houses were built and markets eS-
tabIiShed all through this Pee Dee
section. If we remember Alright the
first warehouse built in Williams
burg county at Lake City (about
1899 proved Il failure and had to
I've abandoned for several years.
Another warehouse at Scranton,
built some years later, had to be
closed and has never been re-opened.
These pioneer efforts cost the ware
house stockholders thousands of
dollars and it was only after several
successive Improbable years, that
the unremitting energy and perse-
vcrancc of DR. Williams, Judge
Green and their associates bore fruit
and the tobacco warehouses at Lake
City became a paying proposition.
Think You for one moment that had
the farmers depended on the So
called "pin-hookers," they would
have ever had a market for their
tobacco? Suppose every farmer
followed the advice of Mr. Stuckey
and sold exclusively to the country
buyers, causing all the warehouses
to close their doors, would they
not put themselves at the mercy OF
the 'pin-hooker"? With no ware
houses or regular buyers, how long
would the culture Of tobacco con-
tinue in South Carolina?
Again, the warehouses represent
an investment of home capital;
they are assessed for taxes and help
swell the revenue; they usually
bring as permanent citizens of the
community a class of enterprising,
progressive business men, who with
their families make very desirable
citizens.
If the ''pin-hookers' pay any
taxes or aid in any way in building
up the community they visit. we
have never heard of it. They are
birds Of passage, fitting about from
place to place and, like the little
busy bees, gather honey all the
day from every opening flower
and, like the bees, leaving no toll aS
onward they wing their flight.
Justice" (who by the way is
not warehOuse-man, nor is he con-
nected with any warehouse, so far
as we know makes the point that
the "pin-hooker" usually sells to the
warehouses or to the regular buyers
the tobacco he buys in the country,
therefore it is impossible for him to
pay the full market price. That
seems reasonable, and if the premi-
ses be true the conclusion is newt
able: Every middle-man through
whose hands product passes takes
from the price the producer should
receive. Nobody is working for his
health or purely for philanthropy.
We submit the foregoing state
ment of our views on a subject that
just now is of vital interest to the
farmers, as we'll as the warehouse
men, of this section. We shall be
glad to publish anything on the
subject, whether or not in accord
with the views of the writer. More
over, if We are wrong in any of our
statements or conclusions, we shall
he glad to have the error pointed
out.
Now Is the Time to Help.

WORK OF COMMISSIONERS
Pass On Reports; Audit Many Accounts
Set Tuesday For IO-VoIImer
School Hearing.

-~~A AA~~-A-6@
The Lewis county board of COM
missioners convened in this city Mon
day morning, all members reporting
for duty, and the work of the Octo-
Der session vas soon under way.
The auditing of numerous accounts
took up the greater part Of Monday.
A petition vas presented during the
morning from Vollmer opposing the
division of independent school dis
trict No. 2, and Tuesday, Oct. II,
at 10 a. m, was set as the tine for
hearing on this matter.
Tuesday and Wednesday we're
devoted principally to passing upon
accounts, road overseers reports,
etc.
The reports Of the following road
overseers we're approved: Ira P.
Coon, dist. II. U. S. Holms, dist.
S; c. E. Kennedy, dist. Il; Martin
Meiners, dist. 8; W. Il. Sawyer,
dist. 10; NJ. Kelly. dist. 4.
The quarterly reports of Sheriff
ShOekley, Auditor Clovis, Treasur-
er Gross, Probate Judge Hammen
and Justice Ramsey we're received
and approved.
The depositary bond Of the Ilo
State Bank, in the sum Of $4,000,
vas approved.
The board adjourned last night. to
reconvene next Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock.
It is anticipated that the meeting
will be an unusually inter-
ssting one when the Vollmer-Ilo
school controversy comes up.
The school troubles brewing be-
.veen IIo and vollmer which grew
,ut Of the townsite fight, have been
transferred to the commissioners Of
his county by the filing of a large
,etition by the residents of 10 aid
i number of farmers asking that the
Tollmer independent school district
ie divided and that the 10 section
ie set apart in separate district.
When the commissioners met Non
ay morning, Vollmer representa-
ives we're present and large petit
ion from that town vas fled remon-
trating against nO being set in a
operate district.
Three years ago the citizens Of
'ollmer formed a stock company
nd built a $4,000 school building
vollmer on the opposite side Of
le town from 10, and which is be-
g used as the schoolhouse for the
istrict.
On account of the two factions be-
g so equally divided they have
zen unable to bond the district to
iild a new school building and the
d Ilo school building is inadequate
accommodate the children. All the
assees are vollmer people and the
iildren must attend school in voll-
sr in the school building which
E stockholders are renting to the
strict.
A suit was started some time ago
sking to condemn the vollmer
hool building as being unsafe and
prolestanls further claim that
, stockholders are trying 10 un-
ID the school building on the dis
Ct, il being alleged that the school
worthless and unsafe for child

Recent Land Decisions.

The rule of approximation has not
been invariably enforced, and where a
showing is made that the enforcement
of the rule would work a hardship
upon the entryman and the equities OF
the particular case warrant it, the de.
partment has allowed an entry for
more than 16O acres to stand.
Under the liberal provisions OF the
act of May 20. 1908 (35 stat, 467), &C.
tual residence means presence on the
land as home, unless absence is con.
strained by such force as deprives the
claimant of voluntary control of him
self. "Actual' in this statute must
be construed as "real," as opposed
to constructive or notional.
Where land is selected under pro.
visions of act of January 4, 1897, 80
stats, 636 J, and contest aftida avits are
filed against such selection, upon the
ground that the land was occupied,
such affidavit must allege prior right
in the land in contestant and must
also disclose the names of alleged oc-
cupants at the time of selection. The
selection of occupied land is not a
fraud against the government per sc.
Where it is alleged in a contest tn a.
one party originally obtained a re.
linq uishment from the other party by
fraud, and such charge was made be-.
fore the local Office, and the entryman
from whom REIMBURSEMENT was OBJ
tanned appears ready for trial, al.
though in default under the rules OF
pr sctice, the local officers should, OF
their own motion, take steps to secure
q reinstatement of the original entry
and of the contest and should fix 6
date for hearing the same. In cases
as above, the department will con
cider the case upon certiorari.
