Lrillon. S. C.. une 2 '909.
The estimated cost of production
per crate for wax beans is
50 cents. This includes growing,
gathering, packing and crating.
The transportation charges from
to New York are about -5
cent'- |>er crate; a profit of SI.75
per crate is enough to convince
any i>erson that truck farming
as a means to wealth is second
only to a Colorado gold mine.
The tobacco crop is so well ad
vaneed that in all probability sand
lugs will be on the market by June
25th. The condition of the tobacco
crop round Dillon is far
above the a"erage and as the
acreage is double what it was
last year and the prospects tor
high prices arc gc*xl the local
merchants are looking forward to
a- revival in business by July 1st
It will not be very long before
the cotton season opens and if
the Chamber of Commerce is
sincere in its intention to improve
the local cotton market it is time
i?>r us memoers to go to work.
There is no telling: how much
trade Dillon merchants lost last
year on account of cotton being:
fydd at other points that ought to
have been sold on this market.
Tlv t ital receipts last vear were
a little over 10,000 bales, whereas
if the proper effort had been put
forth twice that number of bales
could have been turned this way.
The Herald is not hysterical over
the local cotton situation, but
.when it sees trade slipping away
from the town year after year all
on account of the indifference of
the business men who have the
power to turn that trade back into
the right channels it does not
feel like mincing matters any longer.
We have opportunities here
for making Dillon the largest
cotton market in eastern Carolina
and if we do not take advantaop

no one wil be to blame but ourselves.
So let's be up and doing
or the other fellow will "do" us.
New York's prosecuting, attorney,
Mr. Jerome, would go down
in history as one of the country's
really great men it it were not for
his inordinate love of the sensational.
Since the country has
ceased to speak of the Thaw trial
things have been rather dull round
the district attorney's office and
some weeks ago Mr. Jerome
rushed into the limelight by declaring
that public officials ought
"to give an account of their stewardship"
and announced a date
...u;^v. u '^

Union to answer any questions
the public wished to ask. Referring
to the life insurance investigations
he said there was not
a scintilla of evidence to warrant
the indictment of Jno. A. McCall,
former president of the New York
Life Insurance Co. However sincere
Mr. Jerome may be his admission
does not recall to life Mr.
McCall who died of a broken heart
because of Mr. Jerome'* persecutions.
If Mr. McCall was innocent
of any wrongdoing Mr. Jerome
ought to have saicf so when
the yellow journals were yelping
at his heels like a horde of hyenas.
Vindication at this late hour only
adds pathos to the circumstances
surrounding the unfortunate McCall's
death.
Commencement Exercises.
The closing se-.sion 1908-09,
of the Dillon School was of more
than ordinary interest this year,
The high school feature was on
trial and the offer of a medal of
nay kind was an entirely new
feature.
The commencement sermon in
the auditorium last Sunday mo
ing by Dr. S. C. Bird, of Chio
College was a line presentation
ihe influence of cnvuontnenl
life and character. And \vV
addressed ma\nly to the Sch
it appealed with equal fwrce"
every thinking: mind in the au
ence.
Dr. Bird spoke again that nij
to a crowded house, there bei
no services that day in any of i
other Churches. On Mont
night Prof L. T- Baker, depa
mentof pedagogy S. t\ Univ
sit> , gave an nteresting talk ale
the line of his special work,
the close of Prof Baker's adtlr
Rev. H. A. WiPis of the Bap!
Church gracefully presented

Stonewall Watson, the gold me

The essays were sent by P
Niekels to Prof Edmunds of Su
ter who with his eommittc at'
careful examination awarded i
prize to the unknown?the wri

The pupils who have complei
the course of the ! 1th grade n
who expect to enter College t
fall are: Miss Mary Bethea, Ji
and Reuben Moody and F
Badger. The school as a wh
has done good work this year,
continued growth demands larj
quarters which the trustees hi
to have ready for another year.

