A. JEL JORDAN . . . Editor
l>iLk>n, S. January li-. IJiUO.
An enterprising Dillon merchant
advertises in one "Automobiles
and accessories," and then just underneath
"Coffins and caskets."
Speculators are out alter me munri
and the fact that they stay in business
indicates that they are eettinc
it.
No favorite son for the presidency
apparently having bobbed up in Dillon
we are willing t0 vote for the
best van.
The patent medicine men must
band it to the moving picture fellow.
They are not in the class with the
movie men when it comes to writing
acare-heads for advertisements.
Individual fortunes in South Car
olina a^e getting so large that law-|
makers are considering some form
f inheritance tax for the protection
of the masses. But we are safe unti !
we b^in t0 break into the art col-(
lector class.
There may be nothing to it, but it's
a pretty easy-going individual who
doesn't think about that hundred mil.
lion Mr. Rockefeller gave away, every
time he pays that 2 cents increase
in the price of gasoline. - i
It is alright for the government tc
" bend its energies toward rounding up
the reds, but what about the profit
eers? With 14 month's peace and
production at its full capacity flour
is selling at $17 a barrel and butter
at 90 cents a pound! The worst type
of red is the individual who profits!
on the sufferings of humanity.
!
A'close friend and associate of
Herbert Hoover says Mr. Hoover!
"will never allow himself to he a
candidate for president nor allow his
friends to make an effort in his behalf
unless there shall come such indisputable
evidence of such spontaneons
and universal popular demand
that it will overwhelm his present
resolution not to enter politics."
This is putting it pretty strong, but
why didn't Mr. Hoover's friend come
out with an emphatic "No!" and dismiss
the matter.
* CLUB BOOM FOR VETERANS.
One of Dillon's most urgent needs
is a club room for the Dillon county
boys who served in the world war.
The boys who went "over there" and
suffered hardships for the love of
country should have some place in the
county which they can call headquarters."
A room or several rooms
should be comfortably fitted up and
provided with good literature where j
the boys could gather and pass a(
pleasant evening or where visiting
veterans could go and feel at home.
We don't know whose duty it is to
begin this work. It is the duty of!
the community to provide such u
place, and we believe if the proper!
effort is made by some local organi-l
zation the citizens of the community i
will respond liberally in the way of ]
donations. The room should be pro-'
vided with a fire proof vault or safei
in which the complete records of
each soldier who saw service whether
at home or abroad can be filed and
preserved for the information of future
generations. Other towns are

TWO VIEWS OF THE DOLLAR.
The American dollar nowadays is
a peculiar piece of pocket furniture.
La the United States it has "shrunken
in value," until it requires considerably
more of them to "move the
mare" than it formerly did.
That's where the trouble lies. That's
why people are eternally chirping
about high prices.
And it is a perfectly honest and
legitimate chirp. The only way we can
let off steam over it is by constant
conversation.
But in Europe the American dollar
is worth entirely too much. /
foreigner has just as much trouble
in matching an American dollar at
he would have In climbing Mount
Ararat.
iLiai S WUJ' QU31UC? uicu UU<? V>
late referred frequently to the impossibility
of American firms doing on
overwhelming business in Europe, especially
on the continent.
That's why people in France are
buying German goods and people in
Germany buying French goods ?
their money is more equally matched.
An American $1 item when bought
by the French in Germany costs eight
cents In our money, whereas if bought
from the United States the same Item
will cost $2. Similar conditions exist
all over Europe.
A BAI) RAILROAD SITUATION. |
Congress is again "considering" i
the railroad problem and from all accounts
nothing particularly notewor-|
thy is being done or anticipated.
It is stated in a great many newspapers
that it is the will of the people
that the railroads be placed back in
private hands. Be this as it may, it
is clear that the immediate future
has in store an increase in freight
rates that will mean an additional taxon
the people amounting to at least
a billion dollars yearly.
How congress is to go about returning
the railroads to their owners
is still in abeyance, but it can be said
without much chance for argument;
that both the Cummins and the Esch'
1

