res ' * ? , ' % $hr Dillon liuralii A. U. J OKI) AN Editor SUBSCRIPTION - S3.50 Per Yr. Dillon, S. t'.. July 31. 1931. The price of crude oil is below the 1313 level, but the refined article that goes to the consumer is still stlling at war-titne prices. Harry Ward, known in the Chicago underworld as the "Lone Wolf," was hanged last Friday. Before going to the gallow.s Ward made a statement' in whicli he said his father was re-: sponsible for his death because he had not been strict enough with him. j That was the wail of a weakling, but atyway it stands out as a sermon to other fathers who are careless and indifferent toward their sons. The father is morally responsible to the boy until he reaches his majority, and the son who resents the exercire of paternal authority before he rea-'hes 2 i is the very boy who needs watching. Ward was, no doubt, an unruly son. and ins father allowed him to have his own way. His eleventh hour wail comes with poor grace, but what h'> said should serve as a warning to other fathers who turn their sons loose before they reach the age of judgment and discretion. UKTTKIt TIMKS AHEAlK Tlte prices paid for tobacco at the opening of the markets Tuesday were disappointing, but the man who frets and worries over what the future holds in store is giving himself a whole lot of unnecessary trouble. Men whose business is to study the market predicted low prices on the opening days. They knew that lots of inferior tolrucoo would bc. offered for sale, and a systematic newspaper campaign against marketing this quality of tobacco was of little avail. There was lots of it on the Dillon county markets and we take it for granted that lots of it was otrerea for sale on other markets. The world market is glutted with tobacco of an inferior quality. It brought fancy prices during the war and'quantities of it are still in storage. The manufacturers do not want ii and the dealers cannot dispose of it. When offered for sale it brings the average down, and that is the reason warehousemen warned the farmers against bringing it to the markets last Tuesday. It is the opinion of tobacco experts that good grades of tobacco will bring fair prices, and the prediction is freely made that as the season advances the price will improve. At least everything points that way. Not only the south but the entire ] nation is suffering from lack of confidence. People do not like to buy on a 1 falling market, and it is infinitely ' better for the morale of the country j if the markets open low and make a , steady advance than if they open high and show a steady decline. It is. better for tobacco to sell for 5 cents on the opening and advance to 30 cents than lor it to open at 30 cents and decline to five cents. Dillon county and the entire cotton belt will fare much better and take a more hopeful view of the future if cotton opens at 5 cents and sells up to 15 cents than if it opens ?? J -a11- r - ? 4 ?L AU ti'iua UUU BUll? UUWU 10 O cents. I For the last six months there has been a steady decline in the price of stocks. The New York stock market has beet} demoralized, but regardless of how contradictory it seems, nevertheless it is a fact that the decline in the price of stocks was accepted by well-informed businesss men as the first sign of a nation-wide business revival. Stocks could not stand still and they could not go higher. They went down, and now that the bottom has been reached they must go up as naturally as they went down, and there will be plenty of buyers on a rising market. It is the same with cotton' and tobacco. It is the opinion of experts that the bottom has been reached, and as thc price of either commodity cannot remain stationery It must of necessity take an upward turn. When the advance begins there will be plenty of buyers and the markets should remain strong throughout the season. An analysis of local financial conditions is not discouraging. The last statements of the nine banks in the county showed bills payable totaling approximately $1,000,000. The banks owe this money to outside banks and H must be paidThe present indications are thai Dillon county will make 30,000 bales of cotton. Even at ten cents a pound 300,000 bales of cotton will bring In one and a half million dollars of new money. The tobacco crop at, the ost conservative estimate should rn out $1,200,000. This gives )the * V THE DILLON HE county a total of J2.700.00? in new money. After the banks have discharged their obligations to outside banks there will be left $1,700,000 which can be applied to local debts. Even at present prices that does not look so bad, but the indications are that our two money crops will turn out more than $2,7000,000. If this proves to be the case we will feel this fall the returning wave or prosperity. We are a long, ways from starvation and bankruptcy. Baseball Extra.

Taylor enrolled this week in the publisher's printing school at Macon, Ga., fot the purpose of learning to opciate modern typesetting devices. He has not completed his high school course, and will return to Philadelphia in time to carrry on lug high school work during the coming winter and he will return to Macon next summer to complete his printing school training. I William Taylor is the son of Mr. Thomas D. Taylor, well known as the editor and publisher of the Philadelphia Telegraph and former advertising manager of the New York Times I and once business manager of thej Memphis Appeal-Avalunclie. The following conversation occurred between' the father and son with reference to tlie training in Macon Printing school; fch* father having seen a page write! up of the school as it appeared in the! Editor and Publisher issued during! the convention of the American News-j paper Publishers' Association in New York. The father called the son to hint and said. "I wish you would read this: article." After reading it, the son; suggested that it might be a good | place for him to go during the sum- j mer. The father objected 10 the summer time, saying it would be better! to go in winter, that it was very iin-l portunt for a young man interested in the publishing business, in any way to take a good training in type-] setting. The machine operating iq! educative, and it always has paid well and always will pay well. Therefore. the young man who learns to operate properly, will have a good trade on which he can rely, if his business ventures hereafter do not turn out well. The knowledge that he gains in the composing room will be of greatest value when he undertakes the more important work of conducting a newspaper or printing establishment The father said, however, that he disliked to see hi* son give up his vacation to go farther south to enter school. The son said that he saw no objection to going south or to give up his vacation; that he wag interested in the publishing business, and wanted to take every opportunltv fn nrpnarA himaplf fr?r it nnri V>o wanted to come to school while he had a chance. Thc father then readily consented and the young man is now here with probably a dozen other high school students who have been sent by publishers or master printers who have the same object in view that this father had. Since coming to Macon. William Taylor says he finds that the weather is much pleasanter than it is in Philadelphia. and he was surprised to And that many tourists are summering In the mountains that form the hills around Macon. ^ Parents who wish to find lucrative employment for high-class sons will do well to get the prospectus that is issued by the Macon Printing School. It can be had for the asking. o Peach Orchards Come High. The Hamlet Messenger, published near the center of the peach industry in the sandhills of North Carolina says: One man in the famous Carolina Peach Belt was offered $200,000 for his 200 acres of bearing peaches last week. He refused. His crop this year will net him over $20,000. Think of this tidy little sum for just one man in Moore county and then consider about planting a little orchard of your own. f :RALD.
