ing with this statement he forthwith
put on his store clothes and silken
necktle that took the shine off of
Josephis coat, and started out on
tour of inspection for the woman Of
his acquaintance After perusing
over the country for week he finally
settled the matter in his own mind
that Miss Pauline Pridgen was the
most attractive lady IN the land, and
forthwith he laid siege to that young
lassie's heart. True love ran smooth
ly in this romance. She, Miss Pauline
Pridgen, being of tender years, only
sweet sixteen and still a lover Of
the romantic, listened to the overtures
of Capt. Barnes with great favor and
then the unspoken word that would
make him blissfully happy or sink him
in the depths of despair was waited for
in fear and trembling, and when yes
came in soft, sweet whisper, he felt
as much relieved as if the foot of an
elephant as big as the late Jumbo was
lifted from his anxious heart. Then
to him all nature seemed changed.
The grasshoppers and katydids sang
sweeter than ever before. Every
breeze that came seemed laded with
the fragrance Of roses and, gently

his vacation. Mr.. Warren says we
are getting to far away from
states rights; that We are centrallz-
ing the power of government IN
Washington and it is time to call a
halt. Mr.. Smith is prohibitionlst.
He, too, stands for the 18th amend
ment and voted for the Volstead act.
He says the enforcement act is neces-
sary; that prohibition would be a
farce without it. He says it Is not
too drastic; that if it is modified it
will let down the gap to bootlegSers
and law-breakers. The issue is clear
cut. The race Is being watched with
interest, not only in South Carolina,
but throughout the nation. 1t is evil
dent that it will be test Of senti-
ment in a strong prohibition state
on the Volstead act-a law which has
caused quite lot of serious discus
sion throughout the United States.

THE CONSUMER PAYS

Lots of folks are wondering why
they have to spay such prices for
wooden goods when the price of raw
wool Is so low. The government says
there are four billion pounds of
virgin wool in the worlds store
houses and the manufacturers used a
hundred and thirteen million fewer
pounds last year than in 1918. The
reason is that manufacturers are using
old woolen rags, mixing them with
a small percentage of virgin wool. 1t
is claimed that in some cases these
old rags are reworked as much as
eight times. Not only has this prac!
tice crippled the wool industry, but it
has flooded the markets with an in
inferior quality Of so-called woolen
goods. 1t is fraud, pure and sim
pie, and the men guilty OF such prac-
tees should be hailed before the fed
eral courts

Considerable interest is beng
manifested in the outcome OF the
race between Smith and Warren for
the United States Senate 1t is not
because the friends of each candi-
date are considerably worked up"
over their favorlte, but because the
race has narrowed down to ques-
tion of issues instead Of men. Geo.
Warren is a young man. Until he
entered the race for the senate he
was practically unknown outside OF
his congressional district. Senator
Smith has served two terms in the
upper house Of Congress and is known
to nearly every voter in South Caro-
lima. Before he entered the cam
pa;Sn Warren raised an issue which
he advocated strongly on the stump
and which was just as vigorously de-
Tended by his opponent, Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Warren is a prohibitionist, but
he wants the provisions Of the Vol
stead act modified. He stands for
the 18th amendment, which swept
whiskey out of the country, but he
says the enforcement att-that is the
Volstead acts too drastic Mr..
Warren thinks women should be all
lowed to make a little wine for per-
sonal use; man should be allowed to
make a little cider for personal use;
and a good citizen should not be
called a law-Ueaker if he takes a
legally acquired bottle, out of his cell
lar and carries it along with him on

HAPPY MARRIAGE AT FAIR
BLUFF
Mr.. Elihu Muldrow Tells of Happen
ings in North Carolina City

Dear Herald: 'Tis great pleasure
to visit your sanctum occasionally
and watch how earnestly and dill
gently you exert yourself to keep
pace with sthe newspaper world and
your neighbors in their several call
ings in adding more dollars to their
bank account, and from observation
along these lines Dillon is on the
upgrade as to growth and enterprises
and will continue so as long as Dill
lonites pull together.
This old Tarheel towns greatest
source of wealth comes from tobacco
and coonskins. The later is of huge
proportions, and while the fur sea-
son lasts thousands of fur-bear1ng
skins find their way to Pats, tthe
mayor and high cockalorium and
coonskin king of the town. Often
some new enterprise gets an airing,
but soon falls down and the present
outlook is that the old town will trot
along at her usual pace for years to
come.
The Baptists are in fair way to
have a resident pastor, which will
add much for the uplift of the town
and as the folk that wish to marry
are often, put to lot Of trouble to
find the proper official to tie the
matrimonial knot, his coming Will
end their trouble.
Some times quick trip to the
marriage altar is made, as was the
case of Capt. Alex. Barnes. 1t was
on Thursday of last week when the
wedding bells were ringing joyously
in the back country, a few miles out
Of town. The captain was the prime
factor in this nuptial climax, and also
q prosperous farmer, rich in fiocks
of goats, hogs and other domestic
animals, such as CANNES and cats. The
captain being widower of a few
months standing, by chance or other
wise,' came across that passage in
Holy writ which said: 'Tt was not
