Editor Dillon Herald: I am writing you this note for the purpose of asking the people of our town and county to see if we cannot get together on some plan for a new hotel for Dillon. The one hotel we have and the boarding houses crowded many people are! turned away. Travelling men come here, attend as rapidly as possible to the business in hand, leave on the next train, because tnere is no piuc-3 iui them to spend the night. Fifty thousand dollars would build us a good hotel. It seems to me that there are fifty men in town an-1 county who would put one thousaud each into such a worthy enterprise. I do not mean as a gift, but as an investment. It is true, hotel stock does not pay such a large dividend in money as some other investments, but it would pay a reasonable dividend; and then there is the public spirit and other channels through which such a proposition would be worth while to the community. Why not get a committee of active men to take up the matter and see if the enterprise can be carried through? If there is anything I can do, command me. Sincerely yours, Watson B. Duncan. | LOSES HORSE A XT) BUGGY. R. R. Jackson, who lives two miles out of town, had the misfortune to lose a horse and buggy about two weeks ago. Mr. Jackson thinks the horse and buggy was stolen, as he has advertised all the surrounding ; country and has failed t0 find the' 'slightest trace of them. The horse is 'about 5 years old and weighs about i 11000 pounds. He has a spot of hair ] j rubbed off the flank above the right I 'leg. The buggy is a Hackney and has'; :rubber tires, with the tires on both' 'hind wheels worn off. Mr. Jackson !is offering a liberal reward for the J j ; return of the property or for in for- [ mation leading to its whereabouts, m o 11 ,WHAT MONEY COULDN'T BUY. ( Here's an incident, now published,! for the first time, which makes onej think Henry C. Frick, some time(i before he died was talking with an j friend, a p rominent business man of .wealth, but more noted for his phe- i nomenal popularity and his happy j 'disposition. Said Mr. Frick, very ear- | nestly: "I am a very much richer man < than you, but I would gladly exchange j my wealth for yours if at the same i time I could exchange what I get ] out of life for what you get out of it." Mr. Frick added that he envied ] his friend his great public popular- i ity and his ability to make friends i and to enjoy life. Mr. Frick indicat- i ed that it hurt him to think that his, fellowmen regarded h im as a coldblooded man of affairs interested only in money-making. Doesn't that spell tragedy, to your j mind? < But Mr. Frick is not th^only multi- i millionaire who towards the end of j life, has expressed to intimates a similar feeling. More tnan one uurarich man has confessed to me a like i regret, says a writer in Forbes Magazine. They have been men who in their active days allowed business to j take complete possession of their : bodies and souls, and who neither had i I the inclination nor took the time to endeavor to win the love of their < fellowmen. They sold the finest i things in life for a mess of pottage.1! And when the end came into sight !i they woke up t0 the tragic character!] of the bargain they had made. o American liegion News. 1 i The Local Post of the American 1 Legion met Wednesday night, February 4th. Club rooms have been se- i cured up-stairs in the McLellan Building (formerly the E. L. Moore building), and" we hope to have them ready for occupancy by the next regular 1 meeting, which is the first Wednesday i night in March. About a score of new ] members applied for admission at this meeting and more are coming in i evorv rtftv ] The local chapter of the Red Cross has tendered the Post a banquet, the time has not been set as yet as we hope to have this in our new hall, i Everything points to great success. A local business man has voluntarily of- 1 fered to pay one month's rent on club rooms each year. Of course this was i unanimously accepted and appreciated. Every ex-service man that has 1 not already filled out his application card is urged to do so at once and send in to the Adjutant, as a list must be submitted to the State Adjutant at an early date. W. W. THOMPSON, Adjutant. o DILLON WILL HAVE COUNTY FAIR. Dillon county will have a County Fair and with the cooperation of the 'loyal Diiion uouniy ioiks 11 is going to be the u?ual Dillon county product ?a good one. The Dillon County Fair Association was chartered a year ago with a capital stock of $10,000.00 and about $3,000.00 was subscribed. It first bought from the Bank of, Dillon fourteen acres of land situat-i ed near the town of Dillon and including the old race track. We fixed up the old property and made lots of improvements, but we found that we were cramped for room. In fact we saw if we didn't get more land thatj we would never be able to have a County Fair. So a few days ag0 we bought from Mr. J. P. McLaurin five and one half acres more land. This will give us ample room to have a fair. With the boll weevil looking a people that have raised nothing but cotton all their lives in the face, it is time to turn to something else and !a County Fair is the thing to turn the trick for them, as they have a place to exhibit their produce, live stock, etc. It