The advertising manager ?>f *h
world's largest mail order house says
hir. establishment maintains a press
clipping bureau and when a newspaper
shows that the merchants of a
town or city are not advertising they
concentrate their efforts on that particular
.town or city and always get
results. And yet there are scores of
merchants who wonder how the mail
order house manages to pull business
away from the home merchant.
The quarterly statement of the
state bank examiner, issued last
week, shows that the banks of South
Carolina have earned so far this year
a fraction more than 8 per cent on j
their ranitnl nnrl snrnliiR whlnh io nnf!
a bad showing when one takes into
consideration the fact that banks have
had to pay such excessive rates of interest
on borrowed money. The state [
ment shows a vast improvement over J
the last quarterly statement and in-,
dicates returning prosperity for South i
Carolina, at least.
The Herald, in common with manyi
Dillon county citizens, is glad the Pee1
Dee bridge matter is about to be set-|
tied. The counties of Florence and
Marlon have joined hands and will is-,
.sue bonds and build a toll bridge,
without government aid. This ia the
way the matter should have been handled
from the beginning. Florence and
Marion will derive more benefit from
the bridge than any other two coun-j
ties in the Pee Dee section, and they,
will find it a profitable investment.!
Dillon is not very much concerned. A
hrSHtro q t onr nnint Hicr Poo Hoo

from Cash way Ferry down to Brit-'
ton's Neck would have suited Dillor,
just as well. Dillon has an outlet to
the central and western part of the
state over the bridge at Cheraw and
a bridge at any point down this way,
will give us an outlet to the lower
part of the state and what more
could we wish for?
It has been two years since thej
armistice was signed but yet we have;
failed to note any decrease in the,
appeals for help from many of thej
European nations which suffered,
front the war. In fact, if we are to
believe all the reports that conte from
over the water nearly the whole <
Europe is bankrupt and there are no
signs of improvement. Relief agencies
continue to work over-time and
our wizards of finance and commerce
are still busy trying to solve foreign
problems. We think it is America's
duty to continue to give and help as
long as there is need for it, but isn't,
there a possibility that the longer
we continue to give and help the longer
it will take Europe to get on her
fe*?t ncnin 1 Thoro ia >4ani>i>p ? ? 1
too generous. Europe, it is true, suf-:;
ferej from the war, but Europe has!,
had an opportunity since the armistice .
was signed to make two crops and L
two crops ought to put any nation on'i
a self-sustaining basis. At the close,]
of the civil war the south was pros-,1
trate. There was not food enough in, 1
the south to sustain life. In additionjl
to the south's other hardships five.1
million slaves had been converted,1
from producers into consumers and '
had to be fed and clothed, but thei*
south did not call on the world for ,
help. It would have spurned an offer ,
of help from outside sources. The ,
south went to work and in a few years
it was on its feet again. It labored un-'l
der great disadvantages and hard-J i
ships, but the spirit of the southern
people could not be conquered. It appears
to us that the thing for Europe
to do is to get to work. America is,
willing to help when help is neces-j
sary. but there are times when mls-j
directed charity is likely to do more'
harm than good. j
The Herald holds no brief for or-;
ganized labor, but organize^ labor,
has a right to be heard and to strike.!
if necessary, if it feeels that it is not
getting a square deal. We do not believe
that organized labor wants
more than it feels that organized
capital is able to pay and organi-'
zed labor insists that it is not right ;
to dismiss its demands with a wave
of the hand. Orgnazed labor wants,
to know where the money goes and it
has a right to that information. Organized
capital says it is none of or-]
ganized labor's business where the,
money goes or how it is spent if the
laborer gets his pay check every Sat-j
urday night. But not only is organiz-i
ed labor entitled to know where the'
money goes but the public has the1
right to know what organized capital;
does with its surplus earnings. It,
will be a long time, perhaps, beforei
the history of big business is written.I
but some day it will be written and
the world will gasp with astonish-]
ment. Interlocking directotates have
in the past felt the restraining hand
-of the law, but the law has not yet
reached out far enough to touch the
subsidiary organizations which seems,
to be the special pets of organized
capital. It Is here that the mischief
Is done. In some cases a careful auditV
of the books of the parent corpora-',
tlon will show that the parent corpor-i
at ion is not earning its stockholders'
a legitimate profit on their Invest- \
ments, while the subsidiary organlsa-1,
tlon, controlled exclusively by a few'
TUX DELLON 1
of the majority stockholders of the
parent corporation, shows huge earn*
ings. In other words there are many
other ways of choking a cat to death
except on butter. This is what organized
labor wants to know?who's
who in the parent corporation and in
the subsidiary organization. This information
would be helpful in many
ways.

