? SORTING HERNANDO WAS
' SOME "HARD-BOILED" GUY
Sfcowed Gang Who Was Boss When
fTims Came To Go, But He Saved
Enough To Get Home.
Herando Cories. the lad that took
Montezuma's marbles and his country
and his life away from him back
in the sixteenth century, was a hard
boiled guy. From the time he "crashed"
his way into his first bull fight by
carrying water for the horses, he was
always inviting Old Man. Trouble's
youngest and brightest boy out to do
tour rounds before breakfast. The
neighbors used to say: "That Hernl
Cortez is a reckless vnnnir fellur Mart
my wordH, he'll come to no good end."
Dut Hernle used to get by with it.
His motto used to be: "I don't know
where I'm goin' and I don't care when
I get back." People used to wonder
iiow he did it until they discovered
that Cortez always had an ace in the
hole. He always had something saved
ap and ready for use when necessity
demanded.
i While he was snorting around the
Carribean Sea in a steel vest and a
tin hat. he and his gang dropped into
Vera Cruz. Cortez had heard about
Montezuma and his wonderful city up
in the mountains and wanted to go.
The gang refused. "I'll show you who
is boss," said Cortez, and burned every
one of his ships as they lay on the
beach.
That left the gang no place to go but
ahead which was what Cortez wanted.
Bui he saved himself up something
kor the future. Secretly he saved every
ibit of Iron about those ships, collected
every nail from the ashes, tallowed
them and all the carpenter tools
against rust and said to the gang
" Let'B go!"
When he came back to Vera Crus,
he cashed In on his savings. He resur
rected the nails, built new ships and
took the gang and the money they had
captured back to Spain. The moral ii
that k may be all right to burn youi
chips but save the nails. The only saf<
plan for any man to follow is to hart
a reserve fund in caee of emergenciee
There Hi only one safe and sure plaz
to accomplish that. It is to save i
certain amount of money every pat
day and Invest it safely where It wil
be protected, where It will work foi
you and where you can get It whei

THE DOjLOI
PRESENTS COOPERATIVE
MARKETING PLAN.
President Williams of American Ex-'
change Addressed Dillon Farmers
Saturday.
A small but interested crowd of Dil-,
!on county farmers heard President
Williams of the American Cotton ;
Grower's Exchange explain the workings
of the Cotton Grower's Cooperative
Association Saturday afternoon
and were very much impressed by1
Mr. Williams' talk.
Mr. Williams told how the farmers
of Oklahoma had got together, pooled
their cotton and sold it at a better J
price than they were offered by broker,
manufacturer and exporter. He
begun his talk by telling ho.v the raisin
growers of California hud hank-1
rupted themselves by selling in in-:
dividual lots and then how they form-'
ed an association for the coopera-[
tive marketing of their product and
made themselves independent. Lands
Icould not be sold at a sacrifice in!
jthe Frensco raisin district, said Mr J
jWilliams, but when raisins, under the'
icooperative marketing plan, jumped j
front one and a half to seven and a
[half cents a pound the price of lands
; juini>v(i iu jiuuu au were anu were
! hard to get at that price.
Under the cooperative marketing
plan the producer signs a contract to |
! let the association sell his cotton. He
i ships his cotton to the nearest com-,
press where it is graded and the aam-1
'pie sent to the head office in Mein'phis,
Tenn. Arrangements have been
made whereby the producer can
borrow 65 per cent of the value of his
cotton the day he puts it on the cars.
The cotton in graded, numbered and
(stored. Later it is offered in lots of
!th< same grade. After deducting the
I expenses of sale a check for the net
proceeds is forwarded to the producer.
The cotton is entirely in the hands
of the association. It has the authority
to sell whenever it pleases. The
'producer has no option in the matiter.
But it has been shown that the
association always get a higher price
than is paid by the broker, manufacturer
or exporter.
The plan has the endorsement of
thousands of cotton planters large and
' small and the association is meeting
| with success. Nearly the entire cotton
crop of Oklahoma is sold under
' the cooperative marketing plan.
1 Mr. Williams says the association
r finds no difficulty in getting all the
* funds it needs to carry on the busl

