Mr.. John hinson Dies Suddenly

Mr. .JUnn liinson died sudden
ly at his home in east Dillon Sun
day afternoon n / O'Clock. The
cause of Mr.. HinSon'S death was
heart disease from which he had
suffered for several years. 1t was
while sitting on the piazza that
Mr.. HinSon was taken i'll and in
a few moments he was suffering
great agony. DR.. Badger, who
was making a call at house near
by, administered stimulants and
did everything he could to relieve
his SutferingS, but the attack was
so severe that death ensued in a
few minutes.
Mr.. Hinson was born in Marl-
boro county and in early life he
followed the profession of a prin-
ter. Abandoning this profession
he engaged in various other yo-
cations, the latter part of his life
being devoted to the saw mill busi
ness. He was a brave confeder-
ate soldier and served with great
distinction during the four years
conflict.
He was twice married and by
his first marriage there were born
to him several sons by whom he
is survived. His second marriage
was without issue. He is sur
vived by his second wife, who was
Mrs. Sanders.
Monday the remains were taken
to Maxton where they were inter-
red by the graves of his ancestors.
The deceased was 81 years of age.

seems to have been doubly blessed
by kind providence, dwell such
Substantial farmers as O. c. Hayes,
T. L. Manning, L. Manning, w.

for Mr. A. J. c. Cottingham and
Mrs. Josephine Stackhouse, while
further on live f. A. Mccormack,
P. l.. Bethea and others whose
names are not recalled at this mo-
ment.
Excessive rains had fallen dur
ing the early morning and as the
roads were muddy and choppy a
short stop was made at Mr.. Hug
gins place to attach mud chains
to the automobiles. Here it was
discovered that Mr.. Huggins had
very sick mule and while Mr..
O'Ferral adjusted the mud chains
the other members of the party
gathered round the sick animal
and in their zeal to display a pro-
found knowledge of veterinary
diseases. each suggested a remedy
either of which, no doubt, would
have produced fatal results the
moment it was applied. Finally
MIR. Stackhouse suggested that
quart of raw turpentine be applied
to the stomach, and the animal
freed to take the violent exercise
which must necessarily follow.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Stack
houses remedy seemed to possess
more viture than the others, but
none of the party could be in
duced to linger and see the eff
feet.
The next objective was the
plantation of Mr.. Rod Jackson S to
inspect field of corn, reputed to
be of such luXuriant growth as tc
excite the envy and wonder of all
who saw it. En- route to Mr..
Jackson's the party passed many
fine fields of cotton, among which
was the plantation of Mr.. ]. L.
Bennett. Mr.. Bennett lives at
Clio and his plantation is managed
by Mr.. w. B. Horton. most ex-
cellent gentleman and a splendid
farmer. The crops on Mr.. Ben
nett S place were looking fine and
will compare with any that were
seen on the journey. Arriving
at Mr.. Jackson's the party was
shown through the field of .nagnif-
cent corn of which they had heard
such wondrous reports and at a
first glance there was unanimnity
of opinion that the estimates on
its yield had not been exaggerated.
Like other great men who do big
things quietly Mr.. Jackson's car

A heavy rain had fallen and on
the return journey the swiftly
moving machines ploughed
through mud and water like nap
tha launches splitting the surface
of placid lake. Driven by the
throbbing engines they sped on
ward, down by the w. b. Allen
plantation, through Gallavon,
owned by Mr.. J. c. Cottingham,
and on to the plantations of Miss
Lcttie Stackhouse and Mr.. Cade
Sherwood. the objective being Mr..
r. P. Stackhouse's magnificent
country seat TWO miles west of
Dillon where sumptuous repaSt
awaited the party. All through
this section the crops are in cX-
cellent condition and the yield
this year will be far above the
average. In fact all this section
forms part of the circle owned by
the lords and barons of the soil
referred to in previous para
graph. Through here are found
immense plantations, each in it's
elf a kingdom of its own, ruled
over by sovereigns more indc-
pendent in worldly possessions
than were the feudal lords at t he
time of the cruSades.
FORDING A QUAGMIRE.
The only rival of the modern
automobile when it comes to ford
ing quagmires and bogs is the OK.
This fact was illustrated in the
successful crossing of swamp
dividing the plantations of Miss
I-ottic Stackhouse and Mr.. Cade
Sherwood's. Here stretch of
bOttomleSs mud more than a hun
dred feet long was encountered
and the way the powerful REQ
followed by the brave little Buick
tore through it was enough to put
the proverbial OK to shame. AS
the party approached this morass
they were stopped by the whizZ
and burr OF another automobile
driven by young Mr.. Britt as it
tore its way through mud that
touched the differentials of the
machine. The party alighted and
watched the big REQ as it plunged
into the mire and fought its way
through with the energy of a
Turkish warrior scaling a palisade.
Further up tine hill the road had
been freshly worked and the big
Car came to grief the first time by
plunging into deep hole that had
been covered by a thin layer of
dirt. This occasioned only few
minutes delay, however, and soon
the party was gliding over the
highway again with the speed of
the wind.
BY this time the dinner hour
had long since passed and the
party had to forego the pleasure
of visiting the large plantations in
this vicinity owned by Messrs. j..
w. Hamer, Sam Britt, R. P.
Haner, J. H. Hamer, f. R.