tions of the population?probably ai
conclusive majority.
As one editor remarks pointedly?j
("neither bill pretends to deal with,
the fundamental evils of the Ameri-!
can railroad situation, which must'
I be removed before the people of the
United States can have efficient
transportation, whether control is in
the hands of the government or private
owners,, The purpose of both
bills is to protect the private owners
|of the railroads against any possible
loss at the expense of the remainder
jof the people of the United States?
farmers, manufacturers, merchants
and Workmen."
Thp two bills are in conference and
one or the other, or a compromise,
seems sure to pass before March 1,
the date set by the president for the
return of the roads to private owners.

To the citizens of Dillon and
I friends of this community: White
and colored, especially the white people
who are interested in the literate
condition of the people, and know tfe
effect that illiteracy has upon the
masses as a disturbing factor and a
great hindrance to the real progress
of mankind everywhere; and who
know that education without a stimlus
to action is of little service, and
that it sometimes proves to be a
curse rather than a blesing; it is to
you that we make this, our second
appeal, asking you to help us, as we
try to help ourselves in the betterment
of our condition an^ that of the
entire county and state by making
better neighbors of our boys and
girls, by the training we are endeavoring
to give them at this school. Our
aim is not only to teach them how to
work, but also to teach them the dignity
of it.
We need at least $5000 to put in
such equipments as are now needed
to open up the departments of carnontrv
chnomglrintr r?r?r*lrinPr anri npr
iculture.
We incite everybody to come over
and see what we are doing. We feel
that if you come down and look into
the earnest faces of our boys and
girls, and see the great zeal that
characterizes our faithful teachers,
you will not hesitate to give a few
hundred dollars, in consideration of
the help it will render you and the
valuable returns it will bring to you
and your children Ki a short time.
Please do not fail to help us some.
Everybody owes it to this Dillon colored
enterprise for human improvement.

wife. Matthews has a mother living
here.

MAY DECLAItE PEACE.
Unable to Agi-ee on Peace Treaty
Semite May Declare Peace.
Washington, Jan. 2U?Possibility
of the introduction in congress of a
joint or concurrent resolution declaring
the war with Germany at an
end loomed tonight following a sharp
break in the compromise conference
which has been trying to adjust disagreements
between Republican: and
Democratic senators as to the wording
of the Lodge resolutions.
The assertion of President Wilson
that he was willing t0 submit the
question of the adoption of the peace
treaty with the league of nations to a
vote of the people, which has been
approved by Senator Johnson of California,
and other political opponents
of the administration has led some
to believe that this may perhaps be
the best solution of the treaty controversy.
In the meantime, it is pointed out,
someming snouia oe aone iu siauiu^e
trade relations with Germany while
I the treaty issue is still undecided and
a resolution declaring the war at an
end is one remedy which has been
considered by both sides in the controversy.

GRAVE DANGER IN ^
SUDDEN ATTACKS.
So long as we can see enemies we
can prepare a counter attack and
stand a fair chance to ward off their A
evil intentions. When terror walks %
at night and strikes a stealthy blow,
its victim is an easy prey and has no
defense. The only real measure of
preparedness is to be ready for the
danger at all times.
The thousands upon thousands ofv^/
people who suffer day after day with v
disorders of the blood, stomach, liver \
and kidneys are fighting against am
unseen enemy, who ma y strike at
any moment without warning, and
human life must 6e the forfeit.
These disorders are '"but the beginnings
of serious illness and if neglected
will lead to fatal results.
If you are suffering f rom indigestion,
rundown condition, constipation,
billiopsness, impure blood, liver or
kidney trouble you may become an
early victim.
According to the testimony of
thousands who have taken El Vigor,
it has n0 equal in the treatment of aA
these disorders. Prepare yourself to V
resist the attack of disease by taking ^
El Vigor.
El Vigor is s old in Dillon by the
McLaurin Drug Co.?Adv.lt.
We often are set t0 wondering what
the last bottle of booze will be worth.
