STILD PLANTING TOBACCO.

Will Probably Plant 5000 Acres in
Sumter County.
That there will be between $500
and 5000 acres Of tobacco planted in
Sumter county during the year is
the report of Secretary Reardon Of
the Chamber of Commerce. A num-
ber Of farmers have recently decided
to plant. who had previously stated
that they would not plant, and others
have decided to increase their acreage
In tobacco.
During the past week there were
q number Of requests for tobacco
seed at the Chamber Of Commerce,
the applicants being supplied. This in
dicates that farmers are still pre-
pairing their tobacco beds and getting
ready to plant.
1t Is reported that several new
barns are being built in various parts
Of the county and q number Of old
barns, which have been used for 9TH
er purposes for q number Of years,
are being put in condition to care for
the tobacco crop when it is gather
ed this summer.

Give Children Honey.

Prof. Cook says: 1--WE all know
how children long for candy. This
longing voices need, and is another
evidence Of the necessity of sugar in
our diet*** Children should be given
all the honey at each mealtime that
they will eat. 1t is safer; will large
ly do away with the inordinate long
ing for candy and other sweets; and
in lessening the desire will doubtless
diminish the amount Of cane sugar
eaten. Then if cane sugar does work
mischief with health, the harm may
be prevented"
Ask the average child whether he
will have honey alone on his bread.
or butter alone, and almost invari-
ably he will PROMPTLY answer, Hon
ey." Yet seldom are the needs or
the tastes Of the child properly con-
suited. The old man Graves fat meat:
the child loathes it. He wants sweet,
not fat He delights to eat honey;
1t is wholesome food for him, and
Is not expensive. Why should he not
have it
Sugar is much used in hot drinks,
as in coffee and tea. The substitution
of a mild-flavored honey in such
uses may be a very profitable thing
for the health.

SUMTER WIDELY KNOWN.
Chamber OF Commerce Gets Commu
nicatiOn from Berlin

Chamber OF Commerce Gets Commu-
nication from Berlin.
= That the Sumter Chamber Of Com
merce' Is widely, known organization
may be gathered from the fact that
almost daily it receives inquiries from
all sections Of the United States and
from Canada concerning the "City
Manager Plan of municipal govern
ment" first inaugurated by Sumter,
but it is even more widely known
than that, for recently letter came
from Berlin, Germany, more than A.
600 miles across the Atlantic, asking
the Sumter Chamber Of Commerce to
indorse resolutions in favor Of a uni
versal international postage system.
Secretary Reardon was somewhat
taken aback by the German printed
on the envelope and it had already
come into his mind that he must get
a German to interpret the letter, but
after he opened it he found it printed
in English and felt better over it. He
has not yet exactly decided who the
organization is from whom the letter
was sent. but he copied the German
and let the answer go to the address
given, eN N If he did not know who OF
what it was.
