November :{. 1021. \ * In his tight against the forces of uuture ninn li;i? > fomxiJ-v-i- A u lunuiuauic JPII'UIIent( but every now and then p .Is resourcefulness brings hiin ouf n top. The drought lias dried up th^ .reams, and cottou mills in the two* irolinas using water power have liao to closei down. Water is plentiful in Alabamal and they have connected up with Alabama transmission lines and are operating Carolina mills at night with Alabama current. A few hundred years from now it will h<> nnssthio ?>*' -- ? vw, operate industries in China with eloc-; trie current generated in America. ! Better be careful how you invest in foreign money. Printing presses in! many foreign countries are running' over-time printing currency and brokers are selling the now almost worthless paper in this country at a| profit. It is claimed that Germany has! sold enough marks in this country to! make the first payment on its debt, to the allies. The German mark is going down every day, and at the present rate the mark is being turned out by printing presses the great-greatgreat children of the present generation may realize something on it, provided the mark conies back. If you have money to invest in foreign seciiritips nnt i? itl mnnl/iinol t. ? v. i, 111 itiuinvi^'U i uunun secured by real estate. There you have a chance. The town of Luhi, irton passed an ordinance requiring automobile drivers to pay a license fee of ?5. Certain 1 citizens objected and the matter went; to the courts. The supremo court has' decided that the town had a ri~ht to collect the license, and now not only: are all drivers of automobiles requir-' oil to pay the $o but they must stand an examination before they can ?;*>t a license. The law adds to the < ost of j operating the ulnau^ h< nvii> taxed automobile, but it is a good law. in that it is a protection to the public. Automobiles are dangerous vehicles and everybody should not he allow* d to drive them. The person who does not regard the automobile as a dangerous vehicle is the vorv i nrenn t should not bo allowed to drive one. Many states have laws which prohibit children of certain ages from driving automobiles, but the laws are not en-i forced. The Lumberton law enforces itself automatically. We don't understand that section of the Volstead law which gives the representative of a foreign country the right to bring whisky into this country. The Volstead act. makes it unlawful for a person ?o transport whisky and a law that gives any person a special privilege is not a good law. There is a law against murder, | arson, burglary and numerous other| forms of crime, but there is no provision in the laws against these crimes which gives the representative of any foreign nation the right to come over here and violate them with impunity. That is one of the provisions in the Volstead act which brings it into disrepute. A law that does not apply to all persons under all circumstances will not have the support of public sentiment, and a law that does not have the support of public sentiment is a hard law to enforce. When Marshal Foch declrfred that he would not exercise his privilege and bring whisky to America for personal use he showed that he was a bigger man than the framers of the Volstead art. LACK OF APPRENTICES. The lack of apprentices in some trades is remarkable and there is no reason to believe that there will be much of an improvement in the near future. This is particularly true of the printing business, and this condition is partly due to the rules of the unions. For so many printers, so many apprentices, and that is all there is to it. There are somewhat more apprentices in the country shops where the unions are not strong, but even in country shops the number of apprentices is below the averages of former years. It seoms that few boys nowadays want to learn a trade that because it i3 a good trade, does not yield large wages at the start, or during the years of apprenticeship. Because of N too much education, or misapplied education, too many boys nowadays want trt atart in "HUn a mon " of them show signs of trying to start at tho top and working their way down instead of at the bottom and working their way up. To learn a trade formerly was a laudable ambition of the average American youth. No\V they try every thing else but a trade. The printing industry is only one of many that suffers from this condition. Mr. John Shooter, of Route 1, Nichols, writes the editor of The Herald a letter in which he asks if i something can't be done to improve Dillon county's roeds. Mr. Shooter > says our roads are "a disgrace to a 1 prosperous county like Dillon." He 1 suggests as a remedy for these con- ^ c s ditions that we levy a road tax of 110 or require each person liable toL road duty to work two days on the , I ^ \ * THE DILLON public roads. There are two bis i problems South Carolina must solve ?one is the tax problem and the ' other is the road problem. Dillon county cannot solve its tax problem without the help of the other counties in the state. The tax law must ( be general in its application, and re-|. lief must come in t*he form of state-', wide legislation which will equalizeji the tax burden by making invisible 11 property bear its just proportion of;1 taxes. The road problem is more of; a local problem. Each county ha.