A Dillon Herald sketch mocks polar exploration and politics. It notes Cook and Peary might be Democrats due to disagreements and jokes about reunions. A scientist's claim about the north pole wobbling and a quip about pellagra from western corn closes the item.
In Dillon with 3,000 residents nearly 1,000 children attended public schools last year indicating a high youth presence in the Pee Dee area.
Early slogan promised to turn the rascals out but ongoing graft trials in Columbia suggest the dispensary crowd may be failing to keep that pledge.
Upon returning to civilization Commander Peary sent a sharp message casting doubt on Dr. Cook. Dr. Cook responded with magnanimity, praising Peary's claim while maintaining his own stance. The Herald notes the clash reveals character and predicts the showdown will influence perceptions of the pole discovery.
An unnamed North Carolina farmer declares he is making four bales of cotton per acre, amid past boasts of two and three bales. The piece notes a lack of proof and urges an affidavit to substantiate the extraordinary claim, reflecting optimism about cotton yields.
The Raleigh area report notes Mr. KR Wentz of Goose Creek seeks higher yields after visiting Mr. W. A. Simpkins, who already averages four bales per acre on a 50 acre field and two acres for seed selection. Wentz plans to plant Simpkins' seed on a four acre brag patch while predicting potential gains despite drought and weather constraints.

Moore & Co and Wm. Brick locations, a bankrupt stock clearance, school desks and No Noise desks, plus a Sept 20–29 malleable range demo and a farm lease inquiry at the Herald office.
