Habit is hard to overcome, but 1t
can be done with practice and per-
s~istance. Instead Of telling strangers
what a poor town and ornery neigh
bors you have, try dilating for a time
on the many fine points of both and
then notice how soon this will be a
swell old world to live in. Begin to-

THE AEROPLANE ASSEMBLED.
Wonderful Machine Has Been Erect
ed and Awaits the Arrival Of the
Engine

wonderful Machine Has Been Erect
ed and Awaits the Arrival Of the
Engine.
South Carolina's first aeroplane
is on exhibition at the Dillon
Wholesale Grocery, where it is
viewed daily by many persons inter
ested in the science of aviation. 1t
is perfect model of the Curtiss
biplane and its pretty lines give
every assurance of strength and
stability. The Curtiss biplane is
an improvement on the original
Wright biplane in that it runs on
stauncHly constructed wheels in
stead of gliders and can arise from
the ground at any point without
the aid of a platform or rails. I'm
like the Curtiss machine used by
McCurday when he made his flights
at Dillon, the Dillon machine is
built of wood instead of canes and
appears to be much stronger The
steering wheel responds readily to
every movement OF the arms and
the connections are so sensitive that
either of the planes or the rudder
can be operated by child.
The machine was assembled by
Mr.. Fred Rowe. assisted by Mr..
Murchison. No difficulty was eX-
perienced in getting the parts to-
gether and Mr.. Rowe is confident
that he will be able to make success
full flights from the very beginning.
The engine was shipped out from
Detroit Wednesday and should
reach Dillon by Friday or Satur-
day. No time will be lost in plac-
ing the engine in the machine and
If the weather is favorable the ini-
tial flights will be made Saturday
or Monday. AS the race track Of
fers better opportunities for arais-
ing and alighting than any other
spot near town il is likely that the
first flights will be made out there
MIR. Rowe has never flown ma
chine, but he feels confident that
he will be able to manage the great
white bird and dc IS not appear to
entertain any fears as to the haZ-
ardous undertaking. His first flight
will be made near the ground, but
as soon as he learns the art OF CON
trolling the lifting planes and the
rudder he says it is his intention
to make altitude flights. The
higher one goes the less danger
there is of an accident. If the en-
gine should stop while the machine
is at high altitude the planes can
be tilted to catch the air currents
and the aviator can glide to the
ground, but if the machine should
be near the ground and it should
be necessary to alight the machine
would come down with considerable
violence, and Mr.. Rowe says he
wants to avoid this danger by soar
ing up into the clouds The exper-
!ments will be watched with inter
est by many Dillon people

Bitten by Mad Dog.

The nine-year-old daughter of
Mr.. B. +. Edwards, of Gaddy's Mill.
was bitten Saturday morning by a
dog supposed to be affected with
rabies. The little child was on the
front piazza when the dog came in
to the yard, ran straight toward her
and bit her severely on the hand.
The dog acted like it was affected
with rabies and its head will be
sent to the Pastuer Institute at Co
lumbia for examination. If it is
shown that the dog was affected
with rabies Mr.. Edwards will take
his daughter to Columbia where
she will be given the Pastuer treat
ment.

NO SUNDAY MAILS.
a Writer Thinks the POstoffice
Should BE Closed on Sunday.

"A LINKS tne
Should BE Closed on Sunday.
Editor Dillon Herald:
Please allow me to say through
the columns of your paper that the
writer was pleased to hear DR.
Black when he spoke Of or about
closing the postoffice on Sunday.
The pastor Of the Baptist church
here, Rev. II. A. Willis, preached to
his congregation on the last Sunday
III April Very timely sermon on
keeping the Sabbath day, after
which petition for closing the
poStoffice was numerously signed
and the writer has learned that the
pastors of the other churches have
also taken the matter up. Now the
writer has himself frequently gone
TO the office on Sunday and pleads
guilty OF breaking the Sabbath but
IS willing to make amends therefor
as far as possible and wishes 10 say
that he is very anxious that the Of
flee be closed. The mail hour on
Sunday morning draws quite a
crowd to the Rostoffice who do not
attend service at any church and
who might do SO if the office was
closed, and who cannot, nor will not
be reached by the preaching of the
gospel unless they attend the SER
vices. The writer has himself han
died several hundred thousand
pieces of mail and has some idea of
the need of rest on sunday, for
Postmaster Husbands and his as
sistants, in their arduous duties.
They are required TO make a count
Of all mail of every kind. and the
length OF time in minutes necessary
to handle this mail, and their count
