?far Sillfltt ^rralfa 1 I A- B. J OR LAX - . . Editor Dillon, S. C'., February 12, I DUO Sometimes we are set to wondering to what actually is the purchasing power of a cent. | If a bolshevist inherits $11)0,000. will he divide it up or throw it in the river? I ?* I The papers are bound to get the people interested in the candidates, whether they are willing or not. j Kind words in life are worth more than a flower obituary after the Grim Reaper has reaped. Ventilation is all right in theory, but "rastling" with a draft is about as disagreeably a way to get sick as doing without sufficient fresh air. School children think they are smarter than the old folks, but mighty ( few can beat the old hands at playing, checkers. If talking to the people on Mars orj Venus is to be as unsatisfactory as| some long distanoe calls we have known there will never be much communication. Get ready for the spring styles. Every woman is supposed to furnish herself with a new set of glad raiment, while the dutiful male provider is supposed to furnish the 50-cent dollars. An editor remarks that it is a wise leader nowadays who knows where he is leading and which way. Perhaps so, but a candidate can always make a noise like a leader. There are some men in Dillon who never feel so happy as when they can say something to make others laugh. This ia a legitimate method of .endeavor, 'too, as the laugh-maker spreads the kind of sunshine that is welcome on the rainy day of trouble. Great Britain still wants to borrow from Uncle Sam, but declines to specify whv an much monev is being wasted on her battle ships end array. We thought the late war was to reduce armaments. The latest British battleship?the Hood?cost $30,000,000, which is quite a neat sum for one ship in the face of war debts and financial storms. ' i The village general store used to be & debating society, but don't think there are no longer any places left where unswayed opinion holds forth. There are places in Dillon where more discussion on the issues of the day take place than in congress? and they usually settle them just as ef ficiently. Congress doesn't settle much and neither do the debating societies. A MILITARY PRESIDENT ITNLIKELY. The question of military training is uppermost in the lnihds of a great many western women wh0 are allowlowed to vote for president, and because of this they are shying from a military man as a candidate. Times apparently have changed. When no women voted it was common for the major political parties to "put up a soldier'' in the belief he would be found a monument of strength in the male mind. But with so many states permitting women to vote, this custom is likely to fall info the discard.. It remains to be seen what will happen to Gen. Wood at the Republican convention. The general has been considered a strong candidate?until i* fiia/?nvorpri that the western! At W?0 Utovv . v> women are as a class fearful that a soldier president would have a tendency to think with the military mind; that he would go in for military training of the youth of the land and would not be inclined to elude a little scrap now and then. The same weakness has developed in regard t0 Gen. Pershing. Both major parties have been "thinking" of putting him forward as a candidate, provided it could be ascertained what his politics were. It is not yet certain as to the general's politics, but it is now certain that politicians are afraid of the women's vote anl are not Inclined to get wild over the prospect of a soldier candidate. Both Wood and Pershing, therefore, are not progressing like a house afire. The talk seems altogether to center around other timber in both parties. WONDERS OF FORTY CENT COTTON. The following article was written by a former South Carolinian who now holds a responsible position on a New York newspaper: I have just returned from a trip into the South, home of 40 cent cotton, and the wonders I saw there lie heavy upon me; so heavy, indeed that like Maroo Fol0 and other travelers into strange lands, I am moved to give testimony thereof. Not that uiy journey \va: i.ilo new country. I was born and re-ted down there, like thousands of others now dwelling in the larger cities, hut the complacency of metropolitan, .tie had warped my opinion of the "provinces until I was not prepared for the tremendous strides which a rich agricultural section can make' under the impetus of good crops and fair prices. Whereas the rising cost of living is the chief outward and visible sign in the cities of the new( era caused by the war, everything touching onesj daily life in the Southeast has been i molded into fresh shape. The effect I necessarily is startling. My eyes were opened when I went up to the "square" the first Saturday of my visit t0 my South Carolina home town, and was nearly run down by 14 different negro families in 14 automobiles. The combination was new t0 me. And those machines were not all "flivvers" by any means. "What the devil*' thought I remembering the mules and wagons of my