public roads. There are two big
problems South Carolina must solve
one is the tax problem and the
other is the road problem. Dillon
county cannot solve it's tax problem
without the help of the other coun-
Ties III the state. The tax law must
Dc general in its application. and re-
lief must come in the form of state
wide legislation which will euualize
the tax burden by making invisible
property bear its just proportion of
taxes. The road problem is more of
local problem. Each county has the
right to make its own road laws. but
after all the question OF good roads
- largely one of taxation. If coun-
~ Is willing to pay the price it can
have good roads. Dillon is maxim .
progress in good roads construction.
a highway is being built from the
Marion county line to the Marlboro
county line. but this is only begin
ming. Good roads are needed from
Lake View and Fork to the county
seat and TO the North Carolina line
toward Rowland. 1t will cost lots of
money to build these roads bur the
county will have to devise some plan
by which it can be done. We do not
believe tax of SO or the alterna-
tive of two days work will do it. Too
many men liable TO road duty would
give the work in lieu of the money,
and it is an exceptional man who
could give $5 worth of work on a
public road in day. Ten dollars or
ten days work would be better.

Better be careful how you invest
IN foreign money. Printing presses in
many foreign countries are running
overtime printing currency and
brokers are selling the now almost
worthless paper in this country at a
profit. 1t is claimed that Germany has
sold enough marks in this country to
make the first payment on its debt
to the allies. The German mark is go
ing down every day, and at the pres
ent rate the mark is being turned out

you have money to invest in foreign
securities put it in municipal bonds

LACK OF APPRENTICES.

The lack of apprentices in some
trades is remarkable and there is nc
reason to believe that there will be
much of an improvement in the near
future. This is particularly true of the
printing business, and this condition
Is partly due to the rules of the un-
ions. For so many printers, so many
apprentices. and that is all there is tc
it.
There are somewhat more appren-
tices in the country shops where the
unions are not strong, but even in
country shops the number of appren-
tices is below the averages of former
years.
1t seems that few boys nowadays
want to learn a trade that because il
Is good trade, does not yield large
wages at the start, or during the
years of apprenticeship. Because OF
too much education. or misapplied
education, too many boys nowadays
want to start in like a man." Some
of them show signs of trying to start
at the top and working their way
down instead of at the bottom and
working their way up
To learn a trade formerly was a
1audable ambition of the average
American youth. Now they try every
thing else but trade.
The printing industry is only one of
many that suffers from this condition

all this talk as a joke.


Now I know this Mr.. Horn and the
Mr.. Harrell also, and 1 can not say
just how active or what part the
weevil will take in destroying the
growing of cotton in Dillon county
and l only can judge from this and
other sections where | have lived.
and the indications now are that your
section will receive the same treat
ment that the counties and states
have experienced with this pest west
CT you.
Now l want TO say to this Mr.. Horn
and the Mr.. Harrell that ten thousand
men who had good homes and no
debts are now homeless and penniless
trying TO grow cotton where the boil
weevil existed. and refused TO accept
the warming. There are one hundred
thousand dollars reward offered for
the man that can find a plan whereby
cotton can be grown successfully un-
DER boil weev'l conditions. | cannot
say, but | hope the weevil will not
be as severe in your territory as he is
mere where the warm season is much
longer and the winter months are
not so cold. but let me relieve my
conscience once for all. when tell
my home county friends to contract
no debts TO be paid with cotton the
coming year. Whatever you do, don't
promise any one TO pay him from your
cotton crop, and all those who refuse
to heed the warning will pay for Il
dear experience, that is if the bug op-
crates there. as he las in this and
other communities. DO not accept any
ones advice when they tell YOU to
poison the weevil or offer 10 sell you
some new invention that has been
found 10 destroy the weevil The
state College and national government
have spent and are spending enormous
, sums OF money trying to dispel this
dreaded pest, and will give the rem
e6y their endorsement when proven
to be successful. but up to date there
is no plan approved or remedy rec
commended. If Dillon county can plant
cotton early. grow it quickly. and if
the iruiting season happens to be very
dry months YOU will probably make
fifty percent or two thirds of a nor
NAL crop, but on the other hand if il
b" = wet season at fruiting time and
Cen. WocVil has his army on the
round Judging from my observation
in this and other sections ! see no
chance under the sun that [ think
iCs'ifi,s me to tell YOU 10 expect one
bale OF cotton for every five acres.
The question arises at This point ::
What will we do then? Later hope
to write YOU what this an altogether
cotton country up until five or six
years ago did. what We crow. what
the banks did. The merchants and the
experiences of different remedies. and
so far as l can see there is nothing
to be gained or for me to loose by
eXaggerating or causing any excite
ment but 1 do feel that the time has
come when | can render my home
county a service and it is my duty
and pleasure TO do so, and only tell
what / have seen. and what
know to be true.

WHY YOU LIVE.

