Dillon. S. C. May 6, 1909.
A seventh grade philosopher rc
marked the other day that it wa
reasonable for Charleston and otfc
er seaport towns to want liquor be
cause they must get tired of s
much water*
If the automobile is the fore
runner of good roads it will not b
very long before the public road
radiating from Dillon will be soli
beds of macadam. The automc
bile is no longer a novelty in Dil
Ion; it is rapidly becoming a n<
cessity.
One reason perhaps why cor
tributions to the monument to th
Women of the Confederacy ar
coming slowly is that th
married men are in the majorit
and it is hard to make the mo:
of them believe that the wome
surrendered at Appomattox.
A lien merchant who sells aboi
$80,000 worth of goods on cred
every year told us the other da
that so far this year he hadn't sol
more than 50 bushels of corn nc
more than 2 tons of hay. This
an indication that the Marion coui
ty farmer is learning that it paj
to raise enough corn and hay f<
home consumption, anyway.
The transmission of electric cu
rent from Rockingham shoals
Dillon by means of cable simp
means that Dillon will be link<
to a waterpower capable of develo
ing a minimum of 80,000 hoi:
pbwei. It means also that thei
will be an industrial awakenin
... . * .
who possi unities tnai cannot t
exaggerated because small ente
prises will gravitate toward Di
Ion as naturally as the needle turn
towards the pole.
The census of 1900 gave Dillc
a population of little more tha
1000. The census of 1910 probj
bly will show a population of 300<
This growth is natural becam
Dillon doesn't enjoy any more ac
vantages than any other Sout
Carolina town surrounded by a fei
tile farming country. But if s
much has been accomplished ur
der ordinary conditions what wi
Dillon do when she gets a ne<
county, another railroad and tin
cable connection with Rockinghai
shoals? Just wait until these thing
come, then watch Dillon grow!
To paraphrase a little it migl
be said that the mills of Kentuck
justice grind slowly but with ej
ceeding good results. Judge Hai
gis, the Breathit county feudis
after a career of crime that shocl
ed the civilized world, died at th
hands of his own son whom he ha
brought up in an atmosphere <
lawlessness. And now the patr
cide has been sentenced to 20 yeai
in the penitentiary by the sair.
men who helped the unfortunal
father to trample justice und<
foot. The lives of father and soi
though ill-spent, have served 1
emphasize a truth that history hi
repeated time and again: Tha
justice will triumph in the end.
If the asylum investigations wi
show that the institution is th
dumping ground f^r the hearties
people who take :his means of ric
ding themselves of helpless rek
tires one great good will have bee
accomplished. Some years age
if we are not mistaken, Dr. Bal
cock called attention to the ovei
crowded condition of the institt
tkm and attributed it to the fa<
that scores of helpless persons wh
periodically developed mild font
of insanity were thinst upon th
ease of the institution by relativ*

who were financially ahle to care
__ for them. His protest was in the
form of a recommendation or re- ,
quest to the general assembly to
pass a more stringent law prohib- ]
iting this abuse of the privileges 1
_ of a public institution. If the *
~ general assembly failed to take any (
notice of the recommendation Dr. j
? Babcock is not responsible for the (
overcrowded condition of the in- <
siitution which, it is alleged, bor- |
~ ders on a state of chaos.
1
s The Chamber of Commerce has <
l" been a potent factor in the indus- *
trial development of Dillon, but *
? every progressive citizen wants to 4
see it do still greater things for
the town. There are many things
that need its attention but by far 1
e the most important of all is the 1
Is building up of the local cotton mar- "
d ket. Time and again we have
>- stated through these columns that c
\
I- where the farmer sells his cotton n
there will he also leave his money ^
and it is our purpose to keep drillI~
?u: J i a..
iu& ima iucit miu iuc ucaus ol our ^
citizens until we arouse in them a
deeper interest in the local cotton c
situation. Last year Dillon mar- j
keted a little more than 10,000 ^
e r
bales of cotton. A progressive
t Pee Dee town with less than half
the number of inhabitants Dillon
n
claims marketed 17,000. These
figures show that something is ?
wrong. Surrounded as we are by 1
the most fertile farming lands in 11
the two Carolinas and drawing (
y trade from a radius of 20 miles we
^ should market at least 20,000 bales ,
>r of cotton. This is evidence enough (
s that 10,000 bales which belong 1
1_ to us by right of location are being '
sold on the markets of other towns. ..
11
3r The loss of that much cotton means ?
the loss of that much trade to the i
Dillon merchants. Turn this trade 1
r- back into the tills of the local merto
chants and it will briny: a smile of '
ly prosperity that 8 cents cotton can't c
id rub off. There is a remedy and it i
p- is up to the Chamber of Commerce
se to apply it. Will they do it? 4