is planned to have Dr. David in general charge of the fair, he to have charge of Committee appointments and general supervision and Mrs. Jno. Hargrove in charge of the Domestic Art and allied exhibits and we are sure that the ability and energy of the two will give us a real first class, jam-up event; in other words a reg-J ular Dillon County event. We must have an increase of Capital to erect the necessary buildings and make other Improvements needed for the sort of fair we want and having laid our plans before the people of the county we know there will be no difficulty in raising it among the people who believe in and boost the county. A. P. BETHEA, Secretary. o TEAM FALLS IN RIVER. A pair of fine mules belonging to R. S. Moore of Fork fell through Huggins' Bridge Saturday morning and sustained injuries which may render them useless. The mules were hitched to a two-horse wagon and the whole outfit, including the colored driver, plunged into thp stream. Fortunately the water was low and the mules were driven out, but they are so badly bruised and scratched that Mr. Moore thinks they havp been permanently injured. The colored driver1 caught his foot in the swingle tree! was almost drowned. Huggins' Bridge is said to be in bad condition. o David Fass is haviug a Removal Sale?2 12 It. Resolutions and Professions. "?ome he slow or come he fast. It is but death that coines last.'' The guy who wrote that was enjoying the best of health, I bet. "When the Devil is sick the Devil a Saint would be, when the Devil is well the Devil the Saint is he." I've had the "flu" and take it from me Lhere are several things in life I'd rather have, but it makes one think. Your thoughts are apt to be retrospective because the present and future are dark. When the pains in your arms and shoulders are continually shooting up that part of the anatomy where the brains ought to be, you review your life, hunting for an execuse to live on and a feeling of sadness conies o'er you when you find none. You then turn to the different creeds and preachings to find an alibi. All this I did and among otheij things remembered hearing a preacner (a good one) say that Science is Philosophy and that it and Stoicism are about the same. Well, I thought about that and concluded that the good an<j learned divine was mistaken. The very name of C. S. shows belief in Christ and it teaches faith in God (the all father). Stoicism taught no love, but only selftrust. To endure uncomplainingly the ills of life. No hereafter. I rejected the latter as my "Man'' was not sufficient for such a philisophy. It made me think of a boll weevil meeting I heard of that was held this side of the river (Pee Dee) where resolutions were passed something like this: "Resolved: That it is the sense of this meeting that the boll weevils must not cross the river; Further resolved: that farmers over the river should plant no cotton but raise peanuts, beans and hogs." A farmer over in Florence said, commenting on the resolutions, that he did not think they needed to raise any more hogs on this side. The "flu" teaches you a lot about your friends too. One of my friends who has never had it told me that "flu" was not an unmixed evil. He was right. It's mixed with all the different kinds there is. It's astounding how optimistic your pessimistic friend can be about your case of "flu.'' Another deduction from memory?Resolutions on paper gei you nothing nor anywhere. I never knew a professional reformer who ever reformed. I never saw a professional "Teetotler" who did not totle at times. ?, o The Seaboard Air Line Free Traveling Libraries. The Seaboard Air Line Free Traveling Libraries which sustained a serioufl loss in the death of the former Superintendent, Mrs. Eugene B. Heard, is still operating under charge of Mrs. J. Y.

W. T. Evans. Marion, Feb. 6?Capt. William Thomas Evans, one ?* Marion's most prominent citizens, died suddenly early this morning at his residence about two miles north of Marion. He seemed to be in his usual health when a servant went into his room early in the morning to build him a fire, but when he was called t0 breakfast a little laer he did not answer, and his grandson went in to investigate and found him dead in bed. The end evidently came suddenly and peacefully. Capt. Evans was a son of Gen, William Evans and was born at the Bame place where he died. At the tune of his death he was in his 82nd year. He served four years in the Confederate war, being a member ol the artillery commanded by Capt, Thomas E. Gregg of Marion county, and was at Appomatox when Lee surrendered. Soon after the war he married Miss Lucy Stith of Wilson, N. C., whc preceded him to the grave by aboul 48 years, and of this union there was one child, now deceased, whc married H. I. Gasque of Marion. He had two grand-children, William Evans Gasque of Marion and Mrs. M M. Piatt of Sumter. Captain Evane served 12 years as sheriff of Marior county and made a. popular and effi cient omcer. He was one or Marion s most popular and most highly re spected citizens, a friend to every one He will be sincerely mourned by ar unusually larg0 circle of friends. Ir addition to the two grandchildrei mentioned above, Capt. Evans is sur vived by one sister, Mrs. Elija J. Ev ans of Marion.
