These worthy young ' men not only have given a lot of jp I their time, but at a considerable j,., ! outlay bought their instruments lo j and seen red the service of a com ca i petent man to teach them. To place themselves on a solid ^ financial foundation, got up a vot- ,,j ing contest as to who was the most popular young lady in Dillon, the ^ prize, it gold watch of sterling worth. A] ? On last Friday night at Evans' Pharmacy,while the band discoursed sweet and inspiring music, the I votes were counted. The candi- "I dates in tiiis election and votes receivcu, are as follows: " mi Miss Ola Stubbs 723 Maud McDonald 2,422 CI Eula Moody 124 ce Whitley 70 Kate McDonald 6,867 _ Myrtle Stubbs 3,076 I Ada Smith 47 I In due form, with a neat and I clever speech, embodied with every | | possible good wish, and that the ? pulsations of her loving heart i would never bv sorrow or di> appointment go faster than the measured tick of the watch, and the prize was presented to Miss Kate " McDonald whose sweet smile of D< thanks was ample reward for the friends that cast the 6,867 votes J expressive of their goodwill and 1 high appreciation of her worth. The band can now boast of being Dl out of debt wi'h a neat little sum in the bank, on the high road to success. <u-t out of^flSrold ruts, should its be, from nofPbn, the watch word in of Dillon county. Let the past so an far us it impedes progress be for- ov gotten. Tis ot the present that wi concerns every citizen, both great n< i and small. To the man who skims re I along in his Si 800 automobile as lie well as the one who takes his jour- it neysin a sti ieklv private way, with- ri? out the aid of gasoline or his coach pe and four, on his bare feet with no th locomotive force, save the Ixines wi and si news that Hod gave him to us hush his averdepois through the te sand roads that has ail along the is centuries worried man and beast. si? 'I he time lias come when we should 1< have it said, as the old Romans wl did. "That all roads lead to Rome" ce and they should not only lead to ar Dillon, but should be the shortest ah l and best that labor and emrint-.M-. ,'f ing skill can produce. In our sis- m tor county across the grc". Pee gi I>ee, roads along the railroad lints w< and paraltl with them, has been re opened, distance shortened by wi mayy miles, and as a main road, ar other roads from every point of the th compass lead into them. The re- be suit is, civilization keeps up with to tnis much needed progress, cotta- pr ges spring op like magic al.rng the new cut roads. Evidences of white T lead and roses blooming- all over a the t ards and front porches, while te pumpkin pies, that gr?at fore-run- pr ner of ad\anced culture will lie on found on every mans table, con- m. trast this with the condition* near lei home- For instance, our near neighbor Hamer, only six miles distant, but when you compute A miles by the depth of sand along ^ the way and the strain on dumb animals, fifteen miles would be a low estimate of the distance you Jnow travel It is a good and wise ? , ;,b.?n of things to eultiv ite a W neighborly feeling, but to do this, it is imperative that a way to do go j jti|| I MA * ust be provided. New the probm is, how to get to Hproer. The 1 >st of bnilding a road, just out 1 the right of way of the railroad 1 en bridge Litile Pee Dee and the f oblem is solved. To clay the 1 >ad by way of Stafford's bridge i ould cost far more than to bridge c ittle Pee Dee, while the new road c ould be comparatively free from 1 nd. Why not make Hamex, Lat- ^ .
