-Four Trains Collide.

Fairfield, Conn.-Five persons are
dead and several others are serious
ly injured as the result of collision
of four freight trains at midnight on
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad. 1t is believed one Of
the two eastbound freights stopped
on account of hot box and that an
extra following close behind crashed
into it. In statement given out by
the company the accident is attrib-
uted to the failure of an engineer,
probably one of those killed, to OBJ
serve a signal.

We are accused Of being the most
wildly speculative nation In the world
But in the year London has run wild
over the rubber craze. then went
through boom in oil shares. and has
finally turned to a bull gamble in
British railroads. The United States
has. on the other hand. practically
stopped speculation, perhaps for the
sufficient reason that the lambs had
no more fleece to shear.

What clever prankishness was that
Of the boys Of West Lafayette college,
Ohio. who put oil in the milk for the
girls dormltory, causing twenty Of
the co-eds to become so Ill as to re-
luire the attendance OF physicians!
They were nearly as daring as the
young men OF the Pacific coast insti-
tuition OF learning who raided the
girls dormitories and frightened
some of the occupants into Mysteries
by pulling them out Of bed. The
twentieth century young man does
many things that would hardly have
occurred in any earlier age. Is It be
cause Of the disappearance OF the
birch as an aid to education?

citizens Asked to Meet and Discuss
Plans for Erecting New School
iSuilding.

tardG have been issued asking
tic citizens OF Dillon and patrons
.. tho Dillon High School to meet
~ tic auditorium tomorrow tFri-
"lyJ evening TO discuss plans for Il
re. school building. To those IA
liar with the old building it has
"ttn apparent for some years that
dillon was badly in need OF Il new
school building. At the time il was
erected the present building was a
r,dit 10 the town and monumnrt
- tho pluck and perseverance Of the
.iien who built it, but like many
other buildings that ten years ago
"cro n credit tC the town il has
seen its best days as 4 building for
the institution OF the children Of
j.'r community. To continue to
Make improvements on the present
L.didlnG will be waste OF money
and labor. The repairs each year
total 10 more than would bn nee.
ossary TO ay interest on Il sum
large enough TO erect modern
school building. Years ago the
trustees saw the need OF new.
building. The next board saw the
need of it and then their success
ors felt II more kconly. The pres
ent board is keenly alive to the
need of new building, and it
would not be the part of wisdom
to longer delay matter OF such
vast Importance to ever interest of
Inc town and community.
The Herald is strongly in favor
or erecting u building that will cost
not less than $4,000. At the pres
ent time this appears to be quite
IL large sum TO spend for the erec-
ton OF a school building. but we
nave unboundcd faith in the future
development OF Dillon and it but
question OF few years when
even a $4,000 building will b.
inadequate to the educational needs
Of the community.
1t is earnestly hoped that large
crowd will gather at the school
auditorium Friday night. The
erection Of a modern school build
ing Is OF decidedly more importance.
than the building OF a court housr
