DnJX).V, H. C? JULY ?0, 1?11 A man with a grouch came into our place the other day and wantci us to lambast a certain public board because the board had not dont things as he thought they should be done. He was rather severe in his criticisms of the board and when he had delivered himself we told him that we had made a mental, note of all he had said and would I prepare an article to suit his tastes and sign his name to it. He putfed up like a man about to die from appoplexy, blurted ou' that ht didn't want anything written until he saw us again and rushed out of/ the office like 40 demons J?ere chasing him. It never to this man that he was A?j]nng us to do something he wy^ not do for himself. Like others he felt that a newspa?|p had a perfect right to citj^tse anybody or an;, thing displeased it, but the > world fjnd out aome day that :i newspaper represents nothing hut the personal views of the man whose name appears at its mast head and that its rights and privileges are limited to those of tt. average citizen. If the farmers of Dillon county do not get together and offer Clemson , some inducement they stand a ; mighty good chance of losing that experiment station it is proposed to ate in the Pee Dee section. So j ll'is natural advantages are con-! (jpi Dillon takes the lead oyer "| county in the eastern part of ' te, but unless Oillon county manifest a desire to secure ion it is not at all likely . mson will go out of its way ( . ust it upon them. Other; ties are making efforts to see the station by offering lands oe State, but unless Dillon county lands are 'high and it will take quite a neat sum of money to purchase 150 acres for a desirable site but it will be money well speut irccaime an experiment station will [make still better farmers and it is good farmers that make valuable lands. Our citizens should be up and doing. It will not be very long before the committee that has been appointed to select a site for the; station will be visiting the Pee Dt country, and if Dillon county ha; i 100 acres of fairly good land that qan be offered as an inducement wi \ have good reasons to believe that she will land the station. It will I be worth more to us than an agricultural college, but it would take: half a million dollars to build an, agricultural college while we can! get the experiment station for less rj.aii $16,000. Our friend and neighbor, the I>attn Observer, points a moral in the way Oheraw induced 10.000 visitors to come within her,gates on the 7th. The Observer suys the Cheraw folk did not attribute the su cess of the occasion to the base UUI1 gdUlCB AUU Iioiac littcs; IJUl III the excellent manner in which the occasion was advertised. The merchants combined in their efforts to give the occasion all the publicity possible and the result was n crowd so large that It taxed the . resources of the city to entertain hei guests that day. We admirej R the way those Cheraw folks do j things. They know how to draw a! crowd and they are wise enough to I know that every time they bring a: {'Vuvisitor to their city surplus dollars' fall into the tills of their mer-: chants. The Cheraw merchants pu1 up the cash to advertise the big occasion at Cheraw on the 7th. Nc doubt It cost a whole lot of money but they managed to draw 10,00(1 visitors to their town. These visitors left on the average of $2.0C apiece. That meant $20,000 of out side money that had been put intc circulation that day. That $20,0i will build a first class door and sash factory or will erect an ice fa tory that will put more outside money into circulation. Cheraw is a great little city, and the mora pointed out by the Latta Observe) teaches a valuable lesson. F. I). BKYANT 1>KA I). Oldest Member of the Marion llai I'nsse.s Away. Mr. Fred D. Bryant, the oldesl member of the Marion Bar, diet Monday afternoon at the home ol his daughter in Mullins.
