^^^^^JOORKSSIVE FARMING I One of Dillon's v most progressive farmers was in The Herald office a few days ago?we know he doesn't mind if we tell his name because he has something to be -proud of?Ernest Cottingham of Minturn?and in reply to the inquiry as to how much cotton he was planting this year, he told us he was planting the usual amount because he decided several years ago that diversified farming "was the only kind of farming that paid- Mr. Cottingham is planting 100 acres in cotton and 100 acres in corn. That has been his policy and he will ^ continue to follow that policy until he finds something better. "I find by rotating that you can cut your fertilizer bill in half and still make more cotton or corn to the acre than by planting the same land in the same crops year after y^ar," said Mr. Cottingham. "My invariable rule," continued Mr. Cottingham, "Is to plant an equal amount of corn and cotton and change my land from year to year. Last year I made 160 bales of cotton on 100 acres of land , and my 100 acres of corn .averaged about 70 bushels to the acre. The net profits from the>corn were much larger than the net profits from the j cotton. I do not claim that corn at i $i per bushel is more profitable1 than cotton at 40 centa a pound, but t?ke the average, year after year, and I there is more money in $1 oorn than there is in cotton at average prices.! Even when cotton sold at abnormal prices I did not increase my acreage, j I continued to plant 100 acres of cotton and the same amount of acreage in corn. I have corn enough on hand to pay the expenses of my place this year, and as I need money to car-, 'ry on farnu-work I sell my corn. If I did not liavp this surplus corn on hand I do not know what I would do. I would have to sell my cotton at any price I could get for it, as I understand the nanus are not lending; money for this year's crop expenses." j Mr- Cottingham is a firm believer | in rotation. He never plants the seme land in the same crop two years' In succession. He uses only a moderate amount of fertilizer and pets more from an acre of land than most farmers who use double they amount of fertilizer. He is one of the county's most successful farmers, and if every farmer in the county would adopt his policy several millions of dollars that goes into the west every year could be kept at home. o Services at Mill Village. 1M -J*"' '** . REV. GEO. L. MULLIS. e The evangelistic meeting is nowgoing on in the Mill village at the Second Baptist church, with Rev. Geo. L. Mullis, of MrColl. S. C.. for merly and a native of Charlotte. N. <3., doing tlig preaching. Large crowds are attending the services and the | spirit of God is moving upon the ? people in power with many visible f results. Brother Mijllis' sermons are stirring up the people and they are becoming aroused to the domestic, moral, social and spiritual needs of their village. Brother Mullis has had long experience in evangelistic and pastoral work among the mill people and his heart is thoroughly in the work. He knows their needs and loves them, and delights to state that he is one of them, though he.nevbr worked a day in the mill in his life. He labors earnestly for those things that make our villages more sanitary and beautiful and belie\es in the slogan of "Clean up or get out" and he believes and preaches with all his soul that the best way to put the Blogan over the top is to evangelize. lte tries hard to establish a mutual understanding as well as an effective love between the officials and operatives that each ought to "feel that each is an essential factor In conducting a sucessful business. He preached to men Only Sunday at 3.00 p. m. on the Subject: "Going down the Jericho road." His language was aDsoiuteiy clean yet he between the lines pictured to the very large crowd of men, old and young, the dangers of the road, that leads from the city and house of God, and God himself. Nearly every man went forward and gave the preacher his hand in response to his call. The meeting will continue this week at 7:30 p. monly, as the mills are running this week. Everybody is cordially invited to attend the services. F. W. .Walters, Pastor. o HIGHWAY THROUGH DII^LON. If present plans do not miscarry it is likely that Dillon will be on a highway connecting the north and south by the time the tourist season comes again. The plan is to parallel the PennsylVania railroad from-New York to Washington, The. R. F. * P. from Washington to 'Richmond and the A. C. L. from Richmond to Flor I 1U&. ^ The plan is not of recent origin. Other atates have been working on *t for some months and-4* iq,uoderj to^couiniwiw ?h ttfw years. * >{ ' m P stood that ?T?ry state and county through which the proposed highway runs has made arrangements to do its part- Very little work will have to be done on the roads from Washington and beyond. A hard surface road parallels the Pennsylvania from New York to Washington, and the most of the work will have to be done j south of Washington. Virginia says ; she will take care of her part of it, North Carolina has voted to build her part of the road, and South Carolina has made arrangements with t the Beveral counties through which the road passes to do their part. Chairman McLaurin of the County Board has been at work quietly on Dillon's part of the proposed highway. Dillon was asked to build seven mile3 of road to connect with the highway at the North Carolina line, and Mr. McLaurin has made com-' plete arrangements for the construe- . tion of the road. At Dillon the hieh way will connect the government j road going south and connecting with the hard surface road that will lead to the bridge over Big Pee Dee. GRAVEYARD OF i THE NORTH SEA.

But not always were the Good win Sands the dread fear of sea faring men they are today. Once. s< jtiadition runs, before the Normal conquest of England, these barret s;.nds were the fertile and beautifu cHtate of the Earl of Goodwin where he ruled in peace and mad* his home. It was then an islamJ surrounded by a high sea wall tc keep back the charging waters. With the coming of the Normans, the earl was compelled to turn his little island estate over to the ab bey of St. Augustine at Canterbury The abbot 'n charge, little realizing the condition prevalent in his newly obtained estate, allowed the great sea wall to go to pieoes, weakened by the constant beating of the wavesIn 1919 came a great storm. The seas rolled high and broke with terrific force on the weakened walls. Two days it lasted. The skies were darkened and many ships were lost. When calm came again the people in the little village of Deal gazed across thp water InwnrH tho olto ?->f the little island estate and rubbed their eyes. The island had disappeared. The sea had engulfed it. In the years that followed the island was more deeply submerged and covered with sand. It became the scene of innumerable wrecks. Every galP brought a new victim to bp swallowed by the shifting sands. Even in fair weather ships, striking the unchartered' shoals, would be speedily drawn bolo\V th,. waves by the action of the sands. The latest attempt to uncover these riches of centuries is expected to be made according to plans put forward by Lord Headway, president of the Society of Engineers of Great Britain, in an address before I AVE 1 ITED CTURING I I? r A I a v x-? n i ri | ill your orders I quantity.
