SUCCUMBS TO APPOPLEXY.
NJ. j. Mcdonald suddenly Stricken
Last Thursday Night.

Dillon county lost an upright and
honorable citizen last Thursday
night when MIR. NJ. J. Mcdonald was
stricken with appopleXy and died
within a few minutes. MIR. McDon-
aid was conversing with some
neighbOrs who had come over to
spend the evening when he went out
on the porch to get Il drink of wa
ter. Returning to the room he
seated himself near the fire place
and started to resume the conver-
sation when he was stricken with
appopleXy and died in Is minutes
without regaining consciousness.
The day previous to his death Mr.
Mcdonald had been in the field as
sisting his son in gathering corn
and appeared TO be in the best of
health and spirits Neither him
self nor his son with whom he had
spent the entire day had the Slight
est intimation that death was so
near, and his sudden demise was a
terrible shock to his family and
friends.
Mr.. Mcdonald was one of the
leading and substantial citizens of
the Carolina section He was q
man of quiet, unassuming manner
who lived by the golden rule of
10 ye unto others as you would
have them do unto YOU" and it was
natural that he should die as he
had lived-in the friendship and
esteem of all who knew him.
Mr.. Mcdonald was SO years of
age and his entire life had been
spent at the old homestead near
Carolina church where he was born
and reared. When quite a young
man he was welded to Miss Kate
McLaurin, of Marlboro county, who
preceded him to the grave some
years ago. From this union was
born one son, who survives him
and who has been his helpmeet
and companion during the long
years of his widowhood.
His surviving brothers and sis
ters are Mrs. w. J. Stone, of Clio:
Mrs. w. McInnis and Mrs. ]. It.
Fostering, CT Dillon; and Mr.. F..
M. Mcdonald, of Bombay, Fla.
He was a member of the Wood
men of the World and a member of
Auroro Lodge, A. F. NJ, of Clio.
Followed by a large concourse of
friends and relatives his remains
were laid to rest at Carolina church
Friday afternoon, with Masonic
honors

SURVEY STARTED
ACROSS RIVER
WILL MAP OUT THREE ROUTES
There Will RC Three Lines Run
Through Pee Dec Swamp AMI
People interested May Select a
Route That Will Suit Them.

Definite and concrete work has
been started on the proposed road
across Pee Dee swamp, which is to
be known as the Eastern Carolina
Good Roads Association road. and
il is expected that not many moons
will be allowed to rise and set un-
til the wagons and the automobiles
can Cross the river near the pres
ent railroad bridge, and the people
of this section Of the State will be
able to hold communication other
than by mail and rail.
Prof. Goode Holmes, in charge of
the work of the government in this
state, who has taken great inter
est III this very important piece OF
engineering, and has gotten the gov
ernment interested in il, has charge
OF the survey and with his assistant
engineer is pushing the prelimi-
nary work as rapidly as possible.
1hese engineers will run three
lines through the swamp as they
see the most practical line
Secretary Husbands OF the associ-
alton has the matter in charge. and
to him the government agent will
look for the expenses OF the sur
Ney, and 10 meet these expenses Mr
husbands made a hurried canvass of
the business interests Of the city
and raised what will be Florence's
portion of the expense, for there are
three counties, Florence, Dillon and
Marion united in this enterprise. lie
expects the other two counties tC
raise their quota at once, and they
Will probably do so.
The engineers will give Mr.. Hus-
bands for the association blue
prints of the three lines that they
will run with careful estimates and
suggestions on each, and the peo-
pie of the three counties will then
select the one that seems to them
the best for the purposes.
If the delegations in the legisla-
ture Will cooperate in the matter
as they are expected to there will
be no delay in the construction OF
this much needed highway

enviable record. People and capital are
coming into this state, seeking work and
investment. This means rapidly in
creasing values in all lines. There is no
better opportunity for safe investment
of your surplus capital in this United
States than our own city and state af-
fords, and non where your returns will
be more generous. North Dakota must
grow rapidly in the next few years.
Manufactures will be established;
wholesale and jobbing will increase:
railway and electric lines will be built
The state is destined to be one of the
greatest in the union-this because of
the fertility of its broad level prairies.
We will be depended upon to feed a good
share of the population of this rapidly
growing United States. We will
produce wealth from soil, and money
centers in the land which produces
