Where do they come FROM" ask
ed a retired merchant who had TAX.
en- note of the large number of week
end buyers in Dillon last Saturday
The population of the county is not
much larger than it was Is years ago
when 1 was in business" continued
the merchant, "but it seems that the
number of buyers has quadrupled. -
The answer is found probably in The
News and Courier's comment in Tues
days issue on the big crowd of buy
ers In Spartanburg last Saturday. 1t
says IN part: 'It is interesting to note
at time like this, when business is
beginning to revive again here and
there after a period of depression. the
beneficial effect of good roads enters
into local situation as an important
factor" Following this same line of
thought The Herald of Spartanburg
says: ''The great crowd of farmers
which gathered in Spartanburg Satur-
day could not have come in anything
like such numbers but for the rapid
development Of the highways which
now cover the whole country" All
CT which Is very true but the auto
mobile itself is great factor as a
trade developer. If we had to make
q choice between the two we would
take the automobile with bad roads
In preference to good roads without
the automobile. but when a communi-
ty combines good roads with the auto
mobile 1t has a combination as trade
developer that cannot be surpassed
While Dillon's roads are not up to the
average. yet there Is an autom obile
to every 18 inhabitants. and therein
probably lies the answer to the re.
ared Dillon merchants question
where do they come from?"

corn last season tried to ship their
crop to the Walterboro elevator, but
could not do so on account of the
double freight costs which would
have resulted
When the boil weevil reached Flor
ida some years ago grain elevators
were built, not only at inland towns,
but at all the chief ports. These
cities realized that in order to hold
the trarde and properly serve their
adjacent territories they must be
equipped with proper elevator facili-
ties.
Exports Corn to Cuba.
Jacksonville has a 0,000-bushel
elevator. The concern exports much
corn to Cuba and to the Bahama
Islands, besides shipping to dealers
in various parts of the State. Tampa
has an elevator which covers the
State as far north as Orlando and
which also makes direct shipments
to Cuba. In the year 1919. in spite
OF a bad crop season, the Tampa ele-
vator handled over 100 cars of To-
cally grown corn.
In South Carolina the hustliing port
of Beaufort Is alive to the situation
| and Is busy completing 900 BUSH
ell elevator similar to the one in op-
Grafton at Walterboro. Their plan is
to handle all surplus corn in the
Beaufort section and to export the
grain direct to Cuba markets.
Charleston Needs Elevator.
1t would seem imperative that
Charleston be promptly equipped with
modern elevator facilities to handle
corn and other farm products as are
those other cities. Vast quantities Of
corn would come in by water from
the islands. Also many Of the Charles
ton customers at a considerable dis
tance who have always met their
bills with "good middling" must in
the future meet these bills with corn
in the ear and on the hoof OF neces-
sity man so situated can only do busi-
ness at point ready with an eleva-
tor for the corn and with stock yard
or packing plant for their hogs.
i The cry now to the farmer Is di-
versify. diversity. but before giving
him this advice the business leaders
must assist him by providing equip
ment and cash markets for the fruits
loe diversification' The old one crop
farming was a one man game, but
modern farming. like any modern
business. is complex enterprise and
Is community proposition.

We are glad that another South
Carolina town is showing unmistak-
Nble signs of returning prosperity. A
person walking through the business
streets of Dillon last Saturday would
have thought that all the people in
South Carolina were doing their
weekend trading in Dillon, but The
News and Courier, quoting from the
Spartanburg Herald, says last Satur-
day was the busiest day the Piedmont
city has had since the period of de-
preston set in IL months ago. The
Herald says "that last Saturday
brought to the city Of Spartanburg a
crowd that congested its sidewalks
and congested its streets with cars
from all regions of the country round
about" We had the same conditions
in Dillon. In many stores people
were compelled to leave before they
could be waited on, and we have no
doubt that many people left town
without having completed their pur-
chases. There was no drain on the
banks and the money seemed to come
out of the air On the other hand the
they opened for business Tuesday
morning after Mondays holiday. This
is taken as a sign OF returning con-
fidence. There have been complaints
from time to time that too much mon
ey was kept in hiding. 1t Is this habit
OF hiding out cash money that brings
on hard times. 1t makes money scarce
and increases the interest rate and
~ the interest rate increases there
ID less borrowing and less money to
borrow. The rush on the stores last
Saturday brought lots Of money out
or hiding. This money found its way
to the banks Tuesday morning, and
although Saturday was the busiest
Day Dillon has had in IL months, and
thousands Of dollars worth of goods
were purchased, the bank deposits
showed a healthy increase from the
days transactions.

