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

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

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.
