Fjffhr Sillnn ijrralb SrBSCRIPTION - *2.5t> Per Y.. Dillon, S. C-, April 7. 1911. J* . . The great automobile plunts in Detroit are now working at virtually F! 100 per cent capacity. This indicates clearly that the business slump is nearing its end. The slump started in the automobile industry and it is but natural to expect that it would end there. The income tax law is bitting the salaried man. We heard of a man who got out of work and had to borrow $36 to pay the government. But suppose the salaried man without visible property refuses to pay? Income tax is a debt to the government &Dd the statutes prohibit imprisonment for debt. The State of Delaware has a system of whipping criminals?including wife beaters?that makeR criminal!- ( ty extremely unpopular in that little state. Recently a trio of persons were the victims. They were tied to theV judicial stake and made to feel the 1 Bting of the lash. Corporal punish-! ment, such as Delaware inflicts, is 1 not schcol boy stuff, and it is needless to remark that the system discour- , ages criminal outrages astonishingly. Tne victims not only suffer the sting i of the lash, but they also suffer the gibes of friends after they are free. There is not a single other state timt has such a law. It appears (hat it is deemed better elsewhere to send criminals to jail or the penitentiary and then support them for a stated term ? which is expensive and not overly hard on the criminal. Delaware paints their backs in a way they never forget. ' I A Charleston county farmer shipped 16 drums of beets to Washington for which he received $96- The express charges amounted to $63.72, and when he deducted the other costs, not including farm labor, he had a net profit of $8.28. And therein lies the nation's biggest problem ? th6 high cost of transportation. Farmers discburaged and refuse to produce, and who can blame them? City consumers are protesting against nigh prices, but how can the merchant lower his prices when the railraods are getting two-thirds the value of the commodity they haul in freight charges? The railroads claim they cannot lower freight rates and pay the present high salaries, and the employees threaten to strike if their salaries are reduced. Lower railroad rates will stimulate industry and pub\ lie sentiment is urging the railroads to get their house in order and provide more reasonable rates. If lower rates must coine through a reduction in wages, let's have the reduction. If reduction niean3 a nation- , wide strike, let's have the strike and ] get over with it. i Last year a Dillon enterprise sent J1,000,000 into the west for raw ma_ ] terials which could have been pro- < duced at home. The raw materials nctc luiucu iiiiu 11Aii 111c*v 1 ill t t? pi Uducts and sold at a profit, but the 1 profit represented only a fraction of the original cost of the materials. The raw products were corn, oats and wheat- The average Dillon county farmer will tell you we cannot raise corn, oats and wheat at a profit because we cannot compete with the west. He will tell you that he can buy these products at the price it will cost him to make them. Thi3 is tru% But if he can produce 1000 bushela of corn for $1000 he enriches himself iniiirerflv hv Veenine that money at home instead of sending it to the west where it never returns. Last year Dillon county spent at a conservative estimate $2,000,000 for foodstuffs. The present value of the 1020 cotton crop is less than $2,000,000 and with at least 30,000 I bales of the 1920 crop still on hand it is only a matter of simple calculation to provc that we sent more mon?y away for food products that could have been produced right at our doors than our entire cotton crop would pay for. If we make $2,000,000 worth of cottton and send away 12,000,000 for foodstuffs we are no better off at the end of the year than we were at the beginning. If we raise those foodstuffs at home and make $2,000,000 worth of cotton we have enriched our county by $4,000,000?that is we have put that much money In circulation. Reduced to an individual proposition it goes to prove that a farmer who produces 1000 bushels of corn at a cost of $1 yci uunuci nan uiaut? iiiunr.v, fVtJII 11 he could go on the open market and buy the same corn at $1 per bushel. The money he spent making the corn goes into circulation, enriches his community and some of it eventually filters back into his own hands. Whereas, if he buys 1000 bushels of corn his money goes a thousand mileH away from hom? and never returns, thereby impoverishing hig community and indirectly impoverishing himself. pi - THE DILI | As a rule the man who does the , 'most kicking about bad roads makes the loudest roar when taxed for. town improvements. Georgia has been the scene of a revelation regarding negro peonage, resulting in wholesale murders. ae_l ccrding to the charges of officers,' that is nearly without parallel. The' difficulty seemg to have been engen- ] tiered by a system of permitting plan- ! tors to pay the fines of negro criminals and then getting the privilege of, 1 the work of these men in lieu of their , sentences. The method is unconstitu_ ! tional. No state has the right to hand { OVPr avon ,-i viiuiiuitis into involuntary , servitude under private masters. The < only place for involuntary servitude, t under the constitution, is in jail or ' the penitentiary. ' o ( HOME DEMON8TRATIOJT DEPAKT- 1 MEN'T. (Conducted by Etta Sue Sellers) 1 Removing Stains from Clothing ? ? A fresh stain is more easily removed 1 than an old one, for the longer the; t stain remains in the fabric, the more. 1 deeply it penetrates the fibers and : t the more difficult it is to remove. < The nature of the stain should be ( knovn, if possible, before Its re-i ( moval is attempted, since this de-! . termines the treatment to be adopted., : The kind of fabric upon which the, stain occurs should also be known. : Cotton and linens are affected by j 1 acids, so the use of concentrated i 1 acids on these fabrics is dangerous. 