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!

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! If Watworn

COX DEMTS 'WETS' ARE
BACKING HIM.
Columbus, 0., Aug 30?Governor
James M. 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!

states?that the 'wets' have not been |
active in political movements for
some time. 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.

it is that silence might be misunderstood."
Gov. Cox arrived here shortly be-'
fore 3'o'clock this afternoon, after'
a 17-hour trip from New York. 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

The league of nations will be the
only political subject discussed in the
fair speech, the governor said tonight.
He expects to t#lk agriculture, stressing
what he claims the progressive
legislative program in this state has
meant to the farmers.
Statement on Harding's Plan.
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.
Gov. Cox declined to comment
cm the American Federation of Labor
statement on the records of himself
wd Senator Harding.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the gover- <
aor's running mate will arrive in Columbus
tomorrow for a conference. <
He will be the guest of Gov. Cox at
the executive mansion, and probably
will be introduced to the crowd at the
fair, if he arrives in time. Gov. Cox
Is very anxious to hear Mr. Roosevelt's
first hand report on the stumping
trip through the west.
Elated at N. J. Visit.
The Democratic nominee declared
he was highly elated at the results
of his visit to New York. Discussing
the reaction on his two day's stay
? Wnt.nnnlla ho naid;
ill I lie 1UC11 V|/w??u UV ?? "New
York ordinarily does not pay
much attention to politics until after
Labor Day. I was very much
surprised, therefore, to see that great
interest is felt in the present campaign
now. Of course, I ran into a
good many currents of independent
thought. I know there was a lot of
It running about the volume of it
was quite surprising.
"Rabbi Stephen S. 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.
