*?hr Siliott tJjrralii Dillon, S. C., April 1, 1920. Even the simple life isn't as sim ple as it looks. This is i he time of year when th< new spring hats exert a powerful in fluence upon the pocket book. Admiral Sims talks like a man wh< is mad because they didn't give hin all the credit for winning the war. Now that they are going to tak< off the "Winter Special" the train that carry mail and express ought t( look up and take hope. If the officials can run the "Win ter Special" right on the minute, wh; the delay in the trains that carry sucl essentials as mail and express? Plumbers in Birmingham, Ala. have been granted 112 a day, and th costs will be passed on to the public And it doesn't even require a colleg education to be a plumber. . It is said that a town ought to hav five times as many inhabitants a there are children enrolled in it public schools. If this is correct th census figures will give Dillon some a-Vi ? A A A iuiu& uvci wvu. A little work makes a wonderfu Improvement, as those who trave the river road will testify. A fe\ day's work has made this one of th best roads in the county?and fo months it was the worst. The price of cotton is supposed t< be regulated by the law of supply an( demand, but nevertheless the futur market advanced 50 points Monda; on account of the tornado that swep over Georgia. Will somebody pleas tell us how much the tornado dam aged the Georgia crop? Movies do not hurt the eyes, say an eminent eye specialist, but if th' ejes of folks smart when in screei theatrers, it is a sign that the eye need attention. Sounds like a boos for eye doctors. The Dillon county delegation in th ereneral assembly did a good day' work for their constituents whei they gave their support to the nieas ure which practically assures th building of a bridge across Big Pe Dee. Dillon county will receive bii dividends o? the money it invests ii the enterprise I A SOVIET FAILURE. For two years Premier Lenine, au tocrat of soviet Russia, has attemptei to run a country without capital. H now confesses failure by sending t bankers and manufacturers of Amer ica an invitation to make investment in Russia, pledging them security am ample profits. The dream that a country caa b run without capital, that private prop ' erty can be abolished, has ended. Th Industry of Russia must be reorganiz ed along "capitalistic" lines. Th Bolshevists are ready to guarante the sanctity of private property Capital is begged to come back. It cost considerable agony to Rus sia to prove the point. > STAY WITHIN THE LAW! Constitutional prohibition now i in effect throughout the Unite* States and its provinces. The follow ing on what may and may not b< done is based on interpretations- o the new law by government official, and recently made public: You can possess and drink intoxi eating liquor in your own home o the home of a friend where you are J bona fide guest. You can buy intoxicating liquor 01 a doctor's prescription?if the trans action is a bona fide medicinal one One person is limited to a pint ever; ten days. you can consider as your home an; rooms, hotel, apartment house, board ing house or club where you live per manently?not transiently. If yoi own more than one private dwelling you can drink and keep liquor ii each. You can keep liquor in any storag* room or locker of your hme, includ \ng 1'iuu, n me storage ruuui ui iwk er is for the exclusive use of yourself family and bona fide friends. You can get a permit to move youi liquor when you move your place o residence. You can manufacture, sell 01 transport liquor for non-beverage 01 sacremental purposes if you get i government permit to do so. You can not manufacture, sell barter, transport, import, deliver, ex port, furnish or possess intoxicatinf liquor for beverage purposes, ex cept that you can possess it in youi home. You can not storQ liquor In an] place except your own home. You cannot take liquor in package! to hotels or restaurants and drink ii in the public dining rooms. You can not carry a bottle undei your arm, a number of bottles in ? suitcase or a flask in your pocket You can not ship liquor for bev erage use The law defines liquor as any bev erage containing one-half of 1 pei cent or more of alcohol by volume It exempts alcoholic patent medicines toilet articles, perfumes and flavor ings extracts unfit for beverage use THE WETS -NOT ASLEEP. ' i -\o, the wets of the country have not given ip the fight. Perhaps tliey are with their backs to the wail ?they will admit mat much?but they are not entirely vanquished. John Barleycorn is not a corpse so dead that the undertaker must get him. He is only paralyzed and his friends hope lie will recover sufficiently to get around. 3 ti, nnint is the wets are basing. i ***e * ?> their last ditch fight on the principle of state's rights. They are before e the Supreme Court with the claim s that states should be permitted to o regulate the quantity of alcohol liquor might contain within their borders. .1 Perhaps, they say, the government v can regulate what passes between the j states, but the states should have the right to determine the strength of j the spirits made and sold within J their borders, g The indications are that this will j be a big issue in the democratic and " republican conventions to be held this year. Leaders in both parties are divided on the issue. Some of the democratic leaders are afraid ths repub? licans will adopt a wet plank of liberal proportions and others are e afraid they won't. The same may be s said of the leaders in the republican party in their attitude toward the jdemociatic party. 1 According to the Literary Digest, .j which has made a careful survey of r the political field, the issue will be e put squarely up to the voters in ev? ,-lery state in the union This forecast j is borne out by the fact that for the I first time in many years prohibition 0'will be an issue in South Carolina j politics. e Solicitor Warren of the 14th circuit has announced that he will be a tl candidate for the United States Senate, and will advocate amending the . I prohibition laws so as to allow each j state to say for itself what percentage of alcohol the beverages sold s! within its borders should contain. ej And there is some consolation in ^jthe reflection that if the wets are s successful it will mean nearer-beer t'than any before served in the states j permitting its sale. o Debate Friday Xiglit. e,' ?s Several years ago a Debating Leaa gue was organized by the high !-'schools of South Carolina. This year e'a large number of high schools will e participate in discussing the query: . "Resolved. That the Federal GovernQ ment should own and operate the railroads." The first round to determine what school will represent this district at | the finals to be held at the State UnJ iversity the latter part of April will i- take place Friday, April 2.
