Dillon, H. C., September 29, 1921
DuPont, the powder manufacturer,
favors disarmament, but we haven't
fa6ard from Judge Gary and Mr.
Schawb, the Bteel manufacturers.
The government is too poor to pay
a soldier's bonus, and while u worldwide
disarmament conference as getting
ready to meet in Washington
costly experiments to make warfare
more deadly are being made by destroying
battleships with aerial
bombs, In the meantime the jobless
ox-service man suffers and the tax
payers continue to foot the bills. We
are not getiiiig back to normalcy very
fast.
The editor of the Statesville, (N.
C.) Landmark is protesting against
. the use of the phrase "cut hunting,"]
claiming that the word "out" is superflous,
as people do not hunt in
doors. But that is where our friend
Is mistaken. A few niehts aeo one of
our friends hunted the house over
from garret to cellar. He pushed
tables aside, turned furniture upside
down, crawled to the top of pantrys
and closets, and swung over dusty
rafters but the bottle could not be
found. There is lots of hunting In-1
Side the house these days?when
madam is away. The Landmark editor
lives in Western North Carolina
where such effort is not necessary.
The Pullman company is complaining
because its expenses were nearlv
three and a half million dollars in
excess of its revenues last year. The
Pullman company got its death blow
when foolish law-makers levied a surtax
of 50 per cent on Pullman fares
for the benefit of the railroads. The
remit was that erstwhile Pullman patrons
found it profitable to sit up all
night and sleep the next day, and
travel on Pullman cars diminished to
an alarming extent. But if the Pullman
company lost only three and a
half millions last year, after turning
60 pel cent of it gross revenues over
to the pov efly -stricken railroads, it
would be interesting to knov. how
much the Pullman company made before
it was required to come across
with half of its gross income?
J. K. Brewer brings to The Herald
office concrete evidence of the destructive
powers of the boll weevil in
the form of a cotton stalk six feet
high and well limbed which shows
only one boll of cotton. The stalk was
taken from a field near Hemingway,
S. C., which last year made a bale
to the acre. If the stalk had carried
as much fruit as it could have held it
would have been good for a yield of
more than a bale to the acre. Dillon
county's only hope is to build grain
elevators and potato curing houses
and plant enough grain and potatoes
to take the place of cotton. A quarter
of a million of dollars invested in elevatnru
onH nntaf a Anrin<* k/M?cA? WS11
take care of more than two million!
dollars worth of grain and potatoes,
which represents the annual average
value of the cotton crop for the past
ten years. This must be done through
co-operation between farmer,' merchant
and banker. It is up to Dillon
county to take care of herself. Other
counties are going to look out for
themselves, and if we sit down and
make no effort to combat the boll
weevil disaster is bound to overtake
us.
PREPARE FOR THE BOLL WEEVIE?IN
TIMES OF PROSPERITY.
What are we going to do about it?
Every man you meet will agree with
you that it will be financial suicide
t> plant a normal crop of cotton next
year, but there the argument ends.
nillnn ia on o crrlnnltnrol
da^-aaawM IV t?|l iVUI VU1 Ul VUU 11 X.J , (lllVi
If we do not plant cotton we must
plant something else.
But it will be financial suicide to
plant other crops and not provide a
market for them. What will the county
do with a surplus grain or potato
crop? If there are no elevators weevils
and bugs will destroy the grain and
if there are no potato curing houses
the potato crop will rot, and so there
you are.
But the situation, as we see it, is
in the hands of the people of the
county. They have the privilege of
continuing to plant cotton and go
bankrupt or plant other crops and
continue to make the lands wealthproducing.
For the past ten years the gross
revenue from the county's cotton crop
has averaged $2,000,000 per year.
This has been our leading money
crop. If we are to continue to prosper
we must plant other 'crops that will
produce on an average of $2,000,000
each year to take the place of the revenue
from cotton. But in order to do
this we must provide a market for
these other crops.
It has been estimated that it will
thke $200,000 to build a sufficient'
number of elevators to take care of
1,200,000 bushels of grain which at|
an average price of $ 1 per bushel
would amount to little more than half
the value of our cotton crop. It is also
estimated that $100,000 will buildsauugh
potato curing houses to tfcke
data of a million bushels of pota
MIlM bhahols of potato? aad ,
tmm wii<m
twelve hundred thousand bushels of
corn will hare the same money value
as our entire cotton crop; and if we
make provision for the growing and
marketing of grain and potatoes to
the value of two million dollars we
cail cut cotton out indefinitely and the
county will not feel a jar.
This can be done through organization.
If we would get together, divide
the county into districts and
work the campaign as thoroughly and
as systematically as Red Cross and
Liberty Bond drives were worked
during the war, not only will it be as
easy matter to get pledg- s from farmers
to plant grain and food crops
to the value of two million dollars or
more, but they would show a willingness
to put up their pro rata share
of the capital necessary to build potato
storage houses and grain elevators.
Now is the time to begin the drive.
Fortune has smiled on Dillon county
this year. The people have made good
crops for which they will receive fair
prices. There will be some surplus
money and if we are a wise people
we will use that money in preparing
for the boll weevil in these piping
times of prosperity.

