. ?br Sillnn iijpral& SUBSCRIPTION - #2.30 Per Yr. Dillon, S. C.t September 2, 1920 The attention of wbman is called to the fact that the law says it shall be a secret ballot. A correspondent says that before the war the humblest German railroad guard would scorn the offer of a tip. And thus Germany is paying another heavy penalty for her crime f against civilization. How many American voters, wej wonder, will be aoie to unaersiauu this latest deliverance from Candidate Harding: "My greatest ambition and the corner stone of my program will be to regain for America the moral leadership she lost when ambition ought to superimpose a reactionary theory of discredited autocracy." Somebody page Mr. Webster, please. The "burning issue" in Horry county yesterday was not "men'', but hogs and cattle. The Horryites are very much worked up over the "free range" law, or what is better known as the "stock law." The county seems to be| pretty evenly divided on the question as to whether hogs and cattle shall run at large or whether they shall be confined in pastures where they may Case upon, without molesting, the neighbors' luxuriant crops of corn or' grain. That has been the issue iu the campaign just closed and there has! * onntrnvorcv hp D06H UlUUU iicaicu vvukivt? - , tween voters end candidates as to the! "legal" status of that much-abused I creature of Horry's pine forests, the! raxor-back. The Horryite is a solid citixen with the "courage of his convictions/' and woe be unto the man who dares tamper with the rights of his hog. The "free range" issue recalls to mind an incident that happened many years ago when a party of automobiLists were traveling a winding road through one of Horry's dense pine forests. A huge specimen of the razorback walked out of the undergrowth and ambled slowly down the middle of the road without so much as a glance at the roaring machine just i behind him. The blare of the horn failed to arouse him to sense of dan- j ger, and the driver, growing impatient' at his hogship's insolence, muttered a threat and began to speed up his car. At this moment one of the party who knew something of Horry's ways, rose in his seat and exclaimed:* "Heavens fellow, look out what you are doing. It's no harm to kill a man down here, but to kill a hog is murder." We do not know the outcome of the free rangd issue in Horry, but judging by the newspaper accounts of the controversy we are of the opinion that the status of the hog in Horry will not be settled at the ballot box. SLANDERING THE SOUTH. United States Senator James E. Watson, republican, r Indiana, is standing for reelectio enator Wat-J son does not cut much of a figure in the senate, and outside of newspaper offices and political circles there are not many people in the United States1 who ever heard of him. Senator Wat-] Bon wouia nave no pmce 111 iue miumns of a weekly newspaper publish-1 ed in a small South Carolina town if it were not for the fact that he has made some very foolish remarks conI ceraing the south, and we quote him merely for the purpose of showing our readers how a demagogue in a distant state works on the feelings of the ignorant in a desperate effort io retain public office.*In a speech at THE J 01 ROWLAND . 9th, 1920. Now is the t cotton grow the price. Gr hour 10:30 A. C. C.M Sullivan, Ind., yesterday Senator Wat-' son is quoted as saying: "The south has been xn the saddle j for the last seven years, and the; south is not competent to handle the1 affairs of this nation* The south has, robbed the north systematically un-j der Woodrow Wilson. You people in the north pay the taxes and the south has got rich. You northern farmers had your wheat prices fixed, while: southern cotton made the southerners wealthy. If you want four more years of southern control vote for Cox." These are very foolish utterances, but they will sink deep into the hearts of the ignorant. Senator Watson foigets that after freeing the negro the nortn neia me suum iu * siaic ui economic slavery and waxed rich off the labor of the women and children j until the democrats got in power and through the operations of the Fed- : eral Reserve Banks broke the strangle-holt the money barons of the north had upon the throat of the na 1 tion. And then came along the great i world-war which forced the price of 1 wheat and cotton up to a level that j gave the farmers of the south and west a legitimate profit on what the* i produced. As they saw this power j ) slipping away, the money barons 01 j the north were as helpless as were the , people of the south who for half a'] century had sweated blood that a"i few favored ones might live in ease and luxury. But there is Senator Watson and others of his ilk, who, unlike good sportsmen when the wheel of fortune turns, would try to make the ignorant believe that the man who toils and sweats and produces must remain a slave and continue to snatch the crums as they fall from the table of those who feast and fatten on the fruits of his labor. Those are the things that Senator j Watson and the party he represents stand lor. They are fighting to get back to the old order of things when the wealth of the nation?the wealth that properly belongs to the masses? is once more concentrated in the banks of the north; when the I cueral Reserve System, which was largely instrumental in delivering the" people from a state of bandage, is abolished and the bankers of the south and west must once more approacn the money barons of the north with hand in hand and beg for a loan at a high rate of interest. But because the south is fighting against a return , to these conditions its people are pub- j lie plunderers, and Senator Watson and his kind are the ones who would save the nation from itself!

Cox tonight flatly denied the charge of Republican national Chairman Will Hays, before the senate investigating sub-committee at Chicago today that the "wets" were backing the Democratic presidential; candidate's campaign. "The 'wets' have not contributed a' dollar to our campaign, and they will1 not" the governor declared. "It is| very well known in this state at least!

Official reports show that within the last year or two the 'wets' 1 apparently have not been able to (make large contributions even for, 'wet' referendums. "I mention that only to show the absurdity of this charge. If Mr. Hays should take the trouble to investigate, the situation in Ohio, he would find that the 'wets' have never contributed a dollar to my campaigns. An Absurd Charge.

He was I somewhat fatigued as a result of his week's tour winding up with two strenuous days in New York, and went direct to the executive mansion after a rest. He will remain in Columbus until Thursday night, when he starts on a 30 days swing through the west. Tomorrow he speaks at the Ohio state fair here and on Thursday he will address the convention of national farm a - ~ ?1 "a In P A! ii m Kiia ! 01 gcLIl IZ&UUUb (tlOU iu vviuiui/uo, The league of nations will be the only political subject discussed in the fair speech, the governor said tonight.

While here the governor said tonight, he expects to prepare a statement on the "Last Plan" advanced by Senator Harding in connection with the league of nations issue, referring to the Republican nominee's declaration for a world association built on The Hague Tribunal as the foundation.

Wise told me that independents are going to entertain me .entirely under non-political auspices when I return to New i York in October. , Gov. Cox asserted that the league of nations "is what is in the minds" of the independents. The governor also said he found some glowing reports of conditions in Ohio on his return today. One of his < representatives who had covered all parts of the state, he said, reported that the league issue had "absolutely overrun political lines." After his return from the west, Gov. Cox will concentrate his campaign in the east. He plans to go into New Jersey and New England for a number of speeches and also will speak a number of times in New York City and in upstate cities. o Deaths.
