IS. hB _______ ~ ^ SOUTH CAROLINA'S LOSS IN m.y3 COTTON IS MILLIONS Commissioner Harris Gives Figures Going to Prove His Assertion. Commissioner Harris figures that it eost the farmers of South Caroling around $250,000,000 to produce the 1920 cotton crop, rfnd that the present prices our incomes from the crop would be but $140,000,000. This would mean a loss of more than $100, 000,000 or enough to run the state government and all educational institutions in South Carolina for ten Fears. Mr. Harris in a statement .says: It is the manufacturer's right to ^0 put the price on the commodities he makes, it is right for the merchant to price his goods. It is also right for the banker to price his money he represents their capital. Then and therefore It certainly is the right of the farmer to put a price on the produce he grows for it represents his labor* And agriculture is -the bedrock upon which the prosperity of the world depends. , Can the farmers price the .products they grow. They can. < How - may they do so ? First they- ^rili have to diversify their crops so as to make their homes self supporting. So fang as a 'farmer buys his living he is giving away two dollars for every one he takes in. This is not a fair exchange. 7 Now, let's see where his money goes. He is not enriching himself, nor his state for the money'that goes out of the state impoverishes the state, and enriches other states correspondingly. Let us look at the ex -A itl. penditures or toe rarmers 01 iu?o state. > Up to November 1st, the privilege tax collections, (tag tax on fertilizers) ?amounted to 1270,000, representing the sale of 1,080,000 tons of fertilizer. At an average price of $55 per ton, the cost of fertilizer to the farmers for 1920 has been around $39,4000,000. Fertilizer $59,400,000 Mixed feeds, 185,000 tons 13,875,000 Corn used in state (estif mated) 15.000.000 ' Oats 10,000.000 Hay 11,000.000 Flour 20,000.000 Bacon 18,000.000 Total $144,275,000 * (The amonnt of corn, oats, hay, bacon and floor is estimated but I am ?--wri-e the estimate is too low. I have r taken no account of syrup, coffee, and other things that are bought for the farm.) In the above tabulation no account is taken of the expense of labor for " ""Hi" arirl Catherine of the IUC UIOAiug uuu c 1920 crop. Now, lets see where we stand. Estimate the crop at 1,400,000 bales. 1 myself do not think that much will be gathered but that is an estimate. If every bale sold for 20 cents a pound, where would we stand? I' round numbers the receipts for this cotton would be $140,000,000 or $100 a bale. This is less than the cost of provisions listed -above. To the $144,2.75,0.00 we piust add . something for the cost of labor. It will cost at least .15 cents per pound to grow and gather and market the .crop, in fact that is too low an esti. mate. Accepting that however, wt get a total of $105^000,000 at th Mta nf a hale on 1 400.00 ) bales. Now, if one will run out these calculations for himself, he will find tha1 the cotton crop of South Carolina on the basis that I have indicated cost '37 7-18 cents a pound-at low esti mates. So we can readily see that if thii <erop gets out of the hands of the fat ners at those figures, the farmers and in fact the entire state in ?' lines of business would lose -more than $100,000,000 on the year's-crop. As the crop cost, we will say, T250.OttO'.OOO, the percentage of the loss is astonishing. These figures must make the "farmer pause,and tlink. "before he -plants another crop. o ONE JMA-V DEAD; TWO ARRESTED. Result ?Qf Serious Automobile Aociideut Near Duncan.

The jury found that Green was in the car at the time of the accident, but that T. B. Bogan was driving and was running the car at an alleged % reckless rate of speed. The four above named men were in the ca* at the time of the accident, according to witnesses, who testified that a pint bottle of whiskey was found on the ground when they reached thf point where the accident occurred. All four men were injured. Bogan receiving severe lacerations about the right ear and cheek. Green and Chandler were only slightly injured. M*.Millan was terribly injured about the head and died early this morning af a local hospital where he was rushed Immediately after the accideptr^ t 1 SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. tj ] There is an old saying that wfien 1 i one begins to live in the past they are getting old. The Herald is getting old,(1)ut the men who make it are still full of youthful vigor and < enthusiasm. The past is interesting, t however, and sometimes in our idle 1 moments we dig back into the old c Herald files and read the history of ? events as it was written years ago. a Following are a few items taken t from the files*of 1904, just sixteen 1 years ago, which may be of interest I to some of our readers: i Prof, and Mrs. W. W. Nickels, who t were married in Blacksburg on the & 24th instant, arrived in Dillon last 1 Saturday night are are boarding with ? Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Bethea. e Mr. Dock Hamilton, 'after a long t period of service with J. W. Dillon I ? Son, has resigned his position and c will move out on the farm. ? f Miss Argent Bethea returned to e Weslyan Female College at Macon, I tia., Monday night. Col. Knox Livingston of Bennetts- f ville spent yesterday In the city. \ Hon. T. F. Stackhouse left Sunday night for Columbia to be present i at the opening of the legislature. The railroad officials have prepared plans for the new depot and will begin work on the structure in a few weeks. The building will be constructed on modern plans with toilet rooms and other conveniences attached. In order to give an idea of the amount of business that passes through the local dispenstary during the year we give below the amount ' the town and county received from the dispensary from Jan. 3, 1903 to Dec. 31st,' 1903: The town $5,413,48. The county: $5,413.48, making a grand total of $10,826.96. Messrs. Lilep and Hargrove, young' men with ginger and get up and get i there in them have embarked in the fire insurance business. The bright, happy face of our (good friend, Thad Bethea, is all i smiles this morning. There was 1 j'born to Mr. and Mrs. Bethea last i night a daughter. This is th e first ; little lady in this house, and it is |the brighter for it. May she be a ? great blessing to her fond parents. ' Drs. Weatherly and Brown have 1 moved their offices from the McLaurin building to Peters* Pharmacy on 1 I Mam street. I Lemmie Stubbs, the efficient young -assistant cashier at the Peoples bank, '| has compiled a list of the business {houses and offices in Dillon. The list i shows a total of 74 business houses and offices actively engaged in business.

