EXCESSIVE PRICE OF PAPER.
/
The Herald has been bothered for
some time by the excessive price of
paper. This is no idle wail, but a fact.
It is announced by the paper makers
that the consumption of paper in the
United States is 20 per cent beyond
the production thereof, and that the
situation is a serious one for the
newspaper industry unless consumption
is curtailed.
It appears t0 ye a mighty hard
thing in some quarters to curtail consumption.
The trouble does not lie in
the smaller cities or the small towns,
but iu the large centers of population,
where papers put out enormous Sunday
editions, three-quarters filled
with bunk, merely because it has become
a habit to do so in American
metropolitan journalism. One issue of
& Chicago paper, for instance, con.
sumes 750 tons of paper for one Sunday
issue. Manifestly this is an absurdity.
Such a waste o* paper should
not be permitted by the government.
When there is a scarcity of an article
its waste should be curtailed,
and the right way to do it is to begin
with the big useless Sunday, issues.
Mere ability to buy paper should
. not be the criterion for getting it.
If there were a shortage of bread
' in the country we would not idiuk
of letting the man with money buy
more than his share; why should the
government permit wasteful metropolitan
journalism to eat into the
available supply of white print paper
and thus cause an unreasonable
hoist in the price of paper to others?
The newspapers, particularly the
smaller newspapers that depend on
a limited circulation, have been hit
pretty hard. The .price of ordinary
news paper has advanced from $2
per hundred to $8.50 per hundred,
while there has been a very small
advance in suoscription and advertising
rates. The price of inks, type and
all other materials that enter into
the making of a newspaper has advanced
from 100 to 500 per cent,
while there has been an advance of
something like 100 per cent,
in the price ot labor. The great majority
of newspapers were just about
breaking even before the war, and it
is evident t.hat many of them have
been losing neavny lor ine pasi imw
"years. Advertising is on the increase.
Many of the larger corporations are
spending millions in advertising
where they spent only thousands before
the war. This helps reduce the
excessive war profits tax and at the
same time gives these establishments
the benefit of a great deal of publicity
which will return handsome dividends
in the future. For this reason the
consumption of newspaper is bound
to continue to increase, and the only
bope for the smaller newspapers is
to increase advertising and subscription
rates.

INCOME TAX RETURNS
TO BE POSTED.
All Dillonites Who Made Income
Tax Returns Can See their Names
on Bulletin Board.
The names of all persons making
income tax returns 'Are to be posted
by federal government in the postoffices
of the land. Dillonites who have
incomes over certain figures will within
the next few days find their names
on the bulletin board of the post office,
if they have been honest enough
t0 make returns to the income tax
collector in 1919.
The office of D. C. Heyward, collector
of internal revenue has sem
to Postmaster Hargrove the names 01
Dillon county persons who made income
tax returns in 1918. Each postmaster
is instructed under government
orders, to post in a conspicious
place the names of all the persons receiving
uijul at his office who havi
made their income tax returns.
The government's purpose in post
ing these names is to allow the ligh
of publicity to fall on those whose
names should be on the but win
will be conspiciou6 by their absence.
There are approximately 19,000
persoois in South Carolina wh0 make
Income tax returns. All single persons
with incomes of $1,800 or more
and married persons with incomes of
-$2,000 or more, are required to make
returns to the collector. Returns
are to be made in January.

FOR PLEASURE CRAFT
Palm Beach, Fla., Dec. 7?A large
fleet of pleasure yachts and privately
owned cruisers started north today,
i mostly by the inland water route, in
response to "SOS" telegrams from
their owners.
The cause of all the hurry was
learned to be the inability of many
wealthy persons to" secure private
Pullman cars or reservations or any
kind of desirable railroad accommodations,
to bring them from New
York, Philadelphia and other cities tc
their winter homes here. The coa
strike is responsible. In sheer desper
ation they wired for their yachts
which had previously been sent her
to await their coming.
o
A number of farmers in Charles
ton County will plant some flax as
an experimental crop next year.

