Our dearly beloved Republican rrienas are toting a neavim su^yy I of tribulation than is a fair share for i single political party. The campaign of 1916 made it plain that the S. 0. P. can not get along without its share of the trans-Mississippi states In the electoral college, and gradually the party is awakening to the horror that if it would ?hold its share of the trans-Mississippi it must nominate a Progressive. Nor is that all. In reality there ire but two Progressive candidates for its nomination?Hiram Johnson ind Herbert Hoover. Wood a standpatter and Poindexter does not ittain to the class of the "also rans." tt need not astonish you, therefore, if in desperation the Republican national convention chooses Hoover as the. one candidate equipped to head j off "Hell-roaring Hi.'? In its crusade against President lVllon? (ho "nartv nf frrcstt mnral ' IT ?*WV|i V..V IK? V o* ideas' 'enlisted under its banners more sorts of politics than ever before got together. There were the standpatters of the Penrose-Lodge stripe, the Progressives of the KenKon-Beveridge stripe, the pro-Germans of the La Follette-LenrottNorris stripe, the radicals of the May- 1 yr Thompson stripe, the I. W. W. of the Seatle stripe, the city slum bol-1 3hevist of the William Randolph Hearst stripe, and the Sinn Feiners of the Judge Cohalan stripe Others enlisted under the Republi:an banner in this war on Wilson svere Jim Reed^ of Missouri; Hoke Smith, of Georgia; Joe Bailey, of rexast and Bill Bryan, of Nebraska. rhere* are others of like kidney in the squad the immaculate anj altruis- j tic Henry Cabot Lodge marched through Coventry at the head of. ? * William Jennings Bryan means > mischief, and a thrill of victory filled svery Republican heart when tidings, lame that Republican voters of both 1 sexes in Nebraska had forced him on Ihe Democratic party as a delegate to the San Francisco convention. As Cxrover Cleveland once so pertinently remarked, "this is a time for plain | 3peaking." Will the Democratic par-' Ly allow William Jennings Bryan to dump on the national convention a I cart load of treasonable discord? If not it will be the duty of the Demo-i cratic convention to sit down on Bryan, even harder than the Missouri Democrats sat on Jim Reed the other day. I Of course, Mr. Bryan must make a speech. The Democratic party is a stickler for the constitution of the United tSates, and has due regard ror the eighth amendment of that precious instrument which forbids the infliction of cruel and unusual punishments upon the citizen, and it Is notorious that to withhold from Bryan opportunity to make a speech would punishment cruel in the extreme, Inhuman and unspeakable. * * Here is the matter for the Democratic convention to grapple with and solve the very first thing after it convenes: Shall William Jennings Bryan run the convention, shall he boss the Democratic party? His vanity is simply stupendous, and there never appeared in our public life a more selfish individual and a more self seeking politician. Ther^ is no honorable compromise. Either Mr. Bryan must be allowed to run th0 convention or the convention rebuke Mr. Bryan. He means mischief and nothig but mischief. Recently I read Champ Clark's book and despite *Ir. Clark's faulty style 'it is a most readable bobk. The last chapter is devoted to Mr. Bryan, and a minute analysis is made of tjie motives that prompted Mr. Bryan's conduct at Baltimore in 1912. I was at that convention and kept an eye on Mr. Bryan, and my opinion then was and ever since has been identical with (Mr. Clark's as to Mr. Bryan's motives. Clark says Bryan went to Baltimore to get the nomination himself. Can Mr. Bryan place his hand upon his heart and fix his eye upon his' God and deny it? Clark says Bryan assailed him because he led in the ballotings and that his assault would have been made on Wilson had Wilson led. I left Baltimore about ten minutes after Wilson was nominated, and as I boarded the trolley for Washington I repeated to myself this thought: Never before was there shown on any ,lAl? -a V?r\ on n dimh theatre 01 poimcs uuun mc ?, a vivid illustration of the engineer ; hoist by his own petard as was ?een in the exploit of Mr. Bryan in that j convention. * * * i In the San Francisco convention j Mr. Bryan will hold a commission j conferred on him by Nebraska Re-1 publicans and his mission will