W. M. HAMER
Man Who Evolved and Put Into
Practice the Plan of the Cotton Mills
Buying Direct From the Planter
MR. W. M. HAMER.
1 I
Several years ago an enterprising
nMrohant-farmer in a small Eastern
Carolina town slipped away to Liver
pool and bad a quiet conference with
the president of a large cotton man
ifl?turlng establishment. When the
norchant-farmer returned home he
MMblted to hia fellow merchants and
farmers a contract, whereby he was
W pumlaae cotton on his local mar
ket ship It to the nearest compress
in4 then bill it direct to the European
Wttsfacturer. It was the first time
to the history of the ' cotton industry
that a European manufacturer and a
losei cotton buyer had been brought
tefether. It was the first attempt that
had ever been made to eliminate the
iplddle-men in the handling of the
woild's greatest crop. In that contract
the European manufacturers and the
American producer had been brought
eloeer together than ever before In
the history of the cotton industry.
Able lawyers who ptassed upon the
provisions of the contract said that it
frsnted an equal measure of protec
tion to both buyer and seller. Finan
ciers who looked it over said it was
ths beginning Qf a new and better
era In the handling of the cotton crop,
h? that It brought the Southern cotton
flsld to the threshhold of the European
?pinning room. But the Fates so will*
..,?4 It that before the plan could be
P?t Into practical operation death
?tiled the heart and band of this far
ing merchant and farmer, and that
ooctract which no dotabt would have
?**nt uo much to Southern ootton
Planters became an inactlre aeeet of
* IKlgated estate.
But the germ of the'. Idea did not
die with this enterprising merchant
hrmer ; it found lodgment In the fer
tile brain of a young cotton manufac
turer or the Pee Dee section. "If the
?t*opoan manufacturer sees an ad
vantage in getting closer to the pro
duoer why not get closer to him my
??If?" reasoned this young manufac
turer. "Why not buy my cotton direct
iustead of through the broker, and
divide the commission vfrith the farm
?r*' Thereupon he went upon the
loss J cotton market In competition
*lth buyers for brokers and export
and th? price of cotton advanced
n*arly fifty points the first day on
strength of his buying. He con
tlan#d the fight throughout the sea
?oo. bought every bate of ootton his
needed first hand from the farm
w sod not only saved money for him
but edded thousands of dollars
to the wealth of the farmers of his
?*tlre county. That man wa? W. M.
?*?er. for years president of the Dil
lon. Hamer and Maple Cotton Mills,
st present a candidate for lleu
t*e*nt governor of South Carolina.
jHber mjils over the state caught his
*&d that was the beginning of
?? movement that resulted In the
m,n*tion ot the middleman and the
establishment of a clover ralAthXMrtilp
between the manufacturer and the
farmer.
Mr. Hamer is a modeet men end It
is extremely difficult to |tt him to
speak of an? of his soeoe? s or
achievements in life. It *n wtth re
luctance that he oomsoUd to the ?ee
of his name i& oonneotkxa with this
article, but the only way the people
oan Judge of a man's fltaees for pub
lie offlee is by knowing whet he bee
accomplished as a private sdtisen, and
It Is nothing but fair to the people of
South Carolina and a matter of simple
justice to Mr. Hamer himself tot
these facts to be given the wldeet
publicity.
Mr. Hamer was born on the farm
and is the son of a* farmer. He is one
of four sons, all of whom ere promi
nent farmers of the Pee Dee country.
His father before him was a success
ful farmer, a wealthy man for his
day and time, and could have reared
his sons in ease and luxury, but being
a man of sound, practical Judgment
he taught his boys the art of farming
in the hard school of experience. After
graduating from the South Carolina
College Mr. Hamer went back to the
farm where he oomblned his techni
cal knowledge with practical experi
ence, and made his lands produce
abundantly. When still a young man
his extraordinary businc?* talent at
tracted the attention of men of capi- !
tal and he was called from the farai
to the management of a cotton mill. So
greet was his success as a mill men
that it was only a short time before
he began the erection of another mill,
and later acquired the Hamer Cotton
Mills, all three being consolidated un
der the name of the Dillon MUls.
Mr. Hamer ii not a politician; he
is a plain, practical business man who
seeks public office because he believes
he can be of some service to his fel*
lowman. Having been raised on the
farm and knowing how to sympathise
with the tillers of the soil, he thinks
the government should assist agricul
ture, the source of all wealth, as
much as possible, while he strongly
advocates an eaultable distribution of
taxes, "placing the burdens on those
most able to bear theqi, and who en
Joy most the benefits of government."
Mr. Hamer is endorsed in writing
by every officer in Dillon and Marl
boro counties.
By the farmers for services already
rendered.
By the merchants of Dillon and
Bennettsvllls for his progressive bus
iness methods.
By the bankers of both Marlboro
and Dillon for his integrity and busV
ness ability.
By his former mill operatives for
his kindness and friendship. I
