er recklessly.
That was sure, stunning jolt

figure.

Quoted by the pastor, Rev c. M.

The elections resulted very sat
isfactorily and it may not be out of

We couldn't well hide our dis
appointment at the result of the
race for governor but it was consol-

many of Dillon county people thunk

and his best work is not yet done.

slider we'll and carefully before
scratching Hampton's name when
choosing railroad commissioner

should utilize bigger calibre o.:
men for this important post than

Clownship of Tirzan.
A press report from the nation s
capitol says: Hundreds of employ
ees about the capitol have gone to
their homes u take an active part
ID the republican campaign, while
the government is bearing the ex-
pense of their salary. Their pay
goes on while they are away. They
sign the pay roll for months in ad-
vance and at the end of each thir-
ty days their checks are mailed to
them and the republican party
claims their services in reutrn". It's
a safe bet that none of our South
Carolina banks have the pleasure
of cashing any of these checks. Sane
men with eyes wide open don't de-
ltberately butt their heads up
against stone walls. We're glad
that we of this state don't have
that sort of humiliation to endure.
But Gee! our local politics is a fun
ny brand itself. Those Georgia
people and northerners ain't got
nothing on US yet in the way of
politics. Ours is the Dillon Brand
