NAL Of prospective bitter rivalry be-
tween Britain and America for sea
and trade supremacy was made by
Chairman Edward y. Hurley OF the

the Treasury Rowe, before the Pan

emphasized the necessity OF getting
the international trade discussion on
fact basis.
There is no ocean freight rate
war between the United States and
Great Britain. Hurley assented.
we falsely hear that British
freight rates are so far below ours
that Britain is making alarming in
roads on our shipping. The truth =
that the United States shipping
board is reducing American rates
lust as rapidly as is logically possi-
BILE.
Again we are falsely told that
Great Britain is demobilizing, or
rather readapting her industries
from war manufacture, much swift
er than is America. This is not true.
She went through more than four
years of war and was much
more thoroughly merged in war
work"

ON CLOSING A DOOR.

We have noticed in our inobstru-
sive way that the person who walks
through a door without closing 1T,
after having found it closed, is usual
ly the person who is careless in every
thing else.
The state of mind, or mental vac
cum, that produces the lack of
thought that results in leaving open
doors, will be evident in all things
else.
There are many folks in Dillon, no
doubt, who advertise the carelessness
in their makeup to no better ad-
vantage than the manner in which
they will leave open a door that an
alert mind would tell them is sup
posed to be closed.
Carelessness is a defect in make
up that produces a great deal Of
trouble, for self and others.

At the meeting Of cotton farmers
held at Columbia last Wednesday a
resolution was passed endorsing the
plan to pay for fertilizer with time
certificates of deposit. The plan is
very simple: Instead of sending your
money away to some distant city
leave it on deposit at your home
bank, get certificate of deposit
from your banker and forward it to
the fertilizer manufacturer. You are
paying cash for your fertilizer and
at the same time leaving your money
in the community where it will do
some good. Every dollar sent to some
other town or city makes your own
town or city that much poorer. In
the fall when money is plentiful the
fertilizer manufacturer cashes the
time certificate of deposit and the
community does not miss the money.
You are making the fertilizer manu-
facturer carry his share of the bur-
den.

Money may be scarce, but if all the
cotton in Dillon county were turned
loose at prevailing market prices the
county would have more money than
it would know what to do with. We
haven't got the money, but we've got
what it takes to get the money. Hold
on to what you've got. There will be
squeal from somewhere before the
next crop comes on the market.
