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.

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

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

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.

AX EDITOR'S ADVICE
TO HIS SOX.
Macon. Ga., July 14?William F.
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.
