A seventh grade philosopher rc marked the other day that it wa reasonable for Charleston and otfc er seaport towns to want liquor be cause they must get tired of s much water* If the automobile is the fore runner of good roads it will not b very long before the public road radiating from Dillon will be soli beds of macadam. The automc bile is no longer a novelty in Dil Ion; it is rapidly becoming a n< cessity. One reason perhaps why cor tributions to the monument to th Women of the Confederacy ar coming slowly is that th married men are in the majorit and it is hard to make the mo: of them believe that the wome surrendered at Appomattox. A lien merchant who sells aboi $80,000 worth of goods on cred every year told us the other da that so far this year he hadn't sol more than 50 bushels of corn nc more than 2 tons of hay. This an indication that the Marion coui ty farmer is learning that it paj to raise enough corn and hay f< home consumption, anyway. The transmission of electric cu rent from Rockingham shoals Dillon by means of cable simp means that Dillon will be link< to a waterpower capable of develo ing a minimum of 80,000 hoi: pbwei. It means also that thei will be an industrial awakenin ... . * . who possi unities tnai cannot t exaggerated because small ente prises will gravitate toward Di Ion as naturally as the needle turn towards the pole. The census of 1900 gave Dillc a population of little more tha 1000. The census of 1910 probj bly will show a population of 300< This growth is natural becam Dillon doesn't enjoy any more ac vantages than any other Sout Carolina town surrounded by a fei tile farming country. But if s much has been accomplished ur der ordinary conditions what wi Dillon do when she gets a ne< county, another railroad and tin cable connection with Rockinghai shoals? Just wait until these thing come, then watch Dillon grow! To paraphrase a little it migl be said that the mills of Kentuck justice grind slowly but with ej ceeding good results. Judge Hai gis, the Breathit county feudis after a career of crime that shocl ed the civilized world, died at th hands of his own son whom he ha brought up in an atmosphere < lawlessness. And now the patr cide has been sentenced to 20 yeai in the penitentiary by the sair. men who helped the unfortunal father to trample justice und< foot. The lives of father and soi though ill-spent, have served 1 emphasize a truth that history hi repeated time and again: Tha justice will triumph in the end. If the asylum investigations wi show that the institution is th dumping ground f^r the hearties people who take :his means of ric ding themselves of helpless rek tires one great good will have bee accomplished. Some years age if we are not mistaken, Dr. Bal cock called attention to the ovei crowded condition of the institt tkm and attributed it to the fa< that scores of helpless persons wh periodically developed mild font of insanity were thinst upon th ease of the institution by relativ* t. L ^g I . " T'.* ' * ... M * who were financially ahle to care __ for them. His protest was in the form of a recommendation or re- , quest to the general assembly to pass a more stringent law prohib- ] iting this abuse of the privileges 1 _ of a public institution. If the * ~ general assembly failed to take any ( notice of the recommendation Dr. j ? Babcock is not responsible for the ( overcrowded condition of the in- < siitution which, it is alleged, bor- | ~ ders on a state of chaos. 1 s The Chamber of Commerce has < l" been a potent factor in the indus- * trial development of Dillon, but * ? every progressive citizen wants to 4 see it do still greater things for the town. There are many things that need its attention but by far 1 e the most important of all is the 1 Is building up of the local cotton mar- " d ket. Time and again we have >- stated through these columns that c \ I- where the farmer sells his cotton n there will he also leave his money ^ and it is our purpose to keep drillI~ ?u: J i a.. iu& ima iucit miu iuc ucaus ol our ^ citizens until we arouse in them a deeper interest in the local cotton c situation. Last year Dillon mar- j keted a little more than 10,000 ^ e r bales of cotton. A progressive t Pee Dee town with less than half the number of inhabitants Dillon n claims marketed 17,000. These figures show that something is ? wrong. Surrounded as we are by 1 the most fertile farming lands in 11 the two Carolinas and drawing ( y trade from a radius of 20 miles we ^ should market at least 20,000 bales , >r of cotton. This is evidence enough ( s that 10,000 bales which belong 1 1_ to us by right of location are being ' sold on the markets of other towns. .. 11 3r The loss of that much cotton means ? the loss of that much trade to the i Dillon merchants. Turn this trade 1 r- back into the tills of the local merto chants and it will briny: a smile of ' ly prosperity that 8 cents cotton can't c id rub off. There is a remedy and it i p- is up to the Chamber of Commerce se to apply it. Will they do it? 4 e S OPENING BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION. >e r.