be to : promote the fortunes of the Republican party in the union. If you want; to see a grin of satisfaction as broad as Goliath's shoulders and as long as j Goliath's legs spread over the human countenance, ask the first intelligent Republican you meet what he thinks of Mr. Bryan as a delegate to the San Francisco convention. Truly the i owner knows his ox and the crib its J ass. 1 It is everywhere asserted and nowhere disputed that Bryan owes his seat in the Democratic convention to Republican votefe in Nebraska. Is the Democratic pa!rty ass enough and coward enough to suffer this man to sow the seed of d'scord in the Demo- J cratic council? That is the question | for the Democratic party to settle and settle instanter when the conven- j tion first convenes. Mr. Bryan means mischief. o James Woodson Dillon. Mr. James Woodson Dillon was: *? T c r> rtor. DC*rn near .Lillne nuv,a, u, ***+ ~ . ember the 27th, 1877, and died ati the Florence Infirmary, Florence, S. j C., on April 16, 1920. Mr. Dillon was hapily married to, Miss Lily Naomi Sneed, of Mont-J gomery, North Carolina, who made! him a devoted wife and loving com-] panion. He joined the Methodist Church after his marriage and remained a member until the day of his death. Mr. Dillon was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dillon, of Little Rock. After his marriage Mr. Dillon lived in North Carolina until he came to Dillon, South Carolina in 1917. The subject of this memoir was a man of modest and retiring disposition, but a man of sterling worth and i of strong character. He studiously! avoided all pomp and display, but | had in him the elements of real j worth and substantial citizenship.] Though of a retiring disposition, Mr. j Dillon made many friends because as: soon as men learned to know him! they learned to appreciate his merits. ] Mr. Dillon was a member of sev-J eral Lodges in Dillon and the funeral | exercises were attended by an unus 1 - ?rrUrx Kn.1 uauy large numoer ui meu. a reaved widow and children have the deepest sympathy of the entire community. Watson B. Duncan. o Kedpath Chautauqua Opens Monday. The big Redpath Five Day De Luxe Chautauqua will open here Monday afternoon in the big brown tent which will arrive in Dillon tomorrow. The attractions which appear on the Redpath Chautauqua programs this year are notable indeed. | The famous band master Bohumir will appear here on the 3rd day and give two concerts with his great band. On the 4th night the delightful American comedy, "It Pays to Advertise" will be given by a company of eight and on the last night Edward Reno will give a program of magic and mystery. Three notable musical companies and three important lectures are among the other notable features of the great program. The Olcot Light Opera Singers will open the Chautauqua. They will give a short concert and William Rainey Bennett, widely known as "The Man Who Can'' will give his great inspirational lecture by that name. o Villa Settles Down to Ways of Peace. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, May 10.?Francisco Villa's days of banditry and constant menace to all attempts to establish stable government in Mexico and to the relations between this republic and the United States are ended, according to reports reaching here. Leaders of the new revolution displayed visible relief at the announcement that Villa had laid down his arms and turned his men over to General Ignacio Enriquez, revolutionary commander of the Chihuahua district. I Since the revolution swept out of Sonora with increasing momentum, what Villa would do or what would I be done with him had been a source [of much speculation. It was reported that, with the best interests of his 'country at heart, he would seek to be permitted to remain neutral and settle down on a plantation, and still later that his offered services to the revolution had been declined. Agents of the new regime admitted that if Villa decided to oppose it he would constitute the greatest menace to it. o The country is getting more generous toward college professors, so that some of them are being paid as imuch as the average farm hand lb Dillon county. j c Card of Thanks. I( | We take this method of expressing 5our profound gratitude to the many friends who were so kind and thoughtful during our recent be- St reaveraent. May God's richest blessings be their reward.
