Entert-di^t the postoftloe at Lauren8, S. C, as sccoVid class mull matter. LAURl-NS:^. C, Dec. 20, 1905. An Invitatio^ to Mr. Dial. The News and Courier of last Friday contained the following^ommunication: To the Editor of Tin" tS^Ks anil Courier: Returning to Smith flBkui after a week's absence, my^^fcc?ion is brought to a letter of Mr.^^ML Dial, of Laurcns, published Decernner 7, in which he refers to my expressions about the Laurens Mill controversy, and em ploys innuendo which means, if it means anything, that my relationship to the matter prevents me from speak ing or wvi ng without bias. At the same time 'r. Dial naively points to his own ab. ty to separate himself in writing us a itizen from himself as a Milliken atto. ey. My relation:, ip to the controversy is, first, that of small stockholder, i have sucli tman al interest as Col. J. D. M. Shaw a. ' Mr. Bell and Mr. Madden and Mr. L nmons. None of us expects lawyer's L s or other prefer ment. We are in iK.oody's pay. In the second place I have an abiding friendship for Mr. Lucas, of long stand ing, grounded on a firm belief in his honesty and manliness, If I am what Mr. Dial calls "Mr. Lucas's press agent," Mr. Dial woll knows that only th??se considerations have driven me to that attitude, and if my sentiment of friendship has sharpened the intensity of my protest against the conduct of Dr. Dial's clients?even if my stirred feelings have led me to indignant ut terance?the motive is at least not sordid, and I await with complacency the judgment of all lovers "of fair deal ing, and of all sympathizers with the man in his unequal struggle, when set upon and hounded by the millionaire. It is fair here to add that on the day of the annual meeting of the stock holders, May 19, Mr. Dial desired Mr. Lucas to succeed in the controversy? so he told me out of his own mouth. If further proof be needed it will be re called that with Mr. Dial the Milliken fac tion would have held a majority of the board of directors prior to that meet ing. The fact that Messrs. Dial, Fer guson, Hale of Boston, Fleming and Milliken, now of the Milliken element, constituted a majority of the board of directors during the mill year 1904 and 1905 damns the sincerity of charges of mismanagement or wrong doing by Lu cas up to the termination of their di rectorships. Why did they not meet and demand Mr. Lucas's resignation? I protest against Mr. Dial's use of the term "the home people." He does not represent or speak for the people of Laurens. Though a non-resident, I am more truly a Laurens man in this issue than he. If he challenges this denial I shall go into detail, but pend idg that, I defer to the "dislike for publicity and notoriety" which he avows in his letter; for possibly it ex tends to some of his allies. If he would have the lid lifted, let him speak the word, for I am tired of hearing the in sinuation that Lucas's "home people," who are my people, are the instruments of oppression in the hands of the Milli kens. Let the public judge between the Milliken lawyer and the stock bolder who is Lucas's personal friend. By appealing to the press Mr. Dial seems toy admit the character of this dispute as affecting the public interest. I, therefore, invite him to join with me in an appeal to the people of South Carolina, in their representative ca pacity, the General Assembly, for the appointment of a commission to inves tigate the relations between the North ern selling agents and the South Caro lina mills. Let us see, for example, whether or not there are combinations in restraint of trade in violation of the existing drastic South Carolina statute. I make this proposition in all serious ness. Why should not the Millikens trust the Legislature as well as the Courts? Meanwhile we may see whether or not the fingers of Mr. Dial, the Milliken attorney, shall press to si lence the lips of that Mr. Dial who has for once overcome his scruples against "publicity and notoriety" to write as a "citizen and taxpayer of South Caro lina." W. W. Ball. In regard to Mr. Dial's claim about the contract with J. P. Stevens & Com pany, here is the answer, in addition to what Mr. Featherstone has said: It is saving to the stockholders about $15,000 the year more than was saved when the Millikens represented the Mills. The fact that it continues for a term of years will prevent the Millikens for that term of years from becoming sell ing agents and charging about double the Stevens commissions if they get control. It may have the effect of pro tecting the Mill for the future. Mr. S. M. Milliken has sworn that his firm cannot do business at lower rates than it charged. As long as that oath stands Mr. Milliken's firm will have to own or indirectly control mills in order to get their business. Decring, Milliken & Company did not permit Mr. Lucas to sell except through them. Mr. Lucas if he sold to other concerns at all did it in defiance of the Millikens. Personally, the writer would add that he has not criticized any stock-holder who merely sold his holdings and wiped his hands of the fight. Improving the Farm. The News and Courier recently con tained the following editorial which we think Laurens farmers will find worth considering: "This period, when the tillers of South Carolina soil have money to spare, should be signalized by the making of lasting improvements on the farms. The sagacious manufacturer, at the time when profits are generous, puts his plant in order, strengthens its weak points and adds those little accessories which, though not essential to produc tion, facilitate it. This he does rather than scatter all the earnings in in creased dividends, so that when the times of stress come again, as they will come, they may bo weathered without curtailing dividends. The same rule contains equal wisdom for the man whose plant produces cot ton, corn, cattle, vegetables and poul try. Thousands of South Carolinians who possess "onc-and-two horse" farms, and l?rger farms, have at this moment a surplus in the form of ginned cotton, cash or bank deposits. What will they do with it? The temptation to spend it for Christmas "goodies" for luxuries of all descrip tions will be hard to resist. Some with ] hundreds in pockets now will even rush blindly and deeply into debt in the vague belief that twelve-cent cotton has come to stay. The very thrifty will save, just as they defied difficulties and saved when cotton sold for six cents the pound. Others would nave if a good investment were at hand. Land is the investment with which they are most familiar, and which with good ?Jnge they prefer, but, they will argue, the prevailing higher price makes Tana purchases a heavy undertaking. What then is the safest, the most natural investment?that surest to in crease the farm's value and the farm's dividends? Land improvements is the obvious answer. The man who spends one hundred dollars in replacing the rail fence enclosing his pasture with the best of wire fencing that will en dure indefinitely will have a great ad vantage over nis neighbor, who must patch Iiis fences a few years hence, and must borrow the money to buy the nails and pay the carpenter. The man who spenda a hundred dollars in filling gullies ard redeeming a few acres, which were "washed away" years ago, will be in better position thnn the man who buys many acres at $30 each and executes his bond and mortgage for the greater part of the purchase money. Hard times will come and interest payments will once again seem hard indeed. In older States and countries the farms have improvements far superior to those of our farms. Stone fences, terra-cotta drainage, strongly built tenant houses and fine barns, not to mention soils made rich by fertilization, are the rule, not the exception. On those the cost of production is held to the minimum, and the profits never dwindle entirely out of sight. The arable lands of South Carolina have become too valuable for careless and wasteful treatment. The farmer who owns a one-hundred acre tract and has one thousand dollars in cash, if he be practical and intelligent, can invest it to better profit paying at home, with out crossing his own Doundary lines, than anywhere else in the world. ? Dying of Famine Is, in its torments, like dying of con sumption. The progress of consump tion, from the beginning to the very end, is a long torture, both to victim and friends. "When I had consumption in its first stage," writes Wm. Myers, of Cearfoss, Md., "after trying differ ent medicines and a good doctor, in vain, I at last took Dr. King's New Discovery, which quickly and perfectly cured me. Prompt relief and sure cure for coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, etc. Positively prevents Bieumonia. Guaranteed at Laurens rug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 50 cents and $1.00 a bottle.
