Dillon, S. C\. May 9, 1918. VATKIOTISM IN THH COUNTRY. Big city papers have constantly **nrUjavored to get their readers to toelieve that folks in the country and t-he small towns are less patriotic than in the cities. But what are the facts? The country and small town districts have produced more voluntary enlistments to both the army and navy than the big cities, based on population. The rural districts have bought more thrift stamps and bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, based on quotas. Country people hare made more business sacrifices than the business folk in the cities, in that the men who go to war from the country must leave the most essential industry in the world?that of producing food. The rural population has sacrificed profits by raising crops stipulated by tjhe government when in fact certain ' other crops, just as easy if not eas- i ier to raise, bring more profits. jl The country districts have not , profiteered, as lias been the case witli so many industries in the cities. In fighting, loyalty and sacrifice the country districts and the small I towns have siiown the way. Slarkerism and shirking is really ' only fniimJ in the large cities. ' t ( Charleston is having its troubles i with the pro-German. Two of its *'citizens have been convicted in : lower courts for disloyalty to the 1 government but that does not seem i.t) have had the desired effect. I'ro- . Onrmanism is so strong in the city , J hat the organization of vigilance eonr.uittees, composed of the best ] , i izetis. is being urged. There are men in Charleston who came over j Tom Germany as poor boys and massed comfortable fortunes whose, i-onduct is not above suspicion.l These men are indebted to the' I'nited Stales for what they havej ind what they are, and they should : t>? poievho'l severely for any disloy- ' ,4} mis or utterances against the, go 1 ?nt A Columbia citizen who received injuries from a severe fall as the result nl stepping on a banana peel has Drought suit against the city for damrr.es, anil the Greenwood Journal is moved to warn all towns to enforce more rigidly the ordinance against throwing banana peelings on the sidewalks. And The Herald wants *e add that any person so indifferent to the safety of the public as to throw banana peelings on the sidewalk should t>" sent to the chain . ii,': riv.. are some folks in or mound I'd'; who till"".'

He ^I r Iiitt am !ba< ant 'ton j POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT It is a noteworthy fact that th r, Overman bill, which gives the Pres ideal power to coordinate and con _ soliduie the executive departments 1 lias been valiantly upheld in th b Senate by Democrats and Republi p cans. The recent voting in Congres; clearly indicates to the country tha 1 that body is willing to back the Pres f ident to the limit in the conduct o i the war. 1 It would have been possible fo; 1 Republicans in Congress to joii . disaffected Democrats and thus de I feat the Overman bill?probably - But as a rule they did the reverse. ? This is rather refreshing after th? | seige of disagreement we have hat ; among our public men. It indicate! [ that we as a nation are beginninf i to realize that It will be harder tc win the war if we quarrel among , ourselves, even though it be over politics. The feeling now seems to be thai the President needs the power that is to be given to him; and Republicans and Democrats join in conferring i the power?and the responsibility. This is rather refreshing after the the undotted "i's" and the uncrossed "t's". The national interest de| mands cohesion. The county convention is in favor of abolishing the county campaign because there is so much work to do. Surely this does not mean man |ual labor? i . " We are wondering if the clerk at lthe Pine Forest Inn who heard Keenan, the Boston man making disloyal remarks, will hold hi? ^ob much ' longer. For the next few weeks Dillon county farmers will not be so mucJi interested iu what Gen. Focli is going to do as what Gen. Green is doing. I If Mr. .VlcAdoo gets his thousand or more locomotives delivered by July the firist we hope he will tell the country how he managed it. I There is not much danger of an air raid over Dilloa if the Hun will listen to some our bird hunters a few minutes. You can disagree with a man religiously and keep his friendship but if you disagree with him politically you lose it.
