After the Delinquents.

A representative of the State High
way Commission casually dropped in
to Dillon the other day and some ten
or twelve automobile owners who had
neglected to secure 1919 licenses
were from $40 to $25 poorer, besides
the regular license fee, when he left
town. Among them were some of the
towns most representative citizens,
but the pleas Of being too busy to
attend to it" or having forgotten
it" were Of no avail and the unfor-
tunates had to come across with
the usual fine. These gentle
men were not trying to evade
the tax, but had neglected to
send in their applications with the
usual fee. The representative OF the
Commission explained that the owner
of an automobile was liable fer the
whole years tax even if his car stood
under the shed and was not used
until the last day of the year. other
automobile owners who have neglect
ed to secure their 1919 licenses
should profit by the sad experience
of their less fortunate brethren.

j he Negro Turning Back to Dixie.

+ Atlanta, Ca, April 12-The south
etn negro has found out that the
south is the best place after all. This
is evidenced by the constantly increas-
ing stream of negroes "homeward
bound" from the army and from the
north, where they set out some time
ago to find the promised land"
Evidently many of them failed to
find it, for, according to some of
those who have found their way back
to Atlanta, "there amt no place like
Georgia after all.''
They are finding out that the north
treated them well just SO long as
they were needed, and that when the
time came they were showed out to
shift for themselves. Climatic condi-
tions and everything else aided in the
lesson, and they wanted to get back
TO. the sunny south and "de quality
folks" This is summary of how
they all feel, though they express it
differently, of course.

Postmaster Needs More Help.

Postmaster Hargrove says IL the
business at the local postoffice con-
tinues to increase the government
will have to provide more help or the
service will suffer. The Dillon office
has been made the. central office for
all the offices in the county and the
present force is not equal to the task
of handling this increased business
and giving the patrons the service
they should have. Postmaster Har-
grove has asked for additional help
but has been unable to get 1t. The
present force is handling twice the
amount of business 1t handled two or
three years ago and the volume Of
business is increasing every day. Sup
plies for every office and rural route
in the county are handled through
the local office and it keeps the entire
force on its toes every minute OF the
day to handle this extra volume Of
work and put UP and dispatch the
mails.

After the Cider Dealers.

Mayor Hamer is taking prompt
and vigorous measures against the
dealers in a certain brand of cider
that carries a kick stronger than the
law allows. The mayor had before
him Saturday several merchants who
have been handling the connection
that serves as poor substitute for
the real article, but each DEFENDANT
entered the plea that he did not know
it was a violation of the law to han
die the stuff and upon the promise
that they would discontinue the sale
of it only nominal fines were I'M
posed and they were dismissed with
the warning that second offense
would mean the limit of the law
The stock of cider found in each es-
tablishment was destroyed in the
presence Of the officers. 1t Is said that
the article contained 8 per cent. OF
alcohol.

END TO NEURING's LIFE.
War Minister of Saxony Killed il
Dresden and Body Thrown in
Elbe

Copenhagen, April 13-Herr Neur-
ing. war minister in the govern OF
saxoy, was killed at Dresden yester-
day by disgrunted Soldiers to whom
the minister had refused a hearing.
The war ministry was stormed by de-
monstrators who dragged out Herr
Neuring and threw him into the Elbe.
where he was shot and killed as he
tried to swim to the bank.
4 Wounded patients in the Dresden
hospitals says the Dresden dispatch
detailing the occurrence, collected in
the morning in the theater square to
protest against an order issued by
Herr Neuring to the effect that the
wounded in the future should receive
only peace time pay. Five or six hum
dred men formed a procession to the
war ministry and sent a deputation
to see the minister. who refused, how
ever, to receive them. g.
Upon this the crowd melted by COM
munistic speakers, stormed the en-
trance to the buildings. The sem
tries used their weapons but were
oyerpowered. Government troops
were summoned but they declared
they would not attack the crowd and
marched off after surrendering their
arms.
An excited crowd meanwhile, had
.thronged the square in. front of the
building and machine guns posted at
yarious points were firing on the min
istry. At A o'clock in the afternoon
the demonstrators had forced their
way into the main building, followed
the war minister to the upper story,
where he had fled, and dragged him
cut into the street.
After the minister had been Sc
yerely maltreated by the crowd ne
was hurled from the bridge into the
river. When he tried to swim to the
bank the demonstrators fired at him
and within few moments he dis
appeared under the water.

on Scott they placed him under ar
rest.
Joe Ruffin, father. of the three
negroes who were killed, drove up
in his high powered car and is alleged
to have opened fire. The two officers
and Scott and three of the Ruffin
boys were killed there. Stephens, who
had been especially active. against
blind tigers was not only shot, but
his head and body were beaten. He
lived nearly two hours, however.

Prices for this years tobacco crop
have been the subject Of no little dis.
cussion recently, especially among
those farmers who have hoped by put

farmers have been warned against
putting too much land in tobacco.
Nevertheless quite a good deal OF 1t

the, effort is being made to keep the
expense down to the minimum.
Mr.. r. D. Cothran, a tobacco

devotional service led by Mrs. Floyd,
district secretary, who stressed the
Importance of prayers Of the great

out of membership of sixteen.

ject of Christian Stewardship with
especial emphasis on the financial
side. AS result of this earnest ap-
peal showing so clearly that every
thing belongs to God that we are only

mendous responsibility resting upon
the Missionary Societies as a result
of the great world war.
Mrs. L. Cottingham, successful
