Law for the Aviator.

into some interesting speculation upon
the relation of the flying machine and
the dirigible balloon to the law, COM
mon. statute and international. It's edi-

be sure, but the subject Is far from being
all jest. Time flies fast In these tWen-

before the law will have to be adapted to
the situations made possible by the avia-
tor and the baHOonist.

The Deserted Summer Resort.
A sadness fingers everywhere.
No more doth laughter echo light.
Where he came tripping debonnaire
Some biithe conundrum to recite.
The sky looks down in bleak dismay-
The cottage cut-up's gone away.
No more the comic song sounds out
In well meant though familiar glee;
No more the old guitar SO stout
Twangs Justify, but of the key.
Oh. shed a few considerable tears!
The cottage cut-up disappears.
Gone is the quip. likewise the quirk;
Gone is the frail, yet time-tried joke.
The butterfly has gone to work,
The same as ordinary folk.
In Office, counting room or store
The cottage cut-up is no more!

e. s. Gee clearly proved his title
to be one Of the best, II not the

A. l.. Lowrey three sets straight,
Us, Ga, 8-2.
The man from Manila certainly
showed his class on the courts yes
terday and by all around brilliant
play became eligible to compete
against Warren. the present holder
Of the Wall cup. for the honor Of
holding the trophy for the season.
The FIRST set was a. triumph for
Gee, and at one stage Lowrey had
five games to his opponents one,
and the set looked a certainty for
him. However, Gee, pulling him.
self together In great style. over
hauled his man, and after strug-

on In faultless manner. took the
set 7-5. 3D.. 'f'i
N the second set the two experts
were at their best. and some Of the
strokes we're worthy OF Norman
Brookes. Gees passing shots were
we'll nigh perfect, and he found the
side lines time after time.
Gee also took the second set, Ga,
but the game was a much closer one
than the scores would indicate. Most
Of the games went to deuce and
vantage several times before the
winning point was made.
Things did not look bright for
Lowrey when the men made a start
for the third set, as Gee. with two
sets to the good, could, II he cared
to, take II easy for set and then
sparkle up In the fourth. However.
there was nothing like that doing.
and Gee. forcing the play. soon had

If it is true that bad seasons fol-
low mild winters this years cot
ton crop will be reduced TO a min
imum. A Herald man was told
by a prosperous farmer a few days
ago that there would be small
cotton crop this year. Asked for
his reason for the prediction the
farmer said the winter has been
too mild. He thea went ON to say
tnat the winter of 1890-91 was so
mild that the mercury never got
below the 90 notch. Vegetation
was green all the year round and
stalks sprouted before plowing time
arrived. In fact the whole winter
was SO mild that any kind of trop-
ical plant could have been raised
in any month during the year.
The summer following this mild
winter was intensely hot and the
lowlands were. literally covered
with insects and vermin. No
doubt there is something in this
farmers prediction. If it is the
rule for bad seasons to follow mild
winters the best thing the farmer
can do is to raise all the hog and
hominy he can and let the fates
take care of the cotton crop.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-02-04

A few weeks ago we passed the
the home of prosperous farmer.
Everything around the home
breathed an air Of prosperity. The
premises were well-kept, the fences
surrounding the home and the out
buildings were substantially built
and neatly painted. On every
hand there were indications f
thrift, energy and pride. This
man had accumulated a comforta-
BILE fortune at farming. There
were evidences that special atten-
ton had been given to details in
the management of his farm. 1t
was apparent that he was a man
who watched and managed closely.
Therefore it was bit surprising
to see some 40 or SO bales of cot
ton lying fiat upon the ground
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-02-04

just in front of his home. The
cotton was weather-beaten and had
already taken on that bluish tiut
which indicates deterioration. This
evidence of carelessness was in
striking contrast to the gentle
mans surroundings. But still
when this farmer sells his cotton
and from 20 to so pounds are ta-
ken off each bale he win take his
losses without a murInsr because
he alone is to blame. Such meth
DDS in the commercial or industrial
line would mean bankruptcy, but
on the farm prosperity comes in
spite of them. Great are the re
sources of the farm.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-02-04

Not long since we heard a far
mer who was not blessed with
much Of this world sr1oods say he
wanted the lien law repealed.
When asked for his reason for
wanting the law repealed he re-
piled: MY grandfather worked
all his life under. a lien and died
poor; my father made his crops
under lien and died poor, al
though he was an industrious man;
every crop l ever made was made
under lien and l have been poor
all my life. Isn't that a good rea-

and seemed to possess an average
amount of good. common sense,
out he had not succeeded. Here
was q big amount of brains and
energy that had been wasted in the
effort to win success under tthe
most adverse conditions. Had
there been no lien law this man
might have developed into skill
ed artisan or a successful manu-
facturer and become a useful mem
Der of the country's social organi-
ization, but through the operations
of the law he is condemned to q
life of poverty and servitude. A