childhood, a couple of splint bottom chairs in each for the women members of the family, perhaps a gayly hued auilt over their laps in cold weather. These shinny automobiles and plush robes were as novel as jinrikshas would have been. I went over to talk to a merchandising friend about it. "They've got all the money in the world," he said when he paused in his toil of selling a silk shirt, $12 shoes, and other fine raiment to people who were wearing overalls and brogans when I had departed thence some years ago. I don't think he was talking in hyperbole. "Yes, sir, trade is better than ever before," he continued. "We are selling finer goods and the end is not yet. That suit of clothes, retailing for $60." he pointed to a window display, "is the same quality as the line we have bought for spring to retail at $80.'' "And you expect to sell that) stuff?" I exclaimed. The same store had sold me quite a decent suit when I was in college for $13.50. "All we can get," he replied. "Go ask the banks." I took his advice. Or rather I went to a bank. I couldn't get close enough to my old friend, the president, to have any converse. The lobby was too crowded with prosperous farmers and equally prosperous negroes, all of them stowing away money. The ebony hued customers, at the grille tossed in two cotton sale checks for a total of $600. I was convinced without any talk. The mayor later told me that the half dozen banks of the town had more than $11,000,000 deposits. I stopped many persons on the street. "You seem to have lots of money down here," I always said, suggestively. "Doin' pretty well," was the usual replyk "Crops have been good and prices are good. Everybody is getting a share, but, of course, the farm people are getting most of the clear money. They raise everything they need, and each $200 bale of cotton is practically velvet." Up and down every street radiating from the square the automobiles were parked in solid rows, each representing a family with unprecedented pur-j chasing power. On every vacant corner was springing up the ubiquitous; filling station, while the garage seemed to be putting the old fashion-1 ed livery barns out of business. Build-1 ing was evident wherever laborers could be ound to do the work, the | scarcity of men sending wages to a| minimum of $35 a week. Motion pica 41 ,,,^11 I lure meaiies iui iuiuicu on ncu as white?were doing well. It was significant that they drew their patronage during the week from the county as well as the town. The automobiles were responsible for- that. Farm dwellers who could afford only one or twG trips to town each month now "motor over" several times a week to form decisive opinions on the merits of the different stars. The general prosperity of the section is reflected accurately in the colleges, which have had more applications for admission than could be accommodated with existing equipment. Schools for girls especially have experienced a great influx of new students. Cotton mills also have emerged from the lean years into a period of great fatness, which they are sharing with their employees. Mills that never paid a dividend for a decade have raised wages and are distributing profits to stockholders. Some have ? ? i- o?*i.A? m?A oeen so prosperous, iu ioci, mai uivcj other corporations they are cutting | down their excess taxes by expending great sums in concrete roads and sidewalks, until the mill villages, which formerly were dreary wastes of mud in winter and dust in summer, now look like fine new suburban additions. Fortunes have been made by the foresightea in cotton mill stocks, bought at 25 cents on the dollar and sold above par. Agitation by the negroes for "social equality," sporadic in scattered communities under the fostering care of newcomers or ne'er do wells inspired by imported literature, has not lasted long. Eqaulity of opportunity, as reflected in their dealings with the banks, has more than offset any false social doctrines and kept the minds of the colored citizens on their legitimate business. The real has vanquished the dream, the pride of achievement has secured artificial unrest. Florence, wh0 cooked my breakfasts when I was in grammar school, has no thought of Bolshevism while her farm is producing ample potatoes, peas, corn and chickens for her own use, and seven bales of cotton to provide her pin money. Many negroes will clear $3,000. All of which is one disadvantage of prosperity ironi the town dweller's point of view. fhe wagons no longer come to town laden with chickens, eggs, butter, turnip greens and pumpkins. Small change obtained in tne past by the sale of such minor products now conies from King Cotton, an impecunious sovereign grown suddenly of vast wealth. Town people search pieadingiy for tood and pay unheard of prices without a murmur. i saw the changes, and knew in my heart that the days of old were gone. -?iy regret was burieu in my satisfaction at the prosperity of my frieuus, . \wiue 1 pi iV(tin\ ucuaicu ? ncuici i should undertaKe to become a fanner or join a labor union, instead of laboring hopelessly and without profit at a newspaper typewriter in the city. One thing 1 saw, however, which seemed to say that something remained to remind me of the past, it was a covered wagon like the old prairie schooner, which had come down from the mountains of the Blue Ridge with the sweetest apples in the world. 