouble. More often than
otherwise corn aud other farm products can
only lie disposed of in small quantities and
then payment is made in trade at some OF the
general merchandise stores. There ID money
to be made in country produce, and the man
who goes into the business first on scale to
handle all the business that comes TO him
will have good thing.
