Coppedge was destroyed by fire at an early hour Friday morning. The fire caught from a lamp which had been burning during the night, as one of the children was sick and Mr. and Mrs. Coppedge |had been up with it during the night. The family was asleep at the time and awoke to find "the house in flames. They barely had time to gather a few wraps and escape from the burning building. The house which belonged to Mr. T. A. Dillon was in sured, but there was no insurance on the furniture which was a total loss. Secretary B. L. Stanton of the Marlboro County Fair Association phoned The Herald Tuesday that a report had been circulated that the Marlboro Fair which will be held November 2. 3 and 4, had been called off on account of an epidemic. Mr. Stanton says this is a false rumor and the Fair will be held next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday without fail. There is not an epidemic of any kind in Bennettsville or anywhere in Marlboro county for that matter and the report is a fabrication of the whole cloth. Messrs. McWhorter and Boswell, succeeded in disposing of the most of| the fine herd of Herefords theyl brought tip from Siloam, Ga., and re-J turned home yesterday. Mr. McWhorter. in talking with a Herald! man, said he had never mot a finer, class of people and he enjoyed hisi stay in Dillon immensely, Mr. Me-; Whorter, although a large farmer.' has 300 head of Herefords and it is Mn J- ?> *?

Mr. Boswell was pleased with his trip to Dillon also and it is his intention to keep in touch with the! peple of Dillon county. Mr. Doswell has been in the cattle business all his life and the boll weevil did not do. him much damage. He plants very lit-j tie cotton, but in addition to his cat-, tie, he makes lots of Georgia cane, syrup of a very fine quality and raises [hogs and peanuts. Both Mr. Boswell j and Mr. McWhorter urge The Herald to advise the people to plant only a; limited amount of cotton next year and raise lots of food and foodstuffs. During the fair last week Mr. J.

Frank Boyer of Norrlstown, Pa., for 91200. The! .gentleman who purchased this horse was the same one that Mr. Gibson sold the fast trotter Hal Boy to last jMay. It is a singular coincidence that during the past five months Mr. Gibson has sold two horses to Mr. Boyer for the aggregate price of $3,700, and both of these horses were formerly plow horses on farms in ! Dillon county. The trotter Hal Boy , was secure,] by Mr. Gibson from Heslekiah Mcltae, a colored man near i Little Hock, who plowed him for nearly two years on the farm. The | pacing mare "My Adeline" was secured by Mr. Gibson from Tracy Tur-j beville who works on the Dillon conn-; | ty poor farm, and this little mare plowed all of last winter and spring and never saw a race track until May of this year when Mr. Gibson effected I, her purchase and started her train-! ing. The horse Hal Boy has proved to be a winner and his owner thinks , well of him. He has won eight out of ' J his last eleven starts in the north. o , During last week one day. while the American Cotton Oil Co's. gins were being operated, a negro. Earl Bethea. about 2F> venrs old u-hn wn* assisting in operating the machinery, ! vas struck in the eye by a buckle from a belt which had broken while the machinery was running, which ] knocked his eve out. He was immediately carriej to the Florence In- | fimarv where medical aid was given, but to no avail, as his eye is entirely gone. ! | o I X Correction. Editor Dillon Herald: Correction of item in r? cards to National Guard Company in Dillon Herald dated 0<i. 13th. 1921. Some one who is interested in our local company of the National Guards' had a short piece in The Herald of Oct. 19th in regards to the marked improvement that the company was showing and also that Weatherly lie then of Clio was assisting the Com manditig Officer with his work drill ing the company on Tin day night Sgt. Rethea is a member of onr local company and it is part of every man's duties t'? assist in the drilling of the Company.

I Mr. Hedges Says <oxl-Kent*ing People Must Come to State's llcseue. j Editor Dillon Herald: My fellow farmers of South Carolina, do you possibly realize the burdens of responsibility that we are face to face with for the next year and for years to come? Shall we meet mem as orave men uiuli-r the leadership of tin- great God of nations or j shall we become disgruntled. dis-( t*ou raged. demoralized and give up and surrender to evil forces and in fluences? ! don't believe a word of it. Such is not the history of our! people. It seems that in every grave and disastrous crisis tbat the farmer is the under-dog and is the great beater, lb has toiled like a slave, has had to stint his women and children almost to tie- s'arvation point an?| in a great man> instances his child:-r have |>een reared io gross ignorance. Nil greater sacrifices wi re v. r mad' by the Serfs of Russia than by out farm women and children, and yet a individuals without organization we have achieved wonders Aft? r every disaster we have come back and gone to height- never dreamed of. but to say that the agrboitural people of this st;it- are satisfied with tln-jr condition would be stating an tin truth: so my fellow farmer herein lies! our great responsibility. We are fac< to face wjth an economic breakdown.! mill ui?' 01 tin* are turned towards flic till or nf ilio soil. Tit" farmer today is regarded as tie' bulwark of the state as has always beetij the ease; but he is without the sytn-i pathy ait,] appreoiation thai h<- houldj have and this is beerattse lie has faib d to organize and demand his Depar ung Men and customs e Boys wool two to $20, now sellii Women's canton < in the very lates Women's kid t\\ ford, and brown authentic lasts a vet untrin i DEPJ and Best S f OCTOBKR arr, 1991. rights. The scheming politician does j not want the farmers organized in the | farmer's behalf but if he can get the farmer torn to pieces to further his cause he is satisfied. No doubt the farming class has been frightfully discriminate^ against in taxation. There comes a time when everything the farmer produces fails to make him any profit and there is nothing with which to pay taxes with; yet a great proportion of the profit producing class escapes taxes entirely but llie fanner never escapes his. The question that the farmers have got to a>k themselves is, can and will th>* old line politician whether in the General Assembly or as Governor make any utiempt to change these condition.? 1 think not; hence the imperative necessity of cleaning out tie old liners and putting in a farmer for Governor and a General Assembly of farmers an<| business men; v h > would give the people a just end fair deal, without strife and disgraceful contention :i? -o ized political affairs in South Cam Una before. Wo can moasuro tho responsibility of tho old and staid farmer as front] day to day ho goes over tho hills and through tho valloys communing with1 Nature's God? Our minds look over into next year's campaign and wo shudder, we stand aghast, our blood runs cold;! because We See the vib demagogue politician with the tongue ol a serpent, with lying clamler upon his lips sowing discord, enmity and hatred all over South Carolina a devil incarnate. We see evidence of a strong probability of dragging the prohibition or liquoi question into the next campaign.
