C., February 17, 1991 Mr. Rockfeller made a $1,000,000 - contribution to charity and the price ^ * of gasoline went down two cents. | Surely, these are abnormal times in which we are living. "Robt.

All of which goes to prove that a prophet is "not without honor save in his %wn country." We eenoot believe that money is scarce in Dillon. A local grocer tells Us that his weekly saleg of snuff run over $300.00. There are some half dosen grocery stores in Dillon and the average in the others must be Just as high. The high cost of transportation is ta mill-stone around the neck of industry, including agriculture. In our view ghe last raise in freight rates twas unjustified so long gs the government was paying the deficits of the - railroads. New that the raise has been made it naturally sticks, and ln K -.?? - iuou; ouncis. nut. umy mercnanis t but farmers are keenly feeling the f price of transportation an d it is a cause for grumbling. The freight on a car load of hay from the west to Dillon, so a local wholesaler tells us, is something over $200 and this comes out of the pocket of the farmer. It ^ might be said that the farmer who t buys western hay deserves no sympa- i thy, which is true, but that does no t help matters. Every time a car load c of hay comes into Dillon that much 1 money goes out never to return again, and the railroads get the bulk of it in excessive freight rates. THE HERALD'S LATTA BUREAU. ? Tt give us pleasure to announce 1 that we have opened a news bureau | and business office in our neighbor- ( ing town Latta. We have had this * plan under consideration for some I time, bat as our neighbor ha'd its , own qteWBpaper we felt that its news , and business field was fully covered , and we had no right to invade its ter- , rltory. The Herald is a county paper j and does not represent any particu- < ftar aeotion of Dillon county. It Is a i booster for Dillon county, and it is 1 our earnest desire to have every sec- ! tioa of the county faithfully repre- 1 anted. There will be a "Latta Depart- 1 neriT' carried in The Herald every ' week, and the excellent beginning our correspondnt makes this week shows [ what our readers may expect from j this department in the future. The bureau will be conducted by ' Mr. W. Ellis Bethea, who needs no i Introduction to the people of Dillon County. Mr. Bethea will have complete charge of the Latta territory. He is authorized to accept and re* ceipt for subscriptions, receive or- J dera for commercial printing or ad- ( wertising and represent The Herald t as fully in that section as if he were connected with the head office at Dillon, and anyone in or around Latta who has any business to transact with The Herald may transact it j through Mr. Bethea. < We trust the good people of Latta j and vicinity will co-operate with Mr. ? Bethea in his efforts to make the Lat- < ta Bureau a success. It is a field full ] of possibilities, and its development | will tend to make the people of the entire county better acquainted. The gathering of news from week , to week is no easy task. It is a task , that involves a great deal of work and no Kttle tact. Mr. Bethea will ap- i preciate the co-operation of the pub- i lie, which can be of great assistance ! to him by sending in news items of, interest, or keeping him informed of the happenings of the community from day to day. 4 Carter-Harrington. Mr. Clarence Harrington of Mul11am 3. C., and Miss Sallie Carter of Hamer, S. 0., were quietly married February 5th and left the 6th for Mr. Harrington's home. We regret rery much that Miss Carter will leave our community as she was a great worker in our midst. * She taught school in Dillon county for about 4 years and made lots of friends that will regret her leaving Dillon county.

To the Editor of The Dillon Herald: Pleas** publish the followine ?s an explanation for the benefit of the Dll. Ion people in regard to our trouble iast week. I.N. E. Carto, president of several :afea in North and South Carolina returned to Dillon ou the morning of February 10th from a business trip jh above named place. Not feeling very ivell I stayed around my place of business very close. Along in the afternoon the police came in. He arrested me and I was put in the city guard house, a very filthy, low down, contaminating place full of lice and iuch parasites. No man should be put here, and especially one who is in-( nocent of charge upon which I was Arrested. Now everyone should know ( that the Greeks are civilized. They gave civilization to the world. We were criticised severely In the court room. I think and will always contend that it was wrong and also if given a chance we can show the people of Dillon that we can prove ourselves to be true, worthy, loyal, and upright citizens in the town of Dillon.

The Herald has been requested to 'publish the following letter, and it (is hoped that if there is any friction between buyers and warehousemen jor buyers and graders that it can be I removed: CLamson College, S. C., February 8, 1921. Mr. T. L. Manning. Dillon, S. C.. Dear Mr. Manning:? Replying to your letter of January 31 In which you mentioned that it is being circulated on the streets of Dillon by local cotton buyers that the Erpert Corporation is no good for the reason that they require him to take 175 points off of March, and that all | other concerns require him to take | off only 125 points, and that the Export Corporation will not take government grades, I have wired Governor Manning for information. I am quoting his wire. "We glue 125 points off on March in Anderson and other points. In some places one hundred a^d fifty off where cotton is not as good quality. In no places one hundred seventy five off. We buy on government grades when properly classed." It seems from his telegram that the attitude of the Export Corporation has not been properly stated. It certainly shows one thing, that they are not opposed to the government grades. From what I have learned of the situation at Dillon, your buyers have determined to discredit the Dillon Warehouse aud Marketing. Association, and also the grades of the United States government. I am forced to come to this conclusion from the following facts. All disputes and differences between buyers and sellers of cotton are generally settled, by the cotton exchanges at New York and New Orleans, and these exchanges use the United States government grades. Now I am sure that your buyers at Dillon know this fact to be true, and yet they state that the trade will not accept cotton graded, based on government grades. Again, they claim the cotton manufacturers will not accept cotton graded, based on government grades. Again,-they claim the cotton manufacturers will not accept cotton graded on government grades. This criticism of cotton buyer8 came to me sometime ago and I wired Mr. J. D. Hammett of Anderson, President of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' Association, and I am quoting from his letter. "I had not heard of any report that the South Carolina cotton mills will not accept cotton purchased on the grades of the United States government, and cannot but feel that this report la like many reports scattered around by those that are antagonistic to the cotton mill interest. I | have never heard of any one objecting to the grades of the United States Government, and have no idea anyone with ordinary amount of common sense would object to the grades of the United Stats Government." I think you will agree with me that that is a very plain and direct state ment from the President of the cotton manufacturers of this state and brands as absolutely false any statemeent that the cotton mills of South Carolina will not buy cotton based on government grades. I want to call your attention to the fact that the buyers in Orangeburg absolutely accept the grades of our cotton grader. In a large majority of cases they never never see the cotton and purchase entirely on the grade of our grader. This is true in Aiken, in Fdgefield and in other points in the State. Now, if the buyers in these markets are willing to accept cotton graded on government grades, why is it that the Dillon 4>uyers are unwilling to accept cotton graded on government grades, provided, of course, our man, Mr. Banks, grade3 the cotton properly? We have never heard that Mr. Banks was not an efficient 'and capable cotton grader. I With all of these facts before you, | it seems to me that you will agree with me that your buyers have combined for the purpose of *discrediting the effort that you and others have made for the scientific marketing of the farmer's cotton. Your relief, it seems to me, is for the farmers to pool their cotton in large quantities and invite outside buyers to visit Dillon and bid on the cotton assembled. ! You are at liberty to use this letter in any way that you see fit. With kind personal regards, I am Sincerely yours, W. W. Long, Director. WWL?LB o Committee On Church Grounds.
