chairman Of the cooperative mar
keting association, presided. interest
ing and instructive talks were made

Pushing Calhoun Highway.

r. +. Hanna, wellknown lawyer of
Cheraw. spent short while in Dill
lon Saturday afternoon in the inter
est of the proposed Calhoun High
way. This highway traverses the up
per part of the state and is making
for Wilmington. The proposed route
through the Pee Dee is through Che
raw. Bennettsville, Dillon. Rowland
and Lumberton. Another route has
been suggested by way of Laurin-
burg and Maxton and then into Lum-
berton. If the LaurinburE MaXton
route is selected Dillon and Rowland
will not be on the highway. Mr.
Hanna had a conference with a few
leading citizens and a tentative or
ganiZation was formed. If there is
any chance of bringing the highway
b. Dillon the organization will be
enlarged and Dillon will go after it.
In a few weeks Dillon will have a
fine top surface road from the court
house to the Marlboro line. and it
would be necessary to build a good
road to the North Carolina line to-
ward Rowland. The Rowland folks
are ready to cooperate and will build
good road down to the South Car
olina line. If Dillon can secure the
highway 1t will put this section in
close touch with Wrightsville Beach.

Aged COlOred Man Dies.

Henry Manning died on Saturday
afternoon at Bethel church. Old
Uncle Henry was the oldest person
in this community and there is no
doubt as to his being a real centenar-
ian. OF this there is no proof, but his
memory up to few months prior to
his death was remarkably fresh and
hif "reminiscences ran back to the
tiihe he lived in Virginia and he
could recount vivid recollections of
when as a yearling lad in his teens
he rode on horse back with a large
aggregation of slaves to be sold in
this section. He was sold in the field
only few hundred yards from
where he died. His purchaser was
Nicely Manning the ancestor of SO
many Mannings in this section.
Though only a stripping boy the year
he was brought here he had recollec
tions Of the presidential campaign in
which Henry Clay was an active
figure and Jackson was made presi-
dent with Martin Van Buren Vice
President. He had a confused idea
of great stir against the masons
the year he came to South Carolina.

that age.

TOBACCO GROWERS TO MEET
VIII Discuss Cooperative Marketing
ut Dillon Tomorrow.

tomorrow at 1890 o'clock the to-
oacco growers of Dillon county will
meet at the court house for the pur-
y pose of hearing talks on the cooper
\ atlVe marketing of tobacco. Address
! eS VIII be made by Bright William
son OF Darlington and T. B. Young
of Florence.
The object of the meeting is to
explain to the farmers of the county
SIhe advantages of the cooperative
marketing plan and if possible to
form an organization in the county.
The Herald has no figures on the
advantages of the cooperative mar
keting plan. but it does know
that where the plan has been tried it
has been successful. Last year the
Canadian tobacco growers organized a
cooperative marketing association,
and according to statements appearing
in many of the leading farm journals
they managed to get twice as much
for their tobacco. While tobacco was
selling in Kentucky, Tennessee and
the Carolinas at from 10 to 80 cents
pound it was bringing in Canada
from 80 TO 60 cents pound. There
may be a difference in the grades,
but the difference could not be great
enough TO double the price of the
= Canadian weed.
dine of the biggest disadvantages
"&rOlina planter works under is
/ hofrt marketing period. The value
in u tobacco crop in the Pee Dee
ISi is something like 100000,
l3snis vast amount of tobacco is sold
IN little more than month. The
warehouses do not remain open long
because the buyers will not stay
and the farmer must rush his tobacco
on the market whether the price
suits him or not. 1t has been notice
able for the past several years that
the South - Carolina markets have
opened low and the prices improved
as the North Carolina and Virginia
markets opened. South Carolina to-
bacco has been shipped to North Car
lima and Virginia markets and sold at
tremendous profit in just few
weeks after it was sold on our mar
kets.
There will be big tobacco acreage
in Dillon county next year and plans
should be put on foot now to help
the farmer get every dollar it is
that Dillon county alone lost this
summer $20O,0O0.0O because of its
lack of system in the marketing of
the local crop.
The warehouses are powerless to
remedy the situation without the CO.
operation of the farmer. The buyer
controls the market and it opens and
closes at his pleasure. If tobacco is
not coming in very fast he can give
notice that the market will close on
a certain day and that means a rush
of tobacco to the markets. y rush
means lower prices and the farmer
suffers.
Every tobacco planter iii the county
is urged to be present at tomorrow's S
meeting. Cooperation between tobac-
co farmers is not = new thing. 1t
has been tried out in other sections
and has proved successful. Nearly the
whole state of North Carolia is or
ganized into a cooperative association.
and associations are being formed in
Georgia and Virginia. Messrs. Will
lR&Son and Young have stud
led the cooperative marketing plan
from every angle and they are COM
ing prepared TO point out its many
advantages TO the farmers of Dillon
county. 1t will pay to attend the
meeting.

Results OF Idleness.


We have often heard that IAN idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop" This
IS plainly and forcibiy illustrated in
the pretty thieving going ON right
in our midst There has also been
said. "The way to reach man is
through his stomach" To illustrate,
a former resident of Manchester Dis
Irlct, now In Baltimore, recently said,
THE idle people in the cities are be-
coming a menace to both men and
women on the streets" He says that
men will knock others down with
fists. sand bags, or any hard object.
i'm broad daylight, and take money,
knives, or anything that can be uti-
1ized as money. and escape. He has
been an eyewitness to some sights
as described. People who are without
work, having but little food to eat,
perhaps their dear ones at home in a
worse plight, sometimes get desDer-
ate. forgetting about Higher Power"
re these people would read and study
the last part OF the 9Th chapter Of st.
Matthew, IL would give them fresh
courage to fight the battles of life.

SUPPLY OF GRAIN FOR HENS

Varies With Breeds.

give the hens, ms the amount Of feed
which they will eat varies with dit.

Of the year They will eat more feed
in the spring while laying heavily
than the summer and fall when laying
fewer eggs.
A fair general estimate Is about one
quart Of scratch grains and an equal
weight OF mash (about one and a half
quarts) daily TO - hens Of the gen.
