fore Selecting Experiment. Station
SittPt

AS has been stated through
these columns on several previous
occasions Dillon must get busy if
she hopes to land the Clemson En-
pertinent Station. Other counties
in the Pee Dee are bidding for the
station, but Dillon has advantages
over her competitors that will be
very much in her favor, provided
those advantages are set forth in
Il strong and vigorous manner. The
farmers are the best judges of the
value of the experiment. station
and if they will unite with sc mer-
chants of the several towns il the
county there is no reason why Dill
on should not succeed in landing
the station.
According TO Il letter from Prcsi
dent Riggs a committee has been
appointed to visit the several coun-
ties of the Pee Dee TO select q
site for the station. One of the
conditions is that a county shall
furnish a certain number OF acres
of land, but the character and YER
satility of the soil will be consid-
cred along with the claims each
county proposes to set up. Follow
ing is the letter received from Pres
ident Riggs:

Mr. Mott, assistant district attorney
would not say what action would be
taken. He regrets the publicity, say
ing the investigation will be hamper
ed
He acknowledged, however, that the
district attorney has many affidavits
of grocers who have been squeezed by
the alleged trust in the fight to kill
competition and get every grocer into
the fold.
Rebecca Silver who has a grocery
store i'm 203 East Ninety-Sixth street.
has filed with the district attorney an
affidavit telling of her experience with
the alleged food trust, which. it is
said, maintains higher price than
necessary for milk bread and butter
and other staples. She said represen-
tatives of the organization called in
June, 1910. and asked her to join.
They wanted her to stop giving trad