To Thomasville, C., goes the distinction tor the second lime of being J the first Chapter in the Southern Division, and also in the country, to enroll Its quota of members in the ,;Red Cross Roll Call. Last year the telegram announcing that one-fifth ' j of the population of th e town had '.joined the Red Cross reached Division Headquarters at three o'clock on 'the first afternoon of the Roll Call. ] This year they set a new record. At ! seven o'clock in the morning on No- Jvember 11, almost one-third of the 'population of Thomasville had enroll- . \ed, or 1018 Red Cross members out ' of a population of 3800. This is a oiecord that may well be envied by 1 leather towns in the country, not on- J jljr .as an accomplishment, but as an j indication of a get-together spirit in the jpeople that is necessary to make such ;accomplishments possible. The I Southern Division congratulates tThomnsville on its achievement. | o I SACKS FROM POOR COTTON. I Wont Low Grades Vsed In ManufaoI tuner, it is Said. Columbia, Nov. 27. ? Manufacturers of guano and cotton seed meal jare requested in a resolution adopted by the executive committee of the South Carolina Division of the Amer. lean Cotton Association to use sacks made from low grade cotton for the output of their plants next year. Co' | ton association officials estimate thv jthis would dispose of about 375.00d , j bales of low grade cotton. The suggestion is also made th.r cotton cloth made from low gradt . cotton or linters weighing not mnn than two pounds to the yard be used . in lieu of jute bagging for th? > baling of next year's crop. It is estimated that this would dispose of a*. additional 350,000 bales of low grade cotton. j CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS. >r. Duncan Returned to Dillon; Rev. W. C.

Some of the principal additions just low is the opening of the Palmetto rlotel, which I think can be nafely laid, is one of the best (if not the >est) hotel in South Carolina this side of big Pee Dee river. It is equip>ed with all up-to-date conveniences, vater, electric lights, etc. Another enterprise is the Lake /iew Light and Power Co'a. plant arhich has just been put into operaion. This plant is run by water pow;r, using the old Pages Mill pond, and )f course we don't claim to have a jalnt equal to some of the great pow?r plants in the Piedmont section, jut we have a plant with power, and ve invite any of our sister towns who ire somewhat in the dark to come lown some night and look at some real electric lights. On account of the changing of the lame from Pages Mill to Lake View, jeople have some difficulty in locat Jig our town from a distance, ^ia iu je some distance from home and to .ell people you are from LalAe View :hey don't seem to locate you, but the lame of everything has been changed, :he railroad station being the last vhich was officially changed more han a year ago.

Sheriff Lane, accompanied by of icers from North Carolina, went to ..atta early Tuesday morning and arested L. M. Grainger, a young white nan, charged with having robbed a >ank at Tabor, N. C. Grainger was making arrangenents to open a moving picture show 11 Latta, and had purchased his jquipment. He was married last Junday. Grainger was formerly employed at he Tabor bank he is charged with "laving robbed. He left the employ )f the bank about a year ago. It is illeged that he returned to Tabor, vent into the bank at night, opened be vault and took war savings [tamps and liberty bonds valued at jeveral thousand dollars. The bank officials were at a loss 0 account for the missing securities, ind there were times when suspicion jointed to regular employees in the jank. Grainger and his former connections with the bank were forgotten. The robbery might ha\j regained a mystery if it had not been liscevered in some way that Grainger ft'.as disposing of war stamps and ionds. This directed suspicion toward lim, and acting upon the assumption hat they had sufficient evidence to hold him for the crime, officers came 3own from North Carolina and placid him under arrest.

Mr. Chavis for a number of years served as a local preacher in the neighborhood where he wa? reared, the upper part of Marlboro county. He was held in the vert highest esteem by every one and had accumulated considerable property and was in good financial condition. However, the delay In gathering his crops, the heavy losses that he and others are sustaining in their prodiucts, his own worries and troubles 'and the troubles and worries of his friends and neighbors had supposedly effected his mind during the last two or three weeks and according to friends, he was noticeably njenthlly wrong. No one, however, stispectled his committing any act of violence either upon himself or any one else. The Rev.
