DLLLiON, S. C., JUNE :2i>. 1?11.
While the millions were being
fit! tho n^rnnntlnn foe
tivities last week there were lots
of Uondon people too weak from
hunger to shout "long live his
majesty."
The marriage license law goes
into effect Saturday, but youthful
couples should remember that it
costs a whole lot more than $1 to
get married.
It is a wise decision of the government
not to investigate the
cause of the explosion which sent
the Maine to the bottom of Havana
harbor. Whether accidental or designed
by enemies of Spain, the
cause of the explosion will never be
known, but certain it is that it precipitated
a war which gave freedom
to a country that had been fighting
more than 30 years to throw of
the yoke of oppresion. An investigation
at this late hour would do
othing more than revive distastei
tul controversy and re-open wounds
which have, in a measure, been
healed by time.
Oue of the first things the general
assembly should do when it
meets next January is to pass an
act repealing the act which creat
ed the dispensary winding up commission.
It does not matter if the
work of the winding up commission
is not completed. The act should provide
that the commission be abolished
and that what money there is
in the commission's hands be distributed
among the public schools.
The people are sick and tired of
the dispensary business. For the
past several years every time a
page of dispensary history has been
turned rottenness has been exposed.
Sensation has followed close upon
the heels of sensation; the names
*?i i>r\JuuutMii Liuzeiis nave ueen
drawn into the mire: South Carolina
has been ridiculed, villified, and
associated in the public mind with
the most debauched states in the
union, and all on account of the
rottenness of an abominable institution
that was forced upon the
people when they could not help
tnemselves. The investigations
have served no good purpose. They
have merely kept South Carolina in
the limelight, bared the rascality of
public officials, exposed the corruption
of a State institution, and
still nobody wears stripes. What's
the good of continuing the L.rce?
As long as the "investigations"
continue nothing but the good name
of the State suffers. Let's toss
the whole putrid thing overboard,
erase the record from the log
book, and forget that South Car
triflna ever kept company with the
grafting states.
It is a pity that Dillon merchants,
who take the lead in nearly everything
else, should be so far behind
the times In the mattter of early
closing. In this respect Dillon
clings to a custom that prevailed a
quarter of a century ago. We do
not know of another town in the
State where the stores are kept
open as long as they are in Dillon.
V/e have some establishments in
t Dillon that open their doors at
sunrise, summer and winter, and refuse
to close them until the lights
in all the other stores have been
extinguished and they are certain
"the man across the way" is making
his way homeward. A large
business cannot be built up by such
I methods. It shows a lack of Individuality
on the part of the rner!
chant ? a lack of enterprise in tin
I
handling of his wares. It shows
that he devotes more time watching j
his competitor than he does to
pushing his business, and if such
a man would keep his store open
from Monday morning until Saturday
night the volume of weekly
business would not increase. But
the most serious objection to the
long summer hours is the drain upcu
the strength and vitality of the
clerks. An overworked man or woman
cannot be expected to pro'
duce the beet results in any line of
endeavor and the merchant who
'.persists in working his employees
|! from 12 to 14 hours a day, winter
and summer, is bound to suffer
! financial loss through luck of effi
J ciency on the part of the employee
: when the busy season arrives. While
the stores in uicst of the other
! | towns have been closing promptly
, at six o'clock, the clerks in Dillon
| have remained at their posts until
seven and eight without a murmur
j of complaint, and in behalf of these
faithful employees The Herald rejspectfully
asks the merchants of
Dillon to get together and decide
, upon an earlier closing hour.
The editor of The Herald, in
j company with Messrs. L. C. Brad|
dy, W. T. Bfethea and Capers Braddy,
took an automobile trip through
j the Judsou, Gallavon and Little
j Rock sections last Wednesday afl
ternoon to look at the crops. If the
| crops in these sections suffered any
! from the drouth they do not show
. it to any great extent. The sand
I storm which preceded the recent
rains did the crops considerable
I damage, and in some few instances
I we saw re-planted cotton that had
| not been chopped, but with these
I exceptions the crops in these sec
; nuns are aotng tine. Among those
j who have fine crop prospects are
I J. S. Thompson, J. W. Hamer, E. R.
| Hamer, M. S. Britt, L. C. Braddy
and Brooks Hamer. Among those)
I who suffered greatly from the
sand storm is Mr. Jenks McQueen.
I More than half of Mr. McQueen's)
I entire crop was killed and had to
i be replanted. Broken stands and
white spots in many fields showed
that few, if any, farmers escaped
I damage from the storm, but Mr. Mc!
Queen seems to have suffered more
I than any of his neighbors. On the
. return journey good crops were
I seen at J. H. Bennett's Rod Jackson's,
Henry Beiluett's, Mclver Rog
j ers", J. C. Cottingham's, Miss Lot
| tie Stackhouse's T. C. Sherwood's,
, I L. A. Manning's, A. J. C. Cottingham's
Truss Thompson's, D. \Y. Bethea's.
