I notice in the Newtown Bee of
 July g that T. Lee Roberts, a mana ger of the Borden Milk Co.,, figures out now much it costs to make milk.
 First, he says corn and cob meal is
 worth but soc per 100 pounds. There are 21 pounds of cob in 100 pounds af corn and cob meal, which leaves 79 pounds of clear meal, which is worth anywhere 1 3-4c per pound;
 this would be $1.3S 1-4c per 100 pounds. And there would be 15c per 100 hounds for taking to mill and grinding thrown in. would like to buy of MT Roberts 100 tons at $1
 per 100 pounds; and he need not grind it either. Second. hay is worth
 but SIP q ton. 1 will pay him, for all the hay he can get like the milk men fesd, s1.50 per ton commission
 on SIP d ton. Now if MT Roberts cannot furnish the hay and corn at the above prices, why should he put them stlll lower. We are not all so bad off ] ut what we can see the hole in the ladder, even though some can be made to think that the moon is rns de If green cheese. Third: labor is too high at 15c anhour for handy man, 12 hours per day at that and board himself. I don't believe the pecGle that work in this town live on roots or were brought up to eat norse Ipresume MT Roberts and his help work for less than Sl.50 for 10 hours, as he thinks it is too much Tor Ciners. Would ne please state hcw .,rch he and his help draw per | day of 10 hours work T, ill he please figure again an see ht N much the in.ne4 would pe nn the ",ney in
 ,e,led in 31 go)l cows at five Ter
 cent and the big barn to keep them in? Where is the insurance bill on same? where is the cost of drawing all this grain from the station? Who keeps the team to draw that manure and milk? What about the money invested in the same? Where is the wear and tear bill on wagons and harness, etc.? Who furnishes the milk cans and whitewashes the stables? And who keeps the cows for two months when dry? Above all why is it that Borden's condensed milk costs two cents a can more for the last one and one-half years and the farmers get less for their milk? I don't see but what MT Lowell has figured only about half the cost and the ice thrown in at that. Sell me the hay and corn cob meal and l will make more money than the whole bunch of farmers put togeth- CT will on their milk at the present prices. I hope to see MT Roberts figure the whole thing out from be- ginning to the end as it should be. My address is Box 37, houte 16.

COAST LINE RETALIATES.
Believing the Seaboard is Be.
hind the N. &. S. c. Road
the Coast Line will
Tap Seaboard
at Laurin-
burg.

The following is taken from the
Bennettsville correspondence t o
the State:
The new North and South Car
olina railroad now running from
Gibson to McColl and Clio and
soon to Dillon has put on regular
schedules and already i; doing a
fine business. This road opens
up and developes the finest coun-
try in South Carolina from Gibson
to Dillon and will be extended ON
via Marion to Georgetown or some
other point on deep water. This
road will soon be through main
trunk line from Tennessee, Vir-
ginia. West Virginia and farther
West to the large coaling stations
established on the Atlantic coast
at the terminus of this road.
When the Seaboard built this road
from Gibson to Dillon the Allan
tic Coast Line at once began plan
ming to tap the Carolina Central
road at some point and has decid-
to extend its road now operating
from Bennettsville to Gibson on
to Laurinburg, N. c., one of the
best towns on the G. &. road be-
tween Charlotte and Wilmington
This road will be only nine miles,
but will run through a veritable
agricultural garden. Messrs.
Wade and Flynn of Florida, two
millionaires, vino are said to be the
moving spirits behind the Gibson
and Laurinburg road, were here
Saturday and went to Laurinburg,
and it is said that work will COM
mence soon on this new enter
prise.

THE SURVEY GOES ON
Despite the Efforts Of New County Op.
ponents to Block Il. Commission.
a Wires Mr. Beatty. Official
Surveyor for Old County.
That he Is "Dis.
~ missed"

The Surveyors began a survey
of the amended lines in the New
County division line Monday
morning. They began at Latta
and when the lines have been run
around the town they will proceed
to Pages Mill where they will run
another line taking back into the
New County ID miles >ofterritory.
The work should he compile ted
b y tomorrow and Monday or
Tuesday their report should be ir
the hands of the Commissioners.
Friday Commissioner M a e
wired Mr.. Beatty, surveyor for
the old county, his dismissal.
Mr.. Beatty was employed by Com
missioner Mace tc represent the
old county in the survey and un-
der the terms of the agreement it
is presumed that Mr.. Beatty was
to remain in the employ of the old
county until the survey was COM
pleted and the report was filed
with the Commissioners. The en-
tire county has been surveyed, the
division line has been run, the re-
suit has been given officially to
the Commissioners and now when
the governor orders a survey of
the amended lines Mr.. Beatty is
dismissed.
However, Mr.. Beatty reported
for work at Latta Monday morn
ing and armed with his authority
from the governor to proceed he
joined Mr.. Handy, the New
County surveyor, and the two
went to work on the amended
lines. If the surveyors make
their final report Monday the re-
port of the Commissioners ought
to be in the hands of the governor
by the middle of the week. The
governor has twenty days in which
to order the election and the elect
ion must be held within sixty
\ days after it is ordered.

Two-score members of the Dill

The occasion was one of the most
enjoyable in the history of the or
ganization anc the pleasure of the
evening greatly augmented by
several extemporaneous talks on
Dlllon's past accomplishments and
her future possibilities. The New
County, the new railroad, the e.
lectric cable connecting Dillon
with Rockingham Shoals and the
establishment of a cotton COM
press all came in for a liberal
share Of discussion. S IL
meetings can only result in ma
terial good to the city for in ad-
dltion o the charming social
feature there is an exchange of
ideas which brings the citizens
closer together and enable them
to understand each other better.
1t was clearly demonstrated at the
meeting that Dillonites have
become enthuscd over the future
OF their town and if one-half the
plans now on foot to develop the
town commercially and indus
trlous!y are carried out Dillon
will grow by leaps and bounds.

Exonerates Mr.. Johnson.

Having heard that Mr.. Legare' S
explanation to the Governor was
such that it was thought by some
that he intended it understood
that I had caused his mistake in
cutting too little area for the pre-
posed New County, I wrote him
for the following letter of vindi-
cation. ]. M. Johnson, Jr.
Columbia. S. c., Mch. 9th, 1909.
Mr.. J. M. Johnson, Jr.,
Marion, S. G.
Dear SIR
Your letter reed. In my ex-
planation to the Governor as to
how the mistake occurred in CAL
! culating the area for the New
County, neither intimated or in
ferred that it was caused by any
others error than my own. I have
never thought for a moment, or
given any one any grounds to
think that charge you with any
such motives as has been reported
% you, my explanation to the
&Governor was to show that the
My County people should not
1Hfer from my error.
u appreciate very much your
hdHSs to me, and if someone
81 rebArted that I ever inferred
HI yoa had anything to do with
nv error they are lying mali
cjous1y. Yours truly,
Z A. E. Legare.
