Death of Mrs. ID. j. Afford.

Great was the gloom cast over
our nelghborhood Thursday night
when the news was spread that Mrs.
ID. j. Afford was dead
Although being in declining
health for more than year the
end came almost as a thunder bolt
from a clear sky. Since her re-
turn from the hospital, about three
months ago she was SO bright and
cneerfui, even able to make short
visits in the neighborhood, we
hoped that she would be spared sew
eral years yet,but God wiled it not
so. and Thursday night, though not
as well as common, she was talking
with her loved ones around her
bed about eight o'clock, slept for
lew minutes, awoke and in a short
while apparently fell asleep again
and then passed into the great be-
yond. Although the summons came
so quickly we are assured that it
came not to one unprepared. Be-
ing intimate with her | have heard
her speak repeatedly of death not
with fear but at times almost long
insly, since the death of a below
ed son, little more than a year
ago. She had not a shadow of
doubt that her calling and election
were sure.
She was a woman of strong per-
sonal character, one of Gods no.
Bile women, nobly planned. Since
being an invalid she was a greater
power for good than many in full
possession of their faculties. Where
ever there was need within her
reach she was there in spirit if
not in person. Many there are
that will bless her memory for
words and deeds.
She leaves to mourn their loss a
husband and eight children. Mr..
Sion Afford, of Rowland: Mrs Gus
Afford, of Dillon; Mrs. Laurin Nc
lnnis, of Carolina; Messrs. Knox
and Grady and Misses Emily, Jes-
sic and Lizzie, at home; three
grand children, several brothers
and sisters. Every comfort that
loving hearts could dictate or ten
der hands could bestow was hers
l have heard her say many times
that she had not a wish only for
the company of her friends. All
enjoyed the brightness of her pres
ence. The loss is ours not hers;
mortal has only put on Immortality
No clouds those regions know;
Realms ever bright and fair,
For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there

TEDDY PLAYS SILENT PART
EN-President to be Silent Through
. out Compaign.

Richmond, Oct. Is. The part
which Col. Theo. Roosevelt, former
president, will take in the coming
national campaign will be one of
silence, 1t became publicly known
to-day through a letter which he
wrote to Congressman j. Hampton
Moore, of Pennsylvania, president
of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association, declining the honor of
addressing the association at its,
convention here. Col. Roosevelt
emphatically declared:
From now on / wish to avoid
making any speeches ] possibly can
avoid"
Concluding his letter Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
II cannot undertake anything
further of any kind or sort now"
These portions of the colonel's
letter were taken by the waterways S
delegates to mean that he wished
to refrain from giving utterance
to any opinions which possibly
might be misconstrued in connec-
tion with the presidential cam
paign. No other meaning could
be deducted from his refusal TO be
a speaker at the waterways con-
vention. 1t is apparent from the
colOnefs letter that he intends to
remain silent through the entire
campaign, which already has begun
with President Taft's swing around
the circle through the West.
The letter to President Moore
begins with Col. Roosevelt saying:
Il wish it were possible for my
/ friends to realize my position. not
for my own sake, but because then
! they would understand just why il
/ is that | cannot accept all the in.
vitations which come to me-"
He greaCly appreciated the invi
| tatlOn, and was very sorry nc
could not attend.

The Editors Task.

Almost anyone can be an editor.
All the editor has to do is TO sit at
a desk six days in the week. four
weeks in a month, and twelve
months in year and edit" such
stuff as this:
Mrs. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let
a can opener slip last week and cut
herself in the pantry.
A mischievous lad, of Piketown,
threw stone and cut Mr.. Pike in
the alley last Tuesday.
Joe Doe climbed on the roof of
his house last week looking for a
leak and fell striking himself on
the back porch.
While Harold Green was escort
ing Miss Violet Wise from the
church social last Saturday night a
savage dog attacked them and bit
Mr.. Green on the public square.
Isaiah Trimmer, of Runnin e
Creek was playing with cat Fri
day when it scratched him on the
veranda.
Mr.. Frong, while harnessing a
bronco last Saturday, was kicked
just south of his crib.

The Herald regrets to announce
that DR.. and Mrs. l.. r. Craig have
decided to locate in Charleston,
where DR.. Craig will be associated
with the well known Charleston
surgeon, DR.. Baker, in the manage
ment of a new and modern sani-
tarium which will be known as the
Baker-Craig Sanitarium. DR.. Craig
accompanied DR.. Baker to Nor
folk last week where plans were
perfected for the erection of the
sanitarium. 1t is to be a strictly
modern building and will be one of
the completest hospitals in the
State. DR.. Craig will continue the
practice of medicine at Dillon, how
ever, until next spring, as it will
take several months to complete the
hospital. Dillon will regret very
much to lose such excellent citizens
as DR.. and Mrs. Craig, who will
carry with them to their new home
the best wishes of legions of
friends.

