Arkansas and Mississippi, left here Sunday en route to Florence, S. C., where they are to take a short course in soil fertility and make a tour of the surrounding territory to investigate the methods employed in fertilizing and cultivating crops. This school is being held under the auspices of Soutrern Soil Improvement committee with headquarters in Atlanta and Shreveport, La. Instead of having the short course in the West as heretofore^ the fertilizer salesmen have asked that the course be given in South Carolina in order that they might study the uses of fertilizers in a region where they are used in the greatest abundance, and with the largest returns to the farmer. It is the purpose to hear lectures from the soil improvement committee staff for two days at Florence, and to spend two or three days in automobile tours of the farms in Florence, Darlington, Dillon and Marlboro counties. On this trip they will be in personal charge of Prof. J. N. Harper, former director of the South Carolina experiment improvement coram'*' . work. This school and excursion is for Western salesmen only. In September a salesmen's school for South Carolina fertilizer salesmen will be held in Charleston under joint, auspices of Cemson college and the Southern soil improvement committee. The Western party is in charge of E. K. Huey of New Orleans und J. T. Sinclair of Shreveport and in the party are some of the agricultural college workers of the Western territory a*hn havo ht.f-.ri riclrtirf In n:irt in the program. o FATHER \ El'TLX E LIVES VP .MVSTEK1CHS PHIALS.

CLOSING WORLD MARKETS TO COTTON Central Europe Needing Cotton While Rears Beat Price Down Columbia. Aug. 24.?Telegrams pouring into headquarters of the American Cotton Association demonstrate the fact that it is fully realized by tlie agricultural and commercial interest of the South that they are feeling the most serious conditions that have confronted the South since 11*14; that regardless of the enormous demand for raw cotton and the insufficient supply, cotton is selling today at a price far below the cost of production, says a statement issued today by the American Cotton Association. The mills in England and in a large portion of America, the statement continues have gone or, one-third time, regardless of the record-breaking period of prosperity which they have just passed through and the unheard-of earnings made. The markets of central Europe, notwithstanding their pressing needs for low-grade cotton are unable to ob-< tain same. The fourteen cotton-producing states arP organized and united as never before and are determined to fight to the last ditch for a square deal. Under no conditions will they sacrifice their cotton crop which is desperately needed by the world, at unprofitable prices. Based upon supply and demand, this crop should bring .a far higher price than any price since the close of the World War and the South is determined not to permit a repetition of the crime of 1014. It is prepared to defend itself today. Cotton will go into the warehouses and the lands will be entirely planted in food crops this fall and next spring. In response to the urgent requests referred to, from every section of the Cotton Belt, n call has been issued by President Wannatnaker of the convention of the National'Board of Diiectors, Finance and Executive Committees, and members of the Association, to be held in .Montgomery, Alabama, September 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the purpose of recommending a minimum price for cotton and cottonseed, and of forming plans and waging a campaign in every section of every county and parish in the cotton prou Hiring siuies iui punning wulargest acreage in small grain this fall and food and feed crops next spring, ever planted in the history of tno South, it being decided to follow this course, after investigation as to the needs of the world for food and feed crops On account of the enormous shortage of labor in the South this will enable the cultivation of these crops I to advantage as they require far less labor and experience and do not embrace the great hazardous risk in production that cotton does. Systematic efforts will be put into force that will assure the absolute certainity of the largest reduction in cotton acreage for 1921 ever made in the South. The National Finance Committee, of which Mr. B. F. McLeod, of Charleston S. C.. is chairman, with representatives from every cotton-producing state in tbe Union, will meet with the National Executive Committee on September 1st and prepare a detailed report 10 oe suuuiuiea 10 uit- ^auuudi Board of Directors when that Board convenes on September 2nd. ! On account of the enormous increase in the scope of the work of the American Cotton Association the Board of Directors will subdivide and systematize the work into various departments, electing one of the most ; prominent and successful business ;men of the South as Vice-President 'and General Manager. They will also elect experts to head the various deapartments. each with a full working force, so as to absolutely assure the fact that the American Cotton Association will become a powerful and potential factor in the agricultural and commercial life of the South and assure the placing of the handling and marketing of the American cotton crop upon an efficient and economical business basis. The report of the special committor on co-operaiive marketing will be given special consideration at this Convention and plans will be put into effect and force to assure the uniform adoption of the co-operative plan for handling and marketing the cotton crop throughout the entire cotton bolt, thus absolutely assuring the handling and marketing of the American crop upon a strictly efficient and economical business basis; the erection of sufficient warehouses in each and every county and parish to warehouse the cotton produced therein, the cotton moving from th?* gin house to the warehouse and the sale only being made when the minimum price recommended by the American Cotton Association has been reached, thus assuring the producei a profitable price for Ins cotton. bas?d upon sniiiilv and demand and tip- co.-l of production.

The fall session of the Dillon Schools will open Tuesday, September T'h. Prof. Roberts has been tit home lot tite past week making arrangements for the opening day. There is a great shortage of leathers everywhere this year, and many towns and cities are experiencing considerable difficulty in tilling vacancies. Prof. Roberts has been very successful in his efforts to fill vacancies. He has a full corps of teachers who have had considerable experience in the work and the faculty will be much stronger this year. He is finding difficulty,, however, in getting places for the teachers to stay. The boarding houses are full and he is unable to stcure places for eight of the teachers. The only hope is to find places for them in private homes, and the citi-; zens of Dillon will have to come to-, gether and open up their homes to | the teachers until they can secure V. -J swVn- TUn.n n uuaiu ai uiun piav^s* nine uir a. number of large homes in Dillon with extra rooms and it is hoped the teachers can be placed in some of these homes. Prof. Roberts will be glad to hear from any one who can help out in this emergency. Following is a list of the teachers, for the next session: Superintendent?W. D. Roberts,' Lvkesland, S. C.

