La araha caza-pajaros, hay quien
olga que ha atacado hasta pajaros
de tamaho mayor, tales como pin
zones y pitirojos; pero segdn los me-
jores estudiantes de la naturaleza
esos informes son exagerados. Ell he.

que no Sc vale de tclas para realizar
sus cacerias. Como valeroso insecto
que es, sale campo raso y confian-
do en- la fuerza de sus velludas patas,

Las especies sudamericanas al

de modo que es facil imaginarse
cuan dificil Sc hace la vida en-
aQuellas regiones las especies mas

aguijones de la ortiga estan construi-
dos precisamente sobre los principles
de Ia aguja que los medicos emplean
para hacer inyecciones hipod6rmi-
cas-. Cada aguij6n Sc compone de
una zelda larga y de mayor a menor,
cargada de un veneno esenclalmente
irritante, tai como acido f6rmico.
La parte superior del aguijdn es

contacto con cualquier objeto que

The Herald is not advising the
Atlantic Coast Line how to run its
railroad. but it does appear to us
if the railroad people would run
their trains little further apart
the public would get much better
service out of the many excellent
passenger trains the Coast Line is
now operating. The service is all
that could be desired so far as the
number of trains is concerned but
the trains are tco badly punched
to meet fully the requirements for
which they were intended. On the
present schedules three trains leave
Florence every night for the north
within 20 minutes of each other,
and in the morning three trains
arrive in Florence from the north
within hour of each other. The
Coast Line greatest need is mid
day train, north and south, arriv-
ing Florence about l p. m. 1t
does seem to us that one of the
three trains going north and south
every night and morning could be
used as midday train and if the
Coast Line will make this change
its passenger service will be per-
feet.

a permanent position paying less
than IS 90 per day to accept a CO.
day job even at S. per diem. When
the last census was taken ten years
ago IS per day was considered a
pretty good price. for performing
the very arduous duties of enum-
orator, but since that time the Re-
publican party has advanced the
price of foodstuffs and the other
necessaries of life to such an alarm
ing degree that IS per day does
not leave enough to start bank
account after the household ex-
penses have been paid. Persons
with fairly good common school
education are worth more than IS
per day. under the exactions of the
high protective tariff, and while
there may be some few who earn
less, still in our judgment the ma
jority is an the other side. The
COVE m en- t can find
plenty of men who will take a CO.
day job for less than S. per day,
but the men really worth having
are filling permanent jobs at a
higher figure per diem than the
government offers. In order to
be consistent the government
should advance the wages of its
employees along with the price of
those articles named in its tariff
schedules, which are so necessary
to the existence of man. We do
not blame persons with a fairly
good common school, education"
for declining the governments Of
fer of S. per day for the perform
ance of work that is worth double
the price.

that point where she now is
headquarters for live stock, ferti-

The Status of Dillon County.

lhe Status OF Dillon County.
The new county situation is
about as hopeful as could be de-
sired.
Today, Tuesday, the bill to
create the County of Dillon was in
troduced in both houses of the
{, general assembly and the measure
+. has every promise of plain sailing
through the 1aw-making body of
of the land.
There may be some opposition
to the passage of the measure by
the opponents of Dillon county,
but the opposition is not likely to
amount to anything, as, 50 far as
we can see, our Marion friends
have no fighting ground to stand
upon. ~
he New County has complied
with every legal requirement and
where it is shown that the
conditions have been met the crea-
tion of the New County is not
optional with. but mandatory upon,
. the general assembly.
Of course, there are in the gene
kal assembly representatives who
pseyee opposed to smaller counties
mott while their sympathies may
81 with those opposed to the di.
pssion of Marion, yet their oath OF
\ Office compells them to vote for the
establishment of the new county,
:. when it is shown that all the pro-
visions of the law governing the
formation of new counties have
been complied with.
AS soon as the bill becomes a
law and is signed by the governor
the commissioners will be appoint
ed and the work of organizing the
county machinery will start. I'm
til tho public buildings are erected
the commissioners will have to
provide temporary.q quarters for the
transaction of county's business.
The general election, at which
time Dillon county's first officers
will be elected, will be held April
and, and the county machinery
wlspuld be in motion early in the
fightmer
t course, the bill may meet
,.,lalelays in going through the
,Joc; l assembly. but those delays
mile tie, M be taken as an indication
Pee latee measure will not become
Rive IA There is lots of red tape
conGIu 1t; Aa.ion and if the bill does
inc c,iip through as easily as you
proy.k it should don't get alarmed.
Thewill come out all right in the
perd.

veady to proceed"

Now is the time for capitalists OF
this town and surrounding country
to come together and devise ways
to make Dillon great manufact-
uring town. They have the means
to do wonderful things. The field
is wide and many enterprises could
be established that would enrich
the promoters and build up the
vacant lots that are an eyesore to
any town. Farm implements,
furniture, plant for making and
repairing everything made of iron
and wood-all this and more would
keep The enormous amount of mon
ey expended elsewhere at
home. Who will lead in an effort to
manufacture our needs right here
in Dillon?
There is an object lesson to b
seen daily at The Herald Book
Store. To the white population
'tis a lesson that should profit them
to the extent of seeing to it that
their children should be at school.
Conditions in life do not abate the
zeal of the colored race. None are
so poor but that they can find the
wherewith to purchase books for
their children, and as a rule they
are like clock work, to and from
school, loanng on the street during
school hours is rarely seen. But
on the other side how different,
and it does seem as if some pa
rents fail to see or look for a fu-
ture of usefulness and good citi-
zenship for their posterity.
Our Latta friends cannot Sc.
riouslv object to cultivating clos.
er acquaintance with her sister
towns, especially with this town.
Just now money is easy with far.
mers and merchants and the banks
have their strong boxes near unto
bursting. 'Tis the propitious time
to figure how to make things hum
for the year 1910. One feasable
scheme that would be a lasting
blessing to Latta and Dillon would
be to connect them with an elec.
trio railway. The people along
the line are too patriotic to charge
for the right of way and the power
plant could be established midway
