Dillon, S. Cm July 22, 1920. 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.

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

standard. 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

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

fficer ia after. 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