Mrs. Wilson Nearly Recorded as Having a 35-Inch Neck ______ Washington, Aug. 23?Mrs. Wood-' , row Wilson recently narrowly escap-; ed having the official records show her as possessing a thirty-five inch neck. It came about through her ad- j dition to the collection of gowns worn by president's wives now in the national museum. A manikin was needed to display the gown. Mrs. Wilson's measurements were taken for guidance of the sculptor. An assistant handling the tape measure announced the thirty-five inch neck measure? ments Mrs. Wilson never said a word. "I think you are looking at the worng side of the tape measure" ad; vised the sculptor, Wm. H. Egberts, and such proved to be the case. "I thought it was pretty big," said the president's wife good natureJly. o Chairman T. W. Berry, who has charge of the Democratic fund campaign for the county, urges the managers at all precincts to put up boxes next Tuesday for campaign contributions. The funds will be used to carry the gospel of Democracy into doubtful states.

'most costly crop ever produced, l'rices being now quoted on the exchanges are far below the cost of product ion. It will also be recommended that low grade cotton be not harvested but be permitted to remain in tin1 field for fertilizing purposes and for the purpose of feeding cat tie. This recommendation will receive the most careful consideration of tin* Convention and definite plans will be formed as to the best course to pursue, so as to assure the absolute certainty of all low-grade cotton. Telegrams and letters are b?-iug received showing that the Convection will be largely attended. As a result of the thorough organization of the American couon Association mere is no question but that plans formed at this Convention will be put into effect and force, without variation, in every section of the Cotton Belt. We are face to fav with the absolute certainty of the irpntest acreaye in food ;ind feed crops fhi? fall and the com in t: spring i cr planted in the South and the tno.-t drastic reduction in cotton acreaee in the la-' titty years.

I' Editor Dillon Herald: i will appreciate your publishing a few linos in explanation as to why i t railed to t ile my pledge as a candidate I lor re-election to the House of Keprtsentathes. 1 wish to say it is quite a disappointment to me and 1 regret even more 1 to disappoint my friends, and hope it my explanation will cause them . to bear with me and to appreciate jay ? position. 1 I quote below part of a letter writ- ? ten to me by my good wile from Hendersonville on August 16th: i "1 grant you are good, but think 11 this is one instance where you failed J to consider me certainly not first. Am i sure when you entered the race for ( re-election it was not me you thought c of. You see I have always hated win- i ters in the country, even when we were all at home and there alone is t almost unbearabie. I considered you four years and stayed at hbme with- t out a word of complaint and I did s think you should now consider me for t awhile?vice versa. You see, before1! two more years, 1 may be beyond your 1 consideration. I always try to equalizes things. However you are a candidate,Is and I do not wish to withdraw or be * defeated." Is not that explanation enough to t any fair-minded voter, especially a 1 friend of mine? 1 1 wish to say that I appreciate what i my friends have done for me, espec- c ially in this election. I know the test1 was applied to many, but they stood t steadfast. 1 appreciate friends far 1 more than dollars ana I have one; consolation; even though I failed to < comply as a candidate, I know who ' my friends are and I hope to have an ] opportunity in some way during my life to show them I appreciate them more than words can express. They; have in the past elected me "as their < Representative, and again gave me a ] complimentary return. I did my best < at on?- of Dillon County's Represen- i taiives and I am proud of the record ! 1 made. Four years I served on the ] most important committee, I fought < for liberal appropriations when it I came to education, I supported good < roads bills, I fought to exempt build- < ing and loan associations from taxa-;i tien, 1 fought the medical biil which| wcuiu nave, 11 passeo, pui our drug stores out of commission, 1 advocated 'i the fertilizer bill which was passed, ratified and became law, providing!; inspection and analysis of commercial fertilizers which I hope the farmers'; of Dillon county will read. You will! lind on Page 1150 of the Acts of! 1020, I opposed all unnecessary extravagant bills. In fact during my [terms there were approximately 3700 [bills and resolutions introduced. The I Journal will show where I stood on i all important bils. I invite any voter i of my county to scrutinize same and Isee if ninety nine per cent of the votes of J. W. Haraer did not represent the wishes of a big majority of, the tax payers and voters of Dillon county. As to the future, I know not what 1 may do politically, but you can rest assured any move I may make' will be for the interest of Dillon} county and the State of South Carolina. Again thanking the voters for thej hiirh honor bestowed uDon me bvi (electing me one of their Representa-' tives for the past two terms, I am, Yours very truly, JAS. W. HAMER. (Mr. Hauler has many friends, throughout the county who will learn with regret that he did not stand for. re-election. He took a very high stand t in the general assembly from the very! first day he entered that body, having received appointments on important, committees that usually went to old-j er members. He was a member of the1 Ways and Means Committee, the 'most important committee in the: House, and rendered valuable service while on this committee. He was one of the most alert and active] members of the House, and always] made a thorough analysis or every bill of importance before casting his vote. He entered into the floor <1 is-( cussions with an earnestness and thoroughness that quickly brought him to the forefront and won him recognition as one of the leaders in the House.
