'Die following editorial by Frank H. Waggoner, entitled, "Thoughtless Town" appeared in its issue for Feb ruary. It is well worth reading and studying* "Do you know it% story and where it is? Have you ever lived there? "It used tu be a splendid town, with its broad, shaded streets and well-kept homes, its stores that flank ed Main street, its lumber yard and its flour mill. "Once on a time every tie-rail wars filled. Then tho autos began to ap pear until the horse-drawn vehicles became as unusual a sight an the alitor bad been at first. "In those days the stores carried all that the community required and it was content. Then the lure of the city came and with it the things that make up its life, and Main street paled in the glare of Broadway. "Back from the city came the city's merchandise, not to the stores, but to tho homes of the residents, and the town paid tribute to the city with'the money that Was its mer chants'. "Into the town, hidden in the mad bags and from all eyes save those of the carriers, came catalogs from distant houses, resplendent in color and prodigal in size, spreading out j on their printed pages the merchan dise gathered from home and beyond j the Seven Seas. And order blanks as quietly went back pinned to .checks en the home bank, and the town paid tribute to the alien firms with the money that was its merchants'. "Unobtrusively, as one making a friendly call, stranger folk, some with and some without what might be mistaken for suitcases or hand lug gage, rang the door bells of the homes and entered. They were, a^ they announced themselves, ambas sadors and ministers plenipotentiary from the court of the great manu facturers, presenting their credentials to those who had been selected as worthy of the high honor?of being privileged to buy direct and avoid thr tribute to wholesaler and retailer as well, and who were to enjoy the advantage of making their selections in the comfort and seclusion of the;r own homes. "And one of these strangers, be ing the ambassador of a manufac turer of shoes, took orders away from ?K ? local shoe stores, and the town paid tribute to that alien manufac turer' with- the money'that was its m< rchants*.

REARDON ON THE JOB Asked to Help Boost Camden Pageant in Pee Dee Section The many friends of Mr. E. 1. Reardon, who was for some time the official secretary of the Camden and Kershaw County Chiimbejr of Com merce will be glad to learn that he has entirely recovered his health, and is now the secretary of the Dillon, S. C., chamber of commerce. Dillon is to be congratulated on securing such a man as secretary of its commercial body?for when old E. 1. "steps on the gas" then things begin to hum. Blizzard of the Dillon Herald now has a real boosting assistant, as "E. I. R." knows how to coin words and adjectives that Webster never dreamed of. Mr. B. G. Sanders, publicity chair man of the pageant to be presented here on March 25th has asked Rear don to give publicity throughout the Fee Dee section for this event, and in accepting he writes "as ex-officio envoy extraordinary, and minister plenipotentiary-booster in the Pee Dee section of the* stupendous, spec tacular, entertaining, historical and inspiring pageant of Camden and Kershaw county,-with its cast of 1,000 men, women, boys and girls, depict ing the glories of the oldest interior city and county of tho Palmetto state. And as thin pageant with its. num erous historical episodes bids fair to be one of the grandest dramas of outside stage groupings, lighting and costuming effects, parades, drills, marches, dances, etc?, ever pulled off in South Carolina. You may count on me." CJo to it, old "E. I." and we expect you here on March to. gether with many of the good citu Kens of Dillon and your entuv ac tion; we'll give you a royal time and a hearty welcome. Contribntvd.
