Dear Sir
Your letter OF the 7th, file No.
1894, with copy of a petition from
the citizens of Dillon, received.
We think that an Investigation
into the subject will reveal the fact
that the matter Of a union passen-
ger station at Dillon is not at all
feasible, right of way difficulties
being out of all proportion to the
earnings of the station.
Relative to building depot at
Dillon, l beg TO call the attention of
the Commission to House Bill No.
36S recently passed by the general
assembly of South Carolina, and TO
the recital therein to the effect
that the town OF Dillon is obligated
to this company to pay $4,000 as
a contribution 10 aid in the con-
struction of the railway to that
town.
This company has no fund from
which to draw the amount neces-
sary to build n depot at Dillon, ex-
cept the above, and has been ready
since the agreement covering the do
nation was made to commence the
desired improvements so soon as
the amount was available.
The general assl mbly having
passed an Act providing for an
election on the Issue of bonds to be
used in the payment of the $4,000
subscribed, we respectfully request
that the Commission defer action
in this matter until the amount is
paid over, at which time this COM
pany will Immediately proceed with
the erection of a modern depot
building in Dillon.
For further information on this
subject. we respectfully refer the
Commission to the following promi-
nent citizens of Dillon who are ia
miliar with the situation: DR.. ]. H..
David. Messrs VIM. Hamer, w. T..
Bethea and ]. Fl. Gibson.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ]. E. Hancock,
President

EDITORIAL
Our Seventh Birthday.

On the 18th day of February,
A. ID. 1904, in the city of Spring
field, there appeared upon the sun
lit horizon of journalism a four
page folio bearing this honored
title: "The Springfield Forum. .
The word Forum originated from
the early years of higher civiliza-
ton, and perambulates from the
golden age Of Grecian history to
the present day The name will
be readily recognized as the
home of the Olympia games. On
these occasions, poets and writers
read their choicest productions
and world-renowned artists ex-
hibited their masterpieces of gen
Jus, while the honors accorded to
the victors stimulated the contest
ants to the utmost, straining to the
highest tension every power OF

Another striking coincidence is
that the computation of the date
which ushered the Forum out upon
the field of action sustains identi-
fication with that of Our Immortal
Lincoln, and those who endorse
the Pythagorian theory regarding
the transmigration of souls may
heartily assume that the true spirit
of the bravest known American
has transcribed the great lapse
of Time to become ingrafted into
the life of the Springfield Forum.
Last, but not least, Feb. IL, the

VIM. Ryan for Commissioner.

Mr.. VIM. Ryan, Alderman from
the LIST Ward, is candidate for
Commissioner and is highly recon-
mended by the colored people
from that and other wards. Mr..
Ryan was born and reared in the
LIST, and the people there think
a great deal of him.
He was elected Alderman last
spring by a large popular vote.
Mr.. Ryan s position as secretary
at the Capital Coal Co. is evil
dence sufficient of his competency.
He stands out squarely for the
right thing for every man, re-
CARELESS of color, and has proven
that he believes in this doctrine
by doing it. No man ON the ticket
is better thought of by the col
ored people of the LIST than BILLY
Ryan," whole-souled, big heart
ed, clever gentleman; therefore,
we pen these few lines, calling
your attention to the fact that he
is candidate for Commissioner,
and that his announcements ap-
pear in the Forum.
