TOBACCO SEASON.

Warehouses Are Ready For
Business Tuesday Morning
CITIZENS ASKED TO
ATTEND SALES
Euyers Are Here and Pros

Thee Sumter Cham ber of Commerce :
requests that the business and profess
sional men of Sumter will be well re-
presented on both of the tobacco
warehouse floors at the opening break
tomorrow, Tuesday, July goth 1t can
not be definitely announced at this
time when the first sales will be put
on, or which warehouse will sell first.
However about IL o'clock something
will be doing at one of the ware
houses.
The ladies of Sumter have a special
invitation to be present. Sumter's
business men should take a great in
tereSt in the Sumter tobacco market,
and visit the warehouses often. The
tobacco market is going to be the chief
business proposition in Sumter for
years to come following the full activ-
ities of the boil weevil El
A number of buyers representing
the largest tobacco companies ip the.
world arrived as early as last Satur->
day, and several warehouse lessees
and the Chamber of Commerce. was
put to it for a while to secure rooma
and eating places for these eleyer
, temporary business men visitors, and
some of them have brought their good
wives with them. IT is likely thai
more rooms and boarding houses will
| be required as the full force of buyers
and warehouse attaches will De i'm
some time tonight or early in the
morning.
The buyers and warehousemen and
warehouse clerks and shippers like
Sumter, and those who are so fortu-
nate as to be married men find that
their wives also Ike Sumter. These
buyers and manag ers say that Sumter
ought to be a ten million pound mar

comodating banking facilities, good
hotels and boarding houses, Churches
theatres and that Pocalla Syringe

also.
The fact that the better halves
of these Tobacco men like Sumter is a
mighty good thing for the Sumter to-
bacco market, because tobacco men
are as susceptible to skirt influence
as any other class of men, and if
Sumter has the female element OF the
tobacco industry backing up Sum-
ter's market, then Sumter will contin-
ue to have pelnty of good buyers and
their charming wives spending at least
sixty days in Sumter every summer.

Kaiser Shocked at
Sons Death
News May Be Fatal AS He Has
Suffered From Heart Trouble

Berlin, July 18 (By the Assoeia ted
Press.-Prince Joachim of Hohen-
zollern, youngest son of former En-
peror Wilhelm, committed suicide to-
day in Potsdam.
Joachim is believed to have been in
financial straits. He recently was
divorced.
Prince Joachim was born December
II. 1890, in Berlin. ell served in the
late war on both the WESTERN and
eastern fronts In the first year Of
the war he was wounded in the fight
ing in France and for long time it
was feared that he would not recover
When he did recover he was transfer
red to the Russian front where he had
several narrow escapes from capture
and afterwards suffered a serious ILL
ness.
After the defeat of the Germans
there were rumors that EmpOrer Will
liam would abdicate in favor of
Joachim.
Joachim was married in 1916 to
princess Marie Augustine of Anhalt,
who then was just II years old. A
dispatch from Paris early in the pres
ent year said Joachim had brought
suit for divorce.
The prince during the war was
ranked as popular hero in Ger
many. Since the end Of the war little
has been heard OF him. One report
was to the effect that he hoped to
come to the United States after the
peace treaty was signed.
Berlin, July 1S-Friends Of Prince
Joachim. of Hohenzollern, deny the
stories current in Berlin. that the sui
eide yesterday was caused by scandal
They say the prince was acutely en-
barrassed financially Joachim is said
to have been the favorite son of the
former emperor. Fears are expressed
that the news of the suicide may have
a fatal effect on the kaiser as he re-

trouble.
