The two-faced baby burn in
Atlanta the other day has a promis
ing political career.
Harry Thaw put up an able defense,
but he made a fatal blunder
when he announced that he was
going in for literature.
A stranger who spent four
hours walking over Dillon the
other day said we ought to have
a trolly system so visitors could
see the town.

scribers during the recent whiskey
campaign is an indication that
the State newspaper is increasing
in power and usefulness.
The country correst>ondent is
breaking aviation records every
week. We noticed recently where
a gentleman took a "flying" trip
from Edgefield to Charleston.

No doubt about that.
We should not surprised any time
now to see the News and Courier
supporting the democratic party*
Five or six years ago when the
Atlantic Coast Line built the present
depot at a cost of about $10,000
they said it would be large enough
to accommodate the travel to and
from this point for many years to
come. The committee who had
the matter in charge saw the plans
for the new station and acquiesed
in the judgment of the railroad
people. But the railroad officials
and the members of the committee
were basing their judgment on .
]
ordinary developments that spring
from the natural order of things ;
and did not calculate on the ab-1
normal growth that not only Dillon.
but the entire country for a
radius of many miles, has attained 1
since the foundation was laid for
the present very creditable depot '
building'. One does not have to
look very far into the future to see '
that the town is rapidly outgrowing
its present depot facilities and '
before another six years have
rolled around the increase in trave 1 '
will have reached such propor
lions that an enlargement of the
depot and its premises will be ne- j
cet-sary to provide the public with j
the degree of safety and comfort I
to which is entitled. It has been
suggested that the A. C. L. and ;
N. & S. C. railroads combine and i
build a union station and if there
is any hope of bringing <
the two roads together on this i
proposition the time to push the 1
matter is before the new railroad
begins the erection of its depot 1
buildings. The coming of the N. 1
& S. C. means an appreciable in- !
crease from this point in travel (
over the A. C. L., and if you
think there is enough room at the
present station for the accommoda- j
tion of the public just attempt to ]
elbow your way through the
crowds that gather there at the
arrival of every train and you will
be convinced to the contrary. Tillman's
desire for state-wide
prohibition is a tacit admission
I that the dispensary system of
Ki: handling liquors is a failure. The
dispensary was not a failure .be
V 11? I ' >'T " "f y*:;
clause the system was impracticable.
If liquor is to be sold in a
community it is one of the best
systems ever devised for the control
of the traffic. Carried outon
its original lines the dispensary
would have grown in popularity.
not only among those who
were responsible for its establishment,
but also among the conservative
clement of the prohibition
i>arty who earnestly desired
some better method of selling
liquors than the old barroom with
its attendant evils. Pronibition
being impracticable at that time
the dispensary was a compromise
measure, but from the very be
ginning it was use J by unscrupulous
politicians as a vehicle to public
power and before very long it
fell into bad repute not only among
those who had no political ambitions,
but also among those who
had hoped to profit by its popular
ity but bad been dropped by the
wayside. Assailed on the one side
by its former friends and attacked
on the other by its most bitter enemies
its disintegration began at
its birth and there is no surprise
that it shared the fate of all other
movements for the public good
that resolve themselves into corrupt
nolitical machines for the
manipulation of the ballot. In
those counties where the majority
against the dispensary was very
large prohibition begins under
more favorable auspices than did
the dispensary 15 years ago when
sentiment between the dispensary
and the open barroom was more
evenly divided, but unless the law
against the illegal sale of whiskey
is rigidly enforced the pendulum
may swing to the other extreme
and there will be a re-establishment
of the dispensary with a
healthier and more substantial
public sentiment to insure its permanenpv
I Tr? 1 ib-o tVio dicnoncnr"
prohibition cannot be used as a
vehicle to political power and its
four years' trial in those counties
that adopted it over the dispensary
will be purely a test of merit, unhampered
by outside influences.
Dan'l Mac's Corn.
D'Mc. has a petted patch
Beside the street in town,
And for failure it's a match
For any corn around.
The stalks are very high,
Like fishing poles they seem,
But the ears of corn, oh! mv
'Tis nothing but a dream.
High up the stalks you see
The place the ears should grow,
[?oking up the stalk-like tree
A shoot and nothing?more.
D'Mc. thinks he's in the swim,
As by the patch he walks;
No one can see but him
The corn upon the stalks.
And to think a man in town,
For whom he had respect,
Who he had invited 'round
Said he wouldn't make a peck.

Merchant Who Won't Ad- 1
ertise Does not Detorre j
Support, Says a Fanner.
Ploreucw, Ala.. Time*. I
In an audience composed mostly I
of the members of the Farmers' i
Union one of the speakers lecently
expressed the mutal friendship j
between the farmer and newspaper i
in the following: '
"As a rule the farmer has no
rirmer friend than the country
press. The home paper is distinctly
the farmer's own papei,
supported directly and in directly I
by farmers, who compose the 1
backbone of the subscription list 1
of the printer and largely for 1
what the enterprising merchant i
advertises. Now, brother, let us i
not forget our friends. Let us 1
see that our subscription is paid a (
year in advance. We can do it. '
"The man or the paper that 1
fights my battles shall have my
support. Another thing, the mer- 1
chants advertising are the ones '
that mak^ it possible for us to get
a good local paper. The man or ^
local firm that is too penuriu* to j
advertise and help to support the
local press has no right to the far- 1
mer's patronage.
"I promise hereafter to go to i
II.? - J * - *
me uve au"crtisers ana tne man j
who does his share in supporting ?
the local press, thus contributing !
to my support, rather than buy of
a man who proposes to take all
and give nothing back. If far- .
mers as a class would support '
their friends, the other fellow
would soon go out of business."

To Road Oyer seers: J
1 take this means of commending *
many of the overseers for the activity i
they have shown in putting their sever- t
al sections of mad in repair. There are i
others who have not yet complied with
the requirements, and to these I would
address an earnest admonition to exert '
themselves vigorously to perforin what
is required of tbem. " \
Having noticed that in some places,
where the roads have been built np with 1
clay, sand is used in filling np holes in I
the road, I would urge that such holes
shall in ali cases be filled with clay instead
of sand or mod. ,
I would also cantion the overseers *
against ordering more lumber than is S
needed for immediate use. The prac- j<
lice of h iviag lumber damped on tfee .
road and allowed to lie unused is wrong
and mast be dis continued.
