t3br 3iUutt I|rral5; i Dillon, S. March 11, 1920. < i If it keeps up the wearing ot' old | clothes will be the prevailing style. j Mr. Ford has increased the price 11 of his. cars $50, but we haven't heard i ?.' Mr. Ford making any recent do- i nations. i tlmt \VP ( i nerp ib nu UUUU11U5 wim would have made a better showing 1 in the lust census if there had been i some way to keep those Mexicans 011 1 the other side of the border. A man with political ambitions ' doesn't make a good cabinet mem- ' ber, and probably that is why some 1 of them discovered they couldn't live ' on $12,000 a year. 1 Some of the big Sunday editions of the city newspapers are actually beginning to look as if an effort were made to save paper. Some of them don't go much over a hundred pages. Whenever a man dies and leaves money his enemies explain how he ] got it. But such evidence doesn't amount t0 much. The cash value of Dillon's two leading money crops last year?cotton and tobacco?was something over ten million dollars, or nearly $5000 per capita. Twenty years go the total de posits in all the banks or ine state did not exceed that amount. Opposition of labor to having the railroads back in private control suggests that the rail workers don't think the private companies will be as easy to convince regarding wage increases as has been the government. It is evident that Bill Bryan is still something of a figure in the Democratic party. Bill is going to have something to say at San Francisco and though he is no good hand at regular poker, he is going to have a few cards up his sleeve when the Frisco game starts. It is regrettable that the House Caw III lo Kill lilt? Ulll iu auicuu luv automobile law. The law, as It 1 stands, is a pernicious pi?ce of legislation. It deprives the owner of an 1 automobile the right to plead a single extenuating circumstance in a suit for damages, regardless of who * was driving the car when the damages were sustained. If a thief steals an automobile and does damage with ' it by striking the property or per- 1 son of another person the owner of the automobile must pay for the damage so done. The automobile can be attached and the costs taxed against b?ass?a???a i | The Fine id. w. i B ^ M w i At A. s ? X'HIS properl ?

IS izi 1 | ANY INF a is a _ a I a 1 a a a aaaaaaaaaaa it become a first lien regardless "r all other claims against it. If a iea1er sells an automobile and takes part cash and a mortgage for the balance !hc purchase money mortgage would become a second lien in the event of an attachment in a suit for damages. Therefore under the present law a first mortgage over au automobile is not a desirable piece of collateral, and many banks refuse to handle ?' But the worst feature of the law is th section which holds the owner of the car liable for damages regardless of who is driving the car when the damage is done. If a thief breaks into n house, steals a gun and does murder with it the law does not hold the owner of the gun responsible for the murder. Or if a horse runs wild and kills i child the parents of the child have 10 grounds for a suit for damage igainst the owner of the horse. T*present automobile law is a piece of :lass legislation. It was passed when there was considerable prejudice to the automobile?when it was looked upon as a pleasure vehicle. The atomobile has become an important factor in the business life of the world. It has found a place and it is tiere to stay. It is not entitled to jpecial privileges, but it deserves the same measure of protection as that enjoyed by any other legitimate institution that has its place in the world of commerce. IDLE LAND STILL IDLE. Despite the universal advance in the value of land, there are still millions of acres of idle tend in the country, a great part of which could 5e utilized for agricultural purposes, rhere was talk of a year ago of inducing returning soldiers to occupy It, but this movement has fallen flat ?* rtf ratnrnoH col- I in view ui iue auuu; u> ?.-v... ?? iiers to edge back into industrial life without upsetting our equilibrium. Some of the northern states are the most flagrant examples of what not to do about it. Minnesota, for instance, still has over 5,000,000 acres of idle land, though nearly 2,000,000 acres of reclaimed land are in use in that state. Wisconsin is another state that has more than its share of swamp lands, there being over 2.000,000. Nearly half a million acres have been reclaimed. Michigan is worse off than Wisconsin, but shows an improvement in reclaimed land under the plow. It is a fact that millions of dollars are being spent for the purchase of improved farms. If the same sum were put into reclaiming swamp lands there would be opportunity for a marvelous increase in production of foodstuffs.
