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

his vacation. 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.

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
