Town Council News
Through the kindness of Mr. A. B.
Jordan we have been offered a short
space in each issue of The Herald to
Inform our citizens as to our town
government.
We court publicity in our official
capacity. If as taxpayer or as a customer
for lights and water you have
any grievance consult our Mayor or
out efficient town clerk, Mrs. Watson,
who promises to try to look I
pleasant and answer all questions the |
best she can. Mrs. Watson will keep l
the town hall open from 9 a. m. until
5 p. m. All rtecords in that office
are open for public inspection.
Whether you favored or opposed the
present administration you will receive
courteous and respectful consideration
any time you call at the
city clerk's office.
The new town officers were officially
installed on April 20th. It was
ageed that no changes in town government
would be made until we feel
sure the change would be for the
public good.
* We found the books of the town
^jparently well kept. Mr. Montague
submitted his audit of city finances.
We find the town has outstanding
bonds to the amount of $100,000.
$5000 six per cent electric light
bonds maturing 1942; $15,000 new
electric light bonds five per cent, due
19 50; $3,000 supplemental electric
light bonds due 1952; $39,000 water
works bonds five per cent due 1952;!
$38,000 sewerage bonds five per cent,
due 1952.
We find the town is due a note at!
First National Bank for $7000, due.
December 31. 1921. This will be re-j
placed when property owners pay!
their part of cement paving.
Open accounts due by town $1,-|
577.23. We estimate we can collect,
from unpaid taxes per books $3500,(
and of this w? will have an interest!
payment on bonds of $2,525.00 due
June 1st.
Wo find no sinking fund on hand,
though according to law it is the duty!
of the council each year to levy a'
tax sufflci'ent to pay interest on the
bonds, $5,050.00, and to establish a
sinking fund one fortieth part of the
outstanding bonds. This would have
required $2,500 raised each year and
to be securely invested to retire the
bonds when they come due. No special
tax has ever been levied as a
sinking fund until the last two years.
During that time $11,094.56 in taxe6
were collected but seems to have
been used in paying general expenses
as we find no sinking fund investment.
We find that the Public Works
Commission owe approximately $25,000.
This sum is represented by improvements
and repairs on the light
l?iam ana xo iosseg me last rour or
L^> five years. If the town government
f assumes this $25,000 indebtedness it
. is going to be necessary to pet
through a bond issue. Of this sum
only $9000, is now covered by a note.
The balance due is represented by
numerous open accounts some of
which have been due for months. An
effort is now being made to see if
We cannot buy current cheaper
from the Cotton Mills or from some
9 private company than we can produce
it with the present plant.

On Friday afternoon May 6th the
Local Post American Legion buried
Corporal Lexington Brown, one of the
boys who gave his life for tho cause
that we are all proud to say that we
helped win. Corporal Lexington
Brown was buried at Mount Holly
cemetery. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W- C. Allen.
Corporal Lexington Brown went to
France with Company A. 131st Infantry
of the 33rd Division. His regiment
was assigned to duty on the English
front and it was here where he was
gassed August 14th, 1918. He was
sent back to a hospital where he remained
until May 1919 when he was
sent back to the states. After coming
home he was discharged from the
service and gjent to a private sanitorium
by the government in Tuscon,
Ariz. He remained ther? trying to out
live the gass which had disabled him
for life until he died April 30th,
1921.