PLAN BIG COTTON CAMPAIGN.'j
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 8?Col. R. M.
. Mixon, of Williston, who was yes-!
tor day elected president of the South
Caiol.na Cotton Associate*:, announ-j
cod today tiat a vigorous campaign,
to enlarge tl - membership v.f the
associate?u v?>uld be launched at
oi.-e
In a statement addressed to the
, bankers, merchants, business men, 1
farmers and women of South Carolina
. j Col. Mixson said:
i "The South t irolina branch of the
. American Cotton Association Tuesday
perfected a permanent organization.1
' J "Whether wisely or uot (timealone i
!jcau tell) 1 have been elected president t
'of the Association. Words are inade- r
quale to express my sincere apprecia- (
tion of this expression of the confi'dence
of my people?and I am an-,
xious to demonstrate my appreciation d
by the successful organization of our j
association in South Carolina. This, (
I cannot do by myself. I am dependent
upon the assistance of every man!
and woman in South Carolina who J
have the prosperity of the state and a
jthe improvement of rural conditions L
at heart to help me. ' J j.
! "For fifty years the farmers of j,
the South have been growing andlc
selling cotton below the cost of pro-|a
duction. Had cotton sold for a proper
price during the past fifty years,
billions of dollars more would have r
been invested in the South. This | j
yvould have given us good roads, good f
schools, good churches, a higher class1 v
of better paid teachers, better homes. [ r
The curse of illiteracy would nota
have been fixed upon us and the necessity
of having our women and
children labor in the fields would t
never have occurred. c
i "But cotton did not bring a proper n
price. Instead we have been selling o
* - - -J loot, fhan the fflSt <
our CUllUIl til a ynic ivoo tuuu .
of production, which has kept our far. a
mers in commercial bondage and pre- t
vented our beloved southland from In
enjoying that prosperity to which she s
was justly entitled. To correct these j,
evils and to bring our country back!
into her own, I earnestly appeal to
every loyal man and woman in South ti
Carolina to join nie and help me per- a
feet the organization of the South j
Carolina Branch of the American Cot- o
ton Association, carrying the organ- o
lzalion ' into every township in the n
state and keeping up the fight'until s
every banker, merchant, business 1
man and farmer in the state becomes 11
a member of our organization.
"We are all interested. Upon the; .
prosperity of the farmer depends the 0
prosperity of every Banker, merchant,iu
bsuiness man, doctor,, preacher, 1
teacher, lawyer and mechanic in the
state. You can't crush the farmer e
without injury to all. When the far-jv
mer prospers all prosper. The fight, ^
is joined. We are determined that i
the farmer shall have a fair price for J?
his cotton?not this year alone but
for all thne to come. He has worked 0
in commercial slavery long enough.
The shackles shall be stricken from
his hands and justice shall be done|.
him. To accomplish this it will take 0
the earnest co-operation and active
assistance of both the men and worn- t(
en of our state. ^
"Yes, the women can help. Your n
sisters, thousands of them, and their
little children are compelled to labor L
in the fields through sunshine and|f
showers, through cold and heat?day j e
'in and day out, year after year, help-i6
I ing to make ends meet. I call upon i,
jthe women to assist in this organization
so that the women can be kept
at home to look after their domestic i<
duties and the children sent to school e
where they can receive suficient edu- v
cation to equip them for citizenship, p
The women are helping in other o
states, won't our women in South n
Carolina help? , ip
"I appeal to the county and town-ip
ship committees to throw themselves e
into the work and not let up until you j
succeed in enrolling every farmer,'o
business man, merchant, bankers, jf
lawyers, teacher and preacher in the t
state as member of our association.: h
I This will take but a few days if you j f
will go to work with a will. Won't jo
you do it? jt
"Cotton is bringing a good price P
now. The American Cotton Associa-I
tion has saved the South hundreds of ^
millions of dollars on this crop. But
if you are satisfied and relax your efforts
and let the organization fall 11
down and a fair crop of cotton is 1
grown ne&t year, you will see the 11
1920 crop sell below twenty cents 1
"Through the influence of the highj1
prices obtained for this crop, specula- . ^
tors and spinners are expecting you to j t
plant 50,000,000 acres in cotton next ]
year. Farmers, don't make this mis- 0
take. Your salvation depends on your j*'
raising plenty of food and feed, and]1
a small crop of cotton. Do this andj"
become members of the American ,,J
Cotton Association so that you mayj5
be in position to protect your cotton i?
