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.

A GOOD FRIKXn. |,

need. Dillon people tell how Doan's (
Kidney Pills have stood the test. W.
A. Weaver, shoemaker of Main St..1,
Dillon endorsed Doan's four years ago ]
and again confirms the story. Could
you ask for more convincing testi-j
mony?

"I had pains in my back and was;
sore and'lame in the mornin," says ;
Mr. Weaver. My sight became blur- j
red and the secretions from my kid-,
neys acted^ irregularly. I had other,
[symptoms of kidney trouble. Friends
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills and
I got a supply at the McLaurin Drug|
Co., and they soon relieved me of my !
trouble and fixed me up in fine i
shape." i
