ed. ThereIwas time in Dillon's early
history when at the risk OF his own
life he saved brave officers life
and the honor of the town. The cir
cumstances which cannot, for obvious
reasons. be told in these columns are
lstill fresh in the minds of many of
the older inhabitants. At ripe old
age he has crossed over to that shore
where many OF his white friends he
served SO faithfully in the days gone

SKIN was black but he lived his life
as best he could. Although an hum

Bill Smith is dead. This an
ton outside Of Dillon county;
but there are hundreds of men
in the county who will pause
and reflect as their eyes fall upon
these words. Bill was unique char
acter. He was probably one of the best
known colored men in the county.
Every man who ever lived in Dillon
and every farmer who ever sold a
bale of cotton on the Dillon market
knew Bill. No one ever called him
Smith" i, was Bill-just plain
Bill. Bills life was so closely woven
into the history of the town that he
was a part of Dillon. He was one of
its landmarks and Dillon will never
be quite the Same now that Bill is
gene. Bill had lived and labored with
white men all his life and he knew
the white mans ways like school
boy knows his A. b. C's. He loved to
listen to his white friends as they
discussed the various problems of the
day, and for hours he has sat at a
respectful distance as groups of men
argued politics, religion or other
matters, taking in every word that
was Sdlu WITHOUT SO l1lucn as DreSUnl-

interested listener. And then again he
Knew when to say the right word at
the right moment, and when he knew
that what was being said was not
meant for him to near he would fade
away like the mist before the morn

the ambition of his life was to make
his white friends believe in him. II