- the ; right to make its own road laws, but 1 after all the question of good roads' ?? largely one of taxation. If a coun-i, ty is willing to pay the price it can1, have good roads. Dillon is making '| progress in good roads construction.!. A highway is being built from ?li?>1, Marion county line to the Marlboro'< county line, but this is only a begin-|: ning. Good roads are needed from Lake View and Fork to the county; seat and to the North Carolina line toward Rowland. It will cost lots of,1 money to build these roads, but the 1 county will have to devise some plan by which it can be done. We do not , believe a tax of $10 or the alternative of two day's work will do it. Too , many men liable to road duty would 1 give the work in lieu of the money,\ and it Is an exceptional man who 1 could give $5 worth of work on a,1 public road in a day. Ten dollars or J1 ten day's work would be better. "HOG KILLING TIME" NEAR. Important Points in Butchering Outlined. i Clemson College, Oct. 31. ?Along with I li?> fire? ??l'l "" " IVIU JJI>1 || 1'Ullll' thoughts of butchering time. It is still too early to do this winter job but we can begin right now to think of how we will handle our hogs this year. Nine important steps in killing hogs which make the work easier and produce better pork are suggested by D. T. Horrntan, extension swine specialist. 1. Select only those hogs which are in good health and are gaining in flesh. Hogs which are losing flesh make poor meat. The weight and condition at which to kill depends on whether you prefer large or small cuts oL pork and whether you want a fat or a lean carcass. Most farmers kill heavy fat hogs, but the ' packers put a premium on hogs in medium flesh, weighing around 200 ' to 225 pounds. 2. Keep the hogs off feed for at' least 24 hours before killing and keep them quiet but provide them with all ' the water they will drink. This clears the system of food, facilitates ' bleeding, and lessens some danger ( in cleaning. Hogs that are excited!; before killing dress out a dark red carcass, and if they are whipped or bruised in any way the bruised spots must be trimmed out. 3. In slicking avoid slicking the1' shoulder, for this causes the blood to dot and means a waste in trimming. Place the hog flat on his back, make, a longitudinal incision in the neck in-1 sert the knife 3 or 4 inches, with the cutting edge towards the breast bone, raise the point of the knife up ^ against the breast bone and with- ? draw. Then lay the hog 011 his side ' to bleed out. Do not drag the car- 1 cass over the ground as this bruises ' the meat. 4. Scald 1 1-2 to 2 minutes with 1 water 145 to 1G0 degrees Fahren- : licit. Water hotter than this makes 1 the hair set if the hog is left in the water more than one minute. Water;' much cooler than this requires too much soaking to loosen the hairs.) If you have no thermometer, stick ' your finger into the water three! times in rapid succession. If the1 third time is a little too hot for com-i; fort the water is about right. Re-1 move the hair from the legs, ears and'1 head first as these cool most rapidly.! A teaspoonful of lye or a small shovel-j ful of wood ashes to 30 gallons of] water will help loosen the scurf. Re-< move as much hair as possible with' the scraper because all hair that is shaved off will stand out when the! perk is cured. 5. In removing the intestines use| the left hand inserted between the : intestines and the meat to guide the! knife and keep the intestines from! being cut. 6. Wash the eavcass thoroughly I1 both inside and out. ' 7. Either 'remove the leaf fat entirely or loosen it and allow it to : hrng by the upjjer end. This facilitates cooling. 