the win, they were mustered out together.
receiving their honorable discharges
on the same date, April 19,
1919.
This morning, they met again on
the same courthouse lawn from which
they left a quarter of a century ago.
They glanced quickly at each other's
baggage,
"You too?"
"Yeah, and you?"
It was true they had been drafted
on the same "day for another war,
and they commented:
"We hope we ran stay together
through this one."

Dilloft's Paprika
Industry Grows
After processing and mnufacturlng
the paprika produced on a small acreage
planted In Dillon county In 1941,
the owners of the Carolina Paprika
Mills Inc., were satisfied with their
I undertaking and decided to Increase
their operations to a point where their
plant would he a factor In the supply
of paprika for domestic consumption.
Practically all of the paprika heretofore
used in this county was Imported
from Europe and with that source of
supply limited by war venditions,
these people saw an opportunity to
develop a new agricultural industry
around the plant at Dillon.
With the assistance of the agricultural
department of the Seaboard Air
Line on which the plant Is located,
an acreage campaign was undertaken
in the early spring months of 1942.
It resulted In 800 acres being contracted
In six adjacent South Carolina
counties and one In North Carolina.
Most of the acreage, the pepper
from which Is to be delivered to the
plunt for drying is planted within
a twenty mile.radius; however, a few
plantings are In sections fifty miles
away.
Jty scattering the acreage the risk
has been divided and no one local climatic
disaster can destroy the.entire
crop. The pepper seed are planted
In beds similar to tobacco beds, from
February 20 to March 1. This will
produce plants ready to be set In
the field In the mlddlo to the last of
April. The harvesting starts July 15
to 20th and continues until frost in
November.
Carolina paprika Is grown as a field
crop with the plants set twelve to
fifteen Inches In the drill in three and
one-half to four foot rows and cultivated
with the same equipment used
in the production of cotton. On good!
land properly fertilized and worked'
yields as high as five to six tono
of red ripe pods an acre can he expected.
On a recent visit to the plant
'he writer Interviewed a large number J
of growers and they all seemed well I
pleased with their papriku.
II A. Hasty, of Dillon, said, "I have
I
five acres planted and have already!
I
delivered two ynd one-half tons per |
Mere. I expect to make at least twen-j
t v. live fons this year." j
J
I
Mrs. Blllle Allen, Latta, commented,
"My two acres have already
brought me $222.23 and I have not
finished with the second picking."
R. H. McMacktn, Little Rock,
stated, 4'I have sixteen acres of
paprika planted this year and although
some of my fields were put
out late I think I will get at least
five tons an acre. That Is what I made
last year under similar conditions."
1). J. Pleasants, cashier, Bank of
Rowland, N. C.t had this to say,
"Paprika pepper is the best new crop
we have ever tried in this section.
Our farmers say they can make more
money growing paprika than cotton.
We expect to increase our acreage
in the Rowland territory next year."
The owners of the Carolina Pap-'
rika Mills, Inc., Robert Robich. Marcel
Roblch, plant manager, are natives
of Yugoslavia and they had a
paprika mill in that country. All are
from the city of Zagreb, now in the(
hands of the Nazis. They came to
the United States one or two families
at a time during 1939 and 1940.
Kvidently men of means and foresight,
they brought the .paprika pepper
seed need to start such an tn- |
terprise with them and are making
every effort to keep the seed pure.
They immediately began looking around
lor a place to locate a plant
and learned from the United States
I
dt partment of agriculture that pepper
for the spice trade was beity: grown
in South Carolina and Louisiana. Upon
comparing the rainfall and general
climatic conditions of these two
states they decided the upper coastal
plains of South Carolina more nearly
resembled their native land and
and through a friend in New York
became interested in Dillon. They now 1
make their homes here and in Little
Rock, have applied for American citizenship
and are glad to be in the
south. Marcel Robich expects to be'
inducted into the army in September,
and will do his part to help liberate
his more unfortunate countrymen.
The Dillon paprika plant makes a
rather impressive sight with eleven
double drying barns, receiving shed,
warehouse, and processing plant, all
of latest streamlined construction.
They use a dehydrating process as
nearly like the air drying method as
South Carolina weather conditions will
permit. The buildings are heated with
oil burners and they take two weeks
to cure out each barn. The process
they have worked out is a combination
of the European air drying method
for paprika and the Carolina way
of guring bright leaf tobacco. Thls|
gives the finished product a rich pap-|
rika red color so desirable to the!
trade, which cannot be obtained by
quick mechanical processes. After the I
pods are thoroughly dried they arej
put through a cleaning machine which
removes the strings and eliminates j
any possible hot characteristics. The
product is then hammermilled and!
after that ground six or seven times j
oil specially constructed stone mills.!
Each shipment is blended and sifted:
just before it is bagged. Special ship-j
ping tags have been prepared which'
are attached to each sack to insure
proper handling of shipments in tran-,
sit.
The present plant has a grinding
capacity of 1,000,000 pounds a season,!
which extends from August to May.
This could be increased at least 50 j
per cent with a norininal expenditure.1
The paprika produced at Dillon from
the 1941 crop was readily received by!
tho trade.?Exchange.
Mother and Daughter Found Dead
Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 7.?Mrs. Hal
McKee, 42, and her 13-year-old daugh-J
ter. Jean, were found shot to death;
in the latter's bedroom at their home
in the fashionable Myers Park section
early today.
Chief of Detectives Frank N. LUtlejohn
said preliminary investigation
indicated Mrs. McKee shot her daughter
and then turned the 32 calibre
pistol on herself with fatal results.
It is thought that kissing originated
from the desire of men to know
whet her their wives and daughters
had tasted wine.

