THE GLUTTON CHRONICLE
Dillon, S. C., is a commun
ity that, in part, owes credit
for its economy to the trav
eling public, in addition to
tobacco and other indus
tries. For many years, trav
elers have streamed down
the East Coast on U. S.
Highway 301, ^heading for
Florida, and they have stop
ped at motels and amuse
ment attractions in the'Dil-
lon-Latta area.
Now, with the coming of
Interstate 95, which will be
the busiest north-south route
on the East Coast, Dillon
and its surrounding com
munities need to find new
ways to attract the tourist
to their area. The traveler
rushing down 1-95 to his des
tination in Florida or else
where, is going to show little
interest in Dillon or any
other town, unless there is
really some attraction or
special recreation area that
will stimulate his imagina
tion or puriosity.
For a long time, of course,
Dillon has been the nome of
“South of the Border,” one
of the South’s most unusual
tourist attractions — a com
plex of motel, restaurant,
gift shop, and amusement
facilities. It has for years at
tracted many of the north
erners headed lor Florida,
who have been struck by its
clever and unique advertis
ing. Curiosity gets the best
of most travelers. ,
Dillon has many possibili
ties for building its tourist
economy, which include the
tobacco market, tobacco
fields, historical sites, and
Little Pee Dee State Park,
which is not far away. All of
these can give the city a well
rounded appeal to travelers,
in combination with new mo
tel, restaurant, service sta
tion facilities, which are al
most bound to come as 1-95
nears completion outside DiL
ion.
Of course, tourist develop
ment takes time, money, and
a great deal of organization
on the part of civic leaders,
but Dillon has the potential
and the location. Many other
communities would probably
trade places with Dillon, as
far as ‘‘being in the right
place at the right tiijie.”
Dillon Has a colorful and
interesting history, and the
town could develop its poins
of interest and historical
sites into a guided tour for
visitors. Steps were taken at
one time to do this, in con
nection with the county’s
Semi - Centennial celebration
“The Golden Land,” which
was held in 1960. '
“Golden Land” was writ
ten by the well-known pag
eant writer, Kermit Hunter,
ad it portrayed the area’s
history and development. In
connection with it there were
special days — Agriculture
Day, Industrial Day, . and
School Day, highlighting
special activities for these
various groups. Someone
could easily take the concept
of this ‘‘Golden Land” cele
bration, and possibly develop
it as an annual event for
the county. Towns in other
parts of the country have
done this with less potential.
Dillon is a fine, growing
communiy of civic-minded
citizens, and they surely will
see that their community
does not miss the great po
tential of the tourist indus
try, as the busiest Interstate
Highway on the East Coast
goes by their ‘doorstep.’
Someone has said, “many
a traveler has never seen to
bacco as it grows in the
field, and would love to have
he opportunity to pick it him
self.” Dillon couid take this
to heat, and make their
community a center, includ
ing tobacco museum, visits'
many other activities that
to the auction, in season, and
would be unique to folks from
other parts of the nation.
The Dillon area is on the
brink of a new era—and its
people and leaders can, to a
great extent, determine what
the future will be.

THE WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Read John 10:14-18
“Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sor
row which was brought upon me.” (Lamenta
tions 1:12, RSV)
It is recorded in the Gospels that the' Lord often visited
the garden of Gethsemane with His disciples. But how dif
ferent His last visit was from the others! What happened in
that hour is a dark mystery. We think of it only with fear
and trembling.
His disciples did not understand it. Even the most
faithful fell asleep because of weariness and sorrow. Mark
reported that Jesus “began to be greatly 'distressed and
troubled.” Luke wrote about the Lord’s agony, how “his
sweat became like great drops of blood.” Body and soul,
Jesus was'burdened with the sins of mankind. He struggled
with dea'n, man’s last enemy, and needed God’s strength to
be able to finish the immense task of our redemption.. ;
Let us remember fhat it was because of us and for us,
that the Lord of glory suffered. Offering our lives to Him
in gratitude can be our only response.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, we worship Thee for Thine infinite
love and obedience to the Father. Accept our
hearts and lives as our meager gratitude for Thy
sufferings. Give us grace to be wholly Thine in
life and death, and to pray, as Thou hast taught
