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."

"Florence, S. C., March 14 ? Officers
and members of the South Carolina
Tobacco Association meeting in

THE DILLON HERA
tors- The result of this meeting is ex
pected to be final. 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.

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.

am perfectly satisfiel that Doan'si
Kilncy Pills are all that is claimed of
, them and I am only too glad to give
. them my endorsement. My kidneys
had been in A-l shape until a few
years ago and then I had a bad attack
of kidney trouble. My back started
to ache and pain me, making my
work awfully hard. Sharp, digging
pains would dart up and down my
back. The kidney secretions were
unnatural and howed that my kidneys
1 needed immediate attention. I was in
awful shape when I read of Doan's
, Kidney Pills in the local paper and
decided to try them. I bought a supply
of Doan's at the McLaurin Drug
Co., now the Moody Drug Co., and
\ they certaii.ly did good work in my
case. A few boxes of Doan's cured
me of the trouble and fixed me up in
I fire condition."
