DILLON BEST LOCATION FOR CLEMSON'S
new STATION
ONS TWO VICIOUS BULLDOGS FIGHT TO A
FINISH
BOARD OF TRADE INTERESTED
Clemson is Invited to Send Com
mittPe TO Dillon and Select Site
For the New Station.

The farmers of Dillon county and
the public generally are Very much
interested in ClemSon's proposition
10 establish an experiment station
| In the Pee Dee country. The mat
ter is being pretty generally aEitat-
ed and the people of the county
are willing TO make liberal con-
cessions to land the station. The
matter was discussed at n meeting
of the Dillon Board of Trade We'd
hesday afternoon and resolution
was passed inviting Clemson TO
! send committee TO Dillon and
select site for the station from
such lands as are best suited for
experimental purposes. IL was an
nounced at the meeting that DR..
Wade Stackhousc would head a
subscription list with contribu-
ton Of 5000 10 purchase 4 site for
the station. DR.. !. II. David an
nounced that he would deed Glenn
son % acres of land adjoining his
plantation two miles from Dillon.
While the Clemson authorities
have not definitely stated tho terms
upon which they will locate the
station, yet it is understood they
will ask for SO acres of land. OF
course the land will have to be
decided to the College for expert
mental purposes. AS the authorities
no doubt will want variable soil
II was thought best TO invite the
Board of Trustees to send n COM
mlttee to Dillon and select the land
they want. There are other coun-
ties pulling for the station and il
Will require some effort on the
part of the Dillon county farmers
to land it. The following letter
has been addressed TO the Clemson
authorities:
AT meeting OF tie directors OF
the Dillon Board of Trade held on
the 10th instant, q resolution was
passed unanimously endorsing the
proposition TO establish an expert
ment station in the Pee Dee sec
non. and extending to Clemson an
invitation to send committee to
Dillon for the purpose Of selecting
from Dillon county lands such
lands as in their judgement are best
suited for experimental purposes.
Our citizens are very anxious to Sc
cure the station and will offer such
inducements as are consistent with
sound judgment to obtain 1t. We
nave in Dillon county the best corn
and cotton lands in the State and
A0'S IL VIII Oe greatly TO the
advantage of Clemson to consider
the many advantages offered by our
county before coming to a final
decision rs to the location Of the
station"
Nothing can be done until Glenn
son notifies the Board of Trade of
its purpose to locate the station
and what inducements will have to
De offered TO get il. Dillon county
VIII offer as many inducements as
any other county and If the citizens
VIII make the proper effort there is
every reason to believe that we can
bring the station to this county.

SELLERS PEOPLE SHOCKED
n Bull Dog Fight il Pulled off Near
Sellers. Whiskey Flows Freely
and High Wages are Made.

Sellers, March 1S.-Special: This
whole community is indignant on &C
count of Il bulldog fight that was
pulled off about a mile below this
place, in Dillon county yesterday
Early in the morning the peaceful
citizens of the place were surprised
to see so many automobiles, buggies
and bicycles passing by and going
at break-neck speed to the place OF
rendezvous, at a negro's shop. And
they were soon joined Gy the sport
ing element here. Tho place select
ed was in the woods. The ground
was cleared Of leaves and straw: a
circle was formed, stakeholder
was selected, the money placed in
his hands, and while the bets were
being made and the money put up
a big negro, was passing around
through the crowd dealing out liqu-
or by the cupful TO all who would
partake, while everybody was urged
10 put up or shut up" When the
crowd was sufficiently fired up and
no more bets were forthcoming, the
dogs were turned loose and for one
hour and half they gnawed and
bit each other, while the crowd
urged them Don with such express
ions as sic him. kuaw him." "eat
hlm up' break his legs" "chokc
the life out OF him" At the end of
the fight the poor dogs were utter
ly exhausted, both lying down with
their backs to each other and one of
the dogs soon died, while the other
was horribly torn and lacerated,
and it would he a mercy to him TO
end his miserable life with 4 load
of buckshot. The dead dog was
placed in an automobile, and as its
owners were returning, the dead
body was dumped out within the in
corporate limits Of this town. Such
cruelty and lack OF decency ought
not to be tolerated. in any decent
community, and 1t is determined
that If there is any law to protect
the decent men, women and chill
dren from such barbarism and brp.
tai exhibitions It shalll be invoked.
Should not the grand jury Of Dillon
county take this matter in hand,
aided by the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals? The
owners of these dogs are well
known. The dead dog is owned at
marion and has been a familiar OBJ
lect around a butcher shop there
Tor several years; the other is
owned in Florence, hut is kept in

by the Legislature, was Intended

WHALER'S CARGO RICH.
Viola, on Maiden Voyage, Gets Ann
bergris Treasure Worth 80. 900.

hloia, on MAIDEN voyage, tttS AM
bergris Treasure Worth 80 900.
The old saying, "A bad begin
ming makes a good ending" would
seem TO have verification in the
present voyage OF the Provincetown
whaling brigantine Viola, Capt.
John A. Cook which has arrived at
st. Helena with 100 barrels OF
sperm oil and 5S pounds of amber
girls for the voyage.
Leaving New Bedford for her
maiden cruise-the Viola Was built
for the sperm whale fishery last
year-the brig turned up at Fayal,
Azores, September 3, with 27O bar
rels of sperm oil TO show for her
summer catch, a rather poor begin
ming il YVES considered.
AT Fayal practically all the for
ward hands deserted and several OF
the after guards" were discharged
leaving the craft short handed she
sailed September % for Cape dc
Verde Islands to procure new men,
was struck by "A squall three days
out of port, and lost fore and main
topmasts and proceeded 1.1OO miles
under short sail, arriving at Cape
de Verde October 8, where she was
detained until late in the month re-
pairing damages.
After leaving the islands she
went TO the whaling field off Great
and Little Fish bays. west coast OF
Africe, as her recent arrival at st.
h ncna indicates. News from the
Viola was not expected until May.
and then it was thought the craft
would make a port at Barbados.
The Viola's voyage since leaving
Cape Verde Islands has been re-
m"rEably successful The oil
catch alone since leaving her last
port of call assures profits far ex-
cacding the average. lnegth OF the
cruise considered while the sale of
the immensely valuable ambergris
should tend TO swell the gross
profits to n figure calculated to
Surpass the best previous single
season sperm whale voyage of the
last twenty years.
Allowing $500 pound, the price
received by the William A. Grozier
Company for their find of ten
pounds, the Viola's lot of amber
girls would bring $4,000. Even at
present prices ii should bring at
least $11,600.
