fbr Silliut ^pralb jm. a. JOKDAN Editor Dillon, S. C., May 22, 1918. ' I The world is no longer safe for ae- , mocracy with cheap automobiles ( scooting around. i ( As the demand for water will be so much greater after July 1st, wouddn't be surprised if the price ( went up. i it is said that the average miik bottle makes only seventeen trips before it is broken or lost. That's about long enough to go unwashed. The time is soon here when we will beat a sword into a plowshare and change a distillery or brewery into an ice cream factory. The main trouble with a Bolshevik is that he professes to believe in somesort of democracy but doesn't want to submit to the will of the majority.! The way to prevent autoists from violating the speed laws is to "soak" i era" when they're arrested. And a: little picayune fine isn't much of a "soak." j ? !. The time is soon here when folks! 11 who live inland will take their va- j eations at the seashore and those j* living near the seashor^ will take 1 theirs inland. 1 Evidently Mr. Burleson doesn't ] care what the papers say about him. 1 Still, wherever he goes the editors ? run his picture in their papers and try to make out the> like it. c The story is told of a bottle of c whiskey saving the life of a man in t / an automobile wreck But?if he [ hadn't partaken of the whiskey he j wouldn't have been in the wreck. i e Some of our farmers still let their t high-priced agricultural machinery ( lie about the fields unprotected front . the weather. We have never yet seen j them treat an automobile that way, ( however. j ( We'll bet nine men out of ten ia * the country didn't know that Secre- i" tary of State Lansing was among the f American peace delegates. The way, Mr. Lansing has kept in the back-. ground leads to the presumption he doesn't intend to be a candidate for the presidential nomination. I Quite a number of states at least 1 ' threaten to pass a state income tax ' law similar to the one recently pass-1} ed in New York. The Empire State 2 law will produce J50.000.000 a year J t revenue. The man who pays the tax (t merely adds it to the cost of living^ ?or the cost of doing business. In \ the end all taxes and increased costs ( are paid in full by the innocent acd'c harmless consumer, who gets soaked 1 I so often that he must begin to like c * .1: In spite of the tax trouble in which c many cities are wallowing, there are i some notable exceptions. One of these j is Akron, O. While a large number i i of the cities of Ohio are wondering r where to get the money to make up for the loss of liquor license revenue J when the state goes dry May 24, the world's tire center has a surplus.' Nothing on earth did it except good s financial management. No city need be hard up if politicians are not per- a mitted to waste the people's money. Akron has more to show for its expenditures than most cities that are ( are nearly broke. I ft developed recently that John D. Rockefell.r and the Carnegie Corpor- v I at ion weie the largest contribu:ors , to tlie Xuiioaal Security League. The/ aim of the leagui was oster.sV.iY ? "prepai eunos. inn t: tin lY J league was most active nobo ly vyA pected thai our leading rich m .pf or his son, ihe dispatches ..ot ini/ .^ tliis clear?backed the organization c with their unlimited cash. In judging j such an organization it is always well c to know who is backing it; but c whether the backing of the Rocke-r r fellers is a recommendation or a detriment of course will remain a mat- | ter of private opinion. g MEMORIAL DAY AXI) THE WORLD WAR VETS. All over the country, where Me-' morial Day parades are held this tear, veterans of the World War will march with the living survivors Df the War Between the States. I This is as it should be. The men if the Civil War fought for a colossal iomestic causp that effectually j :hreatened to tear the heart-stringsi iut of the nation; as completely; in ;'act, as the World -War slashed at ;he vitals of civilization. The hand of the Almighty guided :he destiny of the nation in the six- j ies?at this day North and South is [ i unit in this belief. The proof is that the same hand if the Almighty used the nation that .urvived the awful chaos of the sixlies to preserve the rights of man and he foundations of civilization half a % jentury later. It was not written in the stars that he Hohenzollern militaiy ruleship should enslave the world; and both he men of the sixties, who moulded he destiny of our nation and settled i controversy that sooner or later voitld have disrupted it, and the men >f 1918, who rightly applied their lpritae-p of ronraee and oower to en ich the world?both these were the ools of that Almighty hand that iquelched the Hell of Hohenzollernsiu. Had the men of the sixties not ought, who will say that the men of 1918 could have guided the fate of, he world at St. Mihiel and the Ar-| I jonne? The cotton planters are getting lown to business. The New Orleans convention has worked out plans for rganiztng a $100,000,000 cotton ex>ort financing corporation, and if the )lans go through the south will in i measure be able to control its greatest money crop. Five or ten years ago he organization of such a gigantic corporation would have been an imjossible task The money could not lave been raised. But there is a vast iifference in the financial condition )f the south today and five o: ten ears ago. The south is out o? debt. Millions of dollars worth of mort ;ages held by money lenders in the! lorth have been lifted, and the aniu?l interest the south has been payng on these loans will more than offset the aggregate amount that must >e raised to finance the cotton cor>oration. As Senator Smith well said it the New Orleans convention "for >0 years we have Lved under a cloud. S~e were robbed of capital and credit, ifter the war between the states. But hey could not rob us of the spirit hat has always characterized the vhite man of the south. Let us say .his is the army of emancipation. fit Jive the farmer a chance so that he lan finance his own crop. When you lave done that you will have eman:ipated the south." If the cotton ex>ort financing corporation is conduct>d along the right lines it will eman ipate the south. Not only will it lelp the farmer to market his crop gradually but it will enable him to iold it until he can get a legitimate >rofit above the cost of production. o Parent-Teachers' Association.

Secetary and Treasury were elected md a committee on arrangements ap>ointed. It was ordered that a call >e sent oilt for a meeting of soldiers, ailors and marines of Dillon county < for the purpose of forming an organization and electing officers for the same. Therefore, I, Otis M# Page, temporary chairman, acting in accordance with the orders of said meeting do hereby issue a cordial invitation to every soldier, sailor and marine of Dillon county to meet in the Court room, Dillon County Court House, on Decoration Day, Friday, May the 30, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. A majority of our comrades are back home; some will never come. An organization if it is no more than to aid in the perpetuation of their memories would not have been in vain. This invitation is extended to' veterans of all nationalities and races. Veterans of the Confederate Army and Navy are asked most cordially to meet with us.
