f hr Sillutt lijrralh SUBSCRIPTION - $2.50 Per IV. i Billon, 9; C., September 8, 1020 THE CONSUMER PAYS | 1 ! Lots of folks are wondering why they have to ?pay such prices for woolen goods when the price of raw! wool is so low. The government says there are four billion pounds of virgin wool in the world's storep houses and the manufacturers used a hundred and thirteen million fewer' pounds last year than in 1918. The reason is that manufacurers are using ) old woolen rags, mixing them with ?w*?oll rurniMitaafl nf vlrcln' W<V>1 It is claimed that in aome cases these old rags are reworked as much as eight times. Not only has this practice crippled the wool industry, but it has flooded the markets with an in, inferior quality of so-called woolen goods. It is a fraud, pure and sim-1 pie, and the men guilty of such practices should be haled before the federal courts. ' . Considerable interest is being manifested in the outcome of the, race between Smith and Warren for the United States Senate. It is not because the friends of each candidate are considerably "worked up" over their favorite, but because the race has narrowed down to a question of Issues instead of men. Geo. Warren is a young man. Until he entered the race for the senate he was practically unknown outside of hir. congressional district. Senator Smith hog served two terms in the: upper house of Congress and is known: to nearly every voter in South Caro-| lina. Before he entered the cam-j paj^n Warren raised an issue which, ?>? artvoratAd fitronelv on the Stump. and which was just as vigorously defended by his opponent, Mr. Smith. Mr. Warren is a prohibitionisf, but he wants the provisions of the Volstead act modified. He stands for the 18th amendment, which swept whiskey out of the country, btit he says the enforcement adt?that is the I Volstead act?is too drastic Mr.1 Warren thinks women should be al?. lowed to make a little wine for per-J sonal use; man should be allowed to make a little cider for personal use;! and a good citizen should not be called a law-weaker if he takes a legally acquired bottle, out of his eel-' lar and carries it along with him on ffiHS?SI?51?5H??Sb FZ,,. irri T EB 7 ? - i ' \ ; r ffl . . ; v E3 ; ar B3 - bl E3 is B3 at S k* Fl J 7 av !

Mr. Warren says we are getting to * far away from state's rights; that we are centralizing the power of government fa Washington and it is time to call a halt. Mr. Smith -is a prohibitionist. He, too, stands for the 18th amendment and voted for the Volstead actJ He says the enforcement act is necessary; that prohibition would be a farce without it. He says it is not too drastic; that if it is modified it will let down the gap to bootleggers and law-breakers. The issue is clearcut. The race is being watched with interest, not only in South Carolina, but throughout the nation. It Is evi dent that it 3rill be a test of sentiment in a strong prohibition state ( on the Volstead act?a law* which has i caused quite a lot of serious discussion throughout the United States. o HAPPY MARRIAGE AT FAIR BLUFF Mr. Elihn Muldrow Tells of Happenings in North Carolina City Dear Herald: 'Tis a great pleasure to visit your sanctum occasionally and watch how earnestly and dilligently you exert yourself to keep pace with?the newspaper world and your neighbors in their several callings in adding more dollars to their bank account, and from observation along these lines Dillon is on the up-gra&e as to growth and enterprises and will continue so as long as Dillonites pull together. This old Tarheel town's greatest source of wealth comes from tobacco and coonskins. The later is of huge proportions, and while the fur season lasts thousands of fur-bearing, skins find their way to Pat's, tthe mayor and high cockalorium and coonskin king of the town. Often some new enterprise gets an airing, but soon falls down and the present j outlook Is that the old town will trot along at her usual pace for years to come. The Baptists are in a fair way to have a resident pastor, whjjch will add much for the uplift of the town and as the folk that wish to marry are often put to a lot of trouble to find the proper official to tie the matrimonial knot, his coming will end their trouble. Some times a quick trip to the marriage altar is made, as was the case of Capt. Alex. Barnes, It was on Thursday of last week when the wedding bells were ringing joyously in the back country, a few miles out of town. The captain was the prime factor in this nuptial climax, and also a prosperous farmer, rich in flocks of goats, hogs and other domestic animals, such as canines and cats. The captain being a widower of a few months standing, by chance or otherwise,' came across that passage in Holy writ which said: "It was not meet for man to live alone/' AgreeGi ATTEI ^ E have the larj ploy the best id keep same iiffi. it throughout the : light, or eight gins our plant.
