If KNEW YOU AND YOU KNEW
ME-,

"If | knew you and you knew me,
"Tis seldom we would disagree: e..
But, never having yet clasped hands.
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right
And treat each other honor bright"
How little to complain there'd be
If knew you and you knew me.
Wiener we ship you by mistake.
Or, in your bill some error make.
From irritation you'd be free
If 1 knew you and you knew me.
Or, when your check don't come on
time,
And you omit to drop a line. g..
We'd wait without anxiety 49,. ..
If i knew you and you knew me-.
Or, when some products you fire
back 60
Or. make "kick" on this or that,
We'd take. it in good part you see,
If knew you and you knew me-. Z:
With customers ten thousands strong
Occasionally things will turn out
wrong
Sometimes our fault, sometimes
theirs -.
But forbearance would decrease all
cares. ..... ......
Kind friend, how pleasant things
would be ...
IF knew you and you knew me.
Then let no doubling thought abide,
OF firm faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give;
Living ourselves, let others live;
But any time you come this way.
That you will call we hope to pray
Then face to face we each shall see,
And I'll know you and you'll know
me"'.

Town Politics Stirring.

The commissioners of election have
ordered a primary for the second
Tuesday in March for the purpose OF
nominating a mayor, six aldermen
and a commissioner of public works.
There are three announced candidates
for mayor, H. L. Breeden, DR.. j.
H. Hamer and J. D. Hargrove, but
so far there are no announced can
didates for aldermen or the vacancy
on the public works commission. No
issues have developed as yet, but 1t
is said there will be two important
issues in the campaign, viz: The paw
ing of .- the streets and - better
lighting facilities. Friends OF the
several candidates will arrange for a
public meeting some time before the
election and these issues will be dis
cussed. In the meantime the candi-
dates are having very little to say.

War Pictures at Everybody's

Manager Benfield of Everybody's
Theatre has secured from the govern
ment the great war serial, Under
Four Flags" which will be present
ed at Everybody's Theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday nights The
pictures are actual scenes taken on
the field of battle by an official pho
tographer and are under the direc-
ton of the committee on public in
formation. The idea Of the govern
ment is to show the people Of Ameri-
GA the hardships and dangers our
boys suffered in France. Manager
Benfield says he would not be able to
show the pictures if they were syndi-
Gated because the cost is too great,
but in its cam paign of education the
government is letting the movie thea
tres Of America have the pictures at
a nominal sum.

Miss Helen Janette Rankin, the

far has had nothing much to say. Her
appearance is good, but unlike men,
she has no time to take up in dis
cussing every Item of bill. The mil
| itary bill has been before the house
since before Thursday, as perhaps
many readers have seen, and will
probably finish Monday. The military
bill is for over an eleven. hundred
million dollar appropriation for sup
porting the army for the. fiscal year
ending June 3Oth, 1920. In this is
included money used for not only
keeping up the army at home and
that portion of it which is abroad +;
and for transporting back home the
troops which are to be returned.

$4,000 for Dillon Postoffice.

The public buildings bill presented
to congress last week gives Dillon
$4,000 for new postoffice. A tel
egram was received from Congress
man Ragsdale Friday afternoon say
ing that this amount had
been agreed upon and that it
would be included in the bill. The
government purchased site for the
postoffice several years ago for the
sum Of $75O0.00. The site is oppo-
site the court house and handsome
postoffice building facing this magni-
ficent structure will add greatly to
the appearance of this section OF the
city. 1t is not known when work on
the new postoffice building will be-
gin, but it is not likely that ground
will be broken any time this year.
Material is very scarce and workmen
are not so plentiful. 1t will take about
six months to complete the building
after ground has been broken.

Mrs. Wilson Shopping in Paris.

Paris Cable
Mrs. Wilson with Miss Benham,
her secretary, has passed many spare
hours shopping in Paris, much to the
enhancement of her wardrobe. Be-
fore she was married to Mr.. Wilson
she frequently came to Paris and
was we'll known in many of the fash
ionable dressmaking establishments.
Indeed, she has not forgotten her old
veldeuses, and she is delighted when
she enters the shops and finds them
welcoming her.
Recently Mrs. Wilson went to
Worth's and asked for Nine. Birot,
who served her ten years ago., She
saw all of Worth's gowns and told
Nine. Birot she had always preferred
French gowns and was pleased to be
in Paris, where she again could see
them first hand. She made an en-
gagement to return to Worth's to see
the new spring models during the
first week in next month, when she
will place her orders.
The spring openings give every
promise Of being the brilliant fashion
shows that they were in pTe-war
days. Women of the American peace
delegation will attend many of these
openings.
Mrs. Wilson probably will be In
vited to several private exhibitions OF
gowns just prior to the formal open
ings.
All the Paris saleswomen who
know her declare they never had a
more charming and gracious custom
er than Mrs. Wilson. Some OF them
even remember her favorite colors
and have made special models, hop
ing they again may be able to claim
her as a customer.
One Of these saleswomen said Mrs.
Wilson always was fond OF purple
and wore it more than any other col

Error in Advertisement.

The Herald printed the large two
page circulars for the big sale Of the
Latta Dry Goods Co., which starts to-
morrow at 9 o'clock. The same cir
cular is printed in the form Of a dou-
BILE page advertisement in this issue.
In the circulars "Dress ginghams"
were advertised at "9 cents.' This
should be "19 cents" The error is
ours and not the Latta Dry Goods
Company's. But Mr.. L. Kornblut. the
proprietor says the ginghams are

to get your share of this big bargain

As Much Cotton on Half the Acreage

If the cotton acreage in the South
should be reduced one half and a
sufficient, but economical amount of
plant food added in fertilizers, ma
nure and soil improving crops, as
much cotton can easily be made as
we have averaged the last ten years,
on half the acreage, and the profit
will be many millions greater than
when the larger area Of land was cul-
tivated, and the soil because of this
liberal and right feeding, would be
better with each year. This would
leave one-half the land now devoted
to cotton and a good deal OF extra
time and labor to go to growing food
and feed crops.
If one-half of the reduced acreage
were devoted to food crops and one
half planted in peas and soy beans
during the summer, crimson clover,
vetch, or other soil improving crops
for the winter and spring and these
crops turned under for the improve
ment of the land, and fer growing. in
part (around one half. next years
crop OF cotton, then the fertilizer bill
could and would be rapidly reduced
in a few years, and so changed that
only phosphoric acid and potash, in
the main. would be needed for the
future.-The Progressive Farmer.
