Several years ago an enterprising merchant-fanner In a small Eastern Carolina town slipped away to Liver pool and bad a quiet conference with the president of a large cotton man ufacturing establishment. When the merchant-farmer returned home he exhibited tp his fellow merchants *nd farmers a contract, whereby be was to purchase cotton on bis local mar ket, ship It to the nearest compress and then bill it direct to the European manufacturer. ‘It was the first time in the history of tho cotton industry that a European manufacturer and a local qotton buyer had been brought together. It was the first attempt .that had ever been made to eliminate the middle-men in the handling of the publicity. , Mr. HanreF^-aa born on the farm world’s greatest crop. In that contract j End [g the , on of a fanner H( . lB one of four sons, all of whom are promi nent faflktipt of the Pee Dee country. His father before hin* was a success- tirt farmer, a utaltby man for his day and tfme. and could have reared his sons in eaee and luxury, but being a man of sound, practical Judgmdht 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 combined his techni- w^.v. w~ — -. cal knowledge with practical expcij- ence, and made his lands produce abundantly. When still a young man hit, extraordinary bus!?*" talent at tracted the attention of men of capi- seeing mercnaui uim *ai».«:.. t al and he was called fn**! tl.s Urm to the management of a cotton mill. 9o great was his success as a mill man that it was only .a short time before he besran the erection of another mill, ^nd h.ter acquired the Hamer Cotton Mills, a!! thr,* being consolidated un der the name of the Dillon Mills. Mr. Hamer Is not a politician; he is a plain, practical business man who seeks public clic? because he believes he can be of some service to his fel- lawman. Having been raised on the farm and knowing how to sympathize with the tiller? cf t v e soli, he thinks tho government should assist agricul ture. the source of all wealth, as much as possible, while he strongly l advocate? an equitable distribution of establishment of a closer relationship between the manufacturer and the farmer. Mr. Hamer is a modest man and .it is extremely difficult to get him to speak of any of his successes or achievements in life. It was with re luctance that he consented to the use of his name in connection with this article, but the only way the people can judge of a man’s fitness for pub lic office is by knowing what be has accomplished ss a private citizen, and it is nothing but fair to the people of South. Carolina and a matter of simple justice to Mr. Hamer himself for these facts to be given the widest, ’ Summer ( onstipat.lmi DangfWu*. LEE COl'N'TY ENDORSES MANNING FOR GIVERVE Bishopville. S. O..

Able lawyers who passed upon the provieions of the contract said that it granted an equal measure of protec tion to both buyer and seller. Finan ciers who looked it over said it was the beginning ol a new and better era in the handling of the cotton crop. In that it brought the Southern cotton field to the thresbho’.d of the European ■pinning room. But the Fate? so will ed It that before the plan could be put into practical operation death ■tilled the heart and hand of thi? far- aeeing merchant and farmer, and that contract which no doubt would have meant so much to Southern cotton planters became an inactive a^set of a litigated estate. But the germ of the idea did not die vnth this enterprising Pierrhrmt- farmer: it found lodgment in the fer tile brain of a young cotton manufac turer of the Pee Dee t-eetjon. “If the European manufacturer sees an ad- vgntage in getting closer to the pro ducer why not get closer to him my self?” reasoned this young manufao turer. ’’Why not buy my cotton dircc Instead of through the broker, nnd divide the commission with the farm er?” Thereupon be went upon the local cotton market in competition with buyers for brokers and expor ■ taxeR -placing the burdens on those •re. and the price of cotton advanced b Par them, and who en- nearly fifty points the first day on | j 0 y n , og t benefits of government.” the atrength of his buying He con Mf l8 endorsed in writing tlnu«d the fight throughout the cea- I offlcer ln Dlllon & nd Mar!- •on. bought every bale of cotton his / ' mills needed first hand from the farm courties. er and net only saved money, for him- Bf the “ rvlcM alr ~ d * ■elf, but added thousands of dollars rendered. ’ By the merchant* of Dllloo and Bennettsvllle for bis progressive bus iness methods. , a By the bankers of both Marlboro .
