Poor Woodbury..

1t cannot be denied that Wood
bury Township has been in the
lime-light during the past few
days. And the distressing part
of it is the brighter the light
shines the more embarrassing be-
comes the position of our Marion
friends.
Roar after roar, that could be
heard around the state, has gone
up from Marion because Dillon
wanted to "dis6gure" tn his
toric old county" by cutting off
some of her territory, and now it
develops that while Marion was
protesting against Dillon's greed
she was strenuously working to
force one of her townships over
to Horny.
Woodbury. is cut off from Horny
by three miles of swamp and a
river and when the water is at
high tide transportation is possi-
BILE but exceedingly dangerous.
But our Marion friends would
meet this contingency by con-
structing over this three miles of
swamp bridge solely for the ac-
commodation o f the benighted
WoodburyiteS. q f course i t
would cost thousands of dollars to
construct this bridge but our Mar
ion friends, according to the Con-
way Field, have grown so mag
unanimous of late that they would
take one-half of the money out of
their own pockets n d then
hold the taxpayers up for just
the other half.
Great scheme, but is Woodbury.

says it will take lots of money to
keep up that three mile bridge
and if Marion is so anxious to put
Woodbury. in close touch with a
court house why not use half the
money it would take in building
the bridge and build macs dam
roads from Woodbury. to Marc:

Every honest citizen of South
Carolina will rejoice over the de-
cision of the United States Su-
preme Court which annuls Judge
Pritchard's order for receivers for
the old state dispensary. 1t will
be recalled that the dispensary
winding up commission was
enjoined by Judge Pritchard from
making certain Investigations con-
nected with deals between the di :
pensary and certain liquor con-
Germs, namely The Wilson Distil-
ling Co. and the Fleishman Co.
The object of the commission was
to get hold of Fleishman's and the
Wilson Cos. books, but when the
injunction was issued the commits
sion's hands were tied. The ap-
peal from Judge Pritchard's court
was carried on to the circuit court
of appeals at Richmond where the
lower court was sustained. From
the circuit court of appeals it went
to the United States Supreme
Court and the order WAS dissolv-
cd. The state has scored big
victory. Had the United States
Supreme Court sustained Judge
Pritchard the cases against the
dispensary grafters would have
been dropped and justice would
have been cheated through tech.

Anent the Risht.of-W Way.

Mr.. L. A. Dillon is in receipt
of petition literally signed by
prominent citizens nf Judson in
timating that they canno. be eX-
pected to support the New County
if the railroad is not brought by
their towa.
We do not blame the citizens
of Judson for wanting the rail
road to come by their town;
neither do we blame the citizens
of Gallavon for wanting the same
thing. Dillon is working hard
for the road because the Dillon
ties believe this additional line of
communication with the outside
world will help to build up their
town. But our Judson friends
are in error if they believe that
Dillon is trying to pull the road
away from them.
When the citizens of Dillon met
and appointed a committee on
right-ot-way that committee was
instructed to secure a right-of-
way from within two miles of
Clio into the town of Dillon. No
particular route was suggested
and the common understanding
was that the route preferred by
the promoters of the new road
would meet with the approval of
the citizens of Dillon. So far as
we know the idea of running two
distinct routes from Clio to Dill
lon was not born in a Dillonite' $
brain, but on the other hand be-
longs exclusively TO the gentle
men who are building the road.
Again, if any member of the
rlght-of-way committee has shown
a preference for any particular
route 1t is purely a matter of
personal choice and does not come
from any citizens meeting nor
does it reflect any well defined
sentiment in the town of Dillon
Dillon has no preference in the
matter. 1t has friends at hudson
and Gallavon and would be Glad
to see the road go by both places,
II such were possible. AS it can
not touch at both places Dillon
has left the selection of a route
absolutely with the promoters and
will be hands off" SO to speak.
Therefore if any person should
express preference for either
route we trust our friends at
Gallavon and Judson will not take
it as a reflection of sentiment in
Dillon.
What Dillon wants is the New
County and the new railroad
too, if she can get it, and if effort
counts for anything she i'll get
both, but what she most desires
just at this time is that one in
terest shal. not conflict with the
other, and to this lend every pa
triotic New Countyite should
bend his energies.

used only for freight purposes. At
times scores Of cars are sidetracked

be sent over this track. during the