1 saved my pennies when a lad to "U. chestnuts from Buch wagons and once when I objected that some of the nuts seemed to have holes, the canny mountaineer soothed my fears? and made a sale?by saying there had been a lot of nails under the trees, and undoubtedly some of the nuts had fallen on them. Now in the midst of all the changes I spied, at a cross street, the canvas top of a schooner. Surely, here was something with which I could establish contact. "Yes, sir, we used to get 2,0 cents a peck for apples but we get 75 now,"' the mountaineer was saying. "We are 150 miles from home, and gasoline, you know?" I passed sadly on. As I crossed the street I saw the snub nose of a popular priced automobile sticking out in front of the bowed schooner top.? Boyd Lee in New York Times. o DILLON'S YIELD SECOND. Clemson College?South Carolina produced in 1919 a total of 1,466,000 bales of cotton o? 2,877,000 acres, or an average 01 zai pounus per acre, according to estimates of B. B. Hare, Field Agent of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture. Orangeburg county leads in production with 87,000 bales from 155,000 acres. Anderson county is second in yield with 85,000 bales from 157,000 aires, which is the largest acreage. Spartanburg county is third in yields and acreage, with 77,000 bales from 140,00-0 acres. The highest yield per acre was made by Marlboro county, which produced 380 pounds per acre, Dillon being next with 334 pounds. Lowest per acre yields were made by Jasper. 100 pounds and Beaufort, 120 pounds, these counties having suffered heavily from the boll weevil.

Housal, lhe Dutch weather prophet, says the cotton crop this year will be approximately half a million bales below that otj 1919. This reduction will be brougnt about by the ad\erse weather conditions, he says, the area of excessive precipitation in the Southwest moving eastward into the South Atlantic states. The planting of early vegetables may be begun now wun practiceal assurance of inimunity trout killing frosts. He says: "February is the climatic month oi the winter. It is the month of the winter 111 which the lowest temperatures have occurred in the South ? 'notably February 14 1891), when temperature eight degrees below zero was recorded aiong tne 24th parallel (in ; the day region 30 miles north of Columbia). In Februar;, 182.7, St. Johns river in Florida was it ozen over with !the most severe weather ever known in Charleston. I "Exactly the reverse is also true as to high, temperatures is February. On February 14, 1874 (compared to the same date in 1899),, boys played barej footed in the streets of Newberry with the temperature at 80 degrees. "Comparatively mild weather is injdicated for spring. Early vegetables such as are seasonable to plant the latter part of February can be started1 now with safety from killing frosts. It is not said that no frosts will occur. "I am entirely satisfied that the presence of the ultra violet ray with more or less intensity in the atmosphere is the controlling element in j the occurrence of killing frost. The ultra violet ray affects the two extremes?the cold of the temperature zone and the heat of the tropics?in the same manner. "One of the Haskin articles in The State recently advanced the theory that the reason why the white "tan could not endure the heat of the tropics is due to the presence of the ??1? Kn irlnlaf ivitr in uiinoro Knnrio in 'those regions. In this region the force I of the ultra violet ray is multiplied 'intensely under certain conditions | which occur et irregular stated intervals not more often than twice each month, "hese rays are nullified I in their effect on plant life at all othler times and all these periods vary leach month during ?he year. "Rain will be abundart during the spring. I said in my February fore-: cast last year that it would be more, a matter of application than low tern-, peratures which would retard the planting of cotton and the produc-, tion of a large crop. Conditions still! prevail when prospects for large fiber cropr. will not be realized. In the case of coiton, the boll weevil to some extent may be left out of the question and still cotton will b0 affected generally, more by adverse weather conditions than any other cause. "February 6, 1.019, my forecast for the cotton crop of the year was 10,-1 480,180 bales. It will not vary 200,OiOO bales from this estimate In the final count. "February 6, 1919 my forecast for the cotton crop of the year was 10,-, 480,180 bales. It will not vary 200,000 bales from this estimate In the. final count. "My forecast for the cotton crop of | 1920 Is 9,998,130 bales. "The area of excessive