From time to time there has some talk of extending the jrporate limits of the town and if e citizens of Dillon are in earnest tit the matter they should earM,'it their purpose before the ct census is taken.

R. P. Hamer, Jr.. Chairman, Co. Democratic Party. Will Try for Ellcrbe'i Scat. Sellers, February 1.?Special: Senator Thos. I. Rogers, of Marlboro, was here yesterday on his way to Columbia to resume his duties in the upper house. While here he publicly announced his intention of being a candidate for Congress against the present incumbent, his cousin, the Hon. J. E. Ellerbe. The political pot is beginning to boil in the new county territory. Every man up there is either a candidate himself, or he has some friend who is anxious to serve the dear people and whose interest he is pushing. The people of that section of old Marion have heen held out of the political crib so long that they appear to be real hungry for office.?News and Courier.

Editor Dillon Herald: Appreciating that it ia of the utmost importance that the First Senator of the New County of Dillon should be one well knowh, respected and influential among his fellows; of established reputation for patriotism, devotion to duty and interest of the couuty, and believing that R. P. Hamer, Jr., possesses these qualifications to an eminent degree, as voters we beg to suggest his name, as in all probability it will be submitted, to the Democratic voters of the county for Senator, subject to the rules of the primary. Mr. Hamer has declined to submit his name at this early stage as the primary does not come off in April but August, and he refrains from any action that might indicate an endeavor to forestall any other by being an "early bird." Yours truly, Voters. Feb. 7, 1910. By authority of State Chairman Jones notice is hereby given that on Monday, Feb. 21st., 1910, a convention of the Democratic party of Dillon county will be he d at Dillon for the purpose of electing a member of the state excutive committee and transacting such other business as may seem proper.
