Dillon, S. C., October 8, 1919 |J
z?I]
Tlie country badly needs industrial
peace, but it seems to be hard to get <
interested parties to sign the armis-'i
tice.
For a man to commit bigamy with,;
prices at their present level must ne. i
cessarily cause one to admire his !
courage. * j'

The Anti-Salon League announces j
that it is going into politics. Some:
misguided folks in Dillon have been ]
of the opinion that it already has
been somewhat involved therein.
' STOCK SALESMEN.
i
There are entirely too many stock
salesmen in the country and they >
( seem to specialize on persons who
want to make a lot of money in a
hurry without working..
It is remarkable how frequently
the man or woman who accumulates
, a little money is so easily caught in 8
the snares of the gilt-tongued sales, f
man who has worthless securities to r
.market.
We have known of cases in Dillon t
county where stock was purchased in
concerns that a man with business 5
intelligence would know in a moment 1
would never pay dividends and in the t
end lead to a loss of the capital in- a
vested by suckers.
If there is anyone in Dillon county 1
willing and anxious to invest capital u
there are plenty of good bankers at a
hand to show them how to invest t
with safety. Anch remember, folks, t
safety is more important than any- o
thing else connected with the busi-; t
ness of lending, money. ? ^
MOKE BRICK HOUSES.
It is stated by brick manufacturers
that not enough persons in the United
States build brick houses. They say
so for self-evident reasons, but their
contentions as to lasting qualities
are'undoubtedly incontestable.
The ffcame house found in most
small cities could be improved upon,
and it is worthy of comment that in
such cities where there are both brick
and frame houses, the brick were In
many instances built 30 or 40 years
ago are still in good use, and if the
interior uxiugs nave oeen aepi up 10
date and modern, are as good as the
modern frame houses that are**constructed.
Of course, if owners lo not
keep up with the procession in the
addition of modern indoor improvements
there is a marked difference '
between the houses and those of more
I
recent building, so far as convenience
is concerned.
Brick manufacturers are beginning a
to learn why there are comparatively o
few brick houses built?lack of ad- ^
ertising, B

WHO BENEFITS Bl' GOOD ROADS? a
The old and ancient arguments as
to whom good roads benefit the most,
city or country .people, is perennially
to the fore. i
Improved highways benefits the j
rural and town dweller equally as i
far as bringing of products to nearby i
town markets is concerned. It is
hard to compute such a matter in
dollars and cents, or course, but it
is undoubtedly true that when trucks
can haul larger loads with three or
four times the speed than teams formerly
hauled them there is a saving
somewhere, and that this saving is
divided between farmer and consum.
er.
As far pleasure riding, the farmer
and town dweller benefit fro ma good
highway in the proportion that automobiles
are owned in city and
country. In many portions of the na
tion the farmers proportionately own |
more mac^nes than the people in |
Bfcjvj the cities. Where that is the case the i
[SgB owners of these machines, when they '
jgSpl are so inclined, get more benefits out '
of the roads even when pleasure rid- 1
WU ing only is considered than the city
folks do. On tl.e other hand, where |
proportionately more city people than
K country people own machines as is |
the case in the vicinity of large cities
where there frequently are no farms
at all, it is evident that roads in
adjoining counties give more benefit
to the city people using them than
the residents that live along them.
In the case of a county that is composed
of three.fourths rural residents
and one-fourth living in towns, the
rural residents will get the greatest
benefit from the good roads provided
they own proportionately to population
as many auto cars as the town
folks. And the reverse is true provid-;
ed they don't own proportionately as
many.
INDUSTRY, PRICES AND DISTRIBUTION
Industry must be kept going and
producing, else there will be chaos
{
and stagnation not only in this coun.
try, but in the world.
The future prosperity of the country
depends upon production and ai ?
tribuaon; curtailed production means
high prices; higher prices means cur-,
tailed distribution; curtailed distribution
means that the rank and fd*.
of persons will get less of the essentials
and luxuries to enjoy.
