There is no way of helping curatives and it's no use to get excited ovr that item in the Fordney tariff bill which places a duty of $5 a ton on potash. The only way the farmer can even up is to purchase less pot a-sh, a?d in the long run the manufacturer loses. It might be a wise plan to ask congress to make the duty still higher. Potash is a great cotton fertilizer, and it is possible for the south to profit indirectly if congress would be kind enouSh to make the duty $50 instead of $5 a ton. The^ farmer is not compelled to use pot-, ash and the higher it go?s the less he can affoiQ to use. Recently a tarring party in a Texas town went so far as to take a woman from a hotel, spirit her to a secluded spot, disrobe Iter and cover her body with tar and feathers. The tai party did not like her moral life. The incident does not attract much attention because it is regarded as an aftermath of ihe war, but it is an act of lawlessness which cannot be I too severely condemned. Mob law such as this is a foe to civilization, the antithesis of Americanism and the next tiling to bolshevism. There is only one law?and tbat law Is the lew administered by the courts. When man trielTto use any other law .. uwuincii iii!5 w?n uci'ause strikes at the heart of civilization. DIAMONDS AT HOMK. It is a matter of regret that our, people take so little interest in movements to provide a market lor food crops. The country seems to be bound hand and foot to cotton and tobacco, th0 only crops our lands produce which cannot be consumed at homeSometimes we almost reach the conclusion that the one crop system is a habit acquired through generations, which is just as hard to shake off as the drinking of whiskey or the use of morphine and tobacco. There is no doubting the ^act that it has a stranglehold on the people of the south. A man says "I am a Democrat.", He Is asked, "Why are you a Demo- ' crat?" His reply is "Because my , father, his father and all the fathers of my people as far back as I can , go were Democrats." , It is all right to be a Democrat. The holding together of the Democratic. party is the only hope of the nation, but a i an should be a Dem- ; ocrat because he believes in the prln- ' ciples of Democracy ami not because his ancestors were Democrats. If < lie believes in Democratic principles 1 and votes the republican ticket because his fathers were republicans lie ( is not true to himself or his country.1; And the same rule holds good in the business and industrial world. There is no wisdom in following the one crop system simply because one's father and grandfather followed it. The grandfather might have been a success, uui n?i maac cotton with slave labor; tho father, too, might have been a success, but he made cotton under conditions altogther different from those that exist today. If father and grandfather were farming today the chances are they would fail. All of which leads up to the sub-] ject we have in mind: In last week's Herald we carried an article from the News and Courier which told of a shipment of 600 pounds of Georgia raised Porto Rico yams to Liverpool, Jiow readily tney sold on the Liverpool market and the plans that are under way to "make further expert-; mental studies of the transatlantic shipment of this commodity." Here is the beginning probably of a world-wide industry that will make many millionaires in the next quarter of a century. The results of this European experiment are well worth watching. It should be of particular Interest to young men just enteringi th0 business world. , But of more interest to the people J of Dillon county Is the announcement of the local potato storage ware.' ouse guaranteeing a minimum price f 60 cents a bushel for sweet potass. Any farmer knows that an acre round will produce from 100 to ' bushels of sweet potatoes. He It - the cost of production Is low ?tV '?n one-hef the cost of producing yo?t^i of Unt cotton, rn out has fine cotton lands ^, are In the state? THE DILLON but the average production per acre is only 323 pounds of lint cotton which sells at an average of ten cents a pound. i We e?vy the man in South America who digs up a shovel full of dirt and washes out two or three precious stones, but every acre of land in Dil-j lcn county is a diamond mine?if wej only knew it. j We leave it to any 3rd grade school boy in the county to figure out which is the most profitable?potatoes or cotton.

There was about fifty citizens, present, representing the buyers of this place, most of the business men,' and probably half the number being farmers who live here and nrakc tobacco. The buyers present pledged | themselves to pay as high for tobacco as they are allowed to pay, stating that they believe their limits to be as good as any in this section. The farmers on their part pledging themselves to give this market a fair trial by bringing a load of good tobacco at once, being the judges themselves ( as to whether this market is as good! as some others claim to be. All present have agreed to speak a good word for this market, instead of kicking 11 us some nave Deen doing.
