I John Diebler says they named it the Third Party because it will run third. 1 Judging from what we near on the streets it is getting easier to stir up political argument every day. < II every man in Dillon looked afr Aer his family as constantly as the town's roosters there would Indeed be .sometnmg to crow hduuu We hare noticed, in our own unobatrusive way, that it'doesn't take the average man in Dillon long to make ap his mind when there is money in it . * , A doctor's wife is in a class by heraelf. When the society reporter refers to the wife of the minister she aever writes it "Mrs. Rev." nor srhen shq refers to the wife of a lawyer does she write it "Mrs. Attorney." But let it be the Vife of a doctor and it's "Mrs. Dr.'' nine times out of ten. If the suffrage amendment fails of ratification the west and northwest win hi tvnta thA past aiid north -this year. The eastern states are more populous, but only men vote. The western and northwestern states are leas populous, but the addition of women voters doubles the voting pop' illation, so that twice as many per-, .sons will vote in the northwestern and western states in proportion to population thai^is the case in the ' north and eastern states. But it is not the number of votes that counts in a presidential election. It is the states with the largest number of electoral jrotes that decide the winner. All the states west of the Mississippi can vote one way and a solid vote east of the big river would elect.. It is possible for a candidate to receive a majority of the popular vote and then be defeated. * I The time is not far distant when the farmers of Dillon couiity will have to make tobacco their leading money crop. In the next year or two there will be a sweeping reduction in the cotton acreage and a substantial increase in the tobacco acreage. This will be necessary because the boll weevil does net thrive on tobacco. "These changes are bound to come and why not begin now to prepare for them? To be perfectly frank, Dillon's facilities for handling and marketing tobacco do not come up to ; syi si * v *'\ r simp # i j Standar d mer< [v-^, > * # ?ggp|H^' j COTTCtt | Ri^ersid i Heavy b Hickory > - grouu !

We have nothing more to o affer the farmer than is offered by o the average town of Dillon's size. We n may have more warehouses and more t floor space, but other towns with i: fewer warehouses and less floor a space pay just as high prices propo;- t tionately and handle just as much to- r bacco. If Dillon hopes to grow as a s tobacco market?if it hopes to s able to replace with tobacco the I03- f ses it will sustain in cotton when the s boll weevil arrives?it must build t prize houses and steuimeries. It f * * * ? ! A must provide Deuer uwnuco ?.? v handling the increased acreage in to- I bacco. If it does not, the town that t offers better facilities will get the I trade that should come to Dillon. a c The tobacco season opened Tues- * day and for the next two months 1 thehe will be work for everybody. 1 The local warehousemen tell us it is 1 difficult to employ enough hands to * keep their work running smoothly, ' and there are times when sales and 1 shipments are delayed, because of the * indifference of labor. Wages are high 2 and the average laborer can work two J or three days in the week and make s enough for his immediate needs. The 1 loafer has no excuse to offer these 1 * *- U M f days. There is so mucn wort 10 uu that small boys are filling men's ' places and getting men's wages. Now ( is the time for state, county and 1 municipal officers to be extremely 1 vigilent in enforcing the vagrancy 1 laws. The man with no visible means c of support who is able to work and ? has no employment should be given 1 about 24 hours to get a job. If he * does not go to work he should be * classed as a vagrant and dealt with ac- * cordingly. The law should be enfore- c ed among black and white. 1 I Several days ago two Dillon coun- , tv negroes were transporting whiskey through North Carolina and when an ( officer intercepted them a battle fol- , lowed and the officer and one of the , negroes were killed. A few days later ' , the chief'df police of Lalta attempt- j ed to arrest a negro when the negro j fired at him at close range with a shot gun loaded with buckshot. The officer was wounuea m mr snuumc., but he pulled his pistol and killed the negro in his tracks. There was nothing out of the ordinary in either tragedy. The same thing has happened many times before and tragedies of a similar nature will continue to happen until the end of time. An officer in the discharge of his duty goes out to make an arrest. The person the officer attempts to arrest becomes incensed at the officer for trying to do his duty and attempts to kill him. A tragedy follows. Sometimes it is the officer and again it is the man the /ID-SUM t IV V u LY AN EFFC I jhandise of Stand i DRESS GOODS SECTION".

When such tragedies ccur the thought that comes to the ilnds of right-thinking men is, "Why his useless sacrifice of life?" What i it in man that prompts him to kill n officer when that officer is trying o discharge his duty?" "By what ule ;pf reason or logic or common ense does a man reach the cohcluion that he can escape punishment or a petty crime or misdemeanor by taining his hands with the blood oi he officer who comes to take him beore the court to answer for his mis leeds?*' The officer is not the court le is merely the arm of the law? he servant of the court who directs lim to proceed to a certain place and krrest the person charged with ths rime.

It is not for them t< tay whether they be innofcent 0; jullty. Their guilt or innocence mus >e passed upon by a court of compet ?nt jurisdiction. It is not for the of 'icer charged with the duty of makinj he arrest to ?ay whether they ari juilty or innocent. The officer hai lothing to do with their guilt or in locence. If a man is innocent of thi :rime with which he is charged h< ihould quietly submit to arrest. H< will have ample opportunity to provi lis innocence. But it is the insane oi oolish man who resists an officer it he discharge of his duty.
