February 3, 1910. Take a plunge, Mr. Candidate; the water's warm. If the Fork man who trotted 23 niles in little more than 3 3-4 .tours can run as well as he trots le would make a strong candidate or a Dillon county office. The Herald docs not put much aith in campaign pledges. The ime when pledges are fulfilled ifter the candidate gets in office s the exception instead of the ule. Hut if every man in Dillon county who is spoken of as a prospective candidate will pledge himself to work for good roads there will be mighty little opposition to a bond issue for a system of good highways. Next to the establishment of Dillon county the good roads question is of more vital interest to the masses of the people than anything else we know of, and it is greatly to be hoped that we can have a thorough discussion of this question in the primaries to be held some time in March. We think every candidate should go on record as to his position on the question of good roads. Good roads were promised in the campaign for the new county and now it is up to the people who made those promises to see that they are carried out. Dillon's three greatest needs are electric lights, water works and sewerage There are two ways in which to supply these needs : One is by bond issue and the other is by granting franchises to responsible parties. The town is entirely too large to be without either of these conveniences and we believe Council is ready to co-operate with the citizens in an effort to get either or all of them. The matter should not be delayed. It has been postpone" from time to time on account of the fight for the new county, but the time has come when the newcounty issue cannot stand in the way any longer. The Herald should like to get an expression from the citizens, as well as Council, on the cpiestion of issuing bonds or granting franchises to private individuals for these improvements, and we invite communications from all who are interested in the matter. The Herald takes pleasure in informing its readers that the lawdoes not limit the number ot candi dates for any office. iLvery citizen who has a right to vote has a legal right to hold public office and all that it require i to put your name be fore th^ people is a five spot. From present indications it seems that defeated candidates will have plenty of company and if you make the effort and fail there will be plenty of neighbors in the same class to console you. There is a whole lot of excitemant in the game called politics and if you are fond of taking chances you will get your money's worth even if you are defeated. So don't be timid, gentlemen. All that is necessary is the entrance fee; yon will not be handicapped by any such rule as "three to enter, five to start." Neither does the management reserve the right to call off the race "onaccount of weather." August Kohn, the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, comments as follows on the facetious remarks of the press on the junketing trips of the general assembly: "It is a pity that there could not be more and longer trips ' oc this kind so that the representa ? ^ tives ot the people cou let b e thrown more directly in touch with the people of the different sections of the state. The Pee Dee territory, for instance, is a rich and prosperous section of South Carolina, but her needs, her industries, lur views, are largely different from those of the Piedmont s etion, and the very best way to get at facts and conditions and needs is tos-e for yourself." What Mr. Kohn says about the "rich" and "prosperous" Pec Dee is unquestionably true, and if the general assembly will take a day off and visit this section we are sure that every member of that distinguislul body will agree with Mr. Kohn. The Pee Dec section, as a whole, is one of the richest sections of the state, but the territory between the two rivers known as the "Ridge of the Pec Dees" is the garden spot of the earth. The fact is thi- particular section between the Pee Dees is so fertile that it onr legislative body should ever see it they would return to Columbia immediately and adopt Comptroller Jones' re.,....,.1.,.:.... ? ... iivuiiiwu iwi m iu;?; iiv.1 r>r?inert and lower levy on realty without a dissenting vote. The only thirty that is needed to make the Pee Dee section the greatest country in the world is enough cotton mills to manufacture into the finished product every pound of cotton grown on its fertile acres. Hut then the world will wake up sonic day anil finu out how great in natural resources the Pee Dee really is. Inct t\li tin* Sst^rintr imtPtnr\' published in the Lalta News, April 6th 1909. and republished in the Dillon Herald by request. All things are lovely now, Did you ever expect to see Dillon and Latta vow, A friendship "Etcrnalle". They have done the deed. And clasped each others, hand, Now they are forever freed From the bottling: plan. This is better to be sure, Than run a greater risk, Depending on theWoodberry cure Or any other legal twist. Hut since the deed is done. And all things seem so bright. Old Marion is the one Who asks us is it right? They say we lead her on To help us make the fight, And as soon as they began, Then Latta took a fright. She began looking at the gourd \nd then she began to tremble, There is danger upon my word. We must get out if we "dissemble". She saw the crooked line there. And Woodberry the "octupus" Her tentacles taking her where She would not be worth a ' 'cuss" Sc good bye to the ham bone, The boys and swamps and all, For we will be forever gone, Before the coming fall.
