TOBACCO OUTLOOK GOOD.
Tobacco Men Report Good Crop in
Sardinia NcighbOrhOOd.

Messrs. Finch, Marion and Pepper,
the auctioneer and ilessees Of the
tobacco warehouse, who have recent
ly been over the Sardinia ncighbOr-
hood report the outlook for Il fine
tobacco crop in that section very ia
fOrablC. The tobacco in that section
has a good stand and is growing
nicely. 1t will probably be ready for
picking sometime about the middle of
this month.
Mr.. Finch reports that there will
be tobacco buyers here for practically
all of the large tobacco companies
and some Independent buyers. AL
together it looks that Sumter's first
year into this industry will be highly
successful.
The work on the tobacco ware
house is progressing nicely and it will
be in readines in a few days now,
practically all Of the work having
already been completed.

FARMERS UNION RESOLU.

Organization of Farmers Asks Candi-
dates to Make an Issue of Watcrctl
Mcats-tarmcrs Opposed to Buy
ing Soda ON Contract.

Editor Sumter Daily Item.
The following resolutions were
passed at the regular meeting of the
Sumter County Farmers Union today:
knowing the enormous amount Of
money lost by the consumption Of
dry salt meats sold in this State, on
account of the custom Of watering
meats; we, the Sumter County Union
do hereby ask the candidates for the
senate and house to promise to have
an act passed at the next session OF
legislature making it unlawful for
meat packers to ship meat within this
State watered; also for dealers in dry
salt meats within this State to offer
for sale meats that have been water.
ed; fixing the penalty heavy enough
to stop, this practice at once, as water
is very dear living at 1Oc to 15c pei
pound.
Further, that the secretary be in
structed to notify each candidate ask
ing him to make this an issue during
the county campaign, and to express
his opinion on the subject"
The following resolution in regard
to contract buying Of nitrate of soda
was also adopted:
Owing to the building Of the
Panama Canal and reducing the
freight on nitrate of soda, the grow
ing Of SO many legumes that will do
away with the necessity of using nj
trate Of soda, and the investment of
so much capital in extracting nitro
gen from the air directly: be it c.
solved that it is the sense of this
union that our members generally
would make a mistake to purchase
nitrate of soda on contract

The Chronicle has hcsitated q bit to

hearing the gubernatorial "boys" ges-
uculate and spiel on the hustings,

no longer. and We hereby declare our
allegiance for and support Of that
able, conservative. all-round excellent
gentleman Of tho "Gamecock county

ming, for the exalted position Of chief
magistrate of South Carolina. His is
an illustrious name since the early
settlement of the Palmetto State,
several o. his antecedents having pre-
sided over the destinies Of this com.
monwealth in the position he aspires
to hold. Mr.. Manning Is a thoroughly
solid. substantial safe and sane man,
not given to demagoguery and not an
extreme partisan. II elected governor
we believe he will exercise absolute
impartiality and mete out justice with
an unerringly even hand. We repeat,
he is neither a demagogue nor an ex-
tremist, and this is the stripe Of man
that should hold this office. He is
an experienced farmer and banker
and legislator and churchman, and
above all. a gentleman, every inch Of
him. We feel fully justified in recon-
mending to all our voters the Hon. II.
1. Manning. and hope, after sitting the
evidence. they will come to cur con-
clusion. and assist in elevating this
thoroughbred "Gamecock" to the po-
sition held for the last four years by
a monstrous and blatant demagogue.
II South Carolina doesn't wake up
to her best interests. politically, on
August 25th by placing in power the
