SUMTER COTTON MARKET.
It's the Best in the State and and Will be
Better.

A cotton buyer from another cotton
market while in Sumter lew DAYS
ago remarked, that be bad tried to
buy cotton on the Sumter market; but
that Sumter prices were fabulous
and he could not pay the high prices
paid for cotton in Sumter, SO he with.
drew from the Sumter market. II
that be the case, and it must be so OF
he wonld rot have withdrawn from
this market, then what would be the
result if the South Carolina Cotton
Growers, Association should declce to
locate their ware houses in Sumter.
With the cotton receipts OF Sumter
more than aoubled thereby, and
great many more Gotten buyers station
ed here. the competition would be
greater, and prices much higher than
they are in Sumter at present or ever
have been. Sumter is the place for
the farmers TO store their Gotten, then
to sell it. and then to ouy their
goods. We bave convenient telephone

Now that the baseball park
will be built no time will be lost
in organizing the baseball team.
Sumter has the talent and it is
gratifying to the baseball fans
to know that the voice of the
umpire will soon be heard in
this city.
The scarcity Of frying chick
ems is said to be alarming. The
grocers, who handle these birds
in the spring for the benefit OF
their customers, say that they
cannot be bought at any price.
The demand is great and there
are chickens in the country, but
the supply is short and hard
ly enough for home consump-
ton. But few are brought to
the city and those are bought in
"a hurry.
If Sumter can only secure the
railroad schedule which the
Chamber of Commerce is max
ing an earnest effort to do it will
be of benefit to those of our
merchants who are members OF
that body-also to those who
are not members.
The Chamber of Commerce is
accomplishing much good for
Sumter. Any assistance you
might lend will be appreciated
by the members of this body.

Plan TO Make This City warehouse Center
for Cotton Growers Association.

Plan 10 Make This City warehouse Center
for Cotton Growers Association.
From The Daily Item, June 1.
Mr.. E. D. Smith, president of
the South Carolina Cotton
Erowers' Association, who was
an the city fora short while this
morning, stated to a representa-
live Of The Daily Item that he
and the other officers of the as
sociation are now at work on
plans to establish at a few rail
road centres in this State large
standard cotton warehouses and
compresses to handle all the cot
ton that the Association can
control or influence, and that IN
. short time he desires to spend
q day in this city and discuss
The matter with the business
men and bank officials. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Sumter
is the best place in this section
of the State for the location OF
The warehouses and as there is
8 compress already here he
hopes That the compress COM
pany and other business men
will cooperate with the Cotton
Growers IN this undertaking.
He is confident that if the ware
houses are provided there will
De no trouble in doubling the
cotton receipts of this market
the first year and that eventual
ly Sumter can be made one OF
The greatest interior cotton
markets in the South.
MI. Smith has already taken
up the matter with the railroads
and he has assurances that the.
Association will be given favor
able rates and this being Sc
cured the creation Of a central
market here viii work to the adj
vantage Of the farmers since the
buyers would be in a position to
giive them the benefit Of the saw
ing in freight. Another thing
that would work to the benefit
ef the farmers would be the
greater number Of buyers that
would be attracted here by the
increased receipts.
Mr.. Smith stated that one of
the railroads had already ap-
preached him with a PROPOSE
ton to bring about the erection
:Df all the warehouses that would
be needed and a compress in an
other town In eastern South
Carolina ON condition that the
Association would exert its in
fuence to divert the cotton OF
this section Of the State to that
town, which, by the way, is not
now much Of a cotton market,
nor as well provided with rail
road facilities as Sumter. Mr..
Smith is altogether in favor of
Sumter, for what appear to
him to be good and sufficient
reasons. Sumter already has
the largest receipts of cotton of
any interior market in the State,
is the geographical and trade
center of the most productive
cotton growing district has the
hest railroad facilities for
bringing in and shipping out
cotton, Of any town in South
Carolina, and has a compress in
operation so that all that is
needed is the warehouse facil-
tiles.
