J. C. March 3. 1910. - ( My kingdom for an office! cries the candidate. < From present indications it seems that Dillon is about the only county in the district that will not put out a candidate for congress. With an $1800 salary to pay the grocery bill and a new automobile for road inspection tours the supervisor of Dillon county will be "cock of the walk." In the readjustment of the four townships in Dillon county, known as Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, we suggest that one of thein be named "Pee Dee." This is a name of great historic value and it would be appropriate to either of the four townships through which the division line runs. We suggest to future historians and geographers that they drop the adjective "Big" when referring to Greater Pee Dee river and use the adjective "Little" when referring to the smaller river. The use of the adjectives when referring to both rivers is superfluous, and the distinction will be more complete when the two streams are referred to merely as "Pee L)ee River" and "Little Pee Dee River." It's a waste o f time and ink to give such long names to both rivers. That the Pee Dee country has entered upon the most prosperous area it has experienced since the close of the war is evidenced by the fact that a great majority of the farmers are paying cash for their fertilizers. Heretofore the cash discount on fertilizers has been so small that farmers did not find it profitable to borrow money at 8 per cent, in order to discount their fertilizer bills, but now the farmer who is out of debt and has a little surplus money is very wisely paying cash for what he buys, thereby saving more than he could realize if the money were loaned out to the banks at the usual 4 per cent. This is one year in the history of the country when the farmer is the lender instead of the borrower. The extraordinary yield of cotton in this section and the high prices it brought have reversed, the financial situation in so far as the relation of the banker and the farmer is concerned. O f course, how long such conditions will last depends largely on the present crop and the prices it will bring, buv never before in the history of the country has the outlook been quite so bright for a season of un precedeated prosperity, despite the operations of the iniquitous ] tariff law which has so greatly increased the cost of living. The press dispatches tell us of another "long-distance walker" 1 who is headed this way on his 1 journey around the globe. Of course ne is engaged in tile very laborious work of pushing a wheelbarrow which is covered with the usual illustrations from the spotting magazines, with here and { there an advertisement recom- , mending the use of certain break- < fast foods for strong and healthy ! persons who want t o become healthier and stronger. Another i feature of the show is the book 1 which the "long-distance walker? produces at every stepping place, i showing the/ signatures of the i postmasters and the autographs of 1 the mayors of the different towns | through which He has passed. ra? ' r PPIP^WP!'-1 ^WV?L" " : -aThey all have the same "sped" ibout the wager they have made to travel a certain distance in a stipulated time, one ot' the provisions being that they must leave home penniless and return with a certain amount of money, although they are denied the happy privilege of doing any physical labor to obtain financial assistance ivhilp rm thp innmpv Whpn thp "speel" i s finished, however, they do not neglect the important matter of passing around the hat which always receives a liberal contribution of dimes and quarters from a sympathetic street audience. Of course, the "long-distance walker" is nothing more or less than a clever "hobo" who finds it easier and more profitable to live on the credulity of the people than by performing physical labor for the necessaries of life, but the fact that this particular type of tramp seems to be on the increase indicates that the public has not yet discovered how easily it is being buncoed in the "long-distance walking" swindle. Every time one of these clever tramps approaches a mayor for his autograph he ought to give it to him at the bottom of a 30-day commitment to the chain gang where he could roll the wheel barrow to some practical advantage.
