SEW LIGHT PLANT FOR
TOWN OF 0KLLON.
For more than a vear it has heen
evident to persona informed that Dillon
would have to put in a new power
plant. Our present plant is like a
worn out automobile?it needs newparts
from the carburetor to the
. tires. For several months we have
collected an average of $2200 per
month for lights and water. A new
and modern plant can be installed I
complete for $45,000. This will pro- j
vide us with duplicate units 200 i
horse power each or a peak load- of
400 horse power. This plant would
probably be adequate for the town
for the next fifteen years, provided we 1
maintain our present rate of growth, j
It is estimated this plant can be op- j
erated at a cost of $1000 per month :
and our present income would enable i
us to apply $1200 per month to
pay on the original cost. In other;
words the plant will pay for itself.
within four years, provided we can- j
"Ot sell more current and new motorB.'
ler normal times the income from
^ (ci plant can be easily increased to ,
vjf of 0 per month.
** people think we are too poor ,
"to have a new plant. If we do not im- !
prove our public service equipment j
Dillon is fully grown. It can be com-'
* pared to a man at 75 years old. We .
have passed through our best years
to trade with our farmers. If we grow
like towns in South Florida or like
towns in New England, where no
cotton has ever been raised, we need j
new industries and an increased pop-'
uiation. Some towns in the boll wee- i
11 territory will grow and prosper, j
If you think we are in that class get
behind the bond issup and help put
Dillon on the map.

which was carried unanimously in .
the Nichols school district broke all
records, declared S. J. Wall, county
superintendent of education, yesterday.
The voting was 51 to 0 otv both
issues and immediately after the
election, a meeting was called to dis- i
cuss plans for early building and operation
on the new and enlarged scale.
It is the hope of the people in the
Nichols district that the school can
bo finished in time for next session.
The spirit exhibited at the election
was of a most enthusiastic sort and
the desire for better educational conditions
in the district was most pro- 1
nounced. Never before in the history
of the county, it is said, has such an
election been carried without a single
dissenting vote.
During the past six years every ,
district in Marion county, with the
exception of one, has voted bonds for 1
a modern school building and increased
the levy for educational pur- ;
poses. The single exception is accounted
for by the fact that in this district
already these steps had been
taken. The levy previously in effect in I
the Nichols school district was eight j
mills. This was increased to 15 mills.

COMPLETES DIFFICULT
engineering job.
MaJ. Plage Complete* Work After Six
Engineers Had Palled.
MaJ. O. M. Page ia receiving the
congratulations of his friends over
the completion of a most difficult
piece of engineering in the mountains
near Stuart, Va. MaJ. Page was call-j
ed to the work after six engineers'
had failed to map out a road that was
acceptable to the state and federal
governments. The following from The
Stuart (Va.) Enterprise will be of in- !
tcrest to Herald readers:
It will probably be of interest to
the Patrick County people to know
something about the High way now
under construction from the Corporate
limits ofStuart eastward.
The Engineer in charge of Project
No. 65 representing the State of Va.
is Major Otis M. Page, of S. C. Major \
Page is a Veteran of the World War,
having commanded one of the largest I
Engineer battallion ever authorisedj
by the War Department. Major Page;
has a long line of experience, is at
member of the American Society of}
Ciril Engineers. The assistant Engi-i
neer is Mr. H. Hudley of W. Va. Mr. |
Hundley is also a Veteran of the late j
war and was a Lieutenant of Engl-,
neers.
Major Page states that the work:
is being rapidly pushed to comple- j
tion. That the east end of the road i
will be Top Soil. That he is making a'
Dtudy relative to the surface of the
Stuart end and will be able to make I
a definite announlement in a few
days.
All work done is inspected by the
State Engineers and has to come upj
the letter of State and Federal and
Government specifications. All contractors
are under the supervision of
the Engineers. This contract is held
by Burgess and Atkerson of Scottsville,
Va.
The Engineering problems met with
were numerous and complex but the
location finally decided upon is said
to be ideal from an Engineering
standpoint, high supporting ground,
light grades and no sharp curveture
the entire length. These are very important
features in a mountainous
country. TLe Engineer is to be congratulated
on this work.

MORSE ON HIS WAY BACK.
Sails for United States on Steamship
Paris.
Havre, Dee. 5?The steamship
Paris, having aboard Charles W.
Morse, whose presence is desired in
the United States by the Department
of Justice at Washington, sailed at
10:30 o'clock tonight for New York.
Prior to the departure of the vessel
Mr. Morse reiterated that he had \
received no reply from Attorney General
Daugherty to his request to be
permitted to remain in Europe until.
January to undergo medical treat-,
ment.
At the American consulate today it
was said no reply had been received J
tonight for Mr. Morse.
"Come to meet me here sometime;
in January," were Mr. Morse's part-j
ing words to the correspondent of the!
Associated Press. "I surely will be1
back if I'm still alive."
Mr. Morse slipped aboard the
steamer so quietly that many of the
ship's officers were unaware of his
presence until he became dissatisfied '
with the stateroom, which he was
asked to share with another passen-1
ger, and went to the purser and requested
that he be given another I
rooirt. The purser said his request
would be granted as soon as all the
passengers had embarked, if there
was a vacant stateroom available.

