Dillon. S. C.. October 28. 1909.
Several choice locations have
been picked out for the court
house.
Those who know say one glimpse
of the "Taft smile" is worth more
than a ten sjx>t.
"We have implicit confidence
in Prof. Colcock's integfity and
ability." ? Marion Star. So have
x we'
It is not probable that Peary
will employ Prof. Colcock to prove
that Dr- Cook did not reach the
pole.
Senator Tillman would be a
really great man if he did not
have such a nronensitv for sDrinc
ing sensations at unexpected moments.
The New County can afford to?
erect a very creditable court house,
in view of the fact that it will not
need a poor house and jail.
Dan Sully, ex-cotton king, will
be one of the attractions at the
State Fair, but Sully will not attract
near as much attention next
week as he did several years ago.
It is reported that the dispensary
winding-up commission is
about to hold another final meeting.
The old dispensary must
have been in a terribly run-down
? condition.
Senator Tillman says he will
not be a candidate for re-election
^ to the senate, unless "they try to
kick him out." Please everybody
insist on the senator's running
again.
', The first name of the fellow
Weiskopf, under indictment in
connection with dispensary label
scandal, is Dennis, but then there
is nothing: in a name?before a
Richland^ury.
Elsewhere in this issue is published
an article from the columns
of the Latta News showing: that
oirr enterprising sister town is being
discriminated against in the
matter of railroad facilities. New
rail roads are crossing the country
on both sides of Latta, but unfortunately
th^ roads come from towaid
Clio?the terminus of the
Latla branch railroad?and as it
would be impracticable to parallel
the Latta branch road, it is readily
seen that neither of the new
roads will touch at Latta while
there is so much undeveloped territory
accessible on both sides.
Circumstances have placed Latta
in a rathpr airnrar/i ivwitinn Knt
1 v.w, ^VA,.
her predicament only adds
strength to the suggestion made
by The Herald some months ago
to build an extension of the North
& South Carolina railroad to Latta
by way of Dothan. Such a connection
would give Latta equal
railroad facilities with Dillon and
she would then be independent of
the Coast Line or the other railroads
which threaten to come only
near enough to do her injury in
a commercial way. A branch
road from here to Latta would
open up an excellent faiming
country, and should draw enough
trade from Latta and adjacent territory
to make the enterprise a
paying one. If the present generation
lives out its days it will
see a network of railways in the
Pee Dee country, and a branch
line from Latta to Dillon would
only be anticipating events by
half a score of years, at the mf/t.

Editor Herald:
he I will attempt to write a few
itg lines to your valuable paper.
I hardly know how to start, as
news is scarce up here, but will
1S" try to scratch a short letter,
of First, I will attempt to write a
brief description of Menton, better
as know as the sand bed.
Menton is the only station on
the new railroad between Little
?e Rock and Qlio. It was supposed
it onetime that Gallavon would be
-e- the place selected, but for some
[er cause it was not, and now they
have a depot completed at Menton,
and one that would be a
in* ciedit to a place of note, and it
rd certainly is a credit to the Sand
is- Bed.

Bennettsville, October 2 4 .
Special: The final report of t
grand jury for Marlboro Oour
called attention to the different
in the books of the county trei
urer and county superintendent
education.
It seems that the grand jury w
unfortunate in not going into t
matter in detail and allowing ti
public to know exactlv what
meant by discrepancies. The l
port of The News and Couri
correspondent has attracted sor
attention, and a number of i
quiries have been made in rega
to the actual differences aud d
crepancies refferred to. That i
port read as follows: The grai
jury finds that there appears to
a discrepancy in the books of t
treasurer and superintendant
education, and it reccommen
the employment of a comp
tentaccountant to a u d i t ti
books of the county." T h
words of the grand jury are
follows: "There appears to be
discrepancy in the book?: of tl
county treasurer and those of tl
county superintendent of educ
tion, and the grand jury did n
receive any adequate explanati<
of the same, and would recommei
that these books, together wi
those of the other county officei
be examined by some compete
accountant.''
In discussing the matter wi
the treasurer and superintende
of education with more mom
than seems to be due that offi
from the books of the superinten
of education. In other wore
the treasurer has collected ai
now has on hand and has credit
the school funds with more mon
than is charged against the trez
urer by the county superinte
dent of education. The collectio
by the treasurer and recor
thereof correspond as they shov
with the books of the county aui
tor. The county superintendc
of education says that the Com
troller General has instructed h
to check out this money and d
pose of it by apportioning it i
cording to the rules governing t
application of the coustitutiona
mill tax. ? The amount involved
about $1,000.

Last Thursday the usual sports,
Were at the Dillon track
Others who like to meet a crowd,
Yet the grand stand WMu't packed.
A test of speed between two steeds,
Alfonso and Marguerite.
Each counts their friends by many scoi
Victors in many heats.
In all great battles lost and won,
Where death and carnage reigned
The horse has played a noble part.
And numbered with the slain .
Ever in song and story told.
Of matchless deeds performed,
The sunken road at Waterloo,
Fame; brightest page adorn
On many a marble pedestal.
The horse shares equal fame,
Beneath his master's noble pose,
He shares his honored name.
But this ideal day. to test the speed.
Was all that sports oQuld crave,
Alfonso and Marguerite.
Looked the racer willing brave.
First heat, Alfonso led the race.
The second was all his own,
The third that put all doubts at rest,
Drake's matchless steed had won.
A thrilling sight it is to see,
This victor on many fields
Alert, alive to his master's oall
to show his rival flying heels.

r" stalled two gins- I have been
told that he is doing an extensive
he business ginning and he also has
of a store, and though small, it adds
ds so much" to the place.
e_ I will stop writing about that
little place now, for I don't know
anything else to say; will try to
e tell more about it later,
as The latest new county news is
a that we can get the area and now
^ if we can only get the votes we
are sure of the success of the effort
e of many years and I trust the wisha*
es of those who have been workot
ingso hard, and so long, will soon
3n be gratified, and that before nineteen
nine |is gone, we can be a
brand new county all to ourselves
with Dillon the county seat,
s. I guess that I had better not say
nt any more about the new county,
for it is talked about enough any^
way, and by some that are competent
to do the subject justice
nt but I am not.
ey I must say a few words about
ce Little Rock before I close. Our
d. depot is about done, and it cer
I tainly is an improvement to our
s' little place. It is true that it is
not growing ver> fast, and it will
ed be a long time before our hamlet
ey will be as large a place as Dillon if
ls_ ever. But we surely are expecting
some improvements, and feel satn~
isfied that there will be.
ns Now I don't think that they
ds have commenced paving the streets
ild yet, and don't expect that they
will soon, but I do think that Little
Rock has a bright future, and we
n hope to see business buildings and
lP" magnificent dwellings erected here
im before many months,
is- I am afraid that some of the Judlc_
son people will always be dissa,
pointed and some what jealous of
e Little Rock and Menton, because
' 3 they wanted the railroau to be

more convenient shipping facilities
than heretofore, and I hope
that the "pinder and cracker'*
crowd will soon become reconciled,
and not think hard of us for
appreciating what they worked so
hard for, and failed to getNow
it is not my intention to
touch any one's feelings by saying
the "pinder and cracker crowd,"
re? and hope that no one will be offended
by being called a member of
that "Class," and hope they will
not think I mean to say any slight
of them, but I did hear some of
the people up there spoken of as
the 'pinder and cracker" crowd
and surely it isn't any harm to
joke a little.
I had better bring thte to a close
for it is too long now, unless it
was of more importance.
Wishing you much success,
"Brown Eyes."
