9Ulon liirralii V. *. JORDAN Editor Dillon. S. C., July 24, 1<m> AN UNFAIR PKACTIt'K. All fair-mraded persons look with tfvx'-obntioii upon the criticism of " he* Chicago packers by the Federal Trade Commission in connection with the use of private refrigerator cars few .the transportation of unperishable Foodstuffs. me pacKers, mruugu uwuriMiip ui ^hese cars, which are attached to >5aet freight lines going at nearly passenger schedules ar? enabled to deliver goods much quicker than their ^competitors, who are compelled to use ordinary freight cars on ordinary ilov freight trains, 17 there were two business houses ,?n Dillon, one able to use express at freight rates and the other comiielled to use ordinary freight service, there isn't a man in Dillon but who would admit that the latter firm was being unfairly dealt with. The railroads are supposed to give the same service to all comers, and at a uniform price. But through ownership of these refrigerator cars the packers have an advantage over competitors that is creating an intolerable snonoply. There is no room for argument on Mus proposition. The packers are In ' ch* -wrong, and they must be com peTlea to use their refrigerator cars for perishable meats only, as was the intention when the use of such cars was begun. ' There are two articles in this issue vfc want the people to read. One is from M*aj. O. M. Page; thf other is in the form of a brief descriptive arricJe by the editor of The Herald under the caption "Georgia Crops Good." The former article came in shortly after the latter had been put type. Both articles call attention 'to the necessity for a better system of drainage. The editor of The Herald srfls what he saw with his own eyes. Major Page tells what he knows from experience. One good feature of the drainage project in Monroe County, VJa?, which was overlooked -at the time 'the article in question was written, is rhnT fbe draining of the low-lands around Monroe has almost entirely, eliminated the mosquito. This is not hearsay. The editor of The Herald visited these lands in company with , "Or. Fiekle, who bas been practicing j snedTicine in that section for 2o years, j rand Dr. Fiekle made the statement -vohnftarily that of his own personal \cwowledge there had been a great 'Jecrease in the number of cases of malaria since the drainage project -was started. Our people must wake vxp. We have wonderful natural resources .and some of the best farmers rn the south, but we are not making iCht most of our opportuities. Nature "has been too kind to us and we have aa? .returned that kindness by helping nature In her efforts to help us. Our lands are fertile but we haven't a monopoly on fine farming lands. There are other sections of the south -wftere the lands produce as abundantly or more abundantly. Even with -a?r finp natural resources there are other sections less favored by nature sJxal produce more abundantly be-canso yore progressive methods are aaed to make up for the deficiencies csUT nature. There is n0 better time ita* the present to reflect over these .Trailers. Tbt excessive rains of the pas' few days furnish mute but elo-?vent evidence of the fact that we nu?i have a better system of drainage for town and country. ~r*K. DUNCAN'S STATEMENT. \ * Dr. Duncan hands us for publicathic wprOr Mip fnllnwinrr state . neoj^which he read from the pulpit al the First .Methodist church SunJay lifwning: "It has become my obvious duty '..o make a candid statement in regard the horse races in Dillon and the 7*.n-sequent gambling thereon. This viaiy is the more delicate and difficult because several of my personal are connected with the enterI am persuaded that our friendship is such that it will not be mar ced because of this candid state however, widely we may differ ,ja to its contents. My conscience compel me to make this state-.Tttezii were my own father at the Head of the institution about which f speak. Knowing as I do the gentlemen connected with this enterprise, I am jure that it is not their intention to faster an institution that would be desriiiv.ntal to the morals of the community; but it is very evident that tlcH gentlemen are unintentionally and unwittingly drawn into a movement that is fraught with tremendous, oeril to the niorgl life of the entire At the inception of this movement it was my understanding and I think rbv r-eople of the community generally wore under the.same impression, that vtbe plans were for a County Fair; *ot the frequency with which the races are being run during the year, vireo before the plans for a Fair have been perfected, has created the im{yreanioH that we are to have a race ?rack with a nominal County Fair atiaxlied. It remains to be seen whethei I or not this impression is erroneous., Furthermore, it is common rumor , that a vast deal of betting is carried , on in connection with the races. j i I come this morning to enter my, solemn and emphatic protest. In the, first place, I protest because race, track betting is contrary to the laws I of South Carolina. 1 read from the"' Statutes of South Carolina: "An act to prevent betting. po'oBj selling, book-making bets or wageitv and to provide punishment for such I offenses, and to declare same or uny of them a common nuisance. i t tj~ : k,. .?,?i octtiun i. uc ii niavicu u? uic | General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That aify person within this state, who engages in betting at any race track, pool selling, or book making with or without writing, at any time or place; or any person who keeps or occupies any room, shed j tenement, booth or building, float or ' vessel or any part thereof, or who' occupies any place or stand of any kind, upon any public or private ground, within this state, with books, papers, apparatus, or paraphornalia for the purpose of recording or reg-1 istering bets or wagers, or sells pools or makes books, with or without wriiting upon the result of any trial ori contest of skill, speed, or power of ,endurance, of man or beast; or upon the result of any political nomination j appointment, or election; or upon the result of any lot, chance, casualty, I ' unknown or contigent event whatso-1 ever; or any person who receives,, registers, records or#forwards or pur-1 ports or pretends to receive, register, record or forward, in any manner .whatsoever any money, thing or consideration of value, bet or wagered by or for any other person, or sells | pools, upon any such result; or any| person who, being the owner, les-1 see or occupant of any room, shed, tenement, tent, booth or building float or vessel, or part thereof, or of any grounds within this state, knowingly permits same to be used or occupied for any of these purposes. nr tVir>rr*in Upptu! pvhihits nr pmnlnvsl Vi v"v'v'" "VVI ^ ? * * ~ 1 ,any device or apparatus for the pur-| pose of recording or registering such I bets or wagers, or the selling of i' snch pools, or becomes the custodian' or depository for gain, hire or re-1 1 [ A GOOD FRIKXn. |, i A good fricrC atanus by you when' need.
