ARE WE HEADED
FOR THE ROCKSi

Dillon Herald, Sept. %.
Sometimes l almost reach the con-
clusion that Old Nick has the world
by the heels and is headed straight
for perdition," remarked a Dillon
father few nights ago. Il dent know
what is going to become of the next
generation. don't believe l am an
old fogy, but the world has hit a pace
that is too fast for me, and l believe
the automobile and indulgent parents
are responsible for it. In my day
and time two or three couples would
get together and walk to a party. We
had lots of fun out of it. A boy had
an opportunity to talk to his girl and
he could say nice little things to her
and enjoy saying Them. But there is
no walking these days. The boy must
have an automobile. If the party Is
in the same block in which his girl
lives he must have a $4,000 or $4,000
car to transport her back and forth.
He dresses hurriedly, rushes out of
the house, sails into an. automobile
and dashes down the street just like
his time was worth $1,000 a minute.
If his father tells him he should walk
with his girl to and from the party
he objects and says all the boys and
girls in town are going in automobile
and he doesn't want to embarrass his
girl by making her walk, and so there
you are. What the parents ought to
do is to get together and put their
feet down on this foolishenss. We
could start the ball to rolling by get
ting some sensible woman to give
party and put on the invitations "Au-
tomobiles not allowed"
What this parent says is true. The
world is moving forward at an alarm
ing pace and the youth Of the land are
hitting life in high spots. The auto
mobile is largely responsible. AS some
one has said, it has taken the place of
whiskey and its effects are bound to
be seen in the next generation. There
is something intoxicating about it,
particularly among the young people.
Many Of the fathers Of the present
day--the men at the head of affairs
used to carry their lunch to school in
tin bucket. They gathered in groups
on the school grounds and enjoyed the
lunch hour. But not so in this day
and time. Boys and girls of the high
school age are above carrying lunch
to school, and as for eating on the
school grounds--the suggestion would
be considered preposterous. The most
of them go to school in automobiles
and when the lunch hour arrives they
step into their automobile sand go to
their homes. The world must go for
ward, but too fast pace is dangerous
More walking and less riding would
produce a harder race OF men and
women. 1t might pay to get back to
the good old days when all children
carried their lunch to school and no
child was allowed to leave the school
ground during the lunch hour.

Remaining Our Streets.

Since writing an editorial on re-
naming our streets in last weeks is
sue we have heard some unfavorable
comment CT the subject. Several
have called to our attention that it
would serve to mix up records such
as deeds to property which describe
lots of land facing on these streets
whose names are to be changed. We
feel that the ladies should look into
this feature before going ahead with
the plan.

Little Interest Taken.

Mayor Crosland says:
at is a shame for us to lose the
chance of getting this highway. |
called a meeting of the business
men once or twice, and as the people
take so little interest in the matter,
| am as a loss to know what to dc
If the people will show the proper
interest we can get it, but if we sit
down and let it go by, it suits me-"

Published at Cheraw 100 Years ago

We have received the first number
of the Monthly Magazine for the
Southern Climate of the United States,
published at Cheraw, in this State,
by Mr.. Lyon, Editor of the Pee Dee
Gazette. At contains much useful
practical information. and is very
creditable to the village in which it
originated. Charleston has not one
original periodical work of any kind
whatever except the Almanac!
Murdoch Mclean
Born 1889
Died 1863
As stated above Mr.. Mclean took
charge of the Gazette" in 1885 and
edited it till about 1S45 when he was
succeeded by Jar:es Powell.
Mr.. Mclean lived three miles out
of town and owned the mill, the site
of which is known as Juniper. He
was much interested in silk culture
and the growing of mulberry trees
which is the food of the silk worms.
There are still mulberry trees grow
ing at the site of his old home near
Juniper.
