an advertisement by Secre-
tary Basin of the Police Jury.
requesting all the holders Of
Parish warrants prior to and in
GLIDING the year 1916 to turn
them in ct once and obtain a re-
ceipt for the same. This is nee
essary before the Police Jury
can take steps through the Dis
trict Court to finish a transaction
with the Certificates of Indebted
ness purchaser, so as to be in po-
sltion to secure the money to pay
off all the old warrants. This
movement to meet the outstand-
ing debt of the Parish was taken
by the Police Jury some months
ago. and so far, but 100000 of
warrants have been turned into
the Jury This is essentially nee
essary if we hope to get the Par
ish on a cash basis so they can
afterwards meet the obligations
since 1916, and it behooves the
holders of the warrants to come
forward at once. The matter has
afterwards 90 through the Courts
and unless the officials of that
Body can obtain the exact indebt-
edness no one will be in position
TO oe the cash as contemplated. It |
is therefore urgent that you hand |
them in at once.

suits from a small plant that a large
plant offers. We are told that the
town lighting plant Is Just about
paying expenses. If this is true the
time is coming when new machinery
will have to be installed and a new
bond issue will have to be made to
take up outstanding bonds. In
other words. fifteen years hence,
Dillon will be without lighting
plant and the present Indebtedness
will have TO be doubled to pay for
the present plant and install a new
one. The Carolina Gas. Electric &
Power Company's transmission line
runs within seven miles of Latta and
it is said that the work of construct
ing line to Latta will begin at
once. Now is the time for Dillon to
act The Power Company has inti-
mated that it would like to run a
line into Dillon and some effort
should be made to find out what they
have to offer.

When a town in the cotton belt
gets from two to three thousand in
habitants it is grown. Nothing more
can be expected of it so far as the
support of the back country is con-
cerned. It's future growth must
come through industrial enterprises.
Dillon has three thousand inhabi-
tants, a good back country, two cot
ton mills and an oil mill. We may
safely say that Dillon has almost
reached her maximum growth One
or two more years and Dillon must
go backward or forward. There are
openings in Dillon for dozens of in
dustrial enterprises without crowd
ing the field and all that is needed to
get these enterprises is for some one
to make a start. Never before in

get the full benefit of this incrcas-

use at home which come from

cotton and tobacco will bring record

the surplus money already on hand

Swearingen Says Wife Took Mantone
and Gained Same AS He Did
1t is natural for the people OF this
section who are interested in Man
tone to want to know what Mantone
is doing for the home folks" rather
than what it is doing in Maine or
California. That's why the straight
from the shoulder statements of re-
liable South Carolinians are offered
through the press.
Here's what A. Swearingen.
prominent police officer of Florence,
says: when Mantone was recon-
mended to me I was suffering from
nervousness. loss Of appetite and a
torpid liver. Soon after taking this
great great non-alcoholic nerve,
blood and brain tonic l was back in
tip top shape.
Mrs. Sweafingen also was in need
of a good tonic and seeing what Man
tone did for me she started on it.
am glad to say that it already has
proved of equally great value in her
case. For the sake of sufferers
whom l know Mantone will help, 1
offer this testimony"

The plan to 'cOnScript' boys
farms will meet with general appro-
val, but what about the men from
"a to co years Of age who do moth
ing from one weeks end to the 9th
er? Dillon, like thousands Of other
towns throughout the nation. has It's
sun quota of such men. Mayor
Hartzog of Greenwood has taken the
initiative in this matter. He has
served notice on the loafing element
That they must go to work or go to
che chain gang. The country needs
aaa power. There is 4 job and q
faif for every man in the country
today. When the next draft is made
there will be two jobs for every man.
We know of a Dillon man who
Bought material for job six months
ago and IS unable 10 find a man who
will a. :he work. A Dillon business
man who works quite u number of
employees said tn" other day he was
thinking seriously of going out of
business because he found labor CON
ditions so unsatisfactory. The re-
turns from, the business did not
compensate for The worry and trou-
bic of conducting it under such cir .
cumstances. Still there are men in
healthy. vigorous
hen-who loaf the streets from
daylight till dark, live from hand to
mouth and then complain of the
high cost of living. What each town
"eeds is labor administrator with
authority to conscript men for labor
and the power to punish those men
. they refuse to perform the duties
assigned to them. After the labor
has been mobilized it should be
distributed. If one farmer
has more labor on his place than he
needs it should be given to the man
who needs it, If a merchant has
more clerks than hc needs some of
then, should be transferred to the
store that needs them. 1t takes
something besides soldiers in the

with Gods help we will.
But stop talking! Buy Liberty
Bonds! That is the measure of your
patriotism today. Let us see how
brave you are and how much you
love liberty. Do you say '.The
bonds will be sold" do not doubt
it. But wher do you come in? The
last bond issue was oversubscribed
and 1 was proud but not satisfied,
becaue those bonds were in the main
bought through the banks and by
persons comparatively wealthy. We
must this time do that and better
ter than that. Let the banks and
the rich buy and we rejoic in their
ability and patriotism But no man
must be allowed to take your place.
In this fight you must not dodge be-
hind any man. 1t is not fair.
Hear this! The man who can buy
even one $50 bond and ills to do
it is d Stacker. 1 care 1T for his
boasted interest in the war. His
actions belle his words.
And those in charge of the bond
sale will do their dut This will not
be discharged in full until to every
person. regardless of color, who is

II all the printing Of the county
