Dillon. S. C.. July 10. 191?. A CITY OF BIG THINGS. If you were to ask the average man of the Pee Dee section what he knew about Greenville, S. C., he would tell you that it was a pretty good size Piedmont town surrounded by r. number of manufacturing enterprises. If you w^re to take him there and show him the place he would come away convinced that it was the largest manufacturing city in the state. Up until a few years ago Greenville was known as a university town ?where a boy or girl could get a good, education at comparatively small cost. There were two good colleges for beys and girls that had a reputation all over the state. These colleges' are there yet and they are doing better work than they did two or three j decades ago, hot Greenville has added to her educational advantages t1distinction of being the largest manufacturing town in the state. We do nr know how many cotton mills are lo- J v uta-u.iu vri wuviue uui we nave aearu it said on pretty good authority that' eoltou mills in and around Greenville are owned and controlled by Greenville capital. For three days last week the newspaper makers of South Carolina were the guests of the city of Greenville. The occasion was the annual meeting of the South Carolina Press Associa-! tlc*n and more than 200 newspaper men from different parts of the state j ebjoyed the hospitality of the Grr/?'? j folk. The program had been well ' planned and it was a continuous: i] round of pleasure from the time the( newspaper men arrival in the city | Monday morning until their departure ' Thursday morning. Mondav and Tues-!' 11 day afternoons they attended tN j baseball games and saw two good ,1 games between Greenville and Augusta. The only disappointing feature of the guines was that Augusta won Monday afternoon's game. "Bub ' Mc-.1 Millan, of Latta, one of the star players in the old Pee Dee League, is playing s"hort-stop for Greenville. He:1 is one of the stars in the South Atlantic Association which is compose'' of Greenville, Columbia, Chailotte, Charleston, Spartanburg and Augv ta. Tuesday aftd.noon the newspaper men were taken to the Judson Mills, which manufacture a high grade of, cotton fabric from sea island cotton. The mills presented each member of tv,. ?..ru- with n hn\ of nrotfv hand kerchiefs manufactured right in the mills. Greeuville's poetic name is the ' Pearl of the Piedmont.'' bin her industrial name is the "Fall River of South "Caiolina.l' As stated above, she is the largest manufacturing city it the state and one of the largest in the south She is pushing Columbia hard for second pla.ee in the li.;t of cities in the state, and if her development for the next ten years is as rapid as it has been f >r the past ten she will be the largest city in South Carolina. Tuesday the newspaper men were' entertained at a luncheon at Green villc-'s newest hotel, nil) imperial, uulargcst and one of- the best equipped hotels in the state, by the Rotary Clnb. an organization composed of Greenville's live-wire business men, and Wednesday they were taken by automobile to Hendersonville, N. C., a distance of 40 miles where they (( Joyed a delightful dinner at the Kentucky Inn: The scenery between Greenville and Hendersonville is beautiful. It is a mountain climb almost the entire distance and while winding round the mountains one ' could look down a sheer precipice for several hundred feet, while alI most as far as the eye could read ; there spread out before the vision i beautiful green valleys dotted here and there with smell settlements ol mountain folk. The scenery was typical of western North Carolina, - which it is said, equ Is that of almost i any country in the world. Returning from Hendersonville the 1 party barely had time to refresh themselves before they were seated at a banquet table in the- large dining room at The Imperial Hotel. Here > they were joined by many of Greenvillo'o ronrocontativp Kuciupcc nnH professional men who helped to make the evening one of the pleasantest oi the many pleasant occasions crowded into the three day's program, i The Piedmont is a great manufacturing centre. It has so many manufacturing enterprises that one is scarcely out of sight of a smoke stack during a railway journey of a hundred miles or more. It reminds one of the great manufacturing section one finds on a ride in a railjway train from Albany to Buffalo, N. Y. Paralleling the Southern Railway jfrom Spartanburg to Greenville Is the i Piedmont Northern electric line, 'known locally as the "Inter-urban.'' This is a trolly line that runs from Gastonia, N. C., to Anderson, S. C., a ; distance of about 125 miles. It operates steel coaches from 50 to 60 feet i in