Grim Retribution.
The experience of this Dillon man
will apply forcibly to people in this
? ' i ? t _ (
county, some 01 tnem ngnc ne^e in
Kingstree, perhaps, and all around us. 1
It is a natural consequence of the ne- j
farious lein law so coihmonly prac- 1
ticed in this State, and which sets up (
stronger temptations to commit in- *
justices to one's fellowman. But there 1
are so many whose consciences seem r
to be dead, and they think because 1
the lein system has been legalized by *
State legislation, there is sufficient 1
excuse for taking advantages of those *
who resort to it. The following con- 5
fession of guilt is from the Dillon (
. Herald: I
"You can say what you please about
a man escaping punishment in the other
world for his misdeeds," remarked t
one of Dillon county's well-known bus- S
iness men, "but one thing is certain, ?
he does not escape it in this world. I
Nearly every misfortune has its origin '
in some little sin, some little misdeed, ?
some violation of nature's or man's c
laws. Not in every case is the person I
upon whom the misfortune visited di- i
rectly responsible. Sometimes it is the t
sin of an ancestor or perhaps the evil 1
influence of an associate that ultimate- ?
ly brought about the misfortune for \
which an innocent person suffers. But \
after all it narrows itself down to s
the unalterable law of cause and effect, t
I had a most striking and painful il- t
lustration of this fact when I was a
younger man. I had a fine pair of
mules which I prized very highly. An
old negro in my community wanted j
those mules, but I did not want to sell
them. He asked me to make him a
price and I made it so high I did not
think he would accept it But he did x
and I had to go back on my word or t
let him have the mules. He paid me (
half cash and I took a bill of sale for j
the unpaid ballance. Every time I saw j
those mules I wanted them back. Cot- j
ton did not sell high during the spring r
and summer months, and when the fall c
crop began to come on the market the
price went all to pieces. Not many
farmers were able to pay the expenses
of making a crop. The old negro's pa- (
*" - ?1 OotnKoi. and ,
per was due we arise vx www. ? ,
he could not pay it. I waited a few i
weeks and then took the mules back, j
The old negro hated to give them up, (
but he could not meet his obligation ,
and there was nothing else for him to ]
do. In some way he managed to buy
an ox and cart and every time I saw
him driving that old ox around my .?
conscience hurt me. Down in my sub- ]
conscious mind something kept telling ?
me that I had not done right, but I 1
did not have the courage or the man- i
hood or whatever you would call it to i
go to that old darkey and tell him that 1
I would extend his paper and let him :
have those mules back. Several times i
I resolved to do this but I kept putting
it off. One day 'I sent those mules
down to the water gin with a load of
seed cotton. While they were standing 1
on the bridge over the pierhead wait- <
ing for the cotton to be unloaded the 1
old darky turned the corner right in 1
front of them with his ox and cart, i
The mules took fright, reared in the (
air, plunged into the mill pond and i
were drowned. In this tragedy there J
was a sermon on retribution so deep- 1
ly impressive that I shall never for- i
eet it." ? (

The prices there are low but really
better than at Andrews.
Mr. W. H. Ackerman is the only
man in this community who will make
good on tobacco this year, he has
averaged about $200.00 per acre. This
looks good to the fellow who will not
get that amount for his entire crop.

Well, "Mr. Boll Weevil' is making
almost a clean sweep with the cotton
, in this section." From the prnpects it
seems there won't be much co .ton and
peas, but, gracious me the taters and
corn. Mr. Halston Miller,for instance,
made on the farm of Mr W. J. Flowers,
according to recent estimate, a
yield of eleven hundred (1100) bushels
of corn on 23 acres with but three
sacks of soda only. Mr. Miller also
made a fairly good crop of sweet and
irish potatoes, beans, tobacco, wheat
and sugar cane. The weevil has dons
a good work when he beats the time
of old Williamsburg farmers, altho' he
jis playing havoc with the grapes.
