Page is placing on sale a complete map of Dillon county. Maj. Page spent considerable time compiling the map and it is a highly creditable piece of work. The map ? * ?11 lon/J_A?morQ ! carries uig uawc ui an iauu-unuv<? in the coijuty, showing the location | ot the farms and settlements. Itj gives the boundaries of the 28 school { districts and the number of square miles each contains. The maps are handsomely lithographed and the first installment has been sold. Maj. Page is expecting another shipment soon. Next to cotton more, pounds of jute are manufactured each year than of rany other fiber. The iute Industry dates from 1824 when the, East India Company shipped somjfe samples to the Dundee flax manufacturers for experimental use. The Dundee industry progressed rapidly and soon it practically controlle d:he world mar, ket for manufactured jute. o A clergyman who, had (teen preacn-i ing some miles eway was returning' home at a late hour. He noticed1 that the occupants of one house had | left a window open so he decided toj warn them. Putting his hea through the open space he called out: I "Halloa, good people.'' That was all he said. A pan full of water struck him in the face and as he staggered back a woman shrieked: "Didn't I tell you what you would get if you didn't get home by ten o'clock?" o COUNTY'S POPULATION 25,278 County Makes Substantial Gain But Several Towns Show Decrease. ' Armrdine- to the urelimitiary an-! nouncement just made public by the 1 Census Bureau, the population ofj Dillon county is 25,278, against 22, 616 in 1910. Out of the eight incor-j porated towns in th ecounty three show a decrease in population. They j are Latta, Bingham and Mallory. j Kemper has gained only one citizen j in the ten years, while a most extraordinary condition exists at Fork, | in that for every death in the past ten ; years there has been a birth and for every person who moved away a new citizen has moved in. The figures at * least indicate this extraordinary condition, as Fork is credited with the 134 population she had ten years ago. Evidently there is something wrong with the figures giving Latta's population. In 1910 Latta had 1,358 citizens. The last census gives her only 1,079, or a decrease of 278. Any one knows that Latta's population has increased in the last ten years. The following figures were issued j by the Census Bureau: Lunon county, zo.tzs; istu, 22,615.
