terfere with the liquor business in
New Jersey, saying that this is a
matter for the People of New Jersey i
to settle. The Supreme Court has
been settling certain important cases
with a slender margin of late but it is
to be hoped that this question will
be settled one way or the other un- i
animously, so that there will be no (
doubt about it. i

Carpenters in the cities, we. are J
told, are getting $1 an hour and asking
for $1.25. Brick layers are get- .
ting $1.50 and asking for more. We (
don't know where it's going to stop. {
The laboring classes in the cities are j
earning freely and spending with s
nanus vwut? upfii. upcia nuustfs anu *
other places of amusement are crow- <
ded to capacity. The stores are over-jS
run with customers who want the best:
money will buy. It is not a question
of save, but how much can I ea"" t
and how fast can I spend it? But i
what will happen to the nation if the'
soil-tillers begin to demand eight;
hours and exorbitant pay? The reason
the soil-tiller has not made un-;
reasonable demands on his employer I
is that he lacks the place and the opportunity
to waste money. But this I
orgy of extravagance is bound to!
spread and when it reachesThe rural
communities the city dweller who set
the example will suffer. CJotton will

GROWTH OP CITIES.
Census rettirns from the small cit- a
ies so far given out would indicate s
that their advance over 1910 is noth- ?
ing remarkable. It is probably a little i
early to estimate, but all indications f
point to the fact that the remarkable s
growth of certain of the large cities j1
will bear the burnt of the 1920 pop-j^
ulation growth.
Census returns of most of the g
small towns and small cities given [
out so far indicate a smaller growth
than during 1900-10. J
For a decade there has been complaint
in the agricultural districts and
small tort-ns regarding the attractions
of the cities in causing losses
in citizens to such districts and small
towns. Some of*this complaint has'
been heard in Dillon. Yet in spite of|
the complaints so generously made'
the large cities are finding it difficult
to house the increase In popu-i
lation.
\
This thing cannot go on forever.
Life outside of the large cities must
not only be made attractive, but so
remunerative that there will be no
logic in folks moving to the cities.

COURT HEARS EQUITY MATTERS.
Monday and Tuesday Devoted to
Equity Cases, No Jury Cases
Being Herard.
j Owing to the'influenza quarantine
which was not lifted in time to summon
the jurors, there were no jury
cases heard at the spring term of the
Common Pleas Court which convened
Monday. Monday and Tuesday were
devoted to hearing equity matters and
court adjourned Tuesday, Judge Wilson
leaving for his home at Manning
Wednesday morning.
The greater part of Tuesday was
devoted to the hearing of arguments
in the case of J. D. Haselden vs. W.
M. Hamer. This case had its beginning
about 10 years ago when the
plaintiff gave the defendant cotton
.mill stocks as security to a note for
approximately $24,000.00. Thc note
was not paid at maturity and subsequently
the plaintiff brought an action
for the recovery of the mill stock.
The case went to the supreme court
and Hamer obtained judgment for approximately
$50,000.00 less certain
credits from dividends, etc. The stock
was sold before the court house, but
an appeal was taken which resulted in
a decree of the supreme court setting
the sale aside and ordering the master
to make an accounting for the purpose
of ascertaining the amount due
by plaintiff to defendant. There was
no conflict between plaintiff and defendant
as to the original amount of
the debt, nor was there any question
as to the amount of credit which
should be allowed. On December 3rd,
1919 plaintiff's attorneys tendered

defendant's attorneys the sum of $35,000
which they claimed was the
amount due on the note, including a ?
reasonable margin fof any costs that ?
might hereafter' be taxed against
him. The defendant claimed this' was
not a legal tender for the reason that
his former counsel was not in the ^
case at that time and therefore could ^
not represent him in the transaction,
This was the main point -argued before
Judge Wilson Tuesday. Arguments
were also presented on the I
question of the costs and attorneys
fees, the defendant claiming that he
was entitled to costs and attorney's Wk
fees, which, if allowed would exceed. V
the amount of the tender, $35,000;
and therefore render the tender null
and void.
Tuesday afternoon arguments
were heard on the injunction proceeding
brought by J. D. Haselden,
Wade Stackhouse, W. H. Muller and
others, against the Dillon Mills to
prevent the Mills from increasing Its
capital stock. Several weeks ago the
Mills issued a call for a meeting of
its stockholders to consider the question
of issuing additional stock. The
plaintiff's appeared before Judge
Mclver at Chambers and obtained a
temporary injunction. ? The matter <
came up before Judge Wilson at this
term, but he continued the hearing
on the ground that several of ' the
parties to the proceeding had not
been served and the case had not
been docketed 14. days before the
convening of court as required by +
statute. v.