Arch Bethea's, Vick and
' Will Bethea's. Notwithstanding the
i drouth and the violent storm cotton
- is looking well and with good seaI
sons from now on there should be
no cause for alarm. Of course, this
I applies only to the upper end of
i the county, but we are told that
. crops in the lower end are in excellent
condition. The Heiald man
j hopes to make a trip through this
section before long and upon his reI
turn will tell Herald readers how the
crops in the lower and upper ends
of the county compare with each
, other.
.South Carolina Manufacturers.
Manilf;iPtiiririor io - ? ? ?
?. b 10 11 vi t all Ullknown
art in the South, although
that seems to he the notion entertained
in some sections of the
country. The Census Bureau has!
just issued bulletins showing that
millions of dollars are invested in
manufacturing plants in Charleston,
Greenville, Columbia and Spartanburg.
Columbia leads in capital invested
? $7,705,000, an Increase of
62 per cent in 5 years. The cost of
materials used in 1909 was $3,578,000,
wages and salaries amounted
to $1,185,000 miscellaneous expenses
were $462,000, and the value of
products was $5,872,000. The average
number of officials was 233,
and of employees, 2.522.
Spartanburg had 36 manufactur]
ing establishments in 1909, a gain j
of but one in five years, but the
capital increased from $2,869,000
! to $4,471,000 and the output from
$2,128,000 to $3,276,000. With an
I increase of only 49 per cent. in
wages, the value added by the pro-:
cess of manufacture increased 104
per cent over that of 10 years ago.
In Charleston, 116 establishments
with a capital of $6,573,000 used
materials worth $4,229,000, paid
salaries and wages amounting to
$l,408,00u, and turned out products
worth $6,951,000. There was
little expansion in five years, the
increase in capital being 13 per;
cent, and in value of output 16 per
cent. The average number of officials
and waee parnpra ??. i&no
waa 3,299.
Greenville has made considerable
gains in manufacturing since 1904.
It had in 1909, 41 establishments
employing an average of 1,295
persons, who received $464,000.
The capitalization v as $1,930,000,
a decrease of 6 per cent, but the
output was $2,142,000, a gain of
28 per cent., while the value added
by the process of manufacture was
$914,000, or 59 per cent, more than
1904.
Agriculture as a Science.
Hail to the tiller of the soil. He
has won the respect of the world.
Perhaps you have noticed that it
isn't so common to decry his occupation
as It used to be before lJn-|
cle Sam discovered it to be a science.
Now young men are flock-'
ing to the agricultural schools and'
colleges and many of them are grad-j
anting into professorships, or into
positions as experts with the gov-'
I ernment. One of the latter has
Just returned to Washington after \
spending two months in Spain and
1 Sicily investigating lemon growing.
1 He is G. Harold Powell, whose
work for the Department of Agriculture
In the investigation of caus-.
es of fruit decay. In cold storage
and in transit, attracted such wide
attention. The citrus fruit grow- .
ers of California held his talents in j
such esteem that they tried to get
him to go out there. When they
got up to offer of |10,000 a year
salary he succumbed, and he is now 1
secretary and manager of the Citrus
Protective L<eague of California,
a model business organization of
agriculturalists, which has been
fighting for a tariff on lemons that
will permit the industry to survive. I
i Having secured that tariff the or- j
ganizatiou is now combating the
j organized campaign of the Sicilan
importers to have it reduced.
President Will Assist.
???
An event of International signi-.
cance will occur July 19, when
President Taft will assist in breaking
ground for an exposition to
be held in celebration of the com-,
pletion and opening of the PanaI
ina Canal. President Taft will press I
a button which will close an electric
circuit in San Diego, Cal., and
! "break out" a great flag?the
President's own flag ? especially
constructed of unusually large sizeji
for the particular event ? right
over the spot where the ceremonies
are to take place. The ceremonies
will hist four days and will be of
very cheerfully promised director- 1
general D. C. Collier that he would
do this, for, he said, he took an <
unusual interest in the San Diego
Exposition because it will exploit,
the achievements of Uncle Sam
in reclaiming, irrigation, forettation
and conservation, and it also
iaims to bring together the LatinAmerican
republics and unite them
in an illustration of what has been j
done in the development of the
I New World. While not outlined
on such a large scale as the Panama-Pacific
Exposition to be held
coincidently in San Francisco, the
San Diego Exposition, with $2,500,000
already available.has a def->
j inite plan, an idea, and promises to
be an artistic, financial and industrial
triumph.
a|t
Communion services will be held
in the Presbyterian church on the
coming Sabbath. Preparatory services
will begin to-night at 8:30.'
The church is now connected with1'
the new electric plant. All the i I
members are urged to be present i
Thursday and Friday nights. A:
visiting minister has begn invited. I
It is not known yet whether the
pastor will be assisted. All are i
cordially invitted.
