WHERE OUR MONEY GOES. Columbia. March 14?South Carolinian8 imported $11,000,000 worth of food and feedstuffs from the West last year, according to figures complied by the committee on banking, legislation and warehousing of the warehousing of the South Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association. The importation of this enormous amount of foodstuffs into the state was made necessary by the eagerness of the farmers to raiBe cot ion, many 01 mem planting seventeen acres to the plow. In a statement issued yesterday the! association declared that there was' no reason tor the farmers of the state to be panic-stricken over the fact that the price which cotton is; now bringing forbids them planting! over a half crop of it next year. It is( aeUared that a study of the figure* collected by the committee on banking, legislation and warehouses of the association ought to convince tbem that a diversification of crops fat South Carolina will prove profit-j able. I According to the committee state-; ment the importation of food and feedstuffs into South Carolina from the West last year was as follows: Corn $15,000,000. Mixed feeds $13,000,000. , Hay $12,000,000. i t Oats $10,000,000. ! Flour $20,000,000. Bacon $20,000,000. Beef $5,000,000. Eggs and butter $3,000,000. Canned Goods $13,000,000. Making a grand total of $111,000,000. "These figures", says the association "ar e purchases from this state] only and every item must be paid for in cash before the goods are delivered together with the freight. This amount could be spent at home if the farmers of South Carolina would get their minds off of cotton for a few minutes." C? Tobacco Men to Organize. "Florence, S. C., March 14 ? Officers and members of the South Carolina Tobacco Association meeting in Florence Wednesday, March 23, wil, decide whether the "bright" tobacco growers of this state shall, or shall not undertake the organization of tbe Sapiro marketing plan along with North Carolina and Virginia. T. Benton Young, secretary of the association, has sent official notice to the MPClltiv? ennimltlppmnn of averv county in the state tobacco belt, urging him to be present and to bring with him half a dozen of the leading tobacco men of his community. The meeting now\ called results from a session of the executive committee which convened here last week to consider this proposition. Dr. W. W. Long, of Clemson College, director of the South Carolina extension service, will be present to advise with the committee and visiS 51 ? H ffl ? HI 5! H @ I MODF (+1 =: Overhead expei * expense.

It will either droi the Sapiro plan or it will enter lnt< a vigorou8 campaign for organizatior under its provisions. The chief consideration, and prob ably most difficult factor in reaching a decision, is to find the ways and means of putting on the campaign Perfecting the organization will be expensive. The experience of relying upon volunteer workers has not beer encouraging.And, often times, as men most interested in such work know, the men of the primary interest?that is the farmers themselves?have not taken warmly to the proposition. ' If the meeting March 23 determines to organize on the Sapiro plan, the decision is expected to follow the finding and provision of ways and means to execute the program. ? o SUFFERING ARMENIA. There are today between one and a half million Armenians, homeless, half-naked and starving, scattered throughout the Near East, the remnants of the oldest Christian nation in the world whom war has utterly impoverished and driven to despair. They appeal to us to save them. We have money. We can do the Job. It is our clear duty to save these, lest they perish.. We have felt little of the warilut with these people loval to the ideal they fought for in common with us has meant the annihilation of a million men, women and children. We have found peace. But with them the war has never ceased, and today it is more cruel and more ruthless than it has ever been. If we fought for the security of the world, we i l.ave not won until security has been assured these faithful people who were our allies in the struggle and who have found destitution and hunger and death where we have found tranquility and plenty and contentment. Thfere is no need in the world anyI where like this need of the Armen| ians. It is absolute, abject misery | from which there is no escape save through our help. There are 250,000 little children in the war-devastated land who have been the wards of the American people, through the Near East Relief, for the past three years. If our aid is withdrawn, these children starve. We have begun the work of saving them. We must carry it through. The appeal of the Near East Re lief at this lenten season is for a sacrifice to save these little children, tc rave this martyred Christian people That each man, woman and child in the United States give of his plenty that these needy ones may live. Wha1 wc waste would do It. But if, in the spirit of Easter, we sacrifice something for the sake of those who have suffered so much, a whole nation will be reborn through us. o Subscribe to The Dillon Herald. 03 HI ffl @ H @ I?

DANGER SIGNALS / 7 Headache, colds, aausea, blues, mental detpression?these are not only painful and . annoying, but they are danger signals. > A great majority of these passing illnesses 1 are due to self-poisoning resulting from constipation. Unless you keep your system free from decaying food waste, you start contin fuous poisoning inside. Ultimately Bright's disease, rheumatism, gout, diabetes, pernicious anemia, and the like, may result. Pill*, castor oil, laxative waters and salts only foroe and irritate the bowels, and make oonstipation a habit. Nujol works on an entirely new prinoiple. Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply | softens the feed waste. This enables the many tiny muscles in the walls of the intestines, contracting and expending in their normal way, to squeeze the food waste ?K along so that it passes naturally out of the system.