MAY TAKE UP RAILROAD
BROWNSVILLE TO SELLERS
Claimed that This Piece of Road In 1
Being Operated at Big Loss? t
Hearing to be Held Soon. I
]
Pee I>ee Advocate. 1
The Bennettsville and Cheraw I
Railroad Company has made applica- 1
tion to the South Carolina railroad i
commission for permission to aban- ;
don and take up eleven miles of its i
track, the piece between Brownsville ;
and Sellers. The road now runs j
from Kollock, where it connects with |
the Seaboard, to Sellers, connecting j
there with main line of the Coast
Line. It also onnrnWs flt Ronnotto
ville with the Coast Line. !
It is claimed that the road gets
very little business south of Brownsville,
and that section is being operated
at a big loss. Figures prepared
by the company for the railroad commission
show that there was a loss
of $16,000 on thi8 11 mile section
mst year. 1
Railroad Commissioners Shealey
and Arnold were here several days
ago, and went over the! BrownsvilleSellers
section with President Heckart
and other officers of the B. and
C. It was decided that a public
hearing will be held, at which the
railroad representatives and others ,
will be heard, for or against the proposition
to take up the Brownsville
and Sellers end of the road. The
date and place of this hearing has
not yet been announced.
There is a railroad, the Marion
Southern, running from Brownsville!
to Marion, an d crossing the Coast |
I.ine about two miles southeast of!
Sellers. This almost parallels the.
B. and C. from Brownsville to Sellers.
The Marion Southern is only nj
log road, however. It has never op-j
orated passenger trains, and there Is J
no probability that it ever will. Iri
fact, the road is now rapidly falling
into decay, and has been abandoned

DILLON CAN DO AS WELL
Dr. S. C. Henslee, who was a niemK?r
of the party of Dillon physicians
that attended the meeting of the N.
3. Carolina Medical Association at
Pinehurst several days ago. was very
much impressed vith the many fine
Peach orchards he saw in the Pinehurst
section. The orchards gave
promise of such abundant yields this
year that Dr. Henslee was moved to
make some inquiries concerning the
F'inehurst peach industry and he
gathered quite a lot of valuable information
which Ive is passing on to
his Dillon friends. Great riches were
reaped from the Pinehurst peach orchards
last year, said Dr. Henslee. 1
There is very little expense attachd
to the cultivation of the peaches, and
when the trees begin to bear it is like
taking nuggets out of a gold tuine. 1
Peaches brought fancy prices last year i
said Dr. Henslee. and many growers i
have sold the 1921 crop ahead at fancy
prices. Dr. Henslee examined the
soil carefully and he savs we have the
same character of soil on the east
side of Liftl*e Pee Dee. He is of the
opinion that the sandy lands of the
Pee Dee ran be made to produce as
abundantly as the lands of the Pinehurst
section, and if these lands were
cmered with fruit-producing peach
trees they would be worth more per;
acre than the best cotton and tobac-|
cc lands in the county. Dr. He-nslee
imparted the information he gathered
to Messrs. Iseah McKenzie and
Pearl Wiggins, prosperous farmers of
the Mt. Calvary Section, and they became
so much interested that they,
have decided to make a trip to Pine-I
hurst and study the peach growing
industry at first hand. The editor of I
tbi Herald has seen these Pinehurstj
peach orchards and shares Dr. Henslee's
opinion that the same industry
can be nn.de just as profitable in Dillon
county. The land is the same and
if the orchards were cultivated under j
thc. personal supervision of our land|
owners we believe the production |
would be greater because the Pine-j
hurst orchards are owned by men |
who live in the north and the grow-j
ing of the poach crops is under thej
supervision of hired men. We trust I
Messrs. McKenzie and Wiggins will
make a visit to this very interesting
section and after making their investigation
decide to ergage in the industry.

1IOKSE RACES MAY 30TH.
On Monday, May 30tli, at two j
o'clock P. M., the Dillon Driving Association
will hold its first racing
meet of the year at the race track at
the fair grounds. There will be four
races, a 2:30 pace, 2:27 trot, 2:16
trot and a free for all pace. These
races promise to be up to the usual
good standard of the races had at
Dillon, and Dillon has the reputation:
of always giving the public a good:
race. There are now at the track intraining
over twenty horses, six are:
in training at the private track ofi
M. S. Britt at Little Hock and eight)
at the private track of Clarence McLaurin
at Mintnrn In urlHiti^n
those local horses the association has]
the assurance of entries from Maxton.,
Mullins, Marion and Florence.
Immediately after these races some'
of the horseg will be shipped north1
to race, a part going to Ohio and a
few to Philadelphia. consequently
the public will have the opportunity
of seeing horses perform at Dillon,
that will race against the best horses'
of the north and east.
The admission fee will be 7."c'
which includes war tax, grand stand
and automobile.
There is also at the track Henry!
Putney, one of the handsomest young
stallions in the country, which is he-,
ing used for breeding purposes this

