FERTILIZE!* MEX TO
VISIT DILLOX.
Sixty Salesmen Lett .New Orleans
Sunday for Visit Through Tee
Dee Section.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 23?Sixty
fertilizer salesmen of Louisiana, Tex-1
as. 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

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

SCHOOL Oi'EXS SEITEMBEK 7tli.
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

can be placed in some of these

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.

'most costly crop ever produced,

are far below the cost of

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.

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,

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

'most important committee in the:
House, and rendered valuable service
while on this committee. He was