COULDS'T STAMPEDE
JUDGE MEMMINGElt.
Yorkville Enquirer.
When it comes to' guiding the law
along the lines of justice, there are
none superior to Hon. R- Withers
Memminger. No other judge in the
state has presided at a larger number!
of more difficult trials?cases of the
most aggravated and unreasonable1
crime where great wealth sought toi
weigh down justice that rich and pow-j
erful malefactors might escape. It was:
because of Judge Memminger's determination
that the majesty of the law
should be upheld that W. T. Jones
was convicted of the murder of his
wife, regardless of the powerful arpar
t\f onn n eol K iro#) wiik
ey, and possibly of bribed witnesses, j
It was Judge Memminger who made
short work of that Bigham murdererj
down in Florence, and except for,
Judge Memminger there would proba-j
hly have been no conviction. That
fellow Tom Harrison, who was on
trial in Greenville last week, was
about as unspeakable a wretch as this
state 1ms known during his genera-j
tion. He was a liquor seller, a gambler,
trader in the moral degradation
of men and women. His wife was of
the same stripe. She had amassed
wealth along that line before the two
united their fortunes in marriage, and
iof course she was no truer to Harrison
than Harrison was to her. Itj
iwas during a debauch at Tom Harriison's
house that the shooting occur-!
i red. Harrison came upon Monk!
!Young, another worthy of the same'
isfripe, in companionship with Har-1
jrison's wife under conditions that j
aroused Harrison's jealously to murderous
frenzy and started him to
ishooting. Harrison's wife was killed
and Young was shot up so badly that
it was thought that he would die;
but he recovered- Common opinion in

Greenville had It that Harrison want-J1
eU to kill his wife so he could marry 1i
her younger slater, who ha<j been ed- i
ucated at his expense, and he wanted i
to kill Young so as to justify the
killing of his wife. At the trial, how- I
evef, he sought to make it appear i
that he had shot Young in protection ,
of his honor, and had shot his wife J,
by accident. It was a most noisesome^
mess. Big money had been spent of;
course, and the jury had been select- ,
ed with great care. There would have;
been a "mistrial," except for the fact |
that Judge Mewininger had made it
clear that he would hold the jury un-|
till it agreed upon a verdict. Of course;
the lawyers for the defense thought
this was "horrible." Then there was
the usual motion for a new trial,',
which motion Judge Memminger ov-.
erruled. In sentencing Harrison,'
Judge Memminger told him he had.
gotton about what was coming to.
nun, declaring mat even it fte did not
intend to kill his wife, he was guilty |
of manslaughter all the same on ac-j
count of his reckless disregard of the j
lives of the people around him. His
honor said that the killing of Monk
Young would have probably been a
good thing for the community. Also
his honor took occasion to remark
that men like Harrison might violate
the law until they had a contempt for
it. but they could rest assured that
the law would get them sooner or
later. Following notice of appeal
Harrison's attorneys sought to have
him kept in jail pending disposition
of the case by the supreme coutt;
but Judge Memminger signed an order
for his immediate transfer to
Columbia, explaining that, the case is
now out of his hands and it is up to
the supreme court to do as it sees

but in point of service he is the
oldest man on the circuit bench, and
the records show that all of his important
rulings are upheld as the best

unusually good average. The average

was 88.6. So a marked improvement

Delicious Muscadine Products.:?
Qrape Catsup.?Muscadine grape catsup
is a pleasing sauce to serve with
:old meats. It is a cheap, easily made
pioduct, and keeps well even in an
open container. It holds an important
place in muscadine grape utilization,
because it can be made from varieties
which owing to their acidity, are not
well adapted for use in other ways.
In making catsup the juicy varieties
are best, and an acid juicy variety
is to be preferred to a very sweet
one.
To make grape catsup, first weigh
and then crush the fruit. Stew the
crushed fruit over a slow fire until
soft, and then work it through a colender
with a spoon, leaving the skins
and seeds behind. To the portion
which passes through the colander,
add for each five pounds of fresh
fruit used.
2 1-2 pounds sugar.
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
1 tablespoon ground allspice.
j. luuiespuon ground cioves.
1-2 tablespoon pepper.
1-2 tablespoon salt.
1 pint vinegar.
Boil the mixture until slightly thick
and then seal it hot in sterilized bottles
or fruit jars.

1 pound sugar.
1-2 pound finely ground raisins.

hour or until the mixture is real
thick. Then stir into the mixture the

POINTS THE WAY.
The Statement of this Lntta Resident
Will Interest Our Readers.
Our neighboring town, Latta points
the way in the words of one of its
most respected residents:
Mrs. P. G. Richardson, R. P. D.
No. 3. Latta, S. C. says: "I don't
really know what caused my kidneys
to give me so much trouble some
I years ago, but I shall never forget
how I suffered. My back just seemed
to ache from morning until night antf
iit was so sore and weak that I coulfr
hardly drag one foot after the other.
I suffered like this for a long time
and the trouble became more aggravating
as the days rolled by. My mother
advised me to try Doan's Kidney
| Pills, so 1 got a supply and took them
according to dirortinna In a
j while, Dona's went down to the seat
of the trouble, strengthening my back
and kidneys and removing all the
aches and pains- Doan's made me feel
like a different woman."