and demand and receive a profitable J11
price for it next year and every year P
thereafter. Let's stand shoulder to v
shoulder t0 this fight. Feeling the elbow
touch will give us enthusiasm 8
and inspiration and help us to ljrii\g d
iour beloved Southland back into" her ?
own.t Won't you help?*' 0

Marine Trailed Charlemange to Camp ai
Swamp?Bandit Band is Jcc
Captured.
Facing death at the hands of the
banditti led by Charlemange. the
desperado who has terrorized Hayti y(
for twenty years, and in the swamps '
that surrounded the recess where
Charlemange had built his headquar- .
ters, two daring officers of the United ,1'
States Marine Corps rivaled the cap* .
ture of Aguinaldo in the killing of f
the Hayti-an bandit and the arrest of J1
his followers four weeks ago says the
New York Herald: "
The story of Charlemangue's death a
was brought to New York yesterday ai
by Miss Marie Adele Lincoln of Au- hl
gusta, Me., formerly a navy nurse,
later in the Marine Corps, and engaged
by the Public Health Service for
duty in Port au Prince, who arrived *
on board the Dutch steamship Prince
Frederick Henrik.
for two decades Charlemangue had di
raided and killed and stolen as hejbl
willed in Hayti. After the arrival of I H
the marines, who were landed then, ai
last spring to restore order, he be- F
came particularly aetive. The marines m
organized a native constabulary, offi- F
cered by American men, in an en- m
deavor to effect his capture, but st
Charlemangue, who knew every foot cl
of the island eluded them success- in
fully. Captain' Hannagan and Lieut- tt
enant Button were two of these o/fi- ai
cere. tt
Stole Away from Headquarters.
Captain Hannagan and Lieutenant
Button," Miss Lincoln satd, "disap- hi
peared from their headquarters with- iE
out taking any one except their su-|gi
periors into their confidence. Natives 'ej
and Americans believed them dead,|?
probably victims of Charlemangue's g'
torture. Charlemangue had captured
a marine sergeant guarding an airplane
while the aviator went for assistance
in the timber lands, and tortured
and killed him and stole the
machine's gun a short time before.
This created grave apprehension on
the part of the Americans as to th.
fate of Hannagan and Button. ^ ?
"But Hannagan and Button had'
dis guised themselves as natives and
joined one of the lesser bands of h<
bandits. Their daring won the confi
dence of these robbers and they jjj
sought acquaintance with Charleniangue,
but the wary chieftain never en
permitted them near his quarters., th
Hannagan and Button learned that 111
Charlemangue was to hold an impor- ?
tant conference at Plaisance in the
wilderness below Cape Haytian.
Shoots Bandit Leader Dead. ^
"They stole out through the swamps
crossed two rivers, eluded the six
outposts Charlemangue had established
and finally crept to a cabin beFore
which a bonfir1 flamed brilliantly.
They had travelled twelve miles
through almost impassable wilderness.
They saw a figure emerge from
the cabin, a huge man, who stopped
at the fire. Captain Hannagan levelled
his automatic and fired twice.
Both bullets were effective and the
captain and lieutenant fled through
the under' ''sb
"Soon a Captain Hannagan and
Lieutenar utton led a squad of th ai
constabulary into the interior and in
a quick attack captured many of the _
bandit's gang and took Charleman- J
gue's body to headquarters.
