Secretary Reardon Of the Chamber

the city be notified that he has been
o'hcially instructed TO cafr on them
within IN eneXt few days and solicit
contributions to a fund to be used
for the purchase Of tobacco seed for
free distribution among farmers in
the territory adjacent to the Sumter
market. 1t has been the custom OF
the Tobacco warchousemen Of Sumter
To furnish Tobacco seed for free dis
tribution annually and the farmers
nave came to expect free seed. Thus
FAR the warehouses have not been
leased for next season and therefore
there is no one to whom the farmers
can look for the customary donation
OF tobacco seed This puts il up to
the business men Of Sumter and the
job OF collecting the necessary money
and the looking after the distribution
OF the seed has been delegated TO
Secretary RoardOn. He will make the
canvass as quickly as possible, as the
farmers will need the seed early in
January, and what is TO be done
must be done quickly.