Utile ltock School News.
The Little Rock?Graded School is
this week closing its first month of
the present school session. Everything
has beeen running smoothly, and the
prospects now are for a very successful
year. An entire new corps of teachers
have charge of the school this
year. However, all seem quite competent
and capable. Mr. C. B. Allen of
Latta is principal; he has as his assistants
Misses Sarah Bethea of Latta
and Charlton John of Bennettsville
and Mrs. E. P. Hayes of Little
Rock.
x ne enrollment on the opening day
of school 'and the high average at
tendance during the month are very
gratifying. It is hoped, however, that
the enrollment will be still greater in
the near future.
Several practical courses are being
offered in the school this year. Sewing
classes have been organized for all
of the girls above the twelfth year.
The boys above this age are being
given a course in agriculture. Mr.
Ayers, teacher of Agriculture in the
Dillon High School, is conducting this
class on Wednesday afternoons.
Tbe students of the higher grades
have organized themselves into a literary
society, which will, no doubt,
prove a valuable asset in tpaphine
them some of the elements of public
speaking. The teachers will assist in
arranging the programs, but will not
interfere further than to insure good
work on the part of the students. In
organizing a few days ago, the society
elected the following officers:
I J. E. James President
1 Gertrude McColl V.-President
Loise Wallace Secretary
Kellar Brltt Treasurer
! Rev. J. A. Langley, pastor of the
I Little Rock Baptist church conducted
chapel for us a few days ago. He
made some very helpful remarks and
ii is hoped he will visit us again. It
, is the purpose of the principal to have
talks by all of the local pastors and
probably several outsiders during the
course of the vear.

I i.a.Ti r i luav nigm a meeting in the
interest of the co-operative marketing
J of cotton was held at Oak Grove
school building. County demonstration
Agent S. W. Epps of Latta, presided
and Senator P. L. Bethea of
Minturn and W. H. Smith, president
of the Bank of Latta, made excellent
talks fully out 'lining and explaining
the co-operative marketing plan.
These talks were listened to with
considerable interest by a number of
farmers present.
' There is no doubt but that this i?
the best solution of the marketing of
cottton that has ever been brought
to the attention of the cotton grower
and will enable the farmr to market
his cotton to far better advantage in
the future than any other system
that has ever been tried.
I The Oak Grove school opens Monday
October the third. The school this
year will be under the management
of J. S. Fair as principal, Miss Emma1
Bass of Latta, intermediate depart-J
ment and Miss Margaret Calais of
Florence, in charge of the primary
grades. A fourth teacher may be added
later in the session.
The compulsory attendance begins
November the first.
H. T. Hartley and B. Brigman
went to Dillon Saturday morning on
business.
Emanuel Wise, a former student of
the Oak Grove school leaves next Friday
for Clemson' College to begin
work in the one year short course in
agriculture having won a scholarship
In a competitive examination held at.
Dillon last July. I
Mr. Tracey E. Fore recently lost
a tenant house by fire an his Browns I
Creek plantation. |
The fhrmera<of this section are mak-,
ing rapid progress gathering their |
cotton J The yield generally will be
short, but the good prices have
brought a better feeling to the peo-'
pie.
From the present outlook the acreage
next year in this section will
bo far below what it is this year. The,
farmers realise that the boll weevil is
here and will take small risk in the1
production of cotton next season.
The Improvement Club Meets.
The Improvement Club held its
regular meeting for September and
the president, Mrs. L. C. Braddy, presided.
A reception for the teachers was
discussed and decided upon, this to be.
held the. first Friday night in October"
The president has named the follow-,
ing social committee to have charge.
of reception arrangements: Mes-j

The Club has been asked to as-'

will do all possible to aid this cause
for the 'educational uplift of the

The School Lunch?The import-,
ance of the mid-day meal for the
'growing child is often neglected, par-|
'ricularly during school time. It should ]
|not be forgotten that as a rule, the,
I lunch which the child takes at school
is the big meal of the day, therefore,]
'should be sufficient in quantity,]
wholesome and made up of the foods
required by the growing body.'
Growing children need good wholesome
foods because new tissue is be-(
iiiiK maae, mey iane a great deal or|
exercise, and the tax of study in-:
I creases their food requirements. They'
,ueed simple foods easily digested ?'
such as milk and milk products,
, meats as beef, fish and chicken, veg-'
ietables, fruits and cereals,
i To summarize (he planning andj
preparation of the school lunch:'
I It should be planned* so as to be,
{satisfying and nutritious, but not1
:heavy (heavy lunches cause sluggish-1
iness.)
In packing the lunch the containerj
lis most important. It should be one
Uhat is easily cleaned and properly
!ventilated. Paper .napkins should,
when possible, be provided. Each
sandwich should be wrapped in oiled
A3' lkirnffin no nor For nnri?vin? r\9
| " ?'" ?**? * v. vuii jw'f,
such foods as salads, etc., small jel-,
ly glasses or custard cups are very,
nice. The attractiveness of the lunch;
has much to do with the taste of the
ifood which it contains. When possi-J
, ble, the ideal way is to have one hot]
dish or drink to accompany the home,
packed lunch. This is of course pre-,
.pared at school.
' The following are a few examples
of well planned lunches:
Two chicken sandwiches.
| Small container of potato salad.
| 1 apple.
I 1-2 pint sweet milk,
i Small piece peanut brittle.

J Two cheese and pimento sandwiches
I Small container baked beans.

i 1 cup cake.
I 1 orange.
' 4: ?
Two cottage cheese and nut sandwiches.
'
i Celery or cold slaw.
Baked cup custard.
Two gpgar cakes.
o
Apples to Eighty Countries.
American apples are shipped to
eighty different countries and are'
said to reach all parts of the world. ]
o
Horseless Cars in 1899.
In 1899 the manufacture of horseless
cars was first listed in the United
States census reports. In less than,
twenty-five years the number of cars(
in operation in the United States has
jadvanced from thirty-seven hundred
, to seven million. '

Twelve million children lost one or.