I Dion H. Butler in Ralei?:h News an 1

1 have never yet become reconciled
to that expression, "money crop.'
Perhaps because It was a new one tc
me when I cam to North Carolina, 01
perhaps because I ant not friendl)
toward it on general principles. I!

Ing thing, for any thing that It
made on the farm or garden should
b" a money crop as much us any other
if we want to make it such. Years
ago I published a country paper in a
rniall northern village, and the village
was surrounded by thriflj
farms. That paper was a stoad>
money maker as long as 1 was interested
there, and it is still thriving
for the farmers were as dependable
as the bank. From timc to time thej
would come in. pay their subscription:
and I never remember sending out s
statement to one of them. The stores
liked to advertise with us becaus<
tiie farmers who read the papef wen
good patron.s of the stores, and bust
ness flourished in the community. It
our printing office on Saturday nigh
we made out checks for every bil
that had come in during the woe'
and Sunday never dawned with ai
account due in that shop. We di?counted
every bill.
But the farmers made no mone:
crop, and if they had b?-en aske:
about money crops they would no
have known what was meant. Th
community made no cotton, no to
hacco, no wheat for sale on any hi
scale, and looked bark to those day
I can hardly say what those farmer
did to build up such a thrifty rum
neighborhood as they wore, for the
an nan a nine money, ana goo
homes, and pood buggies and poo
horses, and an orpan in the parloi
cattle on the ranges.
Didn't Need Money Crop*.
To begin with they did not nee
money crops like the farmer doe
who makes a money crop, for the
never had time accounts to pay i
the fall when the money crop cam
off. They had no fertilizer bills wait
ing for their distressed product. The
owed nothing for supplies, and iha
is another word I never heard in cor
nection with farming until I com
Into the money crop belt. In the sec
tion I speak of the farmer made hi
supplies instead of buying them, am
he also made supplies for the folk
in town, and a few loads of hay fo
the mine mules at tlie neighborhooi
mines nnd some oats for the horse
to sell to the min0 stores in the coun
ty, and butter and eggs and along h
the fall you would see a farmer driv
in with a wagon load of big red
pies that he would sell out to lis lowi
folks for a dollar a bushel, and the;
were worth the money. The farme
made a little wheat for his own uses
and generally when he brought i
grist of ten or fifteen bushels to th
mill to be ground he lot the mille
have a little of it for cash. H
brought some corn in that way. H"
brought in a bunch of turkeys aloni
about Thanksgiving day and Christ
mas, and a good turkey sold for i
dollar. Eggs and butter at the vll
lage stores were good for what eve
in trade he wanted, so the womei
folks usually came along to trade fo
a little coffee and sugar, and som
/I f e rrAn/lc nn/1 ni SaAollon aaiio nl mi/1
er, and in the spring those who ha
maple trees on the farm madr molass
es and sugar and folks in the villas
and in Pittsburgh liked to have a fe\
gallons of it, for it was good. It soli
for a dollar a gallon. A dollar was i
staple coin in that village, and it wa
a pretty big one at that. In the fal
the farmer brought in an occasions
hog that he had left above what h
needed at home, and it sold readil
t) a town man, or perhaps two fam
lies would take It between them. W
all lived pretty much on what th
farmer brought In to sell us, and a
the newspaper shop we took a turke
or a bushel of apples or somethln;
of that sort just as readily as w
took a dollar and a half for the pap
ei. In a long box that held about si
or eight bushels we duinned the an
pies and when neighbors dropped 1]
they frequently helped themselves t
our apples as w? did when we wen
to their pieces.
Paid Cash.
Still they had no money crop up ii
that country, but if a farmer wante<
to buy a mowing machine along in th
middle of the summer when Tomm;
Hutchison unloaded a ear of them a
the freight station and delivered then
all at once to make a spectacular dis
play of what ttd was doing in th? wa;
of farm implements he went horn
with his pocket full of checks or i
wad of bills, for the farmer had i

