'., i Nnind<iiu>ii tnatl matU-r i Dillon. S. C.. NovemfcurfJL 1909. With the new railroad a eer taintv and the new county a stronj probability Dillon is a city full o promise. Our old county friends say tTh< rew county will be voted down 01 lW. 14th., but the fact that the\ exhausted every means to keei from submitting the question t< the voters does not justify thei prediction. Nothing can stand in the way o progress. In less than 20 year an amendment to the constitutioi will make possible the foimatioi of a new county out of the extrem upper end of Marion and tin lower end of Marlboro, with mud less than 400 miles of area. B forming a new county-out of th upper end of Marion the i>eopl are doing only what ought to hav been done 10 years ago and afte the new county is- formed the will awake and exclaim, "Oh, w are just up with the times!5' The movement to form Calhou was opposed by a wealthy and ii T fluential man who lived in the tei ritory of the proposed new count* After Calhoun was formed an they began to build good roac and make other public improve tic*. . montc tnnt riiiorhf fn hiho<> troL .. made by the old county ten yeai PEA before, the wealthy and intlticr Wti^ial citizen tfent to some of th reachecT^w county leaders and had th n manhood and courage to say th: . he was .wrong and that hencefort and forever he would be an advo cate of smaller counties.

I I "" line that has been projected from I Lnmberton to Brownsville by way of Fairmont is ever completed ? Dillon will have connection with | the three great trunk lines of Ihe j south. The Herald has learned i from a reliable source that FairI i tnont is to get a branch of the Ral' eigh & Southport and that a preiliminary sutvey was made from Fairmont to within six miles of i Dillon. Whether the road will ever be extended to Dillon is a question, as it is the rule of railroad. builders to act and then talk " afterwards, but the fact that a ? move is on foot to reach Dillon j with a branch line of the Raleigh f Southport cannot be doubted. There is no telling what point it will come from and it may never e amount to more than a feeder for I the Southern, but if it ?ives Dil. Ion connection with another big: p trunk line it will be woiththehavo in*fA Near View of the President. The editor of the Herald was a f truest, of the Florence Board of Trade at the banquet given in honor of President Taft Monday II night. The banquet was given in n the large auditorium of the Flore ence High School and was attended 1.1V 20(1 ri'iirpm-nlnfivp Vincim.cc ^ and professional men fTom the Pee Dee section. The auditorium was artistically decorated and the Pres*' ident sat at the head of the middle e table where it was easy for him e to see and to be seen bv the ?00 guests. The Stars and Stripes ?vere used for decorations and a >* large portrait of the President was c suspended across the rostrum whyre it was in full view of the guests. Punch and salads were served, followed by the famous " "Pee Dee Pine Bark Fish Stew," l- which is a most delicious and apr. petizing dish consisting of Pee Dee river perch, highly flavored with ' pepper and tomato sauce. The 11 President was served first and as 1" soon as the dish was placed in v front of him he began to partake n of the food with evident relish. The editor of The Herald, in company with Dr. J. H. David, was '* fortunate enough to be placed in e a seat very near the President c where he had an opportunity to lt observe the great man closely I without exceeding the rules of decorum anil his jiersonal observalions of the head of the nation d might be of interest to the readers rr of The Herald. The President is a very large man- His weight is 325 pounds, but despite his e avoirduoois lie handles himself " gracefully. He bears a striking resemblance to Grover Cleveland. His eyes are deep blue and when he is talking to you he looks at ' jfou very intently- He appears to - be interested in everything said to * him and is what might be termed , and interesting "listener." He parts his hair squarely in the middle and is becoming slightly bald ' on the top of his head. Sena" t tor Smith sat at his right, Gov. i Ansel sat at his left and Judge > Woods and Mr. F. L. Willcox occupied seats at the ends of the smnll tabic at which he sat. He is not - a fluent speaker like his predeces1 sor, Theodore Roosevelt. He r stumbles over his words, hesitates, . stares vacantly into space until the word he wants comes to his mind and then he shouts it out with a show of vfgor- When he smiles 1 he is charming but when he laughs s he is simply irresistable. He laughs s from the depths of his soul. It is such a good natured laugh that L, you are