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

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

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

so dear to young and old,
while hot coffee, ginger cake and
pinders will be served to the thirsty

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.

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.

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

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.
