Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
One week ago today I attended
a meeting in Opera House. It had
been well advertised but attendance
did not measure up to expectations.
Although matters Of grave import
ance were under discussion: Co.
operative Marketing and Co-ope-
rative Farming. Out on the street
heard a reason given for slender
attendance disappointment. Years
ago how many the books did not

to have some fun cried, wolf! wolf.

whole country side turned out. The
next day he repeated it with a
smaller .owd. The third day the
wolf came and he cried out in
earnestness and terror but no one
came. Certain, men were adver-
tised on uncertainty to make ad
dresses, but failed to appear. I I'M
derstand this has happened more
than once before. I know more
than one man who came from re-
mote corners of the county just to
hear those talks.
What is said above is not despair

Tobacco Market
Manager C. O. Watts of
Farmers Warehouse Work
ing For Next Seasons
Crop

Mr.. CO Watts. the manager of
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse
on East Liberty street was in Sum-
ter last Tuesday and had quite
conference regarding the building
up of the Sumter tobacco market
for 1922 with e. I. Reafdon. secre-
tary Of the Sumter County Chamber
Of Commerce, Mr.. G. A. Lennon,
president of the Farmers Tobacco
Warehouse Company, and Mr.. S. i.
Roddey, president of the Young
Mems Business League Of Sumter.
The first thing Mr. Watts did VS.
to arrange with DeLorme's Phar-
macy to sell tobacco seed at a rea-
sonab1e cost to farmers, but Mr..
Watts also hopes that if any other
seed dealers desire to sell tobacco
seed they will do so as there has
been an agreement between tobac-
co warehousemen Of South Caro-
lima that there Will be no more free
distribution of tobacco seed. The
Sumter County Chamber Of Com
fnerce served widespread notice
last fall and spring that farmers
had better save seed, not only for
their own use, but because local
farmers who did save seed, could
sell hundreds of pounds of tobacco
seed to those who did not save seeG.
DeEorme's Pharmacy will give
preference to local farmers who
have seed t. sell, paying reason
able market price for same for as
much seed as he needs. It is pre-
sumed that other local seed deal
ers interested will do the same
thing.
The Sumter County Chamber Of
Commerce and the Young Mems
Business League Of Sumter have
arranged to work together to do
what these organizations can do to
build up a bigger tobacco market in
Sumter and with the cooperation Of
Mr.. Watts, and the advantageous
prestage given Sumter's market by
our large and modern tobacco stem
merry, together with the assistance
Of Su1nter's banks and other busi-
ness establishments, inducing their
customers to plant limited acTeages
of tobacco on every faria where
conditions and LABOR are suitable
for tobacco cultivation. proper har-
vesting, and curing, it is hoped
that a large acreage Of tobacco viii
be planted rs a partial substitute
for cotton as CASH cr o2.

Expression of Appreciation
For Cooperation Of, All Who
Took Part in Fair Week
Parade

In behalf of the committee charg-
ed with the pleasant duty Of for
nation of the Pageant Of Progress
Parade of last Friday, November
18th, which was such a great sue
cess and pleasure, and which did
so much to reflect credit on and
advertise our city and county, will
you permit me to express the
thanks of the people Of Sumter
county to those who by their parti-
cipation made this long to be re-
naembered event such a great sue
cess.
1t is to be regretted that circum-
stances beyond our control prevent
ed us securing the names OF the
numerous individual and organiza-
ton Units of this procession OF
progress-but I desire 20 thank
every man, woman. boy and girl,
and every firm and corporation for
their splendid exhibition of city and
county civic pride, and to thank
our police force and fire depart
r1ent also.
To the thousands of school chill
dren and hundreds /of teachers.
from the city and rural schools,
and the numerous ladies and girls
of the rural clubs, l would tender
our sincerest thanks and express
sions of gratitude for the magnlfI-
cent public spirit they manifested.
/ would feel that am remiss in
my duty if I did not also express
our thanks to the many thousands
Of citizens from Sumter and ad-
Joining counties who showed their
appreciation of the public spirit OF
the thousands in the parade by
coming out to see and to applaud
the patriotic participants of the
procession of progress.
I have heard many citizens say,
and heartily concur in thier opln-
ion, that the Pagenant Of Progress
Parade should be>an annual event
of our county fair, and I will take
the liberty of suggesting that we
start at an early date to arrange
for the 1922 Pageant of Progress
Parade, make it bigger, and if
humanly possible, make it bette.
than last weeks parade, but human
ingenuity will be taxed to it's limit
to exceed the artistic ability DIS
played by the 1921 Pageant OF
Progress Parade.