compelled to laugh with s him. It is not a giggle nor a e chuckle; not a big, coarse laugh - that can be heard a block away, e but just a quiet, good natured, soul stirring laugh sb full of sit.cer'ty I L and good-fellowship that it simply overwhelms you. His laugh is fad mous the world-over. The President is not a great man, but what he lacks in greatness he makes up in goodness. He is a pacifier?a lover c of peace?a happy medium between f the bold, aggressive, impetuous L. Roosevelt and the mild-mannered, ultra-conservative McKinley. He will hold the nation intact, but na1 ture has better fitted him to peril form the offices of king in a s happy and prosperous empire than i. to execute the duties of president in a republic torn asunder at inL tervals bv two strong political par" ties struggling for supremacy. A Co. a Shucking. ;i The men, women, boys and girls of the families living along Maple Swamp and Little Pee Dee. and e. its regions beyond, are asked to i- join the members of the Ladies' i- Aid Society ?of the Methodist l_* church in shucking a lot of corn given them by the charitable mindn ed, at the Prize House, next door h , Timacci Wafcfioi cmFtf. * \f . - 1 day night, the 19th. of tbepresenl month- The plantation bell will ring at early candle light, and the Husking See will begin at 7.3C sharp. You will know the place by the sign of the Pumpkin. To the couple first finishing their pile of corn a prise will be given, while he who finds a red ear may claim the forfeit, provided of course, the maiden is willing. In additio.. to the fun, which doubtless will prove "fast, full and furious," while the husking continues, (we say nothing in the event a red ear is found) a quartette ^ill render old southern melodies so dear to young and old, while hot coffee, ginger cake and pinders will be served to the thirsty and hungry. An old time cake walk will be one of the attractions of the evening. Admission only 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. Let everybody come: old, young middle aged, all in your "everyday" clothes, and enjoy an evening of harmless amusement, while contributing to a worthy cause. - 1i|i? The annual banquet of the Wofford Alumni Association will be tritfpn at Mnllinc <2 r ?? thfl first Saturday in December at 2 o'clock P. M. At the Latta meeting last year it was decided to place an annual assessment of $1.25 on each member to defray the expenses of the meeting, so each member of the association is requested to send at once the above amount to J. R. Williams, Mullins, S. C.. the secretary of the association. Each member is expected to send his dues whether he intends being present or not. Every man iq Marion county who has attended W offord College or Wofford Literary school is a member of the as sociation, and if any member fails to receive an invitation it will be an oversight on the part of the committee, if you do not receive a formal invitation, send on your dues and notify the secretary that you will be present. The meetings of the past have been pleasant occasions and well attended This should be the best meeting of them all. VV. W. Nickels, Pres. J. R. Williams, Sec. Local Agent Bridges of the At1 lantic Coast Line has been notified that fast trains Nos. 82 and 85 will not be stopped at Dillon after Nov. 14th. The reason assigned for the discontinuance of the stops at Dillon is that a new train will be put on between New York, Atlanta and Jacksonville that will take care of the through travel north and south. The new train is scheduled to arrive at Dillon at 8 45 southbound and 8. 45 p. m northbound. Dillon is very well satisfied with her present schedules and will make a .1 --1 A -1 ell UlC tJIlilllgC. ^ fcpCUlcil meeting of the Chamber of Commerce has been called to take some action in the matter and it is probable that resolutions will be passed requesting the Coast Line not to make the change. The trains cannot be taken off without the consent of the Railroad Commissioners. No Rest Day or Night "I would lay awake for hours without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells of nervousness. After taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep 'well, and the nervous spells have left me." MISS ALMA HUG, R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio. Without sleep the nervous ystem soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep acoompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine Because it sootnes tne irritable nerves, and restores nervous energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it. does not benefit he will return your money. L . - i Lib ^ .. +IT. ? ; AUTOMOBILE PARTS AND I REPAIRING ! ?
