ESTABLISHED 1894 THE DILLON HHRALD, DILLON. SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MORNING, APK1L 21, 1021 VOL. 27. NO. 82
^ ?
I*- W JOHN !>., Jr., GIVES ADVICE.
k,
K v^ockefeUer Tells Members of His
Bible Class How to Pick a Wife.
f It is risky for a man to marry a
r woman of a different nationality or of
a different religion, according to
. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. No man, he
^ said, should let his heart alone guide
a' him when he decides to choose a
wife, but he should also be guided
^ . by his head. These sentiments were
R' expressed SundRv mnmlne hv Mr.
I Rockefeller before the Young Men's
Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church, at 4 West Forty-sixth
street, New York, of which he is
honorary president.
The Sunday school lesson was on
the life of Sampson, and Mr. Rockefeller
blamed Samson's marriage
with a woman of the Philistines to
his failure in life.
"We might well pause here to discuss
the importance to any man of
the selection of his wife." said Mr.
Rockefeller. Regarding the failure of
mahy men to exercise enough care
in the selection of their wives, he
said: "We may well assume that is
the, reason why the divorce courts of
the land are so shamefully full."
m. "There are few things so important
as the selection of a wife," continued
Mr. Rockefeller. "How many
of us have seen th8 lives of our
J; friends wrecked because th.y have
5^. x. ^elected the right woman.
TOt is a pretty dangerous thing in
Ml rtcting your wife to choose one
from a foreign nation, though there
are cases where it has not proved a
^ failure. It is a risky thing too, to
^ yoke oneself for life with a woman
Zjp of another religion. Once In a while
? this goes all right, but often it does
^ not.
Ij. "It seems to me that in the selection
of a life partner the heart and
If* head should be used. J am saying
.y v?i?i ?il/ AAtO.lI AO 1UU113U W I1U lt'is HIS
Ik heart run away with his head in selecting
a wife. A man should sit
down agd prayerfully consider how
that woman and he will agree.
^ "We can but look with scorn upon
any choice of a wife for anything but
gf' happiness and love? There is nothing
W" more disastrous than a marriage for
money or social position. It seems
to me the more points of interest begr^
tween husband and wife the surer
W" there will be happiness."
Rowland's Interest in State Debate?
K Debaters Deserve Praise.
^ From thg. Rowland Hi Echoes.
^ The r.nnual state debates were held
w* Friday night, April 1, 1921. There
were two hundred and twenty four
towns to enter. These towns were
k grouped in triangles. Rowland was
grouped with Maxton and Fairmont.
jg Maxton's negative team debated at
W Rowland. Rowland's negative at
^ Fairmont and Fairmont's negative at
5*9 Maxton. The query for debate was:
* "Resolved, That the Policy of Collec9
tlve Bargaining through Trade Unions
Should Prevail in American InB
dustrles." The debaters for Rowland
were Eva Dickinson, Margaret RobA
Sbsorf, affirmative; LeVerne Adams,
S Traham McKinnon, negative- Both
B of Rowland's teams were defeated,
hut the judges said it was close. The
debaters delivered splendid debates
and they are worthy of representing
the school.
Immediately after the debate a reoeptlon
was given in honor of the debaters
at which sandwiches and
A punch were served. The Maxton debaters
left about eleven o'clock, afA
ter expressing that they enjoyed the
whole tinve of their stay immensely.
HIGHWAY THROUGH DILLON.
If present plans do not miscarry
F*"" it is likely that Dillon will be on a
W highway connecting the north and
|PRr south by the time the tourist season
\ comes again. The plan is to parallel
flw- the Pennsylvania railroad from New
1^" York to Washington, the R. F. & P.
flfcr from Washington to Richmond and
the A. C. L. from Richmond to Flor
Mr Ida.
The plan is not of recent origin.
Other states hav? been working on
It for some months and it is undergo?
stood that every state and county
through which the proposed highJL?
way runs hafc *made arrangements to
HE: do its part- Very little work will have
to be done on the roads from Washington
and beyond. A hard surface
road parallels the Pennsylvania from
New York to Washington, *nd the
most of the work will have to be done
south of Washington. Virginia says
she will take care of her part of it.
HP North Carolina has voted to build
her part of the road, and South CarHr
olina has made arrangements with
. the several counties through which
flP the road passes to do their part.
a Chairman McLaurin of the County
Board has been at work quietly on
"at Dillon's part of the proposed hlghiHk
way. Dillon was asked to build seven
ljt\. miles of road to connect with the
aHk highway at the North Carolina line,
Rh and Mr. McLaurin has made comLHk
{%*te arrangements for the construcl?"

will render, aa a varied and well-se- 1
lccted program is always given. The

of the "Purple Hurricane" minstrel' i
which scored such a success at the i

A Gymnasium.
e I From the Rowland Hi Echoes.
The school of Rowland has great,
u expectations of a gymnasium, (and aj
{ moving picture, too, perhaps) in the ;
/ near future. The school is indebted to ;
r the J. R. C. Council of Rowland High 1
School for the suggestion of this and i
the carrying out of the suggestion.)
The moving picture can be used for
educational purposes and also may be
, used to help pay for the gymnasium.
The gymnasium itself will be a
great benefit to the school and to the
health of the students. It will come
in especially well in the winter when
the weather is bad and none of the
pupils want to play out of doors.
il They can then go into the gymnasium
e and get all the exercise they want
is and need. So we will be healthier
1. at the end of the year than at the
is beginning.

is a very difficult matter for the
average man to comprehend the ser1
vice that southern banks have rendered
and are rendering the people of
the south in preventing the sacrifice
of the cotton crops. To most people
e the situation looks hard and some individuals
perhaps entertain a feel^
mg that the banks have not been generous
with them. Except for the
e banks of the country the present
crop would have sold for less than
0 6 cents a pound, and if the situation
is finally worked out as it will be,
the country ia going to have the
banks to thank for it. Probably nev

p banks carried such a load as southn
err. banks have carried this year and
never before have banks been more
genuinely generous. There are those
s who without knowing or caring what
8 they say, assert the banks are doing
g it because they have to. That ia act
>. true. With very few exceptions the
a banks are able to take case of themK
selves, and if they were less generous,
q tkey would be less mindful of the
welfare of the country as a wholn.