EXCURSION DC THOUGHT
The Value of Literature fn Developing
the Emotions. 1
I
R. N. Allen of Latta, Chester Reporter :
It is a rery commonplace fact :
that practically every man and wo- 1
man and every boy and girl Is In love i
at sometime during their respective i
lives. All have alike been created so <
that they fall under the universal I
sway of that all-compelling power <
sooner or later. No one would at any 1
time like to make the rather unfor- i
tunate admission that he or she had <
never at any time during their lives i
been in love, dome people would pre- '
tend to be rather reluctant to admit <
that tViov hat) av?r had anrh a com- 1
monplace experience. Yet to deny I
having had such an experience it to 1
really make a self-admission that they .
had not h*d the qualities that make !
them attractive to some one. It would '
be tantamount to an admission that j
they were hopelessly mediocre, irre- <
vccably commonplace, and without 1
that power necessary to win the regard
of some n le. To have loved and (
lost is a far more endurable fate than
to have never loved or been loved at
all.
And yet while all human beings '
are Bubject to the thrall of love, '
there are few who ever make it 1
their interest to study the vast literature
that has built up around this
extremely fascinating subject. Let '
some one advertise a lecture under 1
the title "How To Be Happy Tho 1
Married" and the last seat will be 1
taken and the "Standing Room Only"
sign will be hung out. People are ]
willing to take the word of some '
itinerant lecturer or Borne peripate- ;
tic reformer upon this subject, but
they never open their minds to the j1
vast treasurers of literature which j'
deal with this subject. It is quite j.
true that many people read and en- j
V-y the finest love poetry but the re-I
ero<fble fart is that those are a
*" r.j] minority. ^
if r-~?n v-Uhci't saying that the (
lives of the great lovers of history ,
are the most inspiring of all bioggraphies.
Once a preacher let me inspect
a volume of a set of books in
hie library entitled "Love Affairs of ;
Great Men," and it proved to- be one |
of the most fascinating of all the',
books on biography that I have ev-1
er seen. No boy or girl could read '
those fascinating accounts without1
' ( Miring tha? after all Love was:
something to be taken seriously, j
Never shall 1 forget the accounts of
the love affairs of that great polit- j
cai wizard of France. Gambetta. To j
have browsed over the volume was i
a privilege that I shall be very slow!
in forgetting.
It would enhance our appreciation
of Dante's great poem "The Inferno" J
if we were aware of the fact that it j
m u q iltonla m atiii m nri f fr* V* 4 o
W Cfr lliauiv, IUUUUUICIII IU AAAO .
heart Beatrice. The magnificent
works of Goethe would unfold their
hidden beauties to us more readi-:
ly if we knew through his biography j
of his numerous love affairs. The
most interesting book that one could
read is one entitled "Love Letters of
Great Men and Women," for therein !
we would havt revealed to us the
deepest sentiments of the human j
heart. To have unfolded to us the
profoundest depths of human emotion
could not but purify our spirits,
ennoble our minds, and create within
us a deeper and firmer resolve to
love worthily and still more worthily
should that experience fall to us.
Sometime ago it was my exquisite'
pleasure to translate from the
French that delightful little memior
of Renan's entitled "My Sister Henrietta."
There is something remarkable
about the love that Rennn'a
of at or hnra far him At timoa
it seemed to me that she loved her
brother more than his wife was ever
capable of. At any rate, she shall
go down in history along with Mary
Lamb as one of those sisters who
devotedly loved a brother. Could
every sweetheart love sweetheart as
Henrietta lover her brother, could
every husband and wife approximate
the wonderful love that this devoted
sister bore for her brother, the divorce
mills would cease forever to
grind. '
A great German critic has said
that Elizabeth Barrett and Roert
Browning were the most perfect
lovers in the history of the world.
Their beautiful love lasted until
death. When Elizabeth Harrell realized
that she loved Robert Browning
with all the depth of her being,
she composed those wonderful Sonnets
in The Portugese. For some time
she'did not even let Browning see
them but when he did see them he
pronounced them pure poetry. Time
and criticism have verified the verdict
of the rapturous lover. To drink
in these sonnets can not but purify
the fountains of mortal love, they
cannot but sweeten the springs of
happiness. 8omehow we feed and
grow off of 'other human souls, be
they good or bad. Th4t Elizabeth Barrett
bared her soul to Robert Browning
ought to make every lover in the
world a better and truer lover.
Just such is the purpose of the
great and 'growing literature of love
and exalted passion?to purify our
too earthly loves, to sweeten the
oorrpdlng add of selfishness lest it
consume our souls, to teach us to
love less selfishly and more unselMl

hogs was made from the pens of the

rrom several points in the county and
were sold to a Charleston concern, i

This car was assembled through
the combined efforts of President

hogs from seven farmers, and the average
weight was 171 pounds. The
shipment was as fine and sntooth a

here. Many of them were thoroughbreds
and these demonstrated the ad- 1
