^ Mr. Sherwood Declines.
J Mr. Editor: L noticed in a recent
' issue of the Lattu Observer that my
(. friends had announced me for the
office of County Supervisor. After
- thanking my friends for their con
J ' fidence in my ability to serve 1 ?i 1i
Ion county in the capacity of Supervisor
1 take this opportunity to
s respectfully decline to stand for
the position,
e Recently the voters declared the
i- present officers elect to be the
? choice of the people. If the present
s officers were the choice of the ptot
pie three months ago, 1 can truthr
fully say they are my choice now,
- and not only now but for the next
il twoyears i while I would say just
1- here that they were not all my
tt then but I believe in a majority rui
ilng and bow with submission to
e their choice.)
1 do not feel that ! am compet
, tent to suggest to the good people oi
f Dillon County, much less to advise,
n but it seems to me that we should
n by all means give them at least a
e chance to prove to us whether o**
i. not they are competent to fill the
i, several offices to which they were
'. elected, with honor to themselves,
d and to the satisfaction of the vor
ters of the County. Then if weigho
, ed in the balance and found want
' ing 1 would favor a new deal, but
s otherwise in standing for this office
d I would feel unjust to them and to
e myself. T. C. Sherwood,
r A Reply to the Chamber of Comd
' merre.
e | It is customerv and has been tor
ages for presidents of organizations
e and republics, kings, princes and
i- royalty in general, when speaking
k or writing, officially or in public,
n to use the pronoun "we" in refery
ence to themselves, and anything
l- contrary to this custom has never
d been known but once and that in
j Medieval history and that was when
i Louis the Magnificent Monarch of
a France, in the full sway of his luxd
1 uriant court and the blind adulaj_
tion of his flatterers and hired sycophants,
made the inane, silly and
d tyranical remark: "'I am monarch
y of all I survey." Could this egok
list have lived to sit on the ruins of
jf that magnificent empire and velwed
its destruction and downfall wroughi
e by that very policy by which it had
,s been erected and pursued by his
n descendants, it is possible that even
such an egoist as he would have regretted
ever having uttered such a
e vainglorious remark.
In this modern time it might be
e wen ior celebrities to remember
d .that "paths of glory lead but to the
s grave" for "all is vanity," sayeth
s the preacher. For the sake of
s clearness it might be well to exK
plain the difference between "I"
e and the "Chamber of Commerce."
t Fe instance what is the position of
."I," and for what does the Chaml_
ber of Commerce stand? In the
? movement for the extension of the
1
y tomn limits a short while ago what
position did the Chamber of C'omj
merce take and what position did
y "1" take? Is "I" the leader of the
e ,Chamber of Commerce? Can a peor
pie be greater than their leaders?
s Can an organization be greater than
0 its president? Can a movement of
e the people manifest more enthusiasn
than its natural leaders? Did "I"
or did "It" or whatever you please
v to call that unnamable organizaif
tion take an enthusiastic stand for
n that movement? Did "I" advocate
t it on the inside and dam it on the
g outside? Then *iow in the name of
common sense, duhl anyone, liowe
ever egotistic, expect the common
t laity or its underlings to carry forward
this tremenduous and all inie
pfrtant movement. Sush an undertaking
as this must have royal supe
port to carry it to success. it does
seem that "I" the Chamber of Comi_
merce. gave its orders to the memg
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
n "to gird up its loins and go forth
(I to do battle for the cause and bring
o back a report to me. "I" urged
s on them the importance of this
e great movement at least while 1"
y was in a public meeting. "I" ape
pointed n committee to take up the
. mattet* but they would not.
cried aloud in the Chamber of Com
e merce but they would not hear me.
r It would be much better in the
e future if "I" would work "per me"
a in promoting the Interest of the
e town "per se." The Chamber made
r one mistake in his writing and this
was he neglected to say in the
beginning "My Town" and thus In
has inadvertently left us the opportunity
to participate in the ownership
of the town at least, and w*.
are pleased to note that tlje privilege
remains to us to say "our
I town." For this small fav-ar w?
thank "Thee" and at thy royal
feet we humbly bow ourselves :mm!
await the pleasure of your most
high and mighty Majesty.

