It would be a big saving in dollars and cents if several hundred Dillon county men Hi , wquld follow their example. The citfaeni of the county are losing thous. and* of dollars every year in wasted energy and wear and tear on stock <?d ajid vehicles. t:( ne n; Has Dillon's street committee gone^*" on a strike? A few nights ago several.ap Dillon gentlemen were discussing the deplorable condition of the city's streets and one gentlemen ventured ^ the remark that an automobile tuf- th fered more damage on a mile of Dil- ce Son's main street than it would suffer em 75 miles of good road. Another gentleman in thlf party wto drives an >;( automobile down Main street several times a day said would conrfibute *10 to a fund to drag Main street and then feel that he was making a good j,. investment. The city's street commit-.fir tee is charged with the duty of keep- tri mg the streets in reasonably good re. ^ pair, but it is claimed that nothing ^ has been done to improve the greets since the present administration hat thi heen in office. The Dillon people are thl i>ng suffering?they have been pa"c ? ?
