the typographical errors in The
Herald these days. The Herald is
being set up on Il linotype and it

printed on its own presses. In Il
few more weeks The Herald plan,
Will be complete and it is our pur-

The children Of the Dillon and
Latta Methodist Sunday schools en-
joyed a most delightful outing last
Thursday on their excursion to
Wrightsville Beach The excursion
left Dillon at q O'Clock Il. III. and af-
ter spending a most delightful time
at the seashOre the iculsionists re-
turned home that mist at IL O'clocl
n little bit tired but thoroughly de-
lighted with the pleasures of the
day. Quite a large crowd went from
Dillon and another large crowd was
taken on at Latta. 1t was great
occasion for the children and they
will look forward to the next eX-
cursion with pleasant anticlpations.
1t is learned from the Latta OBJ
server that Mr.. Jno. l.. Dew, Il pro-
gressive citizen of that town. has
invented an air ship. The Obser-
yer gives quite a lengthy descrip-
tion of the air ship and is of the
opinion that il will rival the aero
plane or the monoplane in mechan-
ical skill. Mr.. Dew says his craft
will carry II passengers at a speed
of IL miles an hour or that it can
be geared to attain speed of 40
or so miles an hour. Mr. Dew has
been working for some time on his
machine and will have it patented
just as soon as IL is completed. 1t
may he remarked in passing that
in addition to being Il rirst-class
business man and alround good cit
izen Mr.. Dew is also a mechanical
genius and those who know him
believe that his me- chine will do all
is for it,.
