There were a number of people who
signified their acceptance of Jesus
Christ as Saviour at the close of the
meeting last night. The services con-
tinue to reach and influence many
strong, vigorous men who have hereto
fore given little or no attention to
these things.
The chorus and orchestra continue
to render most effective help. There
have been many expressions of appri-
citation from the people with regard
both to the preaching and the service
of praise.
The morning services are well at.

The contribut on by Messrs. ].
w. and T. A. Dillon settles the
question of court house and Jail,
and now that it is over and there is
no possibility of the people being
taxed for public buildings, we
want to ask why the proposition
to bond Marion county for SIS, 900
90 for the erection of a court
house at Marion died so suddenly
at the last session of the general
assembly? There is a possibility
of this proposition being revived,
whether the New County is form
ed or not, and as there is hardly
any one or two men in the old
county patriotic enough to put
up $4,000 for this purpose,
it would be good policy for those
who opposed the New County be-
cause they did not want to be tax
ed for a court house and Jail to
vote themselves out of the old
county.

BERMUDA REPLIES TO IT. c."

Editor Herald:-In looking
over The Marion Star of the 18th.
instant note an article headed
A Deplorable Condition" signed
by IT. c." an alleged resident
Of Bermuda. Now in all fairness
to IT. c." and all other old coun
ty men Gas every man is entitled
to his opinion) l think ct. c."
has gone little too far when he
says the last New County cleo
ton at the Bermuda poll the
New County managers did not
let the old county men have tick
cts until late in the evening""
And as the New County is stronger
at the Bermuda poll now than it
was before don't think this state
ment should go unchallenged. l
am not seeking controversy, but
am fee to say that if there is
any old county influence at this
poll there are no New County votes
for sale. Now if some good man
from Dillon would come over here
with a quart of one tX he might
get an old county vote changed.
IT. c." wants The Star to see
that managers are appointed in
the next election so that the old
county voters will get justice, and
| am heartily in sympathy with
his suggestion, as the new county
men have done so much in the
past they will bear watching.
What we have been striving for
all the time is justice and no one
will be happier to see justice ad-
ministered to all concerned in the
approaching election than the
writer. We are praying for the
success of the New County anG
we hope to see all of our New
County friends turn out and vote
for the New County on the 18th.

LATTA BOOMING.

Editor Herald:-Latta is a grow
ing town. We understand that
Messrs. Tolar Bros. are going to
open up their property near the
Graded School which will offer
Some of the incest building sites
ever offered to h e people of
Latta. They will begin at once
to grade new streets and sidewalks
and put out shade trees. This
land being we'll located we see no
reason why it should not build up
rapidly, and will give those wish
ing to come to Latta to educate
their children an opportunity to
buy a nice building site at a rea-
sonable price. The new sub-div1-
sion is the place to invest your
money, even if you do not care to
build as lots always increase in
value as soon as the erection of
buildings begins. They will ad-
vertise this property and have an
auction sale which will be seen in
your paper later.

because the court house will |be'
accessible to every resident in the
New County. Look at the map
of the New County and then note
how the A. c. =. and the North
& South Carolina railroads cut
the territory irto squares, with
Dillon as the centre. Located as
she is, almost in the centre of the
New County and with railroads
radiating north, south, east and
west, there is not resident of the
New County who cannot reach the
court house by rail and return
home the same day. This fortu-
nate circumstance makes Dillon
geographically, logically and prac-
tically the place for the county
seat.

The Main Issue.

Now let US all make a mighty
pull for the success of the New
Countyron Dec 18th. The S25,-
10000 contributed by Messrs. J.
w. antlT. A. Dillon for the erec-
tion 9f the public buildings, pro-
videdt e county seat is located at
Dillon, 'emoves the last obstacle
in the Way of the movement and
the tire has come for every
loyal New County man to put as
much tine and energy into the
fight as he can possibly spare.
There are no strings to the con-
tribulior made by the Messrs.
Dillon. The money has been de-
posted n the local banks and two
checks for S12, 10000 each have
been male payable to and issued
to Mr. v. T. Bethea, trustee and
treasurerof the New County Cen
trail Executive Committee.
The min issue is the New
County, and the little friendly ri
valry that might arise over the To-
cation of he county seat is sec
ondary to the main issue. Every
town, hamlet and community in
the territoy of the New County
has righ to make bid for the
county sea and Dillon is not sc
hoggish" in the matter tha
she does nd want other section
in the territory to show an ambi
tion to became the capital of the
New County.
Dillon is fully alive to the fac
that there i: some little CONNER
cial advantage in having a court
house right It its doors, but il
realizes also that the whole upper
Gnd of Marion county will be
greatly benefited by having a
county of its own, regardless OF
where the county seat is located
and they are not, by any means,
allowing the location of the county
capital to overshadow the main
issue.
The object is the New County
and people who have fought as
long and as persistently without
flinching and without murmer of
complaint at the great odds and
overwhelming difficulties put in
their way by the opponents of the
movement are bound to succeed
and our prediction is that the 43rd.
county will be added to the map of
South Carolina after Dec. 18th.
