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. Quillen, brilliant writer and
v?iasinyu?r, aoaounceB mat ne has ,
f discontinued publishing the Fountain
Inn Tribune because it does not pay <
expenses. 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.

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.

AS EXPLANATION.
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.

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.
