Under the euphemistic title,
"for betterment of public schools
and training of children for life
work", Representative Perry, of

put in a like bill, but called it a
bill to tax dogs.
Representative Cotton propos
es, in a bill introduced by him, to
tax the gross receipts from the
sale of cigarettes, cigars and to-

Its Progress, Growth and Devel
opment "Aunt Becky's" De
fense of Senator Tillman Col.
McLean's Address Appreciat
ed. Correspondence of The Robesonian.
For the first time during the
new year I find myself giving
you some of the dots around the
progressive town of Dillon, where
20 years or little more ago the
rank thistle nodded in the breeze
and the wild fox held undisputed
sway over these environs. To
give the reader some little idea
of the progress, growth and de
velopment made, we find at our
side (and will quote therefrom,
if the reader please) a little pros
pectus handed us by one of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce of what Dillon has accom
plished up to date, and we think
the showing creditable; and espe
cially so when we consider that
in thaf time we have had to face
two financial panics of such for
midable proportions:
"Dillon, the pearl of the Pee
Dee, midway between Washing
ton and Tampa, 53 miles south of
fayetteville, in. u., thirty one
miles north of Florence, S. C.,on
the mam line of the A. C. L,
Railroad.
we are proud oi union as a
town to live in, as a town to
manufacture in, as a town to do
business in, as a town to invest
in. we invite you to come, now,
and prosper with us.
Dillon has a population of two
thousand, a suburban population
oi hiteen hundred, a live cham
ber oi commerce two building
and loan associations two pros
perous banks capitalized at $100,
000 the best high school system
in the btate, three churches
Methodist, Baptist and Presby
terian good water, health, good
climate, plentiful labor, cheap
building material, fine hunting
in season, tine hshing the year
round two wholesale groceries
Western Union Telegraph Co.
Bell telephone system, elec
tric light plant owned by city,
opera house, Ladies Civic League,
a 60-ton cotton seed oil mill, a
brick mill, two large cotton mills,
marble works, bottling works,
dairies, four sales stables, three
ivery stables, concrete works,
a $30,000 hotel, an ice factory,
a broom factory, a weekly news
paper, 12 miles of street 70 to
100 feet wide, some of the pret
tiest homes to be found in the
State, only $5,000 bonded indebt
edness, only 6 mills municipal
tax levy."
This represents what has
come to Dillon during an
existence oi a little more
than twenty years throngh
the efforts of live, energetic
business men. And we will add
that Dillon needs a steam laun
dry, a soap factory, a paper fac
tory, a furniture factory, buggy
and wagon factory, sash and
blind iactory, novelty works, a
sanitarium, a bakery, and many
other iactories.
We are backed by one of the
finest farming sections, where
can be found the highest improv'
ed lands in the btate, not even
excepting Marlboro county, fam
ed the world over for having car
ried off the prize for the great
est yield of corn to the acre, the
fastest horse in the Pee Dee sec
tion, etc. We guess you have
heard of all these good things of
Marlboro, though.
We are under many and last
ing obligations to "Aunt Becky"
or her fine defence oi our senior
Senator. It seems that our Chief
Executive is only taking advan
tage of what seems to him an op
portunity to come back at him.
Now the day was when we did
not have much love lor the gen
tleman ourselves, but time has
brought with it many changes so
now we find ourselves almost un
consciously taking his part in
many oi his positions on tne
questions oi the day.
We read with much pleasure
and profit the matchless address
of your elequent iellow-towns-
man, Lol. McLean, delivered on
the birthday of our great chiei
tain, Robert E. Lee. We are glad
you iavored us with such a pro
duction.
With a renewal of good wishes
for all during the year 1909.

have a late spring.
Mr. A. C. Oliver, who sold his
farm here and bought at White-
ville, moved today to his new
home. Miss Katie Belle Oliver
came home Friday for her last
visit here to her old home, but
we hope to have her with us of
ten, anyway.
Miss Pearl Ford, of Page's
Mill, S. C, is expected tomorrow
to spend a few days with Miss
Viola Watson.
Mesdames R. M. Oliver and C.
T. Page spent Saturday night
and Sunday with the former's
mother, Mrs. Rose Pitman, of

family was to spend the night
with his grandfather; Mr.Arthur
Crump holds an important job
with the Dresden Cotton Mills
and could not attend. These
three last named are the three
grandchildren who could not be
present.
By ten o'clock out by the front
gate there were signs that some
thing was doing. Horses, bug
gies and wagons and the merry
laughter of children showed that
there was somebody at the old
home besides grandpa. By 11
o'clock a. m. those that live
farthest away had arrived. Among
those present were: Mr. W. A.

On first entering the house
anyone would have thought that
there was to be a show, and he
would have thought right; but if
he could have looked behind the
long flowing curtain that hung
across the passage he would not
have seen Thauma , or any
thing frightful. On the contrary,
he would have seen whole things
a table laden with whole hams,
whole chickens, whole cakes, and
everything that maketh glad the
mouth of man. Mrs. Mary Gra
ham,one of the granddaughters,
had spared no pains in
making everything attractive,
and with the assistance of Mes
dames A. L. and D. T.Regan, her
aunts, the arrangements were
made lovely. The table was set
at trie west end ot the long pas
sage and was abut 15 or 20" feet
long, with a lovely background
of holly placed along the balus
ters of the stairway.
Among the good things was a
large cake presented her grand
pa by Miss Mary Graham. The
cake was made by her step-mother,
Mrs. W. A. Graham, and was
beautifully decorated. In the
center was a horse shoe with the
date of Mr. Rozier' s birth on one
side and 1909 on the other, and
the edges were neatly trimmed.
And another thing of beauty as
well as good taste was a peck of
Robeson-county-grown apples, by
Mr. D. C. Regan, as good as any
Northern-grown apples and I
would suggest that more people
get the right kind and take more
interest in their orchards. We
have good variety in this country
u people would take interest in
he matter.
Mr. Ruben Rosier, in whose
honor this occasion was, was
born in Howellsville towi
this county, and has spent his
lfe here. He joined Antioch
Baptist church and was baptized
by the late Haynes Lennon when
young man and has lived a
quiet, Christian life. When his
country called him he enlisted
and spent four years in the
war. Truly it may be said that
his life has been one of useful
ness, true to nis uoa ana nis
countrv. a good neighbor and
friend. He still enjoys reason
able health for a man of his age,
asrd mav he still be spared many
days. And if it is the Heavenly
Father s good pleasure, may we
all live to as many days as he has
and may our lives be as sinless
as we believe his to have been.
"Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not
told,
And ear hath not heard it sung,
How bouyant and bold, though it seem
to grow old,
Is the heart forever young.
"Forever young, though life s old ag
Hath every nerve unstrung;
The heart, the heart, is a heritage
That keeps the old man young.'
