house held meeting at the Bank of
Santee for the purpose of electing of
ficers for the coming season. This

j. A. James were elected directors
We understand that lot has been
purchased and that within the next
few days the erection of the ware
house will begin, which means a big
thing for the people of Summerton
and to tobacco planters in the vicinity.
There is approximately one thousand
or more acres of tobacco planted in
this section to be marketed the COM
ing season and the building of the
warehouse at Summerton will afford
a ready and close market for all
planters. Formerly it was necessary
for those planting tobacco to either
haul it to Manning or Sumter to find
market but the coming season will
bring market nearer home and just
as good or better prices as can be
had anywhere else.