The worth while things o" life are'
no good to the world unless they
are used?hot by a few but by the
masses. Prohibitive prices effectual.
iy eliminate wide 'Strioution among:
he masses.
ROADBUILDING
MEET DEMANDS OF TRAFFIC
Construction of Freak Highways
Should Be Stopped?Permanency
Should Be Sought
J. J. Hin, in a speech In MInnetpolis,
January 23, 1910, said: "If the '
iroblem of the railroad terminals be
teglected for the next five years as
t has for the last ten, it will blight
(very form of activity by paralyzing
he whole trade."
W. C. Brown, president of the New
fork Central lines, said'November 5,
912: "If cars are kept in motion at
he average speed of freight trains at
it present time, they would make on
he average four times the mileage
hey do now. The trouble is the cars,
s a rule, are held longer to load and
inload thun the time involved in the !
ctual movement of the cars"?that is,
he terminal had the railroad by the
hroat and was choking three-quarters
f its efficiency out of It. The predlcion
of Hill was absolutely correct.
l period of acute congestion in raiload
transportation had already set in
? ?1
i/lotor Truck Adapted to Carrying
Farm Produce.
,nd would have gone to the bitter end
>f paralyzing every form of activity
md not the motor truck, which had
10 terminals, gone to the rescue. Now
t this time. May 1,1919, another thing
las got the motor truck by the throat
md Is choking three-quarters of its
jfflciency out of It.
This time It Is the dime museum
reak construction of our so-called
;ood roads, not by tying up the motor
ruck as the loeomotlVe was tied up
n the terminal, but by knockng
it and its trailers to pieces, thus
jutting short the life of the rolling ;
itock, as well as making it move 1
ilower and with not over one-quar- \
er of a load over the imperfect sur
aces, increasing the cost of raotortuck
transportation way beyond what
t ought to be for what the motor
ruck does, as well as limiting the
iraount it can do way down below the
ionnal, writes Frederic J. Nash, in
STew York World. Had these roads j
)een properly construuieu mry wuum
lave gone to the stock exchanges and
>een bought and sold there, like every
>ther kind of transportation securi:ies.
As it is. they have gone to pieces
ind left the bondholders, the states,
,'ounties and townships, their bonds on
heir hands and only a scrap heap of
sad roads to show for them. .These
freak roads, had they been offered on
the stock exchanges with only themselves
as security would not have sold
for one cent on the dollar. They are
built on the credit of the states, counties
and townships through which
they passed. This at the rate of two
hundred millions of dollars per year.
A speed of 150 miles an hour on the
beach at Daytona, Fla., was made last
Lincoln's birthday, a rate of speed
which the lbcomotive has never been
able to reach. Anything beyond a
three-ton truck load is more than a
freak highway can safely carry, while
the ordinary normal load of the freight
car on its railroad is 50 tons. If these
few things could be combined in the
highway?absence of terminals, a rate
of speed beyond that of the railroad,
a freight-carrying tonnage equal to
that of the railroad, a cost of *he upkeep
less than that of the railroad,
this would multiply our present means
of transportation seven or eight times
and give this country a prosperity during
the next dozen years such as we
have never even dreamed of. We
want to change our form of highway
construction over night and put our
highway securities on the stock exchanges
and not our highways on the
dump heap. Highway stocks and
bonds bused on the value of this properly-constructed
highway will pay a
\
I
*
higher rate of interest than the railways
ever have, for it will do much
' more work.
Good- Roads in Arizona.
i Assisted by national and forest
service appropriations, the state ol
Arizona and its 14 counties have started
upon a road improvement program
expected to consume at least $10,000,(00.
Bond Issue Is Answer.
| Few communities, except those having
large ciWes in them with a resulting
high valuation, can afford a modern
>?oiem of highways and pay sk
they go. The only otlter alternajtivi
is to issue bonds.