Political Press Agents.
In reference to some communication
published recently in your paper
1 ask for a little space. It is
said that the most important thing
for the success of a politician is a
good press agent, and that all big
politicians have their own private
secretaries for that purpose. It
seems that our newly elected county
officers have lost no time in learning
this important lesson, hut unlike
the l?ig politician, each having
his own private secretary, they
seem to have a syndicate or truss,
and employed one man to boom
them all, and this enterprising quill
driverdriver writes like a professional
boomer, but in his zeal to earn
both laurels and the "dough" he
seems to have little regard for the
facts or the truth. He may tickle
the vanity of the gentlemen whom
he serves, but a man who knows
the facts as every man in Dillon
county must know them, by experience
gained In the last primary.,
cannot he fooled bv ancient fable
wild assertions and rank political
flim flam. 1 was taught when a boy
that self-praise was half scandal,
but 1 supose all old time philosophy
is a back number in this day of
commercialism and graft, since politics
and big business have formed
a partnership for mutual benefit.
It is not my intention Mr. Editor to
make any charges in this article
aguinst any of our county officers,
and nothing that 1 say is intended
to reflect upon their private character.
I only wish to keep the record
straight. But if they find it
necessary so soon to blow their
own horn that is not my fault, and
if "Black .Joe'* had stuck to the
record there would. have been no
objection raised. But when he
shows an utter disregard for facts
and indulges in glaring falsehoods
and reckless statements, then it becomes
a matter of which all selfrespecting
citizens must take notice.
His first article in your paper
published in the guise of a
man from Lumber River on his
first visit to the county seat and
who was captivated by (he broad
smile of a little man on the corner
was so highly complimentary,
full of rank flattery that I regarded
it as a burlesque instead of an earnest
effort to boom "those candidates
who are seeking re-election, and being
no doubt elated at the success
of his first effort he comes back
with renewed energy and inspiration
and over the non-de-plume of Old
Black Joe he gave us in last week's
Herald what he no doubt regards
as an overwhelming argument in
' fable and in fact. But Mr. Editor
! how about the facts? By his own
assertions he invites investigation.
He says "we cannot overestimate
the ability of our present officers."
Besides if we should count up all
those who contributed to the great
result of winning our new county,
we would include every one of our
present officers." Then since they
have been loyal to us and since they
are loyal now we should keep them
another term. Mr. Editor what
does this plea mean? "Since they
have been loyal to us" isn't it a
confession of guilt? L)o they credit
the people with being dupes? Do
they hope thus to blot out the record?
By good future conduct they
may live down the fact but they
can never blot out the record.
It is true Mr. Editor that some
of them as well as many others
were loyal to us, not only loyal hut
earnest, faithful workers in season
and out of season, always on the
side of the people battling for their
rights, and to these worthy patriots
are due tin- everlasting gratitude of
of the people of Dillon county, al
though ili<> irony of fate seems for
the time to have retired many of
them to obscurity, they will yet he
recognized by the people and receive
the well done of the good and
faithful servant. But is a well
known fact that that some of the
gentlemen holding office i'n Dillon
county have never contributed one
i iota to \ielp win our new county, but
on the contrary they joined hands

sell round trip tickets from Dillon
at the following rates: To Wash- 1(

Trains to Mtilliiis.
Beginning August 15th. the X. A- st
S. C. railroad will operate trains w
through to Mullins. This announ- n
cement was made by the Company v
in a letter to the railroad eommis- s<
sionets Thursday. The schedule
between Dillon and Hamlet will be
shortened and the trains will leave
here later in the morning and eventi
ing. The rail between Mullins
and Dillon is heavier than the rail
between Dillon and Hamlet and this
will permit trains to run on a fasttl
er schedule between Dillon and
Mullins than was maintained between
Dillon and Hamlet when the ?
road was first opened. Work on J
s<
tne depot at Mullins will begin
litis week and it is very likely that ^
Mullins will get ahead of Dillon in
the matter of a depot. It is not
known when work will begin on the
depot at Dillon.