ATTEMPTED AN ASSAULT
White Man in Serious Trouble Mt
Rocky Mount, N. G.

Rocky Mount, N. c., Oct. 16.-
only the fact that her screams were
neard by a passerby prevented a
criminal assault on Ethel Rice. the
1l-year-old daughter of w. d. Rice,
of South Rocky Mount. while the
girl was returning from school
this afternoon.
A man named Jones is in the
city jail. Excitement in the neigh
oorhood of the Rice home was in
tense but the police succeeded in
getting the man locked up after
the girl had identified him. The
enid was passing clump of
oushes near the woods when the
man walked out toward her. She
says that he spoke to her and then
took hold of her and attempted to
remove part of her clothing. She
.screameda nd the sound of her cries
reached OFFICER S. d. Taylor, and d
companion who were driving near
Ine scene of the attempted crime.
Ihey called out to the girl and the
man rushed into the woods before
the officers reached the scene, how
ever. The child had reached her
nome nearby and rushed screaming
to her mother. The officers chas-
ed the man into the woods with a
crowd of railroad men who came
upon the scene with them. They
caught Jones and brought him be-
fore the child
That's the man, that's the man,
the girl cried hiding behind her
mothers skirts.
Despite the mutterings of the
crowd OFFICER Taylor placed Jones
In the carriage and hurried him
to the Rocky Mount Jail. He IS
married and has one child.
Jones denies that he is the man.
In an interview at the jail tonight
ne said that he was coming home
from his work and that he had not
seen the girl until the officer took
him before her. Officer Taylor de-
clares that Jones turned white and
appeared greatly frightened when
he arrested him. He did not ap-
pear to have been drunk. Efforts
were made to get Jones out on
bond tonight through his attorney
t. T. Thorne. Up to a late hour
they had failed.
Jones will be given a speedy trial
in the morning. Feeling is rather
high in South Rocky Mount. but
there is little likelihood of any
violence.

Sewerage Bonds Sold.

The $4,000 worth of sewerage
and water bonds were sold
Tuesday to a Chicago brokerage
firm at par. In view of the strin-
gency of the money market this is
considered an exceptionally good
sale. The work of installing the
sewerage and water system will be-
gin without delay. The water sup
ply will be taken from Little Pee
Dee river and pumped up into the
town Reservoir. The sewerage will
be run into the river at some point
below the town. The entire system
should be installed wit IN six
months and Dillon will not be
without water and sewerage much
longer. The next step forward will
be the paving of the business sec
tion with bithulithic or vitrified
brick, and whine this is completed
Dillon will be one of the most mod
ern little cities in the South.

One of the busiest places In the
whole college during the school
year is the Library. 1t is here that
the students do most of the prep
aration for their daily recitations.
For there is hardly a lesson given
that does not require some parallel
reading in the library.
The students are given a course
of reference work during their
first term in college. The aim OF
the course is to make them famil-
lar with the library and to train
them in systematic and Intelligent
use of books. A study is made
during the term of classification,
the catalogue, general indexes, and
some of the standard books of ref
erence.
This library is catalogued up-to-
date by author, title, and subject.
Before the end of the first six
months Of school, through the use
of the catalogue, practically every
girl in school is able to find any
book in the library which she may
wish
The library now contains 49,
544 well chosen volumes. The colo
lection of old and out of
print South Carolina books is said
to be one of the finest in the
State.
We are subscribing TO fifty-sev-
en- periodicals. Special effort is
being made to get a complete set
of the magazines subscribed for
Among the most valuable recent ad-
ditions to our magazine files are
the following: Littel's Living Age,
in two hundred and sixty-seven
volumes beginning 20 in 1902, and
Niles Weekly Register in seventy
five volumes from 1911 to 1849.

is an index to each article in

DELIGHTED HIS AUDIENCE.
"F'rederik the Great" Gives Excel
cellent Entertainment at Audi
tOrium

For more than two hours at the
Auditorium Tuesday night Fred
erik the Great" puzzled and de-
lighted Dillon audience with
many feats of straightforward. 1t
was conceded to be the best sleight-
of-hand performance ever given in
Dillon and one of the best enter
tainments the Dillon folk have ev-
er seen at the local play house.
'FTederik" is wonder in the
sleight of hand world. In many of
his feats he equals the great Her
man and in point of deXterity sur
passes many of the we'll known
performers in the larger cities. He
pulled live rabbits from the pock
cts of men in the audience, wrung
off pigeons necks and replaced
them in such manner as to
completely BATTLE the spectators,
and performed many other tricks
that so completely puzzled his au-
dience that many who watched him
wondered if he were really hu
man. The management at the Au-
ditorium is to be congratulated up
on having provided their patrons
with such a high-class performance.
AS an entertainer "Frederik" has
few equals and no superiors.
