o
DILLON'S NEED OF A HOTEL.
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

,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.

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.

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.

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.

"?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.

Capt. 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. The funeral will b<
tomorrow afternoon at the residenc*
of the deceased, and the intermen
will be in the cemetery at the Firs
Mehodist church of Marion.