AS HE IS TODAY.

or amusement. Once a week Mr. Wilson
has a motion picture show of his
own and frequently sees the feature
film at the same time it is being
shown at the theatre downtown. Occasionally
he goes to a vaudeville
show, his party taking seats in the
last row, and entering and leaving
with every effort to avoid ostentation.
It rarely happens, however, that some
hnrtv folio /V ^ *u~ ?t-*A
?....a <.v uiovwcr iue visitors ana |
a demonstration of handclapping always
ensues.
Spends Evenings at Home. j
Evenings at home, however, are
spent in the family circle. The former1
President and Mrs. Wilson read a1
book together, or perhaps Mrs. Wil-i
son reads aloud. Some times it is one
of the detective stories of which Mr.
Wilson was said to be so fond. Theyj
do not now form as large a part ofj
his reading as may have been the
case years ago. He takes to bed early,
not to sleep, however, but to relax to
read and write. Like Mark Twain, he
does much reading and writing in
bed.
Propped up by pillows, and with a
little writing board across his knees,
he reads and makes notes, some of
them voluminous and in shorthand.
Nobody knows what they are about.
He puts them carefully away. They
are not notes for a book which many
expect.
Unless Mr. Wilson changes his
mind decidedly, he will write no reply |
to Kobert Lansing or anyone else who j
has criticise^ his policies. A writer.'
who has been given access to Mr.!
Wilson's papers, of which there arej
almost a ton, is writing a book, but'
it will be his own; not Mr. Wilson's. I
"I'll give you any material I have
for your book." Mr. Wilson told him.
"I'll answer any question you ask
but it's your book. I don't even want1
to see what you write."
However the evening may be spent i
however, tired he may be, there is one:
thing the former President never neg-l
lects. It is the reading of a few verses
of the Bible. When he says good night
he invariably reads aloud some short
passage from the book which always
rests on the reading table at his bedside.
His PliTSlcial Condition Vow
?
Friends and admirers ask, what is!
Woodrow Wilson's real condition
now?
He will be 65 years old next De-<
cember and has passed through an or-j
deal which few men survive. The I
measure of his progress towards
health must be measured with those!
facts in mind. His normal weight in i
health while he was President was
180 pounds. He shows little departure
from that figure. His eyesight is
as good, although he has discarded
his favorite nose glasses for spectacles.
His hair has turned snow
white, but it has not thinned. His
appetite is too robust to please his
physicians. Last March, when he left |
the White House with President-elect j
Harding an attendant had to place!
his feet on each succeeding step from
the portico. The other day he sent
tiis attendant away and climbed alone,
not without some effort, into his automobile,
just to see if he could do it,
and seemed pleased to find that he
could.
Motor nerves and muscles of his
left side have given more responses
to treatment than was hoped for. Of
course, they are not fully active now.
He still walks with a cane most of
the time, but frequently hangs the
crook over his arm and "goes it alone
without my third leg," as he puts it.
Far from Being Well Man.
Mr. Wilson is far from a well man
today; he was far from a well man
when he entered the White House
ever eight years ago. But during the
last two years there have been times
when his voice was inaudible and
when he could not support himself !
alone. His condition today shows morej
improvement than his family and
friends dared hope for.
There are many angles to Mr. \Vil-j
son's present-day psychology. Living
in Washington, and easy of access,
to party friends at the Capitol, hej
might give consultation on party poli-,
tics, but he does not. Whatever a,
visitor may say In criticism of the Republican
administration Mr. Wilson,
never makes a reply. He never per-'
mits anyone in his presence to speak |
what he regards as "disrespect for,
the President of the United States." j
Somebody once raised the question i
"how do our ex-Presidents live?"'
Colonel Roosevelt had a comfortable
fortune of his own augmented by Income
from writings. Mr. Taft. until
he became Chief Justice, had from
time to time profitable sources of income.
Lives Simply Vow.
Mr. Wilson brought with htm to
the White House the small savings of
a lifetime, which he preserved. During
his terms in the Presidency his
royalties from books previously written
mounted into rather handsome
sums. Singularly enough they have
shown a marked slump since he left
the White House. While he was President
circumstances helped him save
money.
The war and the suspension from
Bocial functions and entertainment
were quite an item. It has been estimated
that the former President's
pocket book was at least $25,000
richer because he was not called upon
:o wine and dine numerous dignitaries 1
ind official persons. I*
Upon his modest fortune now he'

lives simply, with an establishment
of only three servants and a "used
car."

