DILLOX BOY WINS HONORS. jC. B. Allen Makes Splendid Address Before Furman Literary Society. The students of Furnian University have returned to their work from holiday visits home, and again the dormitory accommodations are crow^ tied to capacity. During the holidays -Jfour of the students attended the " great Student Volunteer Convention at Des Moines, Iowa. The men who went were Jake Rasor, Cross Hill, H. M. Reaves,, Union, W. H. Barfield Jefferson and E. M. Harrison, Plant Fla. Mr. Harrison went as the president of the State organization jot Student Volunteers. They have just returned filled with a new enthusiasm for the great cause of missions. They will speak in a great many of the churches in Gteenville and vicinity. The fall term has been a marked success. The academic work of the students has been very satisfactory and the football season was probably the best in the history of Furman. Out of nine games played Furman won six, and was defeated only by Georgia Tech, of Atlanta, and Davidson, of North Carolina. The game |J>etween Furman and Clenison was a Wtie, the score being 7 to 7. Furman ^defeated every other South Carolina team played this season. Those defeated were Wofford College, of i Spartanburg, Presbyterian College of Clinton; Erskine College, of Due ^yWest; The Citadel, of Charleston; 'Wake Forest, of North Carolina, and Oglethorpe, of Atlanta. The baseball season promises to be equally as good as several good players of last year are still in school. The college is now in the basket ball season. Coach Laval is working hard with a very promising group of fellows. Several good games are scheduled and those who love this form of athletics will be gratified by good sport.

Each two students will have a suite of three rooms?a study well lighted and ventilated with separate sleeping rooms on each side of the study. Each sleeping room will be fitted up with such accommodations as will make it home like and delightfully comfortable. It will probably be the best dormitory in the state and will accommodate in the neighborhood of 150 students. It is expected that this dormitory will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the next session. The student body is far the largest in the history of Fhirman University. There are now enrolled 288 students. They come from all parts of South Carolina, and there are several from other states. One comes from China. Every county in the state except eight Mis represented in the student body. W The following men from Dillon r county are enrolled in Furman Uni1 versity this session: C. B. Allen, Latf ta, C. J.

This highway joins the Florence, Marion and Mullins highway, also the Marion, Dillon, Bennettsville and Cheraw highway. Work on the improved roads this side of Gal- 1 ivant's Ferry was begun last May or June and it is stated that the con- ' tract calls for its completion within I twelve months from the time work s began. Projects for improving the * timber roads consist of eleven timber trestle bridges and earth embank- v ment of one lumber truss bridge 'v across Little Pee Dee River at Gali- r vant's Ferry on the line between Ma- ' rion and Horry counties. The approv- C al of the Highway Commission was i' given on March 18th to $27,339.00 Federal aid. The crossing at Galivants t Ferry has been blocked for eight t months, but while it seems that a a gieat deal of time has been taken in ti tearing out the old bridges and rais- o ing the earthen embankment, it is s one of those big undertakings which give Horry County a greatly improv- t ed connection with the remainder of t the state. The territory around Gali- o vant's Ferry is noted for its large yields in money crops and more important as tobacco growing section. o s Blot Out Illiteracy. |p Editor Dillon Hearld: jl Much is at present being said about f the blotting out of illiteracy in our state, and much is also being done. 3 Special teachers have been secured a for the teaching of adults who can l neither read nor write, the course to s go through the third grade. These t teachers have been place! in the dif- i ferent counties and Dillon county has p her share. r Already classes have been called t to which no one responded and then t of course the teachers c ould only r move on t0 some o ther district. Nev- j er was there a greater opportunity f for those who, when they were grow- r ing up, were deprived of the prlvi- 8 lege of going to school. Yet, s0 many i seem not to understand and appre- l ciate the value of knowing how to i sign their own checks, and how to read and write for themselves. ( DSSSSSEESSSSI / B???????????????????????0???) Far i 1 I naBBfflfflBsgiaaE Surely they must not understand vhen they refuse to attend classes at light that will cost them n othing nd will not even cost their county tor district anything. The class that I now have at sight onsists of only three members, all nen, one 15 years of age, one 20 and he other 37. Each of these three earned to write his name the first light, in addition to learning to write he alphabet, tip to the figures, and everal words. Indeed, n o man could iver regret the two hours that it took lim to learn to write and recognize iwn name. There should be a hearty co-operaion between the teachers, the trusoil thno- Vnnwn nf f'ripiids CCD CIUV4 fill ? k*h0 can neither read nor write. If re are to blot out illiteracy entirely, hen all of us must work together re must be interested in the great novement and be interested enough o give our time and thoughts to .ction.

Washington, Jan. 19?Although here was a slight increase in the lumber of influenza cases, especially n Chicago District, reported to the 'ublic Health Service today, officials aid there was nothing alarming in he present situation. The disease is of mild type and rith a low death rate; they said, rhile the number of pneumonia cases esulting is small. The outbreak of nfluenza at Ca mp Grant and the Sreat Lakes Naval station is subsidn&. Officials of the.service pointed out hat as only 1000 eases throughout he country were reported last week s compared with more than four nillion cases a year ago. the spread f the disease has hardly reached a tage to cause anxiety. Public Health Service officials said hey had received no report from heir representatives at Havana of an utbreak of influenza there. o WHY SUFFER SO?
