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. ,

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. L
He said he had to go out several t
times the night beford on account of| i
Powei irounie. tie snoweu mrj
where he went. The,-e were no,

He said ie went out for t Iris purpose |
about daybreak and saw the body,
through a crack. He shored trie thei
point iiorn which he- saw it. That; j
point was in full view of the body,