precipitation which has existed in the Southwest almost continuously since August, 1918, will move to the South Atlantic states during 1920, and thus overflows are indicated in bottom lands to an extent equal at least to the seasons of 1919. "Special forecasts of temperatures will be given in future from time to time." o POTATO MONEY IN POLAND. Washington, Feb. 6 ? The common, ordinary garden variety spud, has at last come into its own. Potatoes are being uesd today as currenjcy in certain rural districts in Polland. The potato, according to a dispatch Ifrom Warsaw, to the American Red IPrncc meiri** nnhlir harp toHav ia tho iv/uu; ? ,-?iv staple article of food in these regions and its value fluctuates far less than any of the various types of paper money which are in circulation. In the district around Grondo, for instance, about twenty pounds of potatoes are regarded as a fair weekly wage for the ordinary workman. One of the large land owners in Grondo, whose home was wrecked during the war, refurnished the entire mansion with articles purchased with potato money. A complete set of drawing room furniture took him down 12,000 potatoes. He is still the richest man in the town however, as his barns hold about three carloads of currency?or, in other words, just spuds. o Tax Returns for 1920 TO BE MADE BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. ueturns 01 personal rroperiy, i\ew Buildings, Transfers of Real Estate, Poll, Road and Dog Tax are to be made at County Auditor's Office from January 1st to February 20,1920 All Returns Must Be Made By School Districts.

Movement to> Establish MarketsColumbia, February 3?At a meeting of the marketing committee of I the South Carolina Landowners' Association, held here this afternoon in the office of W. B. West, secretary of the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, it was decided to put on an intensive State-wide campaign for membership to the development organization. This campaign will be under the direction of the committee and will be prosecuted by the various trades, industrial and! professional associations allied withi the South Carolina Landowners' As-i sociation in the furtherance of the i tatter's constructive program. The marketing committee was formeri at a meeting held here last week and!, consisted of one member from va-1, rious organizations. The.primary object of the membership "drive" will to> adequately finance the development organization so that of taking up the anti-boll weevil work, where the extension department of Clemson College leaves^ off by the establishment of home ] markets to distribute the diversified products of the farm. The method of procedure was decided on by the adoption of a resolution, introduced by A. Mason Gibbs Gibbs, of Columbia, president of the South Carolina Automotive Trades'i' Association, a member of the com-1 mittee. i1 The assistance of the press of the State was pledged to the program of the Landowners' Association by A. B. Jordan, of Dillon, president of the' South Carolina Press Association, also a member of the committee. G. Croft Williams, secretary of the State board of charities and correc- ' tions, stated that he had examined the program of the association and considered that it was broad and con- ; structive, and its consummation was something every South Carolinian should work toward. One of the fundamental needs of the State, he asserted, was an adequate system of marketing, and the Landowners' As-| sociation was working toward this ob-, ject along practical lines. J. McFie Anderson, of Columbia, president of the South Carolina Hardware Dealers' Association, said that his association would certainly assist in the program of the development organization in every way. He intends to call the hardware dealers of Columbia together this week and pluce before them the program of the association. A majority of the marketing com mittee, which is composed of the following men, was present at the conference. C. R. Sprott, of Manning, Chairman; A. Mason Gibbs, of Columbia; J. D. Hammett, of Anderson; J. McFie Anderson, of Columbia; A. B. Jordan, of Dillon; A. E. Padgett, of Columbia; T. B. Stackhouse, of Columbia; Iradell Jones, of Columbia; E. T. H.

I , MOBDKV GIVES EL VIGOK CKEDIT. Ti'oiible Kept After Daughter for Years and Seemed Like it Would Never Let Up. "I give El Vigor credit for being the best niedicilne ever made, after what it has done for my daughter," said L. D. Moblev, who resides at No. 7 Savannah Street, Atlanta, Ga. "Fourteen years ago, my daughter begun to suffer from a serious and painful kidney trouble. It seemed to grow worse as she grew older and it had finally come to the place where she could eat, could hardly sleep at night and begun to grow pale and thin and look and act like a child that would never be healthy. "It is ust wonderful to see the change in her since she took El Vigor. All that old disagreeable truble disappeared. She is as healthy and 'strong as if she had never suffered a day in her life.
