or sent for seed as to the number
of acres of tobacco each one said he
would prepare plant beds for, q rec
ora OF each mans acreage, address,

there will be more than five thousand
acres Of tobacco planted in Sumter

The total acreage of tobacco for
which free seed were distributed to
customers Of the Sumter tobacco
warehouse was 6,267 acres.
Hundreds Of acres of tobacco will
be planted by customers of the Sumter

furnished their own seed.

the prospects for a good summer trade

CATHOLIC CHURCH
CHANCELLOR DIES
Cardinal Anthony Agliardi Was
Also Subdean of Sacred
College at Rome
By Associaksd Press


Rome, March 19, via Paris. March
90, 4.35 A. M.-Cardinal Anthony
Agliardi, chancellor Of the Catholic
Church and subdean of the Sacred
college, died to-day at the age of SO
years. He was the titular bishop of
Albano and was proclaimed cardinal
in 1896. 1t was he who proposed to
the Sacred college on August % last
that an address be sent to the beilig-
erent powers asking that an armistice
be arranged so that a successor to
Pope Plus Y need not be elected while
blood was being shed upon the battle
field. When there was friction be-
tween the French government and
Cardinal Merry Del Val in 1906 it was
reported that Cardinal Agliardi was a
candidate for papal secretary of state.
Cardinal Agliardi WAS born at Co
logne, italy. After acting as parish
priest of his native diocese for :
years he was sent by the Pope TO
Canada as a bishops chaplain. On
his return he was appointed secretary
to the propaganda. He was appointed
archbishop of Caesarea by Pope Leo
XIII in 1884 and sent TO India to re-
port on the establishment of the hier-
archy there. In 1887 he again visited
India to carry out the terms OF the
concordat arranged with Portugal.
Cardinal Agliardi was appointed
secretary tothe Congregation in 1887;
became papal nuncio at Munich in
1889 and papal nuncio to Vienna in
1892. Allowing himself to be involved
in the ecclesiastical disputes by which
Hungary was divided in 1895 he was
made the subject of q formal COM
plant by the Hungarian government
and was recalled in 1896. His SER
vices were rewarded by cardinalate
and the archbishopric of Ferrara.
