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.
Ground has been broken for the

ped with all of (he best features of
modern dormitory construction. 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. Allen, Latta, H. B. Croxton,
Dillon and Emory Watson, Latta.

presided at the meeting and the fol- \
lowing gentlemen acted a s judges: r
Dr. D. M. Ramsey, Professor M. E. a
Brockman and Mr. T. O. Lawton. r
The subject of the debate was "Resolved
that the annexation of Mexi- c
co to the United States would be for r
the best interests of both countries." t
Those on the affirmative side were B. 1
B. Knight and H. M. Finch, while n
those on the negative side were J. J. t
Nixon and C. B. Allen. The judges s
complimented all the debaters very e
warmly on their work but decided y
unanimously for the negatives. Mr. c
Allen's speech was regarded by many
present as the best speech of the ev- t
ening. t

<ll? i \j 1'lftiio pt wwvm w,. v.w Highway,
will in all probability be a
completed by the first of August, or
by the opening of the tobacco season.
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.

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. (

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

hen all of us must work together

novement and be interested enough

' NO DANGER FROM FLU.
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.

WHY SUFFER SO?

or stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. Mollie A. Pope, R. F. D. No.
i, Latta, S. C., says. "A few years
go kidney trouble was making my
ife miserable. I suffered intensely for
ome time. My* back hurt me so much
hat I would have to press my hands
n on the small of it to ease the
iains. Evidently the trouble affected
ny eyes, too, because very often
lack spots floated before my eyes,
tlurring my sight. I would get teribly
dizzy and had severe headaches.
L neighbor, knowing how I was sufering
suggested I try Doan's Kidley
Pills. They helped me from the
tart and before long entirely cured
ne of this trouble and the cure has
asted, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
[ can't praise them enough."