8. Split the carcass down the middle of the backbone ? not on 1 either side as is often done, for this ' is a needless waste ? and on down through the head. In the South It 1 is a common practice to cut the 1 flanks away from the hams, but in 1 doing this care must be taken not to cut into the ham. These practices | hasten thorough cooling. f). Never cut up the carcass until ' it lias had time to cool thoroughly. o CANT BEAT BOM* WEEVIL. , / I Dillon Man. Now <?eorgia Itesident, ] Says He Will (irt lTs. t f Dillon Herald:? { I notice your comment in last weeks ] issue of The Herald on a Mr. Horn t who lives in the Kentyre section. This i Mr. Horn has purchased an extra tract of land and to sum it all up is ( a very successful farmer. I note also i that this Mr. Horn does not fear the < boll weevil; that he expects to work eoon and late and grow cotton in spite s of the weevil. s I was In Dillon a few days ago and In conversation with some men over t the situation confronting that section. Mr. Harrell said that he would grow :otton any'way and seemed to take l HEIIALD. DILX.O.V SOUTH CAROL ill this tulk as a joke. Now I know this Mr. Horn and the Mr. Harrell also, and I can not say just how active or what part the weevil will take in destroying the growing of cotton in Dillon county Mid I only can judge from this and 3ther sections where 1 have lived, tmd the indications now are that your section will receive the same treatment that the counties and states have experienced with this pest west uf you. Now 1 want to say to this Mr. Horn tnd the Mr. Harrell that t? n thou-and men who had good homes and no debts are now homeless and penniless trying to grow cotton wh?T<* the boll weevil existed. and refused to accept tie warning. There are on<- hundred thousand dollars reward offered for the man that can find a plan whereby t ot ton can be grown successfullv tin uer boll weev'i conditions. I cannot say, but I hop? tbe weevil will not be as sever*1 in your territory as he is l;? re where the warm' season is much longer and the winter months are not so cold, but let me relieve my conscience once for all. when I tell my home county friends to contract 110 debts to be paid with cotton the coming year. Whatever you do, don't promise any one to pay him from your cotton crop, and all those who refuse to hoed the warning will pay for a dear experience, that is if the bug opt rates there, as he uas in this and other communities. Do not accept any one's advice when they tell you to poison the weevil or offer to sell you some new invention that has been found to destroy the weevil. The state College and national government tave spent and are spending on< rtnous sums of money trying to dispel this dreaded pest, and will give the remedy their endorsement when proven to be successful, but up to date there is no plan approved or remedy recommended. If Dillon county can plant cotton early, grow it quickly, and it' Mm- Irujting season happens to be very dry months you will probably make fifty percent or two thirds of a normal crop, but on ihe other hand if it be a wet season at fruiting time and lb n.

You meditate: "What is it all lbout, 'this thing we call life? What is man? What am I? What is my present existence here on earth a preparation for." An answer to these questions is attempted in a new theory, the discusdon of which is engngitm the attention of many men in the scientific world. The story is called "timeIdndinu", and its author is Count Alfred Korsyhski. a Polish nobleman. ? no ' : | * ?I 111 > II 111 uijs 11'IUh, .ilillll.ood i f Humanity." Plants have only one purpose, lie rays?to take energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy. Plants can't move about. Animals eat the plants and. while they call move about in space at will, they alro are space-bound. Put man is not caged by space. He moves in time, hence lie is not timebound. That is what you do now exerts a definite influence on thing; that will happen after you are materially dead. Like Elias Hove, who by inventing the sewing machine, started something that give him tremendous influence after hi- death. No horse knows that his ancestors were as small as cats. No horse is leaking plans for the future condition of horses. That is because horses l*ke all plants and all animals, are space-bound. Pro-historic bees did their work exactly the same way as the bees of today. No expert b?e passed on to future generations any discoveries ibout how to make more honey In less tipic. Bees, like animals and like plants, are space-bound ? concerned rar.iy wun tno presem. ignorant o! tun past, oblivious to the future. Man. however, has the time-binding power which frees him from space. From the beginning he has sought, learned and passed on to posterity ways of getting greater returns In less time. Most of the material wealth now existing in the world is not~*?h< pioduct of the toil of those now living. It is a gift from the dead?and his is as true of organized society tnd efficient methods of dointr things is it is true of physicial Rifts from last Renerations?such as clearinR imber lands for farms or buildinR ailroads.' Man records history, acquires wis1cm. makes propress and creates material and spiritual wealth to be passed on to future penerations. Animals cannot do this, as Korlybsld points out. Hence, man is not tu animal. He has conquered space-bound na:ure. He has the power of fime-blndlnp ?the ability to use the present as a ine to bind the past to the future. V 1 ASIA.
