and is what the woman-s Christian
Temperance Union and the Woman's

prayed for for years But the work

Cprse Of decay
The alarming state of things
brought " our notice recently where
the young boys were enticed into
houses of ill repute for immoral pur-
poses and their young lives blighted,
has aroused the mothers and they
are more thoughtful, their eyes are
opening to the degradation of the
young people nnd with one voice
are asking What can we do to get
at the root Of this eyil?" The reyel-
atoms which have come to ONE of
the social purity workers are of the
most painful character. Taey find
that the social evr' does not exist

Some Of our good shysician. are
becoming alarmed at the conditions
AMI do not hesitate to say So
Mothers saouid' insist on early
ohedielce in the child which pre-.
pares him or her for the life before
then. If boys and girls are allowed
at the early age of ten to run the
streets until ten or eleven O'clock at
night that child at sixteen will have
the bit between it's teeth and mothers
will find too late that their surrender
of authority in early child life has
produced tendency toward evil in
son or daughter which tears, pleading
and advice on their part will not be
regarded or obeyed. Boys and girls
follow closely in the foot steps of
their parents. A son sees no reason
why when he grows up he should
not enter the saloon or take a glass
of beer, stay out late, smoke a cigar
or cigarette father does"
When father mother ana children
practice in their daily lives unsef-
ishness and purity, there will be no
need of social reform" A. the
parents are the guardians of the|
home, so are our city officials the
guardians of our city. Should notl
II cir lives be pure and noble? Should
not they have the laws enforced that
means purity to our town? Should
we not all be protected when upon
the stress? Should we not have al
better Sabbath? Does no responsible
ity rest upon the city officials for
allowing boys or girls to enter houses
for immoral purposes when the
houses are within a stones throw OIL
our police headquarters?
We must not be too severe on the
women who have these places for
the men who visit them are equally
guilty and once they were as pure
as your daughter or mine. And God
alone knows the inner thoughts of
these outcasts of society. AS christ.
ians are we irresponsible for the
souls OF these women?
So let us have general cleaning
up, make our own lives pure aud
help thee fallen sisters to better
life. Let MS have better city Let
us have the laws enforced Let u
in every way uphold every organiza
ton and every paper in the city that
is fGg the bettcrmont Of the com
munity. And let us croy down all evil

NEW COUNTY ELECTION HITCH
Wording not Clear in Act Authorizing
Dillon Bond Issue.

Columbia, March IL Special:
There is little hitch in the Act
giving Dillon County permission
to hold a special election on the
second Tuesday in April, on the
question of whether or net $40, 900
In bonds shall be issued to build a
Court at one town for the whole
county.
The hitch arises in the Act,
when reference is made to holding
this election at Dillon" This
would be impossible, as such an
election would have TO be held, of
course, throughout the county, in
the various voting precincts. The
intent of the Legislators is clear,
however, because the next refer
ence IS to the county of Dillon. ."
There is such a place as Dillon,
but no election could be held at
one town for the whole county.
On the second Tuesday, also,
will be held the election for county
officers of Dillon, in accordance
with an order issued by Governor
Ansel last week.
The election for the Court House
is for S4O,O00 in 5 per cent bonds.
In having the Act copied to-day
Secretary Bethea noted the "slip-
up. 1t is not thought that the
little change in wording will affect
the situation, because Dillon is
going to have her Court House.

ToIOur Patrons.

The Herald is being published
under difficulties this week. Our
entire plant, with the exception of
one small job press, was destroy
ed by the fire >Sunday night that
swept away over half of one of
Dillon's main BUSINESS blocks
and it will be at least 40 days be-
fore we can re-equip our plant.
Our contemporaries in the Pee
Dee section have kindly volun-
teered their assistance in our hour
of need and have offered us the
use of their Offices in which to
continue the publication Of The
Herald until our new equipment
arrives and the paper will be issued
from the press of our kind-hearted
neighbor, The Latta Observer.
The papers will be printed at Lat
ia and mailed out to our readers
regularly from Dillon as hereto
fore, and we shall do our best %
take care of the advertising inter-
ests of our advertisers. During
the IL years The Herald has been
under the present management it
has missed but one issue and that
was last Christmas when the en-
tire Office Sorce had exhausted it's
physical energies in handling the
extra New County editions and
we felt that the hard-worked
printers were entitled to rest.
The fire of last Sunday night
makes the publication of The Her
aid this week almost an impossi-
bility, but we are bending every
effort to issue a paper on time,
and whil= this issue and other is
sues may not measure up to the
usual standard, st.Il we are doing
the best we possibly can and we
feel sure that our readers will
pardon all shortcomings. 1t is
our purpose to re-equip our office
with the very latest machinery
and the excellence of The Herald
in the future will. we trust, more
than offset the shortcomings of the
paper for the next four weeks.

A. J. Matheson has bought a
plot in Mccall cemetery, in the
eastern part of the city. and it is
said that he intends TO have erect
ed on it a family vault larg,
enough TO hold "a bodies.
The contract for the work has
been let through J. w. McElwee.

marble works. The contract
price is said to be $40, 900.
The granite will &c quarried in
Fairfield county, and the vault
will be finish there, all except
putting the finished blocks togeth-
er after they arrive in Bennetts
vile. This granite will make a
train load of fifteen cars. The
contract for hauling the material
from the cars to the cemetery has
been given to l. M. Haig. A
considerable amount of slate and
brass will also be used.
Parties also have knowledge of
such matters say that this will be
the most costly and handsome
tomb in South Carolina. 1t will
be modelled after one which Mr..
Matheson saw in Rome during his
travels in Europe. 1t is thought
that it will take from six months
to year to complete the vault.

iistt. The origin of the fire is
'hknown. The fire was discover
- about IL O'Clock Sunday night
ssi. at the time Of the discovery
the whole interior of the Westber-
~ store was a mass of flames. The
alarm was quickly given and citi-
zens rushed to the scene but de-
spite the most persistent efforts of
the fre-6ghters the flames contin-
ned to gain headway until several
stores had been reduced ashes.
Those who suffered fire loses
were T. L. Bass. whose loss was
$4,000 with no insurance; Dillon

< with no insurance; the Automobile

new building being erected next to
the Dillon Herald building by
Charlie Saleeby was damaged to
/. the extent of $50.
The flames spread with alam-
ing rapidity and in less than two
hours after the alarm was given
more than half of the block was in
ashes. For a time it seemed that
the entire block would be destroy
ed and the Merchants and Plant
er's Bank. Bell & Jordan's Jewel
ry store and Blum & Goldstein's S
handsome brick store at the corner
of Main street and Railroad ave-
nue. were in imminent danger.
When the flames reached the build
ing in process of construction by
Charlie Saleeby there was nothing
for them to feed upon and they
were checked with some difficulty
Had this building been completed
it would have been impossible to
have checked the flames and the
entire business block would have
been destroyed.
The entire burned district will
be replaced with handsome store
buildings and work will begin on
the construction of the buildings
as soon as the losses are adjusted
with the insurance companies.
This is the first serious fire tba,
has visited Dillon in quite a mum,
Der of years and it is a singula,
coincidence that this fire should
occur on the same day of the month
on which the previous fire occurr.
ed-the 13th-said to be the un.
luckiest day on the calendar.
