Sumter's Noted Tobacco
Grower Abandons Weed

J. C. Carter, Sumter's famous to-
bacco grower, has quit the weed al
together.
Il didn't plant any tobacco this
year." he said while in Americus
yesterday, "and I've parted company
with it altogether. | got so that as
fast as | burned up one cigar l
wanted to start on another, and the
use of the weed began to make me
nervous, so | decided to quit its use"
He then said that though he had
made some money in the production
OF tobacco in past years, he had de-
cided not to plant any of it this year
because of the labor situation. To-
bacco, Mr.. Carter says, is a crop that
requires constant attention, and with
his other interests he found that he
did not have the time to devote to
its culture. His tobacco land in
Florida, he stated, had been leased
to tenant, and thus his connection
with the weed had been severed en-
tirely.

MRS. LASSITER
ASKS$l,OOOBAC
Says Amount Was Ad-
vanced to Buy Car
For Husband

Mrs. J. w. Lassiter, wife of the
former assistant superintendent of
county roads, appeared before the
county commissioners yesterday ask
ing that she be reimbursed for GER
tain expenditures made by her in the
purchase of an automobile used by
her husband during his connection
with the county road administration.
1t appears that Lassiter some time
ago asked the commissioners for per-
mission to purchase an automobile,
and that an arrangement was perfect
ed at that time whereby Mrs. Lassi-
ter was to nav $1,000 Of the purchase
price of the car. She was to be re-
imbursed for this at some later per-
iod, it is contended, and her husband
being no longer in the employ of the
county she now asks the commission
ers to pay the sum advanced by her
for the purchase of the car.
The matter was discussed by the
commissioners at some length and it
was finally resolved to order the car
sold, with the disposition of the mon
ey realized to be determined after
this has been done. T. F. Gatewood,
Jr,, of Gatewood & Todd, who sold
the car to the county, was instructed
by the board to dispose of the car
and the proceeds will be turned over
to the county authorities, who will
then determine what sum shall be
paid Mrs. Lassiter, it was stated af-
ter the meeting had adjourned.
