OF Commerce knows. and secured in
formation. The first, or one Of the
first questions asked was, What in
terest does the business interests of
sumter. the mercantile and banking
concerns, take in inducing farmers to
grow tobacco?"
The leading tobacco markets es-
tablished in cotton growing belts were
puilt up as result largely Of the
business men of the commercial and
financial centers of population inter-
esting themselves in diversifcation of
Held products, tobacco particularly. I
can make Sumter the leading tobacco
market of South Carolina with anoth-
er warehouse, and the merchants and
bankers cooperating with me. 1 didn't
expect to make any money on the
sumter market the first season of
1914. / spent several months with nv
partner, Mr.. Marion, and we spent our
money to begin the tobacco business
In Sumter last year. We have spent
hundreds Of dollars and many weeks
here this year going out among the
tobacco planters at an expense of
about fifteen dollars a day for auto
mobile hire, board, and other ex-
penses, showing the farmers how to
harvest and to cure tobacco. Now it
1T is seen that Sumter is going to be a
big tobacco market. Hence the ma
iicious falsehoods to cripple the
Sumter market. All we ask Is for the
business men of Sumter, and the
farmers Of the Pee Dee to stick by
us and we will make Sumter sell a
million dollars worth of tobacco q
year in a couple of years. Come out
on the booster trip with us on July
21st."

co market. Sumter being q new mar
ket, In a sense that the tobacco in
dustry was abolished at Sumter for
many years. until 1914, when the
present warehouse was erected with
Messrs. Pepper and Marion as lessees.
he had some difficulty in convincing
the leading tobacco concerns last sea-
son that Sumter was a good opening
for tobacco market.
However the season of 1914 al
though not as favorable as it might
nave been, due to a shortage of to-
Dacco tributary to the Sumter mar
ket, nevertheless more than half q
million pounds were sold on the Sum-
ter market, the prices averaging high
er than any other market in the
Pee Dee section of this State. All of
the farmers of Sumter and Clarendon
counties who sold on the Sumter mar
ket during 1914. were exceedingly we'll
pleased with Messrs. Pepper and Ma
rion, and with the tobacco buyers on
this market. Eight hundred dollars
were collected and distributed bv the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce in
prizes during the 1914 season to in
duce farmers to patronize Sumter's g
new warehouse in order to see what
we had to offer them.
The Sumter Chamber of Commerce
distributed. for Pepper and Marion.
during the early part Of 1915 free to-
bacco seed for nearly twelve thousand
acres Of tobacco, giving each appli-
cant double the quantity required for
plant beds- The Chamber of Com
merce tobacco record book shows
nearly eight hundred applicants, ag-
gregating nearly seven thousand acres
OF tobacco prepared for In beds. Not
n single instance Of bed being
thrown away has been reported. and
owing to the fact that nearly every
one who planted bed had more
plants than needed. a great many who
had not intended planting tobacco Sc
cured the extra plants and started to-
bacco growing. 1t being easier, of
course. to accept than grow plants in
beds.
Mr. Pepper requested this further
statement made: He said 1T have
been assured by leading tobacco con-
Germs of this country that owing to
the accessibility of Sumter to so manv
fine tobacco growing counties, and
the fact that Sumter has nine lines of
railway. that these tobacco concerns
desire to make Sumter one of the
leading tobacco markets of this State,
with view of locating stemmeries
and drying plants at Sumter, and for
tobacco manufacturing. Representa-

twenty two were Americans, was
attacked by a torpedo which bare

until she was out of range.
To substantiate the statement
that the German commander was
inclined to follow his orders 1t Is
stated that he soon after allowed
the steamer Normandie, carrying