PRESIDENT ELECT
AND HUGHES WILL
DISCUSS POLICY
AT St. AUGUSTINE
WITHIN FEW DAYS
Three Cabinet Possibilities
Called To Conference
With Harding - Dawes
Continues In Limelight
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlre1

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. IL
While President Harding was dis
posing of another long list of miscei-
laneous appointm today, it became
known that in the very near future
he would begin a series OF conferences
calculated to bring to head the whole
question of cabinet selections.
The names of three of those ex-
pected here within the next few days
attracted particular attention, because
all of them are known to have been
under serious consideration for cabinet
places. They are Charles E. Hughes
of New York: Charles G. Dawes of
Illinois and J. D. Davis of Pennsylva-
mia, considered for the PORTFOLIOS of
state, treasurer and labor, respectively.
Mr.. Hughes generally is conceded by
those close to Mr.. Harding to be the
president-elect'S choice for secretary
of state and the fact that he is coming
to Florida is accepted as one indica-
ton that he will get the appointment.
1t is expected that at the conference
which probably will take place early
next week. the two viii discuss the
whole question of preliminary steps
nations.
The prospective visit of Mr.. Dawes
who recently got into the Iimelight by
spectacular denunciation of the Re-
publican congressional committees in
vestigation of the conduct of the war
Is more of an enigma. 1t was under
stood in December that he was fore
most in Mr.. Harding's mind for the
treasury position, but in recent weeks
the friends of other aspirants have be.
come so active as to becloud the sit
uation. No announcement had been
made of a formal appointment for Mr.
| Davis, but he is expected to be in st
Augustine within a few days. 1t !:
| understood that Mr.. Harding has heart
f1attering reports of his capability, bu
desired closer personal acquaintanc,
before reaching a decision in regart
to his appointment
Today the president-elect again con
! ferred with Senator Wadsworth ant
| Charles D. Hilles of New York who ar
/ understood to have come here to dis
cuss among other things the Republican
situation in their states. He also say
John Barrett, former head of the Pan
American Union.
After his talk with the president

predicting that the attitude of the com
ing administration would be one Of
friendlineSs for Pan-America and tha
men of the highest qualifications woul
be chosen for the Pan American am

Mr.. Harding to attend the unvellln
of a statue of Bolivar in New Yor

invitation would be accepted.

Cable Conference
Adjourns Without
Making Settlement
lRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre]

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE inter
national communications conference
convohed at the state department after
an interim of two months adjourned
today without reaching a decision of
the disposition of the German cables.
Another session will be held next
Tuesday.
Representatives of France. Great
Britain, Italy and Japan requested
further postponement of the discus
sions in order that final instructions
might be obtained by cable from their
respective governments. Since all the
delegates who represented the allied
governments returned to their homes
after the adjournment of the confer
ence in December, the four powers
were represented at today's meeting
by their ambassadors or charges.
Ambassador Jusserand Informed the
conference that on account of the
French ministry since the communica-
tions conference last met, it had been
difficult for him to obtain instructions
as to whether the attitude of the gov
ernment had altered toward the a1lo-
cation of the cables. American Off
Gals have stated that the attitude of
France and Japan was responsible for
the blocking of a settlement last fall
and it is hoped by officials here that
with the new instructions which are
being asked for by the allied repre-
sentatives an agreement may be
reached within the next few weeks.
The attitude of the American COM
missioners is known to have under
gone no change. The United States.
1t is learned will continue to main
tain its previous position with respect
| to the recognition by Japan of the
equal rights of all nations to the cable
| landing at the Island of Yap.
Although on the point the attitude
| of Japan is understood TO be un-
| changed Advices received today in
official circles, assert that newspapers
| in Japan were forbidden to print re-
ports of the sessions of the communi-
| cation conference held here last fall
