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

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

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.

CANT BEAT BOM* WEEVIL. ,

Dillon Man. Now <?eorgia Itesident, ]

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

WHY YOl" IJVK.
Sometimes you wonder what tH?purpose
is in making you live thi <
life. 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.

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.

Obviously, then, the function of
every man and woman ? including
yourself?is service to humanity for
the present and for all time, not!(
merely as a matter of personal oi
