APRIL 5.1911 W« told Umm DiDoo “hot air om lor IImh to braf ao on their lands up thwa, that an had aome in Colle ton county that would “lay theirs in tha shade.” Wo did not aea any that wm batter than in the “Fork.” or down at Round and Cottacerille. at 3——***, or oor coaat section. They beat ns there in cultivation, but not in soil. Our county is com ing to the front too as a fanners paradise. In the February number of the Southern Good Roads magazine, pobtiehed at Lexington. N. C.. are two illustrations which do not reflect very much credit on the manage ment of affairs in Colleton county. One of them is a cut of the recent convict’s camp and the other k of the road machine. Under the first appears the following: “Walterboro. S. C. A Poor Camp. No Inspection in This State. Camps of This Sort Are Of ten Set on Fire by the Convicts in an Effort to Escape. Guard Quarters are no Batter.” Under the second, the following: “Walterboro, S. C. A Tribute to Incompetency. A Second- Hand Mnefaine Cracked in Several Places, Bought for $750.00 by the Oemtfy. KM Fries of vSBam Machine Brand New is but $210. |low the Taxpayers Can Get Soaked aad Not Know It.” The camp referred to is that oc cupied for the last several months by the convicts, situated near Super visor Griffin’s residence. The road machine was purchased several years by former Supervisor Moore, cuts, we presume, were furnished this Magazine by the United States Expert when here last summer. Mia be < erscteda larger mi non maunmHous sehoot building. So there is no doubt of Chare being £emu ou in DilleU. But tha most striking thing wo saw and beard of while there is the almost fabulous prime paid for farmlands. $150 and $200 often being paid. But then tha lands there art lands to bo aura. The staple crop ia cotton. Cotton ia Idug in Diflau W»ty. Tha cotton farmers art vary happy PW the high prices cotton has been bringing, Md many of them have much larger bank accounts as a consequence. On an automobile ride with n col lege mate, “Doug” Manning, we saw many beautiful farms, some of them real true * “picture farms.” Splendid homes crown the hills, each with its waterworks plant, electric or acetylene lights, beauti ful lawns and driveways. As far as the ey%can see fields, stumpless fields, of cotton lands prepared for planting, and some of them being already planted. The “lords” of these mansions live like princes sure enough. They have blooded homes and automobiles for use and pleas ure, and plenty of labor to till their farms. Being Presidnt of the United States would hardly prove any temptation to many of these sturdy planters, and we would not blame them, for who would want to give up such a life of ease and affluence for the turmoils of a poli tical career. But the very most substantial and best citizens accepted office under the new county govern ment. and we wery told that the baby is well governed.

The editor of The Prom and Stand- ■**» © aid had the pleasure last week of spending a few days in the baby county of Dillon, that healthy little infant which is the newest addition to the counties of the state. What we saw there convinced us that there would be more beard from this baby county. Composed of the best farming lands, and- with a people prosperous, intelligent and progres sive. there is nothing that will keep this county from forging to front, and that with rapidity. The town of Dillon, the county seat, is only a score of yean old. but it numbers in population S.500 abuls, not taking in the mill vilUges and a thickly populated suburb, which refuses to “merge.” This ie a live ‘little city. Its streets are well graded arid drained sand day roads. Its sadewslks are paved. Ample railroad facilities and s little com petition between the Seaboard and the Coast line, give the town the advantage of cheap, freight and ex cellent passenger service. A lot was recently purchased on which to erect a court-house. $10,- 000 was paid for it. and $100,000 will be expended for a jail Jand court house. The Methdist church stands ''on the site to be occupied by the emart house, so the members of this will erect another at a coat of $30,- 000. The Baptists, not to be out- Burned out a year ago, he was nothing daunted, but went to work with renewed energy and he now has a well equipped newspaper office, which will compare very favorably with the spotless sanctum of Editor Knight of the Bamberg Herald. He is one of the few newspaper men of the state who have «> far installed a Junior linotype. He is much pleased with it, and by its aid he is getting out one of the best weeklies we have seen. 0 With such surroundings, such people and such a newspaper Dillon cannot but succeed. OUR DEBT TO UK PAST. Editor Clarence Poe of The Pro- grenrive Farmer has written many good tilings, but we doubt if he ever came nearer expreesing a great truth more forcibly than he has in the following dipped from one of his letters written whfie he was in Asia last winter. Summing up conditions in 4sia, and 1 speaking particularly of the illiteracy of the Oriental peoples, he says: No, the prosperity of every man of every interest, of every industry depends upon the pnmperity of the average man with whom that indi vidual or industry has to do. You prosper today, you live in greater comfort, simply because men in other ages have encounged Knowl edge, Education, and as a result of Knowledge, have better Tools and Machinery for men to labor with. That is our debt to the Past; to the Future we owe the duty of en couraging Knowledge in constantly increasing^degree. Pity-may God |>ity!- the man who fancies he owes nothing to the School, who pays his tax for educa tion grudgingly as if it were a char ity,—as if he had only hi nslf to thank for the property on which the government levies a pitiable mill or so for the advancement and Diffusion of Knowledge among mankind. Pity him if ha have .hot cooridaredj pity him tha more, if having rrsm dered; he be anall enough of soul to repudiate the debt he owes the race. But far what Education has brought ua from all its past, but for what it Put a Steel Wire Fence Around Your Farm. I sell the American Steel Wire Fence—the best fence made.
