The most remarkable thing about j fbe use of motor cars in such numbers j as is ihe case at the present time, is' thai there are not more accidents. Most autoists must be mighty careful; it is only the exception that causes the troubleSince that Texas oil boom started local gasoline users are not afraid that the end? of the world is nigh? said end being synonymous with the playing out of sufficient oil to propel the many merry carts cavorting along our highways. The immense revenue that prohi biLioB causes states to lose is sun m; the country. It will require additional taxes or higher valuation to get the revenue under a dry regime. "Worst of it or perhapaps the joke of it?is that the wets will have to help fool the increased axation. * BROADWAY AND THE DilY WAVE If there is one street we know all about It is Broadway, N. Y. The moving picture industry sees to it that all the attractions we see have had a run 011 Broadway, which we have been led to believe is the center of frivolity of this continent. The prohibition law has surely hit ft hard. It isn't the same old street. Bayers from Dillon going to New York to lay in a stock of goods and incidentally partake of the pleasures or Broadway will never find it the same. One of the outstanding results has been that there are fewer and practically all of them quit running at Ilbi. THE CASE AGAINST ARTIFICIAL PRICES. That a combination?at least in effect or by "gentleman's agreement" ?exists whereby prices of table necessities are kept at the highest possible figure, is not doubted by the average person. Rut there also is plenty of food ?n the storage houses, plenty of it doesirt come to market in the first place; there are plenty of middlemen who are financially interested in maintaining artificial prices and pull the rppes tccordingly. AX INDIFFERENT CONGRESS. In spite of the fact that since the war ended Americans have been coo froBlod with what appears as unjustified high prices of foodstuffs. Congress has been remarkably indiffer- j 33?. Attention has been given to ev?r7.uhiDg but the high cost of living. Nat that anybody suffers front the delusion that a congressional investigation amounts to anythings?there have been a great many of them in the past but the evils that they were supposed to correct are still with us. The only thing that congressmen bave done in respect to high cost has been to regulate rents in Washington City?an evil from which they themselves suffered. /Attention Presbyterians. ldr.

W"*m ^mamm Kind Words Appreciated. |< Vorkville Enquirer: ! A. 13. Jordan, of Dillon, is being: urged to make the race for congress ' for the unexpired term of Congress- 1 man Ragsdale, deceased. As to.1 whether Mr. Jordan has secured his) ov. n consent to become a candidate i; I The Enquirer has not yet been advis-j1 ed. There is no question, however, that Mr. Jordan is a man of full congressional size. He is a man of charac ter and ability, well able to hold tils | own with the best of them along ' whatever line his duties may indicatei1 and if he is sent to congress he wii1 be a credit to his state, his district; and himself. 1 (These kind words from Editor Grist whom we have always regarded 1 as one of the state's ablest and best 1 informed newspaper men are great- : lv appreciated.) : ? j E. J. SHERWOOD OK HORRY AX- j XOl'XCES FOR CONGRESS. I Prnioising Young Attorney of "Indepedent Republic" and Former ' Dillon County Man is in in the Race. Mr. Sherwood was born in the Little Rock section of what was then ' county, but which is now Dillon county, 37 years ag.i. His father, T. C. Sherwood, is one of Dillon coun ty's most influential farmers. After , the completion of his college education, he moved to Horry county at the age of twenty-two years to become private secretary to the then Congress ^ man of he Sixth Congressional District, Hon. Robt. B. Scarborough, but because of the failure of Mr. Scarborough to stand for re-election in the summer of 1914, Mr. Sherwood remained in the law offices of Mr. Scarborough, under whom he read law for a number of years. While he was still with Mr. Scarborough, in the fall of 1905, he assumed the Editorship of The Field, a local paper at Conway, and continued as its Editor until the fall of 1911, when his lifelong yearning to practice law result ed in tils determination to complete his legal education and devote hit time to the practice law. And, notwithstanding that he was then Hearing his 30th birthday, and had * wife and one child, he burned the bridges behind him and entered the law school of the University of South Carolina, where he remained until December 1912, when he was admit- " ted to the practice of law by the Supreme Court of South Carolina since which time he has devoted his time exclusively to the practice of the profession, at Conway. During the summer of 1912, when State politics wa9 at its highest heat, . Mr. Sherwood yielded to the suggestion of his Horry friends and entered the race for the House of Representatives. Nothwithstanding that there was nine candidates in the field, all of whom were native born Korryites, and that the political lines were tightly drawn, he was elected b> a handsome majority, and served ' one term in the lower house, as Horry's Representative, at the end of which time he voluntairly retired. Upon the convening of the Legislature in February of 1913, Mr. Sherwood was appointed by Speaker of the House, Hon. Mendal L. Smith, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, nothwithstanding that he ha' been licensed to practice law only about wo monhs, and on this committee he served with two of the pres W - ?~ _ m A 1 TT C* n./sn/t em mtriiiufis ui iuc u. o. ^ungicss, . to wit, Hop.. W. F. Stevenson. Congressman from the Fifth District, and Hon. R. S. Whaley, Congressman from Charleston, also Hon. C. C. Wvche, Asst. U. S. Dist. Attorney, for Western District of South Carolina, and other notables. / Mr. Sherwood's campaign was pitched on a very high plain, and reflected his past teachings as Editor * of the paper of clean politics and efficiency in office. After his retirement from politics, in the spring of 1914 he was, without opposition elected as Horry's County's Democratic Chairman, which position he now holds, and which fact evidences the confidence for fair dealing in which he was held by both factions of the county . notwithstanding he had always been outspoken and positive in his prefer- r OIL MILLS and C We Lave a large stock of plete with frame by Hou cotton trucks.
