itors marvelled at Dillon's pluck in
making the venture, but today the
population Is five times larger and
the time has come for the instaIla-
tion of a modern plant in every
sense of the word. Dillon must not
stop at merely providing for all
night current. The town is
large enough to support a 24-hour
current and it does not matter If
other towns the size of Dillon are
skeptical about providing an all-day
current-Dillon has always taken
the lead over other towns her size
and this is the very time when she
should not slacken her pace. A "a
hour current will mean a great deal
to Dillon. 1t will be an inducement
to small enterprises to locate here
and If there is one thing Dillon
needs just at this time it is to
arouse among her citizens a spirit
of Industrial activity. We believe
the bond issue will be carried. There
is no reason why it should not, but
too much Importance cannot be at
tached to the matter of selecting
the commissioners whose duties it
shall be to purchase the material
and supervise the erection of the
plant. The success of the plant de-
pends entirely upon the ability of
the gentlemen selected to manage
it and in selecting these gentlemen
the voters should exercise wisdom
and caution.

Marion Butler has come bacl

Marion Butler has come back
ito North Carolina and showed his
hand in the election Of the repub-
.ican chairman in that state the
fther day. The chairman-elect is a
Ioung Mr.. Moorehead, a cotton man
ufacturer. who represents his state
in the national congress. 1t was
this same young Mr.. Moorehead who
told a Washington newspaper man
two years ago that his election to
congress had imposed a great bur-
den on him and that really he did
not see why the people wanted to
send him to congress- But Mr..
Moorehead's course in congress has
not been very spectacular and no
doubt the people of his district are
linking the same way now. His
ton to the chairmanship of his
PARTY, no doubt. will impose upon
him still greater burden.
When a man of Marion Buffers cal
b! e can come back to the state he
IS robbed and maltreated and
hip the party leaders back into
line 1t Is an indication that the re-
publicans are hard-up for a leader
In their state. North Carolina has
suffered nearly as much at the
hands of Butler as South Carolina
suffered at the hands of the carpet
baggers and if the republicans de-
yelop any strength in the fall elec-
tions it will show that North Caro-
lima needs renovating from one end
to the other.

MISSISSIPPI is VERY Low.
Steamboats, Can't Run, But Pearl
Hunters Are Happy.


1t is only within the memory Of
the oldest Of river men that the riv-
ers forming the great Mississippi
system have been so low in the sum-
mer as they have this year. The old
timers say the low stages this year
can be compared with those of 1864,
when the cat fish had to climb out
into the fields to moisten their parch
ed throats with the dew
North of st. Louis steamboat traf-
fic is almost at a standstill on &C
count of the low water in the upper
Mississippi. The Diamond 10 Line
though has been forced to take off
its through boats to St. Paul and
has great difficulty in getting its
local packets through to Burlington,
La. Many excursion boats are tied
up. Several of the boats have been
damaged in an effort to navigate.
The river can be waded in many
places. and it is a common sight to
see wagons fording the stream to
save bridge tolls.
But while the steamboat compa-.
nies are suffering the pearl button
factories are reaping a harvest. Hun
dreds of men, women and children
can be seen along the water front
OF every town hunting clans. The
shells are sold to the button facto-
ries after being searched for pearls.
Many fine pearls have been found.
One found by a Dubuque man was
sold for $4,000.
Conditions along the Ohio river
are getting serious, too, though the
situation there is not as bad as it
was last year. when practically every
one of the hundreds of steamboats,
along that stream were either strand
ed in the river or tied up to the
bank.
If it were not for the water that
comes out Of the Missouri. steamboat
traffic would be suspended between
here and Carlo. While the Missou-
RI has not risen this year to within
fifteen feet of the flood stage it has
maintained a steady flow Of water,
enough to keep the steamboats, go
ing on the Mississippi and enough
for the boats running on that stream
Still unless there are rains soon in
the North the Missouri is likely to
go very low this fall, although not
as low as it has been in some years.
1t has been many years since the
Missouri has fallen below the zero
stage. 1t is now eight feet above
that stage. which Is about the US
ual flow in the fall.-Kansas City
Times.

As will be seen by reference

As will be seen by reference to
mother column the city council is
advertising the opening Of books of
-egistration for the purpose of hold
ing an election next month upon the
question of issuing bonds to the
amount Of $4,000. The object of
tie bond issue is to erect and equip
a modern electric light plant. At
the same election there will be cleo
ted three commissioners whose du-
ties shall be the erection of the
light plant and the subsequent man
agement thereof for period of two
four and six years, a new commits
sioner being elected every two years.
There Is no questioning the fact
that Dillon needs an electric light
plant. Ten years ago Dillon was
one of the first towns In the Pee
Dee section to install an electric
Night plant and the dozen arc
lights that shone out as beacons of
prosperity to weary travellers adver-
tfsed the town from New York to
rampa. At that time the town was
~ small for an adequate return in
collars and cents for the amount
