Fffjri f- < ?hi? 2illdn ^rralii Ju D. JORDAN Editor ?VB8CKlPTIO.\ 9S.OO Per Yr. Dillon, S. Cs September IS, 1921. This is not even a speculator's market?it is a gambler's market. A JLee county farmer says he has found an absolutely reliable remedy #or the boll weevil?no cotton in 1922. If a seven million bale crop this ryear brings 20 cents a pound a five million bale crop next year will bring 50 cents a pound. Which crop will be Ahe most profitable? Thirty thousand bales?that will be Dillon's crop in spite of the boll weevi 1 nrH u/at wnniKor > * ' ? ?~ .. nvatuci ai ?u lenu a pound means three million dollars. JLdd to that three quarters ot a million from the tobacco crop and you have nearly four times aa much as the nine banks of the county owe to outaide banks. The county is a long ways from the poor house. If a fourteen million bale crop would have brought 10 cents a pound why shouldn't a seven million bale -crop bring 20 cents? Ten cents a pound would have been less than the pie-war average, yet there are men of intelligence who will argue that 15 cents a pound is a fair price for .the 1921 crop. One of the painful recollections of erstwhile prosperous times is the memory of the smooth-tongued stock salesman who exchanged stocks of ^questionable value for good U. S. currency and then departed for fields anew and pastures green. Since the <iecline in the nrice of cotton tho ?tn<>v salesman has been conspicuous by his absence, but.it cotton should go to 30 ??r 40 -cents a pound he will make his reappearance over-night. The stock salesman, like the circus, does not attempt to operate where there is not much money In circulation. Jobless men stripped to the waist aftood on the auction block in Boston bat -week, after the custom of the eld slave auctions, and offered their mar rices to the highest bidder. In JTraace. which bore the brunt of the war, leas than 1 per cent of the poptflSHoa 1? out of employment while tn the United States, where Industries ran to capacity and made millions in profits, seven million men -are idle. In the meantime the presi?deat plays golf while congress occupies itself making a high tariff law which will add to the burdens of the unemployed. There are times when a -man's country makes it exceedingly hard for ihlm to be patriotic. ? r ? We listened closely to Mr. Carl Williams' talk at the court house Saturday afternoon and so far as we; -are able to see there are no objection-j aide features to the cooperative mar-1 keting plan a9 he explained it. On' .the other hand the plan has many ex-j eel lent features. It is admitted on every hand that cotton will sell ?t a higher price when offered in big lots, and this method of marketing seems to be the leading feature of the cooperative marketing plan. When the /producer surrenders his cotton to the iWBocrauon ita control passes out of i his frauds and the price at which it j ahull be sold is optional with the, association, but it has been shown| that the assodatioa alwaya sells at a! price slightly above the market and' therefore the producer runs no risk.| There is no questioning the fact that it la the best way to sell cotton and use believe that all cotton placed with Oe association will be handled to the feast advantage to the producer. 1 Statement of the Condition of "THE UNION BANK * TRUST CO.
