blue and pink geOrgette hats to carry
out the rainbow color scheme. Little

out the service several selections
were played very softly upon the pi-
ano. Mr.. and Mrs. Herold will live

About $4,000 acres Of land were
planted to cotton in Dillon county
thas year. Based on the yields of
normal years Dillon should have
made this year about $4,000 bales OF
cotton. A conservative estimate
places this years yield at $4,000
bales. These figures indicate short
age of 10000 bales, which at present
prices, would be worth approximately
S1.sOO,OOO. Ask any farmer in the
county what caused this loss and he
will tell you it was due to the eX-
cessiye rains in July and August.
Now the question is, would the coun-
ty have suffered this loss if the lands
had been properly drained? There
would have been some loss, of course,
but would it have amounted to TO-
900 bales? To be conservative, sup
pose we place the loss at one-half,
or 5000 bales, which would in dol
lars, amount to s750,000.0O. If a
system of drainage would have saved
the county that amount in one year
would it not be a good investment
to spend a million or more in dredg-
ing the swamps and draining the
lands? The average man will jump
al an investment that pays 20 per
cent, but here is an investment that
will pay nearly 100 per cent. the
first year and more than 100 per cent.
for the succeeding years, and yet our
landowners shy away from it. But
the saving in dollars is not all. A
system of drainage that would i'm
prove the health of the community,
that would increase the efficiency
and redouble the energies of the
people. has possibilities that cannot
he exaggerated. Another movement
is on foot to drain Maple Swamp. We
do not know how many times this
movement has been under way, but
heretofore it has petered out before
it got anywhere. The draining OF
Maple Swamp will be worth thou
sands of dollars to the town Of Dill
1oR. For every dollar invested in the
way of taxes by the property owners
along its banks the return in cash
dividends will be large. Let's keep
this last drainage movement alive
until something definite is accom-
plished.

The grand jury, as will be seen by
its final report, means to put a stop
to speeding on the public highways.
As will be noted by comparison with
other counties, Dillon has been singu-
larly fortunate in the matter Of auto
mobile accidents of a serious or fatal
nature, but this has been due more
TO luck than to a strict observance
of the speed laws. Dillon county has
it's speed fends and one does not have
to travel very far to find them. a
short trip into the country on Sunday
afternoons convinceS one that it is far
safer to sit on ones front porch and
enjoy the evening breezes. The high
ways are public property and every
man has equal rights in the use of
1hem The statutes say that man
shall not drive an automobile over
them at a rate of speed exceeding %
miles an hour, and when he violates
this statute he has assumes rights TO
which he is neither legally nor
morally entitled. Why, therefore,
should he not be punished? If he
drives his automobile at reckless
rate of speed and Injuries another
person. whether that person be a
passenger in his own car or IN some
other PERSONS car, why should he MOI
be imprisoned? Or if he kills some
other person in the same manner,
why should he not be held for muir
dere In Greenville county reckless
.drJEer plunged a car over an en-
bankment and killed five or six OF
his companions. He Is being hel
for murder. And why not? tt
lives of the people in the car were
in his hands and he knew it. If he
vdh not show proper regard for
human life and drove his car at a
reckless rate Of speed. he Is just as
guilty as the man who, without
pIoyocation. takes up shotgun and
kills his fellow-man. Stausticians
say that automobile accidents claim
a human life every hour. The mex
,orable law of fate infiicts a heavier
penalty for carelessness than man
made law, but man-made law can tt
a great extent minimize these TRACE
dies of the road. The grand jury
deserves and no doubt will have
support of all right-thinkIng citizens
in ;ts efforts to make the highways
safe for the people.

The adult male is about 1919 inches
long The body is stout and thick His

The meadow-lark is particularly
valuable bird. 1t is entirely terrestrial

is harmful to our meadows and grain

90 per cent. of its food consists of
such insects. Even during the winter
