about the Sumter tobacco market.
At a tobacco warehouse sale Sat
urday one OF tie most progressive
tobacco growers said that the farm
ers of. Sumter county are talking
about erecting a third tobacco ware
house in Sumter with all farmer
stockholders. in order to help bullc
up the Sumter tobacco market by
furnishing ample warehouse ani
prize room facilities. It seems that
the two warehouses here now are
not large enough, nor have they stf-
ficient floor. space in the prize ware
rooms to enable. the buyers to han
die the tobacco quick enough torget
the tobacco off Of the floors in time
tor frequent sales.
That the warehouses and prize
ware rooms have. Deer greatly con-
gested. and daily sales. greatly de-
layed and hundreds of farmers COM
PEELED to wait all day and frequently
until the next day to get their tobac-
CO unloaded can not be questioned.
Moore Bros. of the Sumter Tobacco
Warehouse have already requested the
owners of this warehouse to add On
another one hundred feet Of ware
house space, and to erect another
prize ware room for the 1920 selling
season.
The new tobacco warehouse, oper-
ated by Knott and Newton under the
! name of the Banner Tobacco Ware
house will necessarily have to have
onnfhoF
and the owners Of this building will
undoubtedly have the necessary prize
rooms built in ample time for the
1920 selling season.
The warehousemen at both Sumter
houses seem optimistic about Sum
ter's future as a tobacco market.
Messrs. Knott and Newton, and the
Messrs Moore Bros have worked
very hard. and have done everything
within, their power to make Sumter
a big tobacco market. They have al
! ready added greatly to the amount OF
tobacco sold on this market, and these
gentlemen should have the enthus-
iastfc and unstinted financial support
and working cooperation Of the mer-
chants, bankers, and farmers OF this
county, the tobacco growers especial
ly in the development Of the. Sumter
tobacco market.
The Chamber of Commerce has no
tilted the warehousemen of both Sum
ter houses that a meeting of the Of
ffcers and directors of the two cor
porations owning the two warehouses
will be called before the 1919 selling
season closes. or just as soon as it
closes. to confer with the local ware