most midway between the two Pee
Dees is the garden spot of South
Carolina. When it is remembered
that South Carolina lays just claim
to some of the richest soil in the
Gotten belt this may be taken at
first glance as a rather broad and
unwarranted assertion, but if
there be anyone who thinks the
writer eXaggerates on the fertility
of upper Marion lands let them
take day off before the present
crop is matured and see for them
selves.
Strangers travelling through this
section marvel at the richness of
the lands and one of the first
questions they ask is What
makes these lands more feI tile
than those of adjacent territory?"
1t is because they lie on a ridge
that begins somewhere near the
Horny line and ends in Marlboro
county, passing through what is
known as the famous Hebron
section. The crest of this ridge is
the highest point between the Pee
Dees; it has deep clay sub-soil
that holds moisture in dry seasons
and in wet seasons it sheds water
like ducks back. In other
sections less favored by the laws
of nature drouthS and torrential
rains have almost completely
annihilated crops, while in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant
this section has never suffered a
crop disaster.
1t was through this section that
a party, as guests of Mr.. r. p.
Stackhousc, toured in automo-
biles last Thursday. In the party
were Judge r. O. Purdy and Mr..
Charles Rowland, of Sumter,
and Messrs. c. II. O'FeIral, j. S.
Thompson ard A. B. Jordan.
Led by a big REQ driven by Mr..
O'Ferral and followed by Buick
roadster with Chauffeur Jimmie
LeGette at the throttle the party
left the A. G. L. station at 11.3O
and the first stop was made at
the Col. Stackhouse plantation
now owned by DR.. Stackhouse
and worked by MIR. +. Hubbard.
one of the best farmers in Marion
county. Mr.. Hubbard was not
at home, having gone to Campbell's S
Bridge to attend a fish-fry DR..
Stackhouse was giving to the
managers of his several planta
tions. The party alighted, how
ever, and spent several minutes
looking over the plantation. DR..
Stackhouse has an excellent crop
on this place and will make nearly
a bale to the acre. Thirty years
ago, it was recalled by Mr.. r. 2.
Stackhouse, Col. Stackhouse made
over 700 pounds of lint cotton to
: the acre which is rather extraor-
binary considering the fact that
cotton culture at that time was in
!. a crude state of development.

of a few minutes brought the
party into zone of big landed

Stackhouse's plantation and those
of his neighbor, Mr.. J. S. Thomp-
son. Men who own such valu-
able lands must of necessity be
good farmers and the CROPS on
these two fine estates were second
to none that were seen on\the
journey through the garden spot
Of Marion county. Both have
large fields of cotton that will
produce more than a bale to the
acre.
GREATER THAN JULIUS
CAESAR.
This feeble attempt at descrip-
ton of a trip through such fine
farming lands would not be COM
pletc without word about the
distinguished visitors who accom-
panied the party. Judge Pur ly
is a Eirginian by birth hut he has
lived in this state SO long that he
easily passes for a real South
Carolina gentleman. He is one
OF the most successful practition-
ers at the Sumter Bar, and how
ever inconGruous it may seem, he
is also one of the most successful
business men of the Game Cock
county. When julius Ccasar re-.
luctantlv pushed aside the crown
he was proclaimed the greatest
man of his day but Judge Purdy's
friends hold him in higher regard
than did Caesars, in that after
serving one term on the Bench
with marked distinction Judge
Purdy voluntarily retired and
positively refused second term.
He is easy and graceful of man
ner, charming in personality, and
best of all sincere Christian and
gentleman.
THE MORGAN OF SUMTER.
From the telegrapher's chair to
the bankers Office is a long jump
in less than half a score of years,
but this feat of financial acrobatism
has been accomplished by MIR.
Charles Rowland. It was
while Mr.. Rowland was working
for the railroad that he took
flyer into several business ven
lures. He was successful from
the first, and then fearful lest he
should soon own the railroad his
employers advised him that he
had better leave off the outside
business and look after their afr
airs more closely. Mr.. Rowland's s
rejoinder was that he was making
three times as much on the out
side and he guess he'd better
quit" 1t was not long before he
had established himself at the
head of one of Sumter's banks.
Other successes followed in rapid
succession and suddenly the rail-
road people woke up and found
out what they had lost. He was
offered another position with the
railroad with large increase in
salary and plenty of time thrown
