Dillon, 8. C., June 20, 1918
The article in the last issue of The
Herald in which it was suggested
that the government take some action
toward reducing the cotton
acreage in 1918 by limiting the farmer
to an acre of cotton for every
acre of grain planted seems to have
touched a responsive chord. Every
farmer with whom the editor of The
Herald has discussed this proposition
seems to be heartily in favor of;
k. many oiner men, including bankers.
merchants and inanutacturers,
who look well into the future, take
the riew that it is the only practicable
plan to be adopted to save the
1S18 cotton crop, provided the government
estimate of 15,000,000
bales tutus out to be correct. Another
good feature of the plan, sug- .
gested by the News and Courier, is ,
that it will have a tendency to ease {
the labor situation which has become j (
very acute. This in itself is enough to ; ^
commend tne plan to the thoughtful :
consideration of all men whose inter-I
eats are effected b> the production |,
of cotton. There is no peace in sight t.
and the longer the war continues the!
heavier will be the drain upon the.
labor on the farms. So pressing is
the need for men ut the front that |
Qen. Crowder has revoked his recent j
order to pass over men on the farms,!1
and hereafter the farms will not be!
spared when men are called to the
camps. Six hundred of Dillon Coun-1 t
ty's young men are already in the1 h
service and the indicuiions are thatby
next year this time this number
will be doubled. Labor at the pres-'
ent time is scarce and by next year i
it will be still scarcer. The farmer j 1
must begin to look well into the fu-| '
lure. No longer can he let each! '
day take care of itself. The next year .
and probably the years to follow will | t
bring him face to face with many se- j \
rious problems, and the best way to j 1
meet those problems is to prepare for <
them in advance. Dr. Stackhouse is'. '
publishing a notice in another column
of this paper urging the farmers of
the county to meet at the court1,,
house next Saturday at 11 o'clock 'L
for the purpose of electing delegates ||
to the state convention of farmers toll
be held at Columbia next Monday, j
June 24th. It is the duty of every?
farmer in the county to attend this?
-meeting. This is a time when anl
exchange of views on the problemsV
confronting the farmer will prove off
great benefit not only to each >nd^' (
.vidual farmer but the communiy^|ftf)
1a whole. Dr. St'.ickhouse is .'comple

j bMn before the people oi two former
occasions end his position is well- I
known. This is the first time Mr.' |
Bethes has entered the lists for governor,
but he has made two cam- j
palgns for the office of lieutenant- I
governor and his position on public I
i matters Is quite as well-known as
Mr. Cooper's. Mr. McLaurin is one
of the oldest figures In the public '
, life of the state, and probably the
; best informed man in the state, but
^his alignment with first one faction
, and then the other has left an elejment
of doubt in the public mind as
: to Just where he stands on the issues
| of the day. Mr. McLaurin, however,
I is able to take care of himself on
I the stump, and even if his record is
somewhat vulnerable, he is pretty,
apt to make it interesting for the
man who digs up the issues of 15 or
20 years ago. Mr. Richards and Mr., 1
Peeples have been affiliated with C
what has been known in the past as 1 0
the "Blease faction." This faction! 1
received a severe blow two years ago | ?
when Mr. Blease was defeated for! f
governor. There have been feeble ut-\ tj
tempts to revive the party, but so t
far as can be learned the organise-' a
tion is lacking in the solidity it has i *
shown in previous campaign years, I
Mr. DesChamps is not wedded to any' *
particular organisation or faction.1
He, like Mr. Duncan, is conducting:
what may be termed an independent'
campaign. Not in many years have i ^
the voters of the state had an oppor- j
tunity to choose from such a number
of candidates with such a variety of
{opinions. This far ahead it is not
! possible to forecast the result with ''
jany degree of accuracy. - That there "
will be a second race is a fact which ?
o
must be conceded, and the contest is ^
not likely to prove, very interesting j,
until after the first primary. Mr. u
Bethea and' Mr. Cooper are the only It
two openly avowed out-and-out an- *
tl-reform candidates. That one or the
other will be in the second race is j *
a fact that cannot be questioned. In! ^
the light of past events, however, it j p
is evident that Mr. Bethea would be' j,
j the stronger of the two in a second! y
race with either of the other five, j s
Mr. Cooper is a mighty good man and
would make an excellent governor,! *
but the Blease faction believes that'
if he had not entered the race fori r<
governor two years ago Mr. Blease i v
would have been elected in the first,
primary, and they still hold thisi j,
grudge against him. So far as can be! C1
learned the Blease vote will be divid- tr
ed between Mr. Richards and Mr. e1
Peeples, and one or the other may w
be in the second race with Mr. Be- **
thea or Mr. Cooper, but it is claimed "
that neither is strong enough with ^
the party to get the solid vote, and in ^
:hat event some of the Blease vote M
A-ould go to Mr. Bethea or Mr. Coop-i yt
-r. However, the primary is too far I tl>
>ff to make any predictions as many pi
hings can happen between now and! ^
he last Tuesday in August to change | PJ

WHEAT GROWERS TO

i
Farmer* In This State Will S? Par- (
mitted to Grind Wheat to a
Liberal Extent.
Columbia.?William Elliott, food administrator
for Soutli- Carolina, recently
attended a meeting of the food ,
idministrators of the several states
n Washington, at which time the
luestkm of grinding wheat in South
Carolina was carefully considered and
ipvu mi) aumorujr or Herbert Hoover,
ederal food administrator, the statenent
has been made that the most
Iberal treatment, with respect to
rinding, will be accorded the growers
>f wheat in this state. The exact
erms of the instructions to millers
tare not yet been determined upon,
>ut will be announced in the near
ueure. In the meantime, however,
be growers of wheat can rest assured .
hat the present rules concerning the ]
ruornt that a farmer can have ground
rill be greatly altered, and that a
armer will be permitted to have his
rheat grounJ to a liberal extent.

pointed out as wasters; and it

If this was true several months ago,
owever, it is no longer a fair comlaint.
The men of the country, both

Since the increasing need of saving 'N

Bstaurants all over the country have
oluntarily pledged themselves to do ithout
wheat until the next harvest.
And now an effort is to be made to
icrease the coming wheat harvest by
leaner threshing. It has been esti- .