He brought with him his orcht

present, and the writer is sure th
another trip to Di Ion would drs
a much larger crowd than t
first trip did. The Sunday Schc
as an evangelizing agency was di
cussed byRev. A E. C. Pittma
His address was good. Rev. \
C. Wallace discussed the Sund;
School as a Developing' Factor

no other Baptist pastor in tl
bounds of the associat ion so w<

Both addresses were of cour
good. Dr. W. B. Spillman wl

Baptist Convention, was prese
and made several interesting tall
His address "Baptists in Sund
School History" was most inte
esting and instructive." "He
and their use in the Sund
sbhool" was discussed by Re^
Mason and Joel I. Allen. The
rn* were other matters taken up whieli
the writer has overlooked as he is
on writing from memory alone but '
lile one thing of great importance
ool was the appointment of Dr Hento
sice to look up the matter of dist^1*
tributing denominational litera-;
ture, b(x>ks, etc. He is well qual-!
ing ified for this work and had already i
the invested his own money in this
ky direction. The association has noj

At purpose would be grately apprc-;
ess, eiated and wouM be used to t he '
list very best advantage. Any pastor;
jr? who may wish any book or tract'
jai, for himself or for distribution will
T. do well to let. him know. As he
I n'fts no compensation for this wik
i he ought not be expected to d.- ^
rof r ...
m.! fray expenses so send h.m someter!
thing if possible, and from my
the j knowledge of h im for years of exter
perienee I am sure he will do yen
^ right. Dr. Derieux wa* present
n(j and made his presence felt. It
his was somewhat amusing at the
tck close of the meeting Rev. Mr.
len Willis, pasttor of the Dillon church
?!c was called on to give an address of
its .
rer welcome, which he did in good
>pe style?in fact much better han he
could have done at the commence*
ment. He was not feeling" the
best at the small number present
SC) from Dillon. The association was
by invited to meet at Benncttsvillc
me next year but for several reasons
in" the eonvittee thought it best to go
to Lattaasithad alsc invited it.
Rev. W. C- Allen of the Latta
as church deserves a great deal of
-n- praise for the work he has don J in
such a success bul the writer
rcthinks
that every pastor and Sunday
School Superintendent in this
association should thoroughly ad- 1
lay vise himself as to the objects and i
eh working of this association so as
its to d<? more effective work for 1
th. the cause, and should put himself <
wd in communication with Rev. Allen
as as soon as possible. 1

a-v nlent from a local merchant on
?n a bill head printed out of town. '
at The editor o; the Herald never '
()? thought of ordering his goods '
from out of town but went '
straight to the merchant's store !
_u" and bought them because he be- 1
is- lieves in patronizing home enter- (
sr. prises. But not so with the J
to merchant; when he needed sta- 1
acj tionery he never thought of pat- (
ronzing the home paper but went
as to extra trouble and expense to
Jr. get the same goods elsewhere.
;s- The Herald is not in object of ;
chairity but a legitimate business
j. institution that is as well equipped
for turning out first-class printing
u" as any office in the state. It does
*11 not want a penny it does not eain
iat legitimately. But as a home
lw institution it certainly is entitled
. to an opportunity to bid on work
before it is sent elsewhere. If it s
cannot compete with other first- S
is- class printing houses it doesn't s

y ingeven the home enterprise ought, ^
to be given the preference. The r
same principle can he applied to \\
in every business enterprise in Dilis
Ion and this article is wiitten for .
|ie the benefit of those who are in 2
the habit of buying other things
out of town besides printing.
a" The home merchant is entitled to
ie the local trade provided he can
id give you the same goods for the
ill same money. This buying away
re from home is more of a habit than
anything else?not a willful one,
1e but a thoughtless, indifferent,
id don't care, selfish sort of business
n- policy that makes otherwise good s

KING CORN.

and Cultivation.
In commenting oti the National Coi
exposition recently hehl at Cbicag
Orange .Judd Farmer says:
There were about 8.000 exhibits <
corn on display. Taking the entii
exhibit into consideration, the com c
the tables was probably the l>est ev?
shown at any exhibition. This is 11101
remarkable, considering the unfavori
ble conditions which prevailed throng
the growing seasou. It would uot I
possiitle to have anything like corn <
the high quality shown were it not ft
the great improvement In breedlu
and cultivation of late. Pure bred vi

Probably u third of the entire exliib
was in this lot.
Illinois Exhibit.
The Illinois exhibit, as would nati

In white and yellow classes. Undoub
edly. however, the yellow varieties pr<
dominated, the majority of them beiu
of the Reid type. This is a remarki

Just about as numerous, and many <
them were of very excellent characte
but as show corn they did not eon
pare quite as well as yellow corn.
Calico and Red Varieties
Outside of the white and yellow vi
rieties shown by Iowa exhibitors tliei
was an exceedingly fine showing i
calico and red corn. In the cattle feet
ing states these varieties seem to b
exceedingly popular.
