JJkillan, S. C., January 1, 1920.
^Inou time to swear off something
At* jdher.
Laws made in a hurry are usually
broken at leisure.
Let's make of 1920 an improved
trade at home year.
Here's where we resolve never to
pull another boner.
.Merchants in Dillon say they didn't
ae? any toys made in Germany this
year.
1920 may be all right but it's going/o
be a presidential year, which
is t^ie next thing to having a war.
-Now that the Chicago packers have
<tecided to stick to the meat business,
wh? are we going to blame for the
H. C. L.?
If peace on earth is supposed to endure
forever from henceforth, why
are there so many dreadnoughts being
built?
The drys say more workhouses are
closing up all along, but the wets retort
that the insane asylums are getting
crowded. *
Another thing not to overlook:
January 16 is getting mighty close.'
11 will be a fatal day for old John J
Barleycorn. It is doubtful?very, very j
doubtful?if the old gent will ever;
recover and the folks on the mourners"
WTtches hereabouts are resolved
to face the future with fond memories
and little more.

Dillon expects to progress the coming
year, and in order to bring this
about every person in the community
must join the progress party.
And Just to think, fifty years from
now people will know just as much
about John Barleycorn as they now
d0 of the civil war.
A politician thinks others are doing
nothing else but think politics, when
as a matter of fact that is the last
thing the normal individual think:
about.
I'KOHIKITIO.N AM) THE PEA' K
TREATY.
It has gone practically unnoticed ,
that inasmuch as congress is notor-j
iously dry in sentiment, the peace
treaty has had an additonal reason for
not being accepted. It has not altogether
been a political issue between
the president and opponents of the
treaty, but prohibition has had something
t0 do with it.
If the pea?^ treaty had hec 1 ratii?e
1 i? woe! I have meant an ud to
war-tlmo p:o...bition befor: J innary
16, when the federal amendment beet.mes
effective. Our dry congress has
been in no mod to let a period of wetness
arise between the official end of
[the war and January 16.
Thus the dry senate wrangled over
the treaty for a year, and as It wrangled
the country remained dry. President
Wilson tried to knock the props
from under the dry senate by declaring
the war time prohibition decree
ended some time ago. and likewise
vetoed the dry bill; but congress refused'
to concur and passed the bill
over his veto.
It is significant that a peace treaty
with Germany is t0 be passed shortly
after the new year, just about the
day when the federal prohibition
amendment becomes effective.

AS WE ENTER 1030. '
1
(
Dillon enters 19.20 fully convinced |
that it will be a period of high tide I
prosperity; and that the city will 1
share in the national blessings to the j
full capacity of its people t0 contribute
to the sum total of communal i
and national benefits. / i
But Dillon cannot expect to get
more out of 1920 than she puts into
it. The year will be one of achieve- !
ment only so far as the citizens of
the town exert themselves in that direction.
Not merely in commercial, business
and industrial matters, but in community
happiness as well, Dillon
should acquire a full measure of satisfaction
out of 1920. The year just
closing has been one of much unset-j
tlement, and it is doubtful if the industrial
and social unrest will linger
throughout 1920 to an appreciable
extent.
The year 1920 should be a "settling
down" year in more ways than
one. A series of unheavals have had
their fling and it is more than likely
that the nation will be satisfied to
attend to work and business during
me coming year, wun n. v-. l,. uunfully
rescinding from its present high
levels.
The only rift on the horizon is that
it will be a presidential year, with
promise of an unusually "hot time
politically."

N. V. Ix?ver Has Sad Experience With
South Carolina Girl.
To the Editor of The Robesonian: |
New things happen sometimes that,
reminds one of old things of the past.1
Some 25 years ago a young man
from l^arnett county was engaged to
be jnarried to a young lady in lower.
Robeson. The day for the marriage
was set and the home on the farm
was prepared for the reception of
the bride. The young fellow was j
able to own a Cadillac, perhaps, but
such a thing could not be bought at:
that time, so he drove down in a
top buggy, taking two clays to make:
the trip. Arriving at Limbertont he;
procured the license and drove 011 [
down toward the South Carolina line!
for a distance of 12 or 15 miles. He!
arrived a few hours ahead of the ap-!
pointed lime lor me umi I mge anu
was met with the announcement that
his intended wife had married an-!
other man the day before and that the
couple had gone to the State of
Georgia. He returned to Harnett
without asking for his license money
to be refunded.
The recent experience of a wellknown
Lumberton young map
brought the incident related baclt to
my mind. The young man from Lumberton
has been slipping off t0 South
Carolina to visit his girl, and, if reliable
reports are to be believed, he
expected to have some one to super-1
vise planting flowers in his garden

^en spring time came Vain. A. few
Sundays ago?not more than 3?-he
spent Sunday afternoon with her leaving
on the return trip fsrLumberton
about 8 o'clock in the evening, tiding
her goodbye (they were engaged;
it was not Improper for him to kiss
her, so I've been told.) About the
time he drove away in his car, another
car came up and in a short time
the young man driving it and tbe
Lumberton young man's girl went for
a ride. Upon their return the parents
of the girl were informed that
they had just been* married. The parents
were wroth as they favored
the Lumbertonian,-but it was too
late now.
I have been told that it is a fact
that the would be groom from North
Carolina did not know that his soutn r
Carolina girl had been married to j
another man until he eame over to ]
see her last Sunday.
. Only yesterday I saw a former ]
Lumbertorii-an down here in quest of (
lfcense to marry a Robenson county .
girl. He came for the license in the ;
morning and they were to return here
last night and be married. Both live
in Robeson, but he acted as though
they had good and sufficient reason
for leaving home to get married.

O'clock Stag Dinner. I
? V
On last Monday evening a few of
Mr. E. T. Thompson's friends enjoyed
a most delightful dinner party,
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. S. Thompson.
Among the guest there could be
found war veterans, business nften,
and a number of students representing
quite a few of tlje South-Eastern
Colleges. Mr. E. T. Thompson who
thoroughly understands a stags sentiments
on such a wonderful occasion,
kindly secured us within the walls of
a large and beautifully decorated dining
room. Here we had only one "passage
way, through which "Mike'' our
private butler, transported and then t
served each course with care, taking
time out for each, so that Mr. Hamp
ton Manning and the rest might recuperate
for the next quarter.
