interesting romance of rural life
in South Carolina, is now on sale 1
at the Herald Book Store. Zach c
McGhee, the author of this timely
and interesting work, is a f
brother of Prof. S. H McGhee, r
formerly superintendent of the
Dillon Graded School. Mr. Mc- 2
Ghee is the well-known Wash- a
ington correspondent of the s
Columbia State and the same ^
vein of humor which runs through .
all his writings and which is so .
familiar to the readers of the 1
State newspaper characterizes r
nearly every page of the "Dark $
Corner." The book appeals ]
strongly to South Carolinians be- (
cause all the scenes are laid in
this state and the characters *
which have been so faithfully de- t
picted by the writer are the same t
characters that one meets in the j
every day affairs of life. The
price of the book is $1.00.

One of the most unsightly things
in the public streets is the waste
paper that is allowed to blow all
over town and collect in corners.
We are considering the purchase
of galvanized garbage cans with ,
covers to keep all waste paper and ]
other trash in. i
The flower garden at the passen- <
ger station has been planted in }
grass, with a center bed of collod- ,
imus, cannas, violets and other ]
flowers, and a wire netting will be
put around the enclosure to keep
out do^s and other nuisances.
We hope that this will soon be
a more attractive looking spot to
the people of Dillon as well as to
the traveling public.
The doll, Buster Brown, voted
for during our Xmas Bazaar, has
never been claimed. If this number
is not sent in after thi9 final
