Dillon i?eral& 3* Dillon, S. C.f April 22, 1920. This is not only a presidential year, .but it also is a candidatial year. Baseball, politics and weather make a fearful combination. Hoke Smith got it where his kind usually get it?in the neck. Many a man nowadays, instead of v running into debt, motors his way into it. Anyone can tell where a road needs fixng, but few can indicate where the money is coming from. Newspapers are getting through the mails with the speed of a snail fleeing from a rain storm. It appears that Germany has been at war with the United States senate longer than with anybody else. What happens to the average lawbreaker is that he doesn't get enough law hung on him when lie breaks it. If it were assured that every woman would vote the same ticket as her husband tlflere would be little objection to her ballot rights. It is said that President Wilson rather enjoys seeing the senate squirm. That probably is his way of getting oven with it. As for the President, all will agree that with his health back he will know how to enjoy life mntnrlnir onrt cnlfinc nnrl will Tint allow such measly things as politics and senatorial arguments t6 affect his eye on the golf course nor interfere with his relish of the smooth ' motoring roads around Washington. It is stated by the superficial that some day the railroads will become nothing more than accessories to a highly organized motor truck service. This of course is all bosh. It was a few years ago when electricity was ^to put the railroads out of business so far as steam propulsion was concerned, but except for the electrification of mountain stretches far removed from coal resources, and the use of electricity for suburban service, it is evident that the good old steam kettles on wheels will remain * our most economical method of long distance transportation. MILITARY TRAINING UNPOPULAR Congress has ceased to regard the possibility of making laws for compul-! aory military training of our youths. This subject, which was kept in the forefront for many months, has been definitely dropped for the present term. Probably the unpopularity of .the scheme weighed on the minds of congressmen, who feared that such a law would have a tendency to affect v votes. It was pointed out from the time ?UI IUO AIil>lBUC0 111AV CU? luo well WM .fought to eliminate militarism, it would be rather astonishing to have a species of militarism foisted upon 'the nation after the war's victorious conclusion. The supposition that preparedness for war is a preventative of war apparently has not made much of an impression upon the majority 'Of citizens. Germany was better prepared than any other nation for war, and all its great preparedness did was to encourage and provoke a war. "There is only one way to prevent wars, and that is for all nations not to have the tools of war handy; but as this is nearly too much to expect at this time in this world of suspicion, rivalry and jealousies, the next best plan is to keep the war-making establishments down to the minimum deemed necessary. The argument that compulsory military training in peace would merely .be' an entering wedge into schemes for greater and more extended methods, even suggesting militarism, was a potent factor in making th0 plan unpopular among the people as a whole, though the scheme manifestly Jaad plenty of defenders among a certain class of metropolitan newspapers -and magazines.

VELVET BEANS >IAJv6" Clemson College, April 20? Here is a good example of the value of velvet beans for pasturing hogs and cattle. County Agent R. H. Lemmon reports that he visited one of his young farmers recently, and noticing his hogs looking so fat, asked him what he had been feeding them on. The farmer replied that he had just taken them out of .a field of Osceola velvet beans where they had been grazing since last October. "I have not fed them anything since last October,'' said the young farmer, "and I have saved enough corn to sell to pay for the wire which I put around the field." Besides the? 8 hogs, 10 head of cattle had been grazed on the 8 acres of beans practically all winter. When asked if he thought that the beans injuried his corn yield very much he said that he m^de last year the largest corn crop he had ever .made. Fifteen bushels of velvet beans for seed were gathered out of the same field before it was grazed. o Card of Thanks. Editor Dillon Herald:?Please allow us space in your valuable paper to express our sincere gratitude to the good people of Dillon f9r the great kindness sho^n us during the recent sorrow and bereavement through which we have pasfced. We are indebted to the whole community and words are inadequate to express our real feelings. Sincerely, Mrs. J. W. Dillon and Children. o New Enterprises for Dillon? J The Herald is not in position to give details, but is learned on pretty good authority that Dillon will have two enterprises in the near future: A fertilizer mixing plant and a re-dryjing plant. These are two enterprises that Dillon needs very much. o A MERCILESS JUDGE. . One Who Shows No Favor. A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the wanting go to the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement fro a Dillon resident has withstood this sternest of all tests. C. E Peck, Dillon, gave the following statement December 21, 1914: "My kidneys were out of order and I had dull pains in the small of my back. I was so sore and lame I could hardly bend and it was just as hard to straighten. I had headaches and spells of dizziness. The secretions passed irregularly and I had other symptoms of kidney trouble. I read jof Doan's Kidney Pills and after using them as directed soon got relief from my trouble. I keep Doan's on hand now and when a kidney medicine is needed they never fail to give good results." LASTING BENEFIT On January 29, 1918 Mr. Peck said: "I have had better health the last four years than I have ever had in my life. I give the credit to Doan's Kidney Pills as they gave me a cure four years ago. I am glad to confirm my statement of 1914." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. ?4 22 2t.
