TOBACCO CltOWKltS TO MIIHT Will Kiwihs Cooperative Marketing at Dillon Tomorrow. Tomorrow at 10:30 o'clock the tobacco growers of Dillon county will meet at the court house for the purV rose of hearing talks on the eooper? atlve marketing of tobacco. Addresses will be made by Bright Williameon of Darlington and T. B. Young of Florence. The object of the meeting is to explain to the farmers of the county ' the advantages of the cooperative! marketing plan and if possible to form an organization in the county. The Herald has no figures on the advantages of the cooperative marketing nlsin Imf 11 'In"" l"' that where the plan has been tried it has been successful. Last year the Canadian tobacco growers organized a cooperative marketing association, and according to statements appearing in many of the leading farm journals they managed to get twice as much for their tobacco. "While tobacco was selling in Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas at from 10 to 30 cents a pound it was bringing in Canada from 30 to 60 cents a pound. There may be a difference in the grades, but the difference could not be great enough to double the price of the ^ ^'"'anadian weed. '1 <fine of the biggest disadvantages "Violina planter works under is 1 hefft marketing period. The value if in t-wai-uv u up ]ii uif rt*t. L/rv J>i is something like $20,000,000, l^inis vast amount of tobacco is sold * in it tie more than a month. The warehouses do not remain open long because the buyers will not stay, and the farmer must rush his tobacco on the market whether the price suits him or not. It has been noticeable for the past several year$ that the South Carolina markets have opened low and the prices improved as the North Carolina and Virginia markets opened. South Carolina tobacco has been slypped to North Carlina and Virginia markets and sold at a tremendous profit in just a few weeks after it was sold on our markets. There will be a big tobacco acreage in Dillon county next year and plans should be put on foot now to help the farmer get every dollar It is worth. It is conservatively estimated that Dillon county alone lost this f summer $200,000.00 because of its lack of system in the marketinp of the local crop. . The warehouses are powerless to remedy the situation without the cooperation of the farmer. The buyer controls the market and it opens and closes at his pleasure. If tobacco is not coming in very fast he can give notice that the market will close on a certain day and that means a rush of tobacco to the markets. A rush means lower prices and the farmer suffers. Every tobacco planter in the county is urged to be present at tomorrow's meeting. Cooperation between tobacco farmers is not a new thing. It has been tried out in other sections and has proved successful. Nearly the whole state of North Carolia is organized into a cooperative association, and associations are being formed in Georgia and Virginia. Messrs. Willj^jgTsnn and Young have studied rne cooperative marketing plan from every angle and they are com ing prepared to point out its many advantages to the farmers of Dillon county. It will pay to attend the meeting. o Aged Colored Man Dies. Henry Manning died on Saturday afternoon at Bethel church. Old Uncle Henry was the oldest person in this community and there in no aouoi as to nis ueiiig a reui ceiiifiiui ian. Of (his there is no proof, but his memory up to a few months prior to his death was remarkably fresh and hi/ reminiscences ran back to the tfnie he lived in Virginia and he could recount vivid recollections of when as a yearling lad in his teens he rode on horse back with a large aggregation of slaves to be ?old in tfjis section. He was sold in the field only a few hundred yards from where he died. His purchaser was Meely Manning the ancestor of so c many Mannings in thia section. Though only a stripling boy the year he was brought here he had recollec tions of the presidential campaign in which Henry Clay was an active figure and Jackson was made president with Martin Van Buren VicePresident. He had a confused idea of a great stir against the masons the year he came to South Carolina. These notable occurrences of 1832 which he was fond of recalling toi *4,her with his general appearance Ind the age of his oldest sons conJK^Ciced those who knew him of his V age. At his funeral the state? was made that he was 108 ytfr ''years old. He must have been near / that age. I / / WnllArV VfiV 7 b / L? o Rent Our Prices. c At Henderson, N. C., last Thursday 172,479 pounds were sold on the floors of six warehouses and the average price for the entire sales of the six houses was $32.08 making the sales a'total of $55,360.75. (jetting ltead.v tor tl?e Weevil. Dr. Wade Stackliouse left Sunday night for Atlanta where he will .spend a day or two on business. From Atlanta Dr. Stackhouso will make a trip through the lower part of Geor. gia and spend several days studying boll weevil conditions. The boll wee[vi! may or may not reduce the cotton ctop in Dillon county to any great i extent, I?ut anyway Dr. Stackliouse is getting ready for him. He has a po-l tuto curing lionse with a capacity of 10,000 bushels in full opt ration and j is curing this year's crop. He lias purchased the store building of Mr. T. j S. Richbourg at the corner of First, | Avenue and Main street, now occupied by the W. J. Adams Co., in which he will install a complete cold storage plant. On His farms next year! Dr. Stackhouse will reduce his cot ton acreage to six or seven acres to | the plow and greatly increase hi? grain crops. He has fenced in quite a lot of land on which he will raise cattle for his storage plant. He will plant a large acreage in sweet potatoes. o Fork. Miss Lucilo Bt*hea returned home SaturdaS' night from an extended visit to Greensboro. X. C. Mrs. R. C. Simpson of Tatuni spent a few days here last week with Mr. and Mrs.Melton Rogers.

Social Hour?Sandwiches iand coffeo were served. o Pushing Calhoun Highway. \ R. E. Hanna, well-known lawyer of jClieraw, spent a short while in Dillon Saturday afternoon in the interest of the proposed Calhoun Highway. This highway traverses the upper part of the stat'e and is making for Wilmington. The proposed route I through the Pee Dee is through Che jliiw, l>(*lllli*Llnv lilt:, UIIIOII, l(OWIUU(J |ar,d Lumberton. Another route has Ibeen suggested by way of Laurinburg and Maxton and then into Lumberton. If the Laurinburg-Maxton route is selected Dillon and Rowland will not be on the highway. Mr. Hanna had a conference with a fewleading citizens and a tentative organization was formed. If there is j any chance of bringing the highway by Dillon the organization will be enlarged and Dillon will go after it. ! In a few weeks Dillon will have a fine top surface road from the court i house to the Marlboro line, and it I would be necessary to build a good | road to the North Carolina line toward Rowland. The Rowland folks I are ready to cooperate and will build ,a good road down to the South Csr(olina line. If Dillon ran secure the i highway it will put this section in |close touch with Wrightsville Beach. o Tobacco Growers Organize Dillon county tobacco planters held a meeting at the court, house last Friday and formed a tentative organization.
