Business has loosened up, money l
has begun to circulate freely again ]
and we hope those of our subscri- '
hers still in arrears will not torcet |
us when they begin to settle their J
accounts. We have been lenient
with our readers on account of the
scarcity of money and now we
hope they will return the kindness
by paying up their dues.
We do not need money ourselves (
but the fellow we owe does.
Dr. A. G- Buckner, who sue- i
ceeds Rev. J. A. Wilson as pas- j
tor of the Dillon Presbyterian ?
church, will move to Dillon from 1
Clio about the middle of the pre- i
sent month. Dr. Buckner and t
family will occupy the Presby- t
terian Manse. Ir. addition to the t
Dillon church Dr. Buckner will <
serve Pee Dee and Kentvre 1
churches. Dr. Buckner will re- 1
ceive a very cordial welcome to v
Dillon where he has many sincere
friends and warm admirers. 1
The Herald is not at liberty to J
?ay anything1 definite at the pre- ,
sent time, but it has found out t
from a reliable sou race that an- j
other railroad will soon be pro- t
jected toward Dillon. We can't :
say where it is coming from or ,
what direction it will take after j
leaving Dillon but there is a move- ^
ment on foot, backed by strong t
men to bring another road th t ough x
here and The Herald may have ,
something interesting to say ^
flhoilt it in thp near

Mj\ H. McRea has returned J
from Hot Springs, Ark., where he '
has been taking treatment for ?
rheumatism. He was greatly benefitted
by the trip. Mr, McRae r
traveled through the cotton belt ?
on his return home and he says 1
the crops in Alabama, Mississ- c
ippi, Georgia and Louisiana are s
very poor and that he sees no rea- ?
son why cotton should not sell ^
at a high price this fall. In many 1
places, says Mr. McRae, cotton 1
was not six inches high and was *
almost destitute of fruit.
Now is the time for merchants i
who contemplate a campaign of f
advertising this fall tr? .
spaces before the choicest places i
i in the paper are taken. The abundant
yield of cotton in this section (
promises a record-breaking cash i
trade this fall and the merchant s
who does not get his share dur- 1
ing the pext four months will be !
left out in the cold. Newspaper 1
readers are learning every day <
that the merchant who has goods (
to sell is not afraid to advertise 1
them and if you want your share i
of trade you must use printer's ink <
freely to get it. v
Work on the new railroad is be
inj4 pushed as rapidly -is could I)
Expected and the rail has bee
laid as far as Gallavon. The fore
lays on an average of half a mil
af rail each day and at this rat
they should reach Dillon by th
middle of the month. They ar
shipping cotton from some point
between here and Clio now am
is fast as the track is laid cars ar
uished out to the terminus am
loaded with the tleeey staple. A1

Mayor Hargrove has been di'-hin

How a^onkey Pleaded.
In Harbadous the monkevs fre
juently injure the sugar cant
\s a general thing, however, the;
ire inoffensive creatures and tin
iverage planter regards them witl
jood-natured tolerance. Once ii
i while however, they commit ;
ittle too much damage on tlv
growing cane, and an example ha
o be made of one poor culpiit b;
miuuiiuk ?i iiicniuei 01 any panic
liar troop of monkeys that may b
ound near the scene of destruction
Excising the dead bod y as a war
ling is usually sufficient, and tin
:ane is no longer attacked.
On one occasion great damagt
lad been perpetrated, and thi
planter?Clarence Agard, now re
iiding on St. Lucy, Barbadous?
vent out with his gur. to act a
:xecutioner. He succeeded ii
solating one stray simian in ;
ree that was detached from al
idjacent shrubbery. The i>oo
inimal, realizing that it was trap
led, rushed upto the topmos
>ranch, and then looked ii
he most appealing manner at tin
nan below. The latter finall;
aised his gun, and was on tin
loint of pressing the trigger whili
he monkey suddenly took a littk
nfantile replica of itself from if
jack and held it out in the mos
iunplicating way conceivable.
The planter, who is fond of ani
nals, had his heart quite touced
ind he promptly lowered his gun
\ companion, however, in his en
leavor to see what else the poo
.imian would do raised his gu:
ind apparently once more its liF?
vas in danger. Then ensued ;
nost striking exhibition of animl;
easoning. The monkey at one<
p-asped the fact that her first clain
or consideration had apparent 1
ailed, and the only reason lie
ntelligence could suggest for th
ailure was that the infant simiavas
not regarded as her own gen
mine offspring.
What was to Ix done? Hov
xiuld she convince these two hu
nan brutes that sne really was
lad and distressed mother? i
lappy thought occurred to hei

iropped the leaf; and again hcl
tier baby to the gaze of the a<
tounded men below. Needless t
say, she escaped with her life.
