Dillon, H. C., June 9, 1921.
No couutry will ever want to get
into war with the U. S. after this because
it takes too long to get out.
If the Pullman porters go on a
strike the traveling public will at
least have the satisfaction of being
able to estimate in advance the cost
of a trip.
How to be happy without an automobile.
says an exchange, ought to be
taught in the schools, as the rising
generation seems to learn quickly
how te operate a steering wheel.
Everybody will admit that railroad
wages are too high and should be reduced,
but nobody will agree that it
is fair to railroad employees or the
public to reduce wages and let rates
stanu at' the present high leved. The
two should come down together.
North Carolina is the lust state
in Southern Bell territory to grant
the request of the telephone company
for an increase in rates, but the North
Carolina Commission granted an increase
of only 40 per cent of the
amount the telephone company asked
for. Alabama allowed an 80 per cent
increase, and the other states. South
Carolina included, gave the telephone
company e.ll it asked for. North Carolinians
are opposing the 40 per cent
increase.
1 Recent political news from Washington
gives an element of truth to
the rumor tha? Former Governor
Bleaso will be a candidate for governor
in 1022. From the very day it
took charge of the nation's affairs the
Harding administration has been laying
its plans for 1924, and between
now and then an earnest effort will
be. made to build up a respectable
republican party in the south. This
is no secret in Washington. South
Carolina is regarded as the strongest
Democratic state in the south, and
there is a strong probability that the
nien who shape the policies of the
republican party will concentrate
their forces on this state. All signs
print to the fact that the plan of
campaign will be to gather into the
republican fold erstwhile Democrats
of influence who are out of harmony
with their party. It should not be'
surprising if there is a full-fledged
republican state ticket in the field
next year.
The merchants of Florence have
i
set a splendid example in agreeing to
close their stores at 2 o'clock every j
Wednesday afternoon and give their
employees a half holiday each week.
Not only does the plan give employees
an opportunity to enjoy a little
recreation during the hot summer
months, but it is calculated to so
improve their physical condition that
they can render more efficient service
during the busy fall and winter
months. For years it has been the
custom in many South American
towns and cities to give half-holidays
to store employees two and three!
times a week during the summer!
months, and the public has become
so accustomed to the rule that no one
suffers any inconvenience, and surely1
there can be no valid objection to]
giving store employees in this coun-J
try half-holidays once a week during
the summer months. We believe the
plan will pay good dividends in increased
efficiency.
TOWN COUNCIL NEWS.
We made an effort to buy current
from the cotton mills to supply the
town of Dillon. Since the price made
u? was 8 cents per kilowat we think
the cost prohibitive and we have
abandoned the idea of trying to buy
our current.
Representative!} of several crude
oil engines are willing to install their
outfit on a guarantee that we can
produce current at one cent a killo
wat for cost of fuel-oil. This will
not include operating expense or
overhead costs.
We are now considering a proposition
to build a new light plant using
two crude oil engines of 200 horse
power each. We estimate the cost of
the two engines with two generators
of same size and to include new
switch board and other accessories
at about $35,000.00 We would
perhaps need a new building
to have the new equipment. If we
should build a new power plant we
think of greatly improving our water
plant. This would include one eight
Inch deep well with new and modern
pumps. We would like to build a
concrete reservlor to hold not less
than 250,000 gallons of water. Also
we would like to make some extensions
of our water pipe lines and
sewer lines. These improvements. If
made, will cost from $60,000 to $60,000.
The only way to meet this cost
would be a bond Issue.
Also the Public Works Commission
owe fully $25,000 of floating indebtedness.
This will also have to be
taken care of In the bond Issue. We
THE DIL
wish our thoughtful citizens to 1
think over this matter of necessary P
public improvements. At an earlyjt
date we will be called on to vote for 1
or against the proposition. To g*et
what we need will cost $100,000.. ?
We might make a part of the im- <
provements and pay up our losses on I
present light plant on a $75,000 bond i
issue. If these improvements are i
made they will take care of a pop- i
ulation of 5000 people. With first-!<
class public service utilities and with l
a pull all together Dillon should be't
a much larger town in 1930. jl

McLAURIN WILL BE REFEREE. 1
I
Considerable interest attaches in '
South Carolina to fVio AV-"
?uv ?uvvnu^ VI lilt
Republican national committee, to be |
held in Washington Wednesday of
this week, says the Columbia corres- '
pondent of The Florence Times, at '
which time the plans for the reor- ^
ganization of the Republican party in '
this state and also in Georgia will be '
put into some sort of definite shape, *
and when the matter of the patron- '
age and its dispenser will be finally 1
decided for the state. !
It is practically assured that John
L. McLaurin will handle the patronage
for South Carolina. This information
was corroborated in Columbia today
by prominent Republican leaders
who have been in Washington lately. 1
| Joseph W. Tolbert, former leader of
ithe "regular" Republican forces, is I
to be discarded as distributor of the
"pie," as is Henry Lincoln Johnson
I of Georgia. The plan now is to organize
a party in South Carolina with !
white loaders from among good peo- 1
, pie. Mr. McLaurin. former Senator,
has been elected to handle the patronage.
'
I? is not yet known what position I
.Mr. McLaurin will take, when it
conies to the making of appointments.
However, it is understood that '<
he will be rewarded for his work in
directing the affairs of the new poli- '
tical organization by appointment to i
an important agricultural commission !
in the national capital, where he can
be of service to the farmers of the '<
South. It is understood that he was
offered the position of collector of
internal revenue at Columbia, but i
that he did not care for this position.

A nun.her of prominent Sout h Car>1
in inns have been In Washington re- it
:ently in connection with the plans ?
for the new G. O. P. in the state, and
it is said that a large number have it
ilreadv promised allegiance to the
new party, if it is formed, as propos- a
sd. Former State Senator J. A. s
Dunks, of St. Matthews, is among
ihose said to be associated with the h
leaders iu the new party move. It is
intimated here today that Jos. W. d
Tolbert will eventually be with the a
new party, though not as referee. d
Thomas J. Miller, colored, of Charleston,
a leading negro Republican of
the state, has been in Columbia, the
past few days, following a visit to
Washington, where he conferred with
Republican leaders, and he states
emphatically that Senator John L.
McLaurin will be referee for the
state; that Mr. McLaurin has accepted
the position and is now in the
capital in conference with Republican
leaders, prior to the committee
meeting Wednesday. Miller was in
conference with Mr. McLaurin in
Washington.

GIVING SPLENDID AID
Postmasters are giving splendid
co-operation in the effort to create
new capital by increasing the number
of investors in governmnent
savings securities. Approximately
300,000 letters have been distributed
by them since the middle oX February
to patrons of their offices,
through post office boxes or by '
mf*iin 1 nf tho rAPiilar oirriora 11.
ing attention to the (act that the
man who saves even a dollar out
of his income has to that extent
become a capitalist, and to the absolute
safety of government securities
as investments for such savings.
The postmasters are to be
congratulated not only for helping
to finance the government but for
making their influence felt in behalf
of the welfare of their own
communities. Distribution of these
letters means that the benefits of
saving and sound investment have
been brought directly to the attention
of thousands of persons in
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
West Virginia, Virginia and the two
Carolinas.