length and maintains a schedule of 30 to 40 miles an hour. The Interurban has contributed largely to the development of the Piedmont section. It has brought town and country together. A visitor front the Pee Dee section | to the Piedmont section wonders why i the former is so far behind the latter in the matter of industrial development. You can count the number of (cotton mills in the Pee Dee on. , the ends of your fingers. This no doubt is due to the fact that the Pee Dee has wonderful natural resources. Agriculturally speaking, it is the garden spot of South Carolina. The fertile lands have not made it necessary for us to build industries in cder to find an outlet for the people's energies. Lands were so productive that fortunes could be wrung from the soil with less effort, and following the lines of least resistance, we have made agriculture the leading industry of the Pee Dee. If we had in addition to our fertile lands, half the industries one finds in the Piedmont the Pee Dee would be the greatest section in South Carolina. And right here it may not be out of order to say that we cannot hope to develop much more as a section until we begin to build manufacturing plants. Our lands have about reached their highest point of productivity and if we are to add to the wealth and population of the Pee Dee we must build enterprises that will convert our raw materials into the finished product. We dream of a net work of trolly and transmission lints reaching out over the Pee Dee and supplying energy for the further development of our wonderful resources, but these things will not come until we show that we have faith enough in our section to back such enterprises with our own dollars. There must be in all things a day of beginnings, and there is no' better time than the present to turn our attention to the development of those enterprises which will not only increase the wealth of our section but provide employment foi a rapidly increasing population that must seek an outlet for its energies in other fields or remain at home in a state of indolence. Without the aid of highly productive lands the people of the Piedmont have dug from the soil enough wealth j to make the Piedmont the loading manufacturing section Qf the . state.' With our fertile lands that produce i so abundantly with so little effort J why shouldn't we take from the soil enough wealth to dot every hillside and meadow with an industry that will convert our raw materials into the finished product?

JAMES JACKSON NOT GITLTY. (Continued from page one.) Pa was jawing at Ma about the old 'papers. The fuss continued after i they went into the big house. Ma ! shelled beans. Lillie May left, and 'Pa about five minutes later. He came back in about ten minutes. In about half an hour he went out again. He went out again and came back before I went to bed. Next morning Pa came in and said, "Lillie May is hanging out yonder with a trace chain around her neck." The two small children went to fed. All but Abraham and Pa went to Aunt Minnie McDowell's. That night the fuss started in the kitchen when Ma spanked a child for taking too much food. Pa took her away trom Ma. Hettie Bockington and Janie Fore, two old colored women, and Mrs. Minnie McDowell, all testified i that they helped undress the dead I bod', and founrf evidence of an out- 1 rage. Her shoes srnd stockings were1] wet. - i W. C. Parhani,.of Latta, a county commissioner of Dillon testified that he had known James Jackson ten . years and his reputation for peaceableness and quietness was good. He t was indicted once by his wife for at- ^ tdnpted rape upon his daughter. Heard his wife had warrant withdrawn. J. E. Henry, T. M. Bethea, T. C. , Allen and Dr. T. J. Allen, all prom- J Inent citizens of Latta, testified that 1 they had known James Jackson 20 to 30 years and that his reputation was goodDepot}' Sheriff Henry Hubbard said that an apron, foId<*l so that it was about four inches wide, was over the girl's mouth and nose and tied in a hard knot behind her head. It \ was drawn so tight that the uose was mashed almost flat when the apron < was taken off. The chain was looped around the neck by being run through the ring. The other end of th'f chain was wrapped around the joist three times and fastened by a link stuck through another link and a stick run through it. Mr. Hubbard said he had experimented and i he could not stand on the trough * and fasten himself with tb e chain | like the body was found. Thisj smair girl could' not havcf placed the: j apron over her mouth and hangedj herself in that position.. Mr. Hub- * bard said that on the day of the in-1k quest, James Jackson was restless.