1 After an acid has been used, some, J suitable alkali should b e applied to c neutralize it. Household amonia, di-j t luted with water and borax might be : f Ufced for this purpose. Wool and silk a are more delicate than cotton and i t linen, and require more careful treat-j p.ient. The use of very hot water on ; . tU " * mt-r>e iiDers snould be avoided. Strong alkalies dissolve both wool J and silk, and both are injured by washing soda or strong alkaline soap- " Acids, as a rule, do not attack wool ^ and silk readily. Methods of Ileiuoving Specific Stains. 1. Fruit Juice Stain?Stretch the stained materials over a bowl or C other vessel, securing it by a string If necessary, then pour boiling wat- S er upon it from a kettle at a height of 3 or 4 feet so that the water strikes the stain with some force. Hang in f the sun to dry. p 2. Ink?Owin g to the dlfferenc- v es tn the composition of writing inks. j] it is impossible to find agents which are equally effective. Begin with the a simplest method and if that fails. c try a more strenuous one. The fol- s lowing are some methods used. p A?Apply an absorbent (salt, corn t meal, French Chalks, Talcum Pow- 0 der, etc.) to fresh ink spots to ab- v sorb surplus ink and to prevent ink 4 from spreading. Work the absorbent r aiuuuu over tne spot to take up all t the ink. B.?Milk?Soak the stains for a t day or two, if necessary in sour milk, t changing the milk as often as it becomes discolored. I C?Oxalic acid, saturated solution. Soak the stain for a few minutes, (hen rinse in clear water, and final- r lv in water that contains an alkali. Repeat if necessary. I 8.?Iron Rust?This stain usually results either from contact with rusty iron, wash pots, or from the careless use of certain laundry bluings. In the latter case, the iron base of| the bluing comes in contact with the q alkali of the soap and forms iron o rust. To avoid this, clothes should o be thoroughly rinsed from all trace o of soap. To remove iron rust apply lemon juice and salt and place in the t 3un. Or apply oxalic acid, saturated solution as for ink. 4.?Paints and Varnishes?If tak- o en wuen iresn, paint and varnish stains can sometimes be removed by washing with soap and water. With r older stains* the paint can be soften- L e<l by rubbing oil or lard into the I spot, and then washed with hot wat- r er and soap. If the stain is old and I the paint hardened, try one of the f following: J A?Sponge stains with pure tur- i pentine and allow to stand. Wash r in hot water and soap. I B?Boil stains in a solution of j washing soda, using 3 tablespoons to ' each gallon of water. C?Mildew?This stain is really a . mold which forms on cloth that has | remained damp for sometime. It > should be removed as soon as it ap- I pears, for after It penetrates the fib- I ers, it cannot be removed without 1 injury to the cloth. A?Soap and water for fresh . stains. I B?Sour Milk?Soak overnight i and then place in the sun without I rinsing. Repeat if necessary. I I C.?Moisten with lemon juice and ' allow to remain In the sun.

IHLLOK, SOCTH CA1 WE CANT AFFCHID NOT, TO USE FERTILIZER THIS YEAR (Progressive Farmer) With fertilizer at its present high prices, can we afford to use It this year? This is the uppermost fertilizer question in the minds of the farmers in the fertilizer-using sections of the South. The Progressive Farmer haa roue thoroughly into this question from jvery angle, and the deeper we go the uore convinced we are that our farmjrs can't afford not to use fertilizer .0 make their 1921 crops. The per acre x>Bt will be increased, but the per mshel or per pound cost will be reluced, and it is the bushels ajid pounds :hat we must sell at a profit. This is not time to plunge on fertilizer n order to get phenomenal yields, or :o experiment with new mixtures. Use tafe amounts of the kinds of fertilizer ~ hat have given paying results on your ypes of soil. Not only should the ^ armers who have heretofore used ferilizer continue the conservative use j >f it, but there are farmers in every _ sommunity who have depended solely >n their own efforts and the original >lant foods in poor soil to make their irops, who should now supplement hese things with added plant food, at east on a few acres, and get awa> Irom unprofitably low yields. We can lot afford to farm at a loss again this rear, and yields of 15 to 20 bushels tf corn or a fourth to a third of a ?ale of cotton an acre will not pay or the labor, seed and use of the land md leave a profit. It is essential, uoii, tiiai our yieius ne raisea welJ ibove the average. and the only prac icable means of doing this for this 'ears is with fertilizer wisely used. j i tntonieut of tlic Owneoltip, >lana- t agement, Circulation, Eetc. lie-, n quired by the Act of Congress of r August 24, 11)12. t 1 )f the Dillon Herald, weekly, at Dil_ i Ion, 3.