Kooscvt^li s rubber ('oiuinittuo, litildttl
by Ib-mard M. Baruch. baa suggested
|sweeping changes in the present war11line
gasoline and rubber conservation
program One of these chauges
would he to make gasoline rationing
'applicable t<> the whole cOUUtli
which, front the first./has seemed to
me to be the only fair plan. I have
I Insisted that every state should share
alike in the sacrifices we are called*
on to make, for this Is everybody's |
war. If there is to be any special consideration
under the gasoline ration- ,
ing plan, it should he for those whoso
livelihood is dependent upon travel. ]
The liaruch committee's suggestions i
which have the approval of the Presl- t
dent, also would limit automobile and ]
truck speed to :15 miles an hour, fix
the maximum yearly mileage at 5,000 <
miles, reorganize the rubber conserva- i
tion program, call for stepped-up pro- ]
duct Ion of synthetic rubber, and give
re-capped tires for necessary civilian
use.
Soldier's Vote ]
On Wednesday the house by an over- whelming
vote agreed to the confer- 1
ence report on what is known as the ]
soldier's vote bill. The purpose of the ,
bill was to enable all soldiers to vote ]
by absentee ballot In primary and \
general elections, regardless of voting <
requirements in the several states. ,
One effect of the bill would be to nulll- <
fy the poll tax requirement for vot- j
Ing in several states. In my opinion, ,
the act is unconstitutional because it (
takes away from the states their ,
right to regulate their own elections. ]
The .South Carolina delegation voted <
as a unit against the bill, but its vote ]
was snowed under by the vote of the j
northern and western representatives, j
The state of South Carolina has al- f
ready made provision for absentee j
soldier voting. Other states should i
do the same thing.. The Federal gov- <
ernment should not meddle in this i
field. ,
President's Message i
The President's most recent ntes- t
sage created considerable discussion *
in Congress. He stated in effect that j
If Congress did not specifically give t
him authority to fix ceilings on farm ]
prices at less than 110 per cent of par- <
ity as now provided, he was going
to take the bit in his teeth and do It
anyway. He said further that if this
action on farm products- was taken
he would handle the matter of cell- j
ings on wages and manufactured pro- 1
ducts. There is a disposition here to <
agree heartily that the ' President1 \
should have great powers In this field, j
but members from the agricultural'
states do not feel that farmers should *
be the only ones fenced in by ceilings. 11
They feel that if farm prices are to t
be ' regulated. wages and prices on t
manufactured products should also be.
regulated along the line.
Presidential price fixing should ap- \
ply to every strata of American life!
or none. 1
It Is evident from a cursory inspection
of prices of raw farm products,
the cost of farm labor, and wholesale
and retail prices of processed and i
manufactured products from the farm
thai the farmer is not getting a fair)
deal in comparison. The farmer is e
willing to do his part of the sacriflc- r
ing. but he does not want to be the ?
goat in everything. Who can blame
him? Mnrkham truthfully said of the c
farmer: "Bowed by the weight of r
the centuries, lie leans upon his hoe r
and gazes on the ground, on his face v.
the miseries of the ages and on his
back the burden of the world." A (
resolution will be introduced here in f
a few days time in answer to the I
President's request. It will be refer-:a
red immediately to the banking and
currency committee. As Hoon as this 1
committee reports the resolution, the 8
house will vote on it probably
only two days debate. It seem^W
the senate, though, will take
longer in disposing of the prtj^B
We must win this war, and Coa3
will give the Commander-li-ChlefS 1
additional needed powers to ac^H'
plish that objective. ^^B

6t/ Joe Marsh i
When I drop into Sam Abernethy's
store, I usually come away with
something worth rememberin'.
Sam's our town's most successful
storekeeper and he*B not one to do
much talking, unless he figures he's
really got something to say.
Last evenin' he said plenty.
*
Stranger was in the store. And
Ben Ryder, Homer Bentley and
some others were talk in' about the
scrap collection when this feller
sort of horned in ...
"I hear these scrap collections
are a lot a bunk," he says. "Fact
of the matter is, this junk they're
gathering ain't no use for makin*
steel. Just a waste of time gettin*
it together . . ."
At that point Sam steps In.
"Jest a minute," he says, fixing
him with a cold and steely, eye,
"May I inquire where you got them
so-called facts?"
The stranger hems and haws,'and
Sam advances on him grim
and unsmilin'.
"Name your authority, tir,H ha
says. And he washt kiddin'l "Tell
us, where did you get all this h*- 9
side, private information?" "W
Well, air, I never saw Sam arf 9
mad since Lem Martin's dog W
chased the cat into the pickle bar*
rel. And I guess I never saw a maa M
crawfish out of a place fast as that I
fellow did. W

Thinking it over afterwards, I 1
came to the conclusion that Sam's I
got the real system for handHaf I
folks who throw facts and 6gmrm m
