EDITHA MISSES TRAIN

When 1t comes to secrets OF the

Editha Loring- Jones. daughter Of a
baronet of England, had guessed
though snow bound by a hyperconven-
tial chaperone, the love that plain
John Paul-proudly an American

1t was true that Mrs. Orangeia
Whelpley, the chaperone, relict OF the
late Maj. Whelpley, who had obtained
his final discharge at Calcutta from
the hand of the worlds greatest com
mercial general. had been strictly
charged by Miss Editha's father to see
that no upstart Yankee had aught to
do with the young ladys affections.
Young people are meant for young
peoples company, and so Editha &
heart went out to plain John Paul

at college, and, as the leading law

FIRST BALE OF COTTON,

From the Daily Item, Aug. 10.
Mr.. E. a. Weatherly,a progressive
farmer of the Bossard's section of the
county, brought in to town today the
hrst bale of new cotton which has
been sold on the local market this
year. The cotton was graded at strict
middling and was bought by Levi
Bros for fifteen cents a pound.
1T Is a most peculiar coincidence
that this, the first bale of new cotton
OF the season, was brought into town
and sold on the 18th of tthe month.
the same day on which the first bale
of the 1912 cotton crop was sold on
the local market. In 1911 the first
bale OF new cotton was sold on the
9th, showing that the cotton crop was
about ten days earlier in that year
Of n bumper crop than last or this
year.
The bale when weighed by Mr.. j.
Il. Raffield, the cotton weigher who
has weighed the first bale for every
season for a number of years, showed
that it contained 4S6 pounds, thus
bringing Mr.. Weatherly $72.9O.
Levi Bros also bought the first
bale OF cotton last year, when they
paid 13 1-2 cents for it, At that time
the price Of cotton was somewhat
higher that it is now, thus showing
that the premium paid on the first
bale of this seasons crop was consid-
cred higher than last year.
1t was reported on the street that
another bale had been shipped in here
from Silver and that another bale was
being ginned, but neither of these had
come in at one o'clock.

The biggest thing that the Chambcr
Oh Commerce has attempted I'm many
months is tha revival of the tobacco
growing industry i'm Sumter county
and the establishment of first class
tobacco market in this city. This is
a movement that should appeal with
equal strength to the business men Of
the city and the farmers of the county
and IL there is hearty co-operation
the undertaking is assured a success.
1t will be the part Of the merchants,
banks and other business interests of
the town to provide a warehouse and
the nesessary backing TO establish
and maintain market while the
farmers should cooperate to the ex-
tent OF guaranteeing q sufficient
acreage of tobacco next season to
Keep the market going. Tobacco is
profitable crop in this county and
almost every farmer can. by the ex-
penditure of little care and energy,
put i'm at least a few acres of tobac-
co as supplemental crop. There is
money in tobacco growing and with q
local market assured the farmers
should not need much persuading to
plant a little less cotton and a few
acres of tobacco that will bring in
cash at the season that money is scar
cest The success of the enterprise
that the Chamber of Commerce Is fOs-
tering depends upon the solid support
of the business men of Sumter at the
outset. and the meeting Saturday
should be attended by the merchants
whose prosperity depends upon the
growth and development of the mar
ket facilities of the town. If there
is any tagging and holding back to
see how the movement is progressing
or any waiting to find out II the 9TH
er fellow will not do all that is neces-
sary to put the enterprise on its feet,
there will be no tobacco market in
and have always been a number of
merchants and others in this town
who are glad for some other man to
put up money and do great things to
build up the town and increase its
business. but are very timid about
risking a dollar OF their own money
all they want Is a fighting chance to
get n share OF the new business that
the enterprise OF the other men Gre
ate. We presume that this cOndi-
ton will prevail respecting the to-
bacco market to n greater or less ex-
tent, but We trust that this short
sighted and selfish policy will be
relegated to the rear as far as weak
human nature permits. and that the
meeting Saturday will be marked by
a revival OF the old time Sumter spir-
IL with a large majority of the men
who make their living in Sumter
present and ready to do their full
share to make Sumter a better and
bigger town. There is no reason save
n neglect of our opportunities why
Sumter cannot be made the best and
biggest tobacco market i'm the state
as we'll as the best and biggest cotton
market. as 1t now is and has been
for many years.
