Tobacco Market
Boosting
Chamber Of Commerce Opens
Up Free Advertising Cam
paign

The development of the tobacco
producing industry and the building
! UP Of the Sumter tobacco market
means the expenditure OF hundreds o1
thousands Of dollars with Sulnta1's
business establishments during The
dull summer mouths, and the paying
up III advance OF debts incurred dur
! ing the year prior to the opening oi
the tobacco market.
Judging from what is said by those
! who ought to know, and from the un-
precedented amount of tobacco seed
distributed through the Chamber of
Commerce, and by observing the in
crease in the numbers Of tobacco beds,
and new tobacco bSrns throughout ev-
cry portion of the county, it is evi-
denr. that with good seasons there
will be, by far, the biggest crop of to-
bacco ever harvested and offered for
sale in this county during July, Au-
gust and September, 1919
Sumter has juss invested abotat
twenty thousand dollars in another to-
bacco warehouse to add ITO the fa-
cilIties Of the Sumter market for
handling tobacco But other and
competitive places are also building
one and two additional tobacco ware
houses, new markets are being opene
up, and Sunter;s tobacco market will
have no walkover in securing its share
of the tobacco offered For sale.
The merchants, manufacturers,
banks, bankers, and professional men
Of Su1nter can do a lot towards prop
erly advertising the. Sumter tobacco
market and causing much tobacco to
&c sold in umter that would pos
sibly not be sold here, provided tbs
Sumter business establishments will
back up the Sumter warehousemen
and the buyers on this market this
summer.
Sumrerss business estab1ishrnen ents
should write and should talk to their
tobacco growing customers about
Sumter's tobacco market, and spread
The news, far and wide that Sumter
IS no longer a one warehouse tobacco
market but that Sumter's market
sTiil be one of the keenest Of compe-
lition in high prices this summer.
And last but not least, when the
Sumter tobacco market and trade
drawing booster trips are put on early
next month, every business and pro-
tessional Hlishment should have
aar il, the procession with plenty Of
advertising matter, and rep eseata.-
yes to tell about their own and Sam
ter's unexcelled tobacco market, traG-
i;1g and banking facilities.

Adjusting Excursion
Rates
Chamber of Commerce Protests
Against Discrimination
Against Sumter

Complaints being made to the Sum-
| ter Chamber OF Commerce that thf
Sunday Excursion fares to Charles
{ ton from Columbia were $l.oU. dno
| from Sumter TO Charleston $3.50,
| the latter via the Atlantic Coast Line
| Rail Road Company, Secretary Rear
ION took the matter up WIN Mr.. I.
9 White, general passenger agent OF
| the A. C. L. r. r. Company for ex-
planation as 20 why the fare from
Columbia TO Charleston should be so
much Tess than from Sumter to Char
eston when Sumter is about thirty
I've miles nearer to Charleston than
Columbia is. The Atlantic Coast Line
has been requested TO make the time
Of departure from Charleston cot
earlier than S.35 Sunday night The
following letter from Mr.. T. C. White
TO Secretary Reardon admits that
there is slight discrimination against
Sumter which Will De corrected DOUBT
ess by next Sunday, but the differ
snce in the fares as reported at first
was decidedly erroneous to say the
.east. If Sumter people will go on ex-
cursions on Sunday, and do, it IS ar
5ued rnat they should get the same
acconam odations as people from Col
lmbia and other points.
Mr. White writes as follows:
7 Cur letter Of June 10th, address
I'd to Mr.. Player, Ticket Agent, Suna
Ter, has been referred to the writer.
l note you state the Sunday exeur
sion fare Columbia to Charleston and
return via tne Southern Railroad is
$50, and the ticke1s sold at this fare
are good leaving Charleston at 10
p NJ Evidently you have not been
correctly Informed in as much as the
fare Columbia 10 Charleston and re-
turn via the Southern Railroad, is
ADDED, or "a total Of s2.i6. Then
again all such tickets are good re-
turning not later than the departure.
If the $50 p. m. train from Charles;
ton.
The rate from Sumter to- Charles
.on and return, via the Atlantic Coast
Line is s2.10, with war tax added,
1927, and I am frank to admit that
The fare from Sumter should be no
higher than from Columbia.
This Office has no authority to make
he reduction, but we are to day ask
ing for permission to make the rate
$500 from Sumter to Charleston and
return, plus war tax of 8 per cent, eff
eective Sunday, June 22nd, and I hope
We may be able to SO arrange.
It may not be aniss to advise you
hat in publication Of Our Sunday ex-
cursion, summer tariffs, ETC., we were
directed to place III effect the same
fares, ETC., that were in effect during
he summer season 1917, plus j2Q
GER cent and the fare S2.10 from
Sumter is the result Of the application
IF this basis. We do not sell from,
Columbia to Charleston and therefore
had no knowledge Of what fare the
Southern RailI DAD would use. how
ever had we known in the beginning
that the fare from Columbia .-ia the
Southern would be $500 our fare
would not have EXCEEDED this sum.
As above stated. I hope to nave the
care from Sumter not exceed the fare
rom Columbia not later than June
22nd.
Yours very truly,

VICTORY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
WON MAINLY BY THE WOMEN

It's difficult to appreciate the magnitude of the victory won
by Rowlett Paine, candidate for mayor; his associates on the
Citizens ticket for commissioners, and 7. G. Scarborough, candi-
date for assessor.
Some Of the things they had to fight were;
The city administration
A corrupt police force
The election commissioners
The officers, judges and clerks of election
The d~ivekeepers
The b~ootleggers
The white and black prostitutes
Fake instruction cards
Repeaters
Arrayed against this combination was a majority Of the splen-
did manhood and womanhood of Memphis,
None of the candidates on the Citizens ticket had ever been
In politics before.
They made a clean fight, and the l~aw-abiding voters, white
and black, gave them the splendid victory that they so richly
deserved. .. Nss.. = ....
The News Scimitar contributed what it could to the sue
cess Of the candidates, and il il had any part in influencing the
result of the election it is satisfied with having done its duty as
a public journal. -
Because the thieves could not steal enough votes to change
the result Of the election is no reason why the criminal court
should not take cognizance OF. the crime
This is q good time to set an example that will put to rest
any fear Of future election fraud.
1t shotad not be possible for men OF the stripe OF Dsgs
Nolan to give a shot of dope to the derelcts he controls and
send them to the polls to offset the votes OF the splendid women
who went to the polls with a prayer on their lips that their ballot
might be sanctifed to the good OF the city and make it a decent
place to rear their children
The News Srimitarghas for Mr.. Williams and his associates,
who were defeated, the lindhest feeling. There was nothing per-
sonal in our opposition 10 Mr.. Williams, We repeat what we
said during the campaign, that Mr. Williams Is a pleasant and
all affablc gentleman.
Ee owes his defeat mainly to the crowd that lined up with
him and made themselves, instead OF him, the dominant issue in
the campaign.
