JOHN r.. BLANCHE. MAKES NEW
SUGGESTION
Farmers and Business Men Should
Organize Holding Company and
Help Regulate Market.

lhe following letter has been
written by Mr.. John r. Blanche.
manager of the local Farmers Coop
erative Market Association. sug-
gesting plan to help regulate the
price of cotton:
Orangeburg Farmers Association,
Orangeburg. S. c., Nov. 80, 1918.
Mr.. Skottowe Wannamaker, Pres
South Carolina Bankers Association,
St. Matthews, S. c.
Dear Sir
| desire to submit a suggestion to
the Committee of Fifteen, appointed
by the cotton growers of South Caro-
lima at the meeting. held in Colum-
bia on the 18th inst. of which you
are member, and l would request
that YOU submit this suggestion to
this committee for its consideration
and such action as il may determine
upon.
My plans is that there be formed
stock company with capital Of
$4,000 100000 divided into $4,000
90 shares each; and that this capital
be raised by selling the stock among
the farmers and business men through
out each county, who are Interested
IN sustaining the price of cotton If
the farmers, who have cotton. and
those over the entire state, who are
virtually interested in stabliZing the
price OF cotton. would each subscribe
for a few shares. in proportion to
their respective interests, there
should be no trouble in raising this
amount ~ cash capital The fact
that such a company WAS formed
for the purpose of assisting and Fl.
nancing the holders of cotton, to.
2cther with the borrowing capaciiS
OF such large corporation. in my
opinion, would prove Il factor OF very
great strength.
We all know that there are {
large number Of small farmers anC
some larger ones who, for one rea
son or other, will not withhold
their cotton from the markets; and
this company could either assist and
encourage them in financing their
holding, or ii could purchase the cot.
ton direct at the prevailing market
prices. Certainly it would furnish
must or will sell, independent Of the
speculators.
1t would also BE- necessary for a
similar movement to be undertaken
by the cotton growers and business
men in every Southern state. and l
feel satisfied that. if South Carolina
would lead in this proposition. and
If your committee would make steps
TO present it throughout the entire
cotton growing belt, there should be
good chance OF the proposition be-
ing generally adopted. In such
event the present holders would
have the situation absr'u ely in their
hands, and we could demand and get
the prices we are entitled to re"eiVe e.
The proposed capital stock Of So
600. 10000 will only amount to
about $500 per bale for all the cot
ton raised in South Carolina. and
with the market fluctuation OF more
than this amount per dav a. times
il seems to me that ali Of our far
merS should be willing 10 invest this
amount in an undertaking which
would have such vital Influence up

Dear Editor Of the Dillon Herald =
In looking over your paper Of Dc
cember 5th l notice you did not cor
rect the mistake in your pauer of the
week before issue where you had my
son, John Dewey Freeman's name i'm
the deserters list. For any inforna-
tlon you may want l refer Won to
Mr.. w. II. Muller, attorney-at-law of
Dillon, who saw him fill out his aues-
uonnaire and handed it TO Mr.. John
Z. Bethea according TO the law. Him
and his friends and family will great
ly appreciate it if you will correct
the mistake in this weeks paper.
Yours truly,
JOHN NJ. FREEMAN father
'Reference to the records of the
Local Board shows that John Dewey
Freeman is delinquent and not a
deserter. Private Freeman did not re-
turn his questionnaire i'm the time
provided by the rules, which placed
MIN in the class of "deacrter." When
MS queStionnairc was re, Civcd he
went into the class of q .'delinuuent. ;"
ard his name was so posted bv board
In many cases, however, this is no
reflection on the registrant as he
might not have received his uucs-
tlonnairc in time or mi"ht have been
prevented from returning il hv ill
ness or some other cause. Regardless
or the cause. however, the govern
ment requires the Board to publish
all such names and that was why
Private Freeman's name was included
In the list as published in The Her

Ii has been reported that the Boars
OF Health would close all stores sew
eral days before Christmas, provided
th"r" was another outbreak OF in
tluenZa. This is a mistake The Board
OF Health fears there will be another
outbreak of the epidemic following
the holidays, because people are
bound 10 crowd stores and streets
three or four days before Christmas.
What the Board Of Health wants to
do is not to interfere with legitimate
business. but to protect the lives and.
health OF the people by urging them
not to put off their Christmas shop
ping till just before Christmas. Even
II person has had the disease they
are liable to contract il again, and If
they do not contract il they are liable
to give it to others. Shopping early
this Christmas is matter of the
highest Importance. 1t may save you
spell of sickness OF save the life Of
some one near to you. Every effort
will be made to avoid a recurrence OF
the epidemic, but the public must do
its part. No loafing will be allowed
on the streets for the several days
preceding the holidays. You must do
your shopping and move cut The
plan is to keep the crowds down
and prevent congestion in the stores
