Don't Swap Horses While Crossing
the Stream.

A boy, a mare and colt were cross
ing river at a ferry. The boat
was capsized by some means and all
were thrown in the stream which
was very deep and swift The boy,
unfortunately was unable to swim
but in his struggles during the acci-
dent. he seeized the colts tail and
was being towed safely to the shore
Someone OH the bank yelled to him
to let go and take the mares tail,
as she was more able to carry him.
But fortunately the boy had sense
enough and the presence of mind
to hang on to the colts tail, as the
colt was carrying him easily enough.
and yelled back to the one on the
shore that it was no time then to
swap horses.
This old fable can be applied to
our new county and it's officers
just now. The boy who can't swim
is our new county; the colt is our
present officers and the mare is
those who are seeking to succeed our
present Officers in August OF
course the man on the bank is those
who are lectioneering for new off
GERS. We, as new county, have
Just fallen overheard into the dan
gerous river of politics and we
should take no chances whatever
The officers who were elected last
April should not have to give up
their offices SO soon, to others who
are just as inexperienced as they
themselves were. They have just
begun to catch on to their Jobs now
and are doing exceedingly well and
we think should be entrusted for
at least one term before they are
changed. There is not one single
office in the new county of Dillon
but what is filled with an officer
who has done mis- office credit up
to date. The boy" is being towed
as safely as possible now by the
colt" and why shall he exchange
for the horse? If he changes it
may be for the worse; he can't tell,
and as he is getting on alright now
he had better hang on to the colt
We can not overeStimate the abili-
ty of our present Officers. Show us
q clerk of court in any county of
this State who has performed or is
performing his duty better than
ours. Show us a better sheriff than
we have got or auditor. Our treas
urer is as good as can be found and
our supervisor has already done
credit to the whole county. We
have good superintendent OF edu-
full years of experience already in
the old county; our judge of pro-
bate is good as we need; our coro-
ner can't be beat; and our master.
commissioners etc, are all excellent.
So why should we change them
now? If they have filled the place
with such credit both to themselves
and the county in this short time
we hold that they should be honor
ed with their offices another term.
, Besides, if we should count up
all those who contributed to the
great result of winning our county,
we would include every one of our
present officers. Then since they
have been loyal to us, and since
they are loyal now, let's keep them
for two more years anyway. That
is, we say again, Its" no time for
swapping horses. So: Come let
US join our friends who have OBJ
tanned the prize; and on the eagle
wings of love help them to glory
