mon who does not believe trucking
3 pays all they will have to do to be
convinced to the contrary is to
spend day in Dillon and look at
the number of trains passing
Through every day laden with
vegetables.
81 There was time not many
wears ago when all the truck rails
ed on the lines of the Atlantic
i Coast Line in South Carolina,
Florida and Georgia was carried
North in express cars attached to
the regular trains, but the de-
velopment of the industry was
30 rapid that extra express trains
I were put on. 1t was not long be-
:ore the crop became so large
that these extra trains could
not handle it. and then the
railroad people began to move the
crop with fast freight trains.
5 Every day numbers of these long
freight trains laden with all kinds
of vegetables pass through Dillon
! and every time one touches the
northern markets with it's valuable
consignment it starts stream of
gold flowing back to the south.
But still there are people who
SAY that trucking does not pay.
There are men living near Dillon
who own Small farms that produce
= barely enough cotton to provide
the necessaries of life for their fam
lilies anu just enough corn to keep
/, a mule half fed the year round.
Some of them, were never known
to have surplus dollar but once
J in their lives and that was the
year when cotton sold for IS cents
per pound. They are honest in
!, the belief that cotton is the only
money crop the south can produce
because they are influenced in
thought by the laws of heredity
and not by the lesson of expert
ence or observation.
But trucking does paw. If it
didn't the men who started the
industry years ago would today
be bankrupt. But instead they
are increasing their acreage from
year to year and are accumulating
comfortable fortunes. The tales
of sudden wealth that come from
trucking regions these days read
like the stories of fabulous wealth
that came from the gold fields of
the west in the early 40's and
while many OF them may be ex-
aggerations still there is enough
5 truth behind it all to cause the
ambitious man to sit up and think.
When factories shut down and
! there comes stringency in the
money market the laboring man
can do without an extra suit of
clothes or an extra under garment,
but the laws of nature force him
to eat and it is seldom that hard
!. times or over-production force
the price of food stuffs down
10 "a point below the cost of
prSsAuction.
"A dispatch recently sent out
from Lake City says that string
beans are bringing $l.75 a crate.
The crop in that section is unusu-
ally large and as the cost of pro-
duction does not exceed so cents per
crate it is readily seen that truck
ers in that section are reaping a
golden harvest.
The soil of the Pee Dee section
is peculiarly adapted to trucking
and this country is destined
TO become til e trucking center
of the world. There could

cesses here would consume too
much space. However. in order
to show how rapidly the industry
is developing in this section a let
ter from Cneraw to The News and
Courier is submitted below:
What was an. industry, and an
experiment, few years ago in
this section of the country, has
grown into the full stature of its
manhood. Three attempts, in as
many distincts lines of produce.
were made both to see if this soil
was adapted to the wholesale
raising of fruits and vegetables,
and if they could be raised with
a reasonable amount of profit, so
far away from the great shipping
centres. The verdict has been
affirmative on both questions.
Some miles south of here a man
started with a small patch of dew
berries a year ago. He now has
ten acres, and is not only dispos-
ing all of his berries to good ad-
vantage, but is selling plants.
He expects next year to ship ber-
ries in carload lots. with some of
his neighbors engaged in the
same line.
A little north of here a man
rented land at a yearly rental of
S11 per acre, for the purpose of
raising melons for the market.
Last year he sold nearly SIP, 200
worth of melons, and bought the
place. He is in the melon bust
ness still more extensively this
year.
Also to the north is a large
peach orchard, owned bv a stock
company of Cheraw and Marlboro
business men. They have been
shipping peaches in carload lots
for several years, as we'll as sup
plying the home market. They
are now putting up a large can
ming factory to use up all their
surplus stock.
Now comes a man, under the
direction of a New York commits
sion house. who is looking for a
tract of ESQ acres. upon which he
intends to put an expert planter,
who will pay particular attention
to melons, cucumbers and aspara-
gus, with beans, tomatoes, lettuce
and dew berries as side crops.
One of our enterprising citizens
across the river annually makes
crop.in Florida, and then comes
home and makes a second crop,
much of which he ships back to
Florida"
There are several reasons why
The Herald would like to see the
farmers of this section engaged
in trucking, the main reason be-
ing that it turns stream of gold
into the community at a time of
the year when money is badly
needed. Another is that lands in
this section have become so valu-
able that it is improbable 10
raise cotton on them at less than
10 cents per pound. Another is
that it would give employment to
hundreds of people who depend
entirely upon cotton as a means of
existence.
The Herald's plan is to organ
ize a Truckers Association, with
a membership of not less than six
progressive farmers. Let each
member obligate to plant two acres
of vegetables, divided into beans,
lettuce. beets, Irish potatoes or
such other vegetables as they may
select, provided. however, that
each member plants the same
amount of certain vegetable.

les of bonds were issued for two

State Land Board bought the second
series. and the levy will be made this
year to pay them in January of next
year.
The 1903 session of the Legisla-
ture on page 4O7 of the session law
authorized the issuance of $4,000 of
University bonds Hr Hastings, the
state treasurer has refused to issue
these, on tine grounds that no legis-
ature has the right to mortgage the
future. He has notified the Board
of Regents to this effect, and if they
wish, they can appeal to the Supreme
Court which meets the first Monday
in September, in Lewiston, and ask
for writ of mandamus compelling
him to proceed with the sale of the
bonds
Mr.. Hastings idea is to settle the
question once for air. as the same
tactics may be employed in any flu
ture session and sooner or later the
state may confront a grave financial
condition if this is permissible