Sometimes you wonder what the
purpose is in making YOU live this
life. You mediate: What is it all
about. this thing we call life? What
is man? What am I? What is my
present existence here on earth
preparation for"
An answer TO these questions is at
tempted in new theory. the discus
sion of which is engaging the attcn-
tion OF many men in the scientific
world. The story is called time
binding. and its author is Count
Alfred Korsybslli. a Polish nobleman.
who explains it in his book, Man
hood of Humanity"
Plants have only one purpose. he
says-to take energy from the sun
and convert it into chemical energy.
Plants can't move about. Animals
eat The plants and. while they can
move about in space at will, they al
so are space-bound.
But man is not Gagged by space. He
moves in time. hence he is not time
bound. That is what you do now

started something that give him
tremendous Influence after his death.
No horse knows that his ancestors
were as small as cats. No horse is
making plans for the future condi-
ton of horses. That is because horses
ike all plants and all animals. are
space-bound.
iCto r;o
exactly the same way as the bees of
today. No expert bee passed on to
future generations any discoveries
about how to make more honey in
less time. Bees. like animals and like
plants, are space-bound - concerned
Only with the present. ignorant of the
past, oblivious to the future.
Man. however, has the time-bnd-
ing power which frees him from
space. From the beginning he has
sought. learned and passed on to pos
terity ways of getting greater returns
in less time.
Most of the material wealth now
existing in the world is not --the
product of the toll of those now liv-
ing. 1t is a gift from the dead-and
this is as true of organized society
and efficient methods of doing things
as it is true of physical gifts from
past generations-suc as clearing
timber lands for farms or building
railroads
Man records history. acquires wis
dem. makes progress and creates ma
terial and spiritual wealth to be pass
ed on to future generations.
Animals cannot do this, as Kor-
sybski points out. Hence, man is not

"HOG KILLING TIME" NEAR.
Important Points in Butchering Out.
lined.

Clemson College, Oct. 81. Along
with the first cold spell come
thoughts OF butchering time. 1t is
still too early to do this winter job
but we can begin right now to
! THINK of how we will handle our hogs
this year. Nine important steps in
killing hogs which make the work
easier and produce better pork are
Suggested by ID. r. Herman. extern
sion swine specialist.
l. Select only those hogs which
are in good health and are gaining
I III flesh. Hogs which are losing flesh
make poor meat. The weight and
condition al which to kill depends on
whether YOU prefer large or small
cuts oil pork and whether you want Il
fat or Il lean carcass. Most far
mers kill heavy fat hogs, but the
packers put a premium on hogs in
medium flesh, weighing around 200
TO 225 pounds.
:. Keep the hogs off feed for at
least "a hours before killing and keep
them quiet but provide them with all
the water they will drink. This
clears the system of food, facilitates
bleeding, and lessons some danger
in cleaning. Hogs that are excited
before killing dress out dark red
carcass. and if they are whipped or
bruised in any way the bruised spots
must be trimmed out.
5. In sticking avoid sticking the
shoulder, for this causes the blood to
clot and means waste in trimming.
hn lot hi hno l..,
a longitudinal incision in the neck in
sert the knife 3 or inches, with the
cutting edge towards the breast
bone, raise the point of the knife up
against the breast bone and with
draw. Then lay the hog on his side
TO bleed out. Do not drag the car
cass over the ground as this bruises
the meat.
4. Scald 1 1-2 to 2 minutes with
water 145 10 160 degrees Fahren-
heit. Water hotter than this makes
the hair set if the hog is left in the
water more than one minute. Water
much cooler than this requires too
much soaking to loosen the hairs.
Ii YOU have no thermometer. stick
your finger into the water three
third time is a little too hot for COM
fort the water is about right. Re-
move the hair from the legs, ears and
head first as these cool most rapidly.
A teaspoonful of lye or small shovel
full of wood ashes TO 80 gallons of
water will help loosen the scurf. Re-
move as much hair as possible with
the scraper because all hair that is
shaved off will stand out when the
pork is cured.
D. In removing the intestines use
the left hand inserted between the
intestines and the meat to guide the
knife and keep the intestines from
being cut.
6. Wash the carcass thoroughly
both inside and out.
7. Either remove the leaf fat
entirely or loosen it and allow it to
hang by the upper end. This facili-
tates cooling.
8. Split the carcass down the
middle of the backbone - not on
either side as is often done, for this
is a needless waste - and on down
through the head. In the South it
is common practice to cut the
flanks away from the hams, but in
doing this care must be taken not
to cut into the ham. These practices
hasten thorough cooling.
0. Never cut up the carcass until
it has had time to cool thoroughly.

The town of Lunl, >rton passed an
ordinance requiring automobile driv-
ers to pay a license fee of SIS. Certain
citizens objected and the matter went
to the courts. The supreme court has
decided that the town had right to
collect the license and now not only
are all drivers of automobiles requir-
ed TO pay the 50 but they must stand
an examination before they can get
license. The law adds TO the cost of
operating the already heavily taxed

Automobiles are dangerous vehicles
and everybody should not be allowed
to drive them. The person who does
not regard the automobile as dan
gerous vehicle is the very person who
should not be allowed to drive one.
Many states have laws which prohibit
children of certain ages from driving
automobiles. but the laws are not en-
forced. The Lumberton law enforces
itself automatically.
