Subscriptions to the corn con-
test fund are increasing every
day and by the time the competi-
tors gather their crops it is likely
that the fund will have reached
considerable proportions. Quite
number of leading farmers have
entered the contest and there will
be lively interest manifested when
the harvest tins comes. The sub
Scrlption list IS in the hands of MIR.
w. L. Bethea and any one desiring
to enter their name will! pleasc call
at the Bank of Dillon. Those en-
tering the contest will have an op-
portunity 70 compete for three
prizes. One prize is offered by the
state. another prize is offered by
the Merchants & Planters Bank
and the third prize will be the fund
raised among the business men of
Dillon counry. One progressive
farmer in the lower part of the
county IS working an acre of corn
on the most improved methods and
II
has gone into the contest with the
determination to win. He is ar
rigating his land with gasoline pow
er and has prepared the soil like
garden. The corn contest is a
great educator and it is hoped that
every farmer in Dillon county will
take an interest in it. If you have
not entered the contest it will pay
you to watch the methods Of your
nelghbor who has. and thereby
gain information which YOU tan
turn to practical advantage next
year. A large western farmer who
was here some days ago told the
editor of The Herald that corn
could be Ia:sed here as proftably
as it could oe raised in the west
and that the sou,h was making a
great mistake by not raising it's
wn corn. The Herald wants to
see the day when not a grain of
corn is shipped into Dillon county,
and the inauguration of the corn
contest is the beginning of the
movement that will lead up to this
happy state of affairs.

lREAT DAY At LITTLE ROC

thursday was homecoming nE
at Little Rock. To the person "
knows nothing about Little Re
Homecoming Day" means littl
but to those who have visited an
enjoyed the hospitality of the Lit
tie Rock people it means a great
deal. Little Rock is known as the
garden spot of South Carolina. 1t
has been claimed time and again
by visitors from abroad that it was
original Garden of Eden. This
same claim Las been made for
Charleston, but after one spends a
day at Little Rock he finds the
odds in favor of Little Rock.
Anyway, Little Rock is land
of plenty-where flow in abun-
dance the streams of milk and hon
ey-and there is no doubling that
it is one of Gods chosen acres.
Nowhere in the south-particular-
ly in the cotton belt-are there any
Better lands and nowhere in the
world are there any better people.
Before the coming of the railroad
some rs years ago that drew away
from Little Rock some of it's best
and noblest citizens it could be
likened unto that most delightful
of places referred 10 as The Com
munity" in Wilkie Collins "Wo-
man in White" There was a
bond of affection between neigh
bors and kindred that made it an
ideal community, and fortunate,
indeed, was he who had a place
among them.
But it is of the homecoming that
we would briefly speak. There
were gathered here on this day the
many sons and daughters who had
sought their fortunes in other
clines and these joined in happy
reunion with the residents of the
countryside from many miles
around. There were services in
the church where many of the
home-comers, now grown-up in
the world of affairs, worshipped as
boys, and as the older ones listen
ed, brief talks were made of happy
boyhood days. OF course, on oc,
casions Of this kind those present
live in the past, if only for a day,
and as reminiscence after rcmin-
iscence was unfolded MANY
there were who lived again those
happy boyhood days when turpen-
tine and splinters kept close com.
panionship.
After the talks and the closing
hymn, God be with you till we
meet again" dinner was served
but an adequate description of the
sp1 cad would be hazardous unless
it were accompanied by an affida-
Wit. 1t was just such a dinner as
one would expect to find at Little
Rock. There was an abundance
Of everything ard when you apply
everything" to culinary matters
at Little Rock it includes the
White House Cook Book" from
cover to. cover.
The afternoon was spent in an
atmosphere of delightful social in
tercourse, and when the crowd be-
gan to disperse each parted from
the other with regret, and turned
their faces homeward with reluct-
ance.

crowd of speak-easy patrons and

Fight Pictures and Law

We confess that we feel a good
deal as Brand WhitlCck. mayor
of Toledo, expresses himself re-
garding the almost hysterical
agitation for the suppression Of
the Johnson-Jeffries fight pct
ures. 1t may be wise to put
them under the ban where con-
ditions are such as to warrant
fears Of race clashes. But aside
from that consideration. we are
out of sympathy with the re
crudesence Of Anglo-SaXon NOR
atty" that suddenly wakes up
to the fact that all this (the ex-
hibition of the fight pictures) is
brutal and likely TO corrupt some
body" while still Indifferent to
the fact that, in the tenements
and slums, children are dying by
thousands for lack of proper care,
that half a million men are killed
or MANNED annually by the indus
trial machines of the country for
want Of proper laws or enforce
ment of laws for safety appli-
ances, and that mum erous other
things far more brutal than the
Reno fight are overlooked or con-
doned because to agitate against
them is bad for Big Business.
In this connection we must re-
cord our emphatic approval Of
the answer Of Mayor Gaynor, Of
New York, to q minister who ur-
ged him to Suppress" the exhi-
bition in that city Of the fight
pictures:
If it lay in my power to say
whether the pictures should be
exhibited, it would not take me
long TO decide it. I do not see
now 1T can DO any one any good
to look at them But will you be
so good as to remember that tours
