^^^^^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.

Services at Mill Village.

. 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.

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.

>{ ' 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.

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