| ('burning Hints for Butter Makers j
!j 1. Clean milk and cream.
11 Butter making begins with the
'production of the milk. Wash and dry
judder of cow before milking. Clean
I dry hands and clean clothes for the)
milker are essential. The thorough 1
cleaning and sterilizing of all dairy
1 utensils is essential to the production
' of butter of good flavor. Do not usei
? rusty pails. Always rinse milk ves-i
|8els with cool or tepid water to re-j
r move all milk. Then wash in hot)
water containing a small amount of
..washing powder and scrub with a
. brush. Scald in boiling water, then]
[ dtain by their own heat. Do not use
soup on dairy utensils.
( Care of Cdeam
Cool milk immediately after milking.
Cold water around the vessel:
! containing the milk is one of the;
[ best ways to reduce temperature.
Keep milk covered to protect fronij
flies und dust.
^ When as many as six or morc cows
' are kept it generally pays to have a
separator. Where fewer cows than
*'jsix are kept the cream tuay be hand-,
11 skimmed.
' After the cream is skimmed off.
keep in a cool plaoj. and autl ? it the
' i cream from other milking until
" enough ig secured for churning. Stir
1 er< am thoroughly each time more is]
1 added. Never mix warm and cold
1 milk together
< | llipcning or Souring the Cream
11; To ripen or sour cream warm from
" er. to 7 degrees F. and It old at that
itemperature until a mild aeid flavor
v i-? developed. This may be done by
l,plocii ' the vessel of mill: in hot watt
ior until it reaches the desired torn
e.peraUiro. a thermometer should ali.
ways he used in order to know that
p proper temperatures have been oh
s taiued. If the whole milk is to ho
s used, it i? best to let it clabber. If
,1 en-am is used, do not ict it clabbtt
y oi too sour. Stir occassionally as
d it ripens. Cream that is too sour
d makes poor butter.
[.I Churning Temperature,
j Hold milk or cream at churning
{temperature for at least 2 hours before
churning. This temperature
should be such that (1) the cliurn*
Jng will require from 30 to 40 minJ
|utes and (21 the butter granules
" will be firm without being hard. Usc|Ually
the temperature ranges from
f>2 to 60 degrees in summer and from
*',68 to 66 degrees in winter. For
*1whole milk it will be from 60 to 70
l" I degrees.
el Preparing the Churn.
| Clean and scald the churn, then
s cool thoroughly with cold water. The
A butter paddles, worker and printer

di Straining; and Coloring
* Pour cream through coarse sieve
-(into churn. In winter it is advisable,
n to add 8 or 10 drops of a pure vege-1
e table butter color for each pound o I
- butter you expect to get.
n Kind of < hum.
y\ The best churns are those that so-'
r cure the most agitation of the milk
i, by revolving or throwing it againsti
a thr inside of the churn. Any churn
e that depends solely on the dasher will
r not secure all the butter for it does
e not agitate the cream thoroughly
0'enough.
j. Churning.
When the butter granules the
a size of a small pea, stop churning.
Keep butter in granular stage.
Wiisliiug Hotter
When butter has reached ernniilsn
Vstage, drain off the butter milk;
r through a fine strainer to catch par-1
e ticular of butter. Add as much wash 1
water as you have butter milk and;
11 of about the same temperature. Af-j
ter adding water turn churn a few!
? times to get all milk from butter
v granules. Buttermilk must be wash-!
ed out. not worked out. Drain off