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
MEETINGS.
Speakers Will Address the People at
Various Places this Week.
In order to bring the advantages
of the Cooperative 'Association forcibly
to the attention of the people
Senator Bethea, county chairman of
the association, has arranged for
speakers to explain the plans under
which the association operates at
various places in the 'county tonight
and tomorrow night.
Following is the schedule:
Hamer?Thursday night, October
6th. Speakers. J. W. McKay an^ R.
S. Rogers.
Lake View?Friday night, October
7ih. Speakers: R. S. Rogers and J.
W. McKay.
Bingham?Friday night, October
7th. Speakers: J. B.'Gibson and P. L.
Bethea.
Cooperative marketing is one of
the most progressive movements that
has ever been launched in the history
or the agricultural industry. It is an
otganization'in which cotton producers
pool their interests and resources
for their own mutual benefit, and
in the states tbat have tried it out
?where it is no longer an experiment?the
results have been extremely
gratifying. The association has
figures to prove that under the cooperative
marketing plan the members
of the organization have sold
cotton at a higher price than could
be obtained for the same grades under
old conditions. The association
has unlimited cash resources at its
command and is able to make liberal
advances on cottotn stored in their
warehouses. A farmer who is a member
of the association does not have
to wait for his money. He ships his
cotton, turns the bill of lading over
to his home bank and the advance
payment is turned over'to him immediately.
There is a short crop in Dillon
county, and with the boll weeevil
facine us next vear it in hiablv im.
portant that we get every dollar for
this year's crop it will bring. The
speakers will explain the plans at the
meetings to be held tonight and tomorrow
night at the places named
above. There is nothing compulsory
about the organization. Each man can
act for himself and after hearing the
plans explained a person can use his
own judgment as to whether or not
It will pay him to join Ihe association.

JON ICS CASE SCHEDULED. ?
Mrs. Lizzie Jones Cliarged With Killing
Husband.
Marion, Oct. 3?The October term
of the Court of General Sessions opened
here today, with Judge Frank
B. Gary, of Abbeville, presiding. The
heavy docket which* confronted the
court this morning was indicative of
a full week of work, but due to the
large number which pleaded guilty it
i3 believed that all these cases will be
disposed of by the middle or latter
part of the week.
Thirteen pleaded guilty today and
received sentences, ranging from four
months to two years. Two other cases
were tried, the defendants being
found guilty, thus making a total of
fifteen cases disposed of on the first
day.
The case of Mrs. Lizzie Jones and
VA, THTB8DAI, MORNING, tXTTOI
James Amnions charged with the
murder of B. Jones, the husband of
Mrs. Lizzie Jones, is scheduled for
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Jones has only
recently been brought back from Columbia
where for the past several
months she has been under observation
at the State Hospital for the Insane.
She admitted to Sheriff J.^ V.
Itowell at the time of the poisoning
that she administered the dose of
strychnine to her husband, stating
that she was incited to do so by Jas.
Amnions.
This case has attracted much interest
in this section and will undoubtedly
draw a large crowd to the
court room. The firm of MulUns &
Hughes will defend Ammons, while
W. F. Sta'ckhouse, of Marion, and B.
Norton of Mullins, will fight Mrs.
Jones' case. Solicitor L. M. Gasque
who gained such a reputation with
the Bigham case will conduct the
prosecution.
Another noteworthy case to be
tried this week is that of Walter
Crosland, negro, charged with the
murder of Lacey Nelson, negro. In
a fracas which occurred on the Marion-Mullins
road Crosland is alleged
to have cut the throat of Nelson with
a razor. This case is set for Wednesday
morning." ?

County Shows Heavy Ginnings.
According to the returns of Special (
Agent S. W. Jackson there were ginned
in the county up to September
25th, 11,881 bales as against 4,920
up to the* Bame period last year. This
is probably the heaviest ginning up
to this date in the history of the
county. The weather has been excellent
for picking and cotton has been
rushed to the gin as fast as it was
picked. It has been estimated that
Dillon county would make 30.000
bales this year, but the ginning report
lowerB this estimate and the
figures have been placed at 25,000
bales. It is said that more than half
the crop has been picked.
o
Dillon Oil Mill Leads.
Mr. W. E. Caldwell, manager of
the Dillon Oil Mill, says that up to
Saturday night, October 24th, the
Dillon Oil Mill had ginned more cotton
than any 'other oil mill in the
state owned by the Southern Oil Co.
Mr. Caldwell receives reports on ginnings
from the various oil mills in
the Southern Cotton Oil Co's. group
and the Sept. 24th report showed that
his mill had led by 200 bales.
