An Ounce of Prevention.

. While we do not believe in
persecution or spite work "ito~-
ard corporations, yet we do think
they should be made to respect
human life by taking every rea-
sonable precaution against acci-
dents. The town of Kingstree
has always shown an extremely
liberal policy toward the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad and we be-
ieve that this spirit has been
appreciated by the railroad.com-
pany. There is one privilege,
however, that the company has
abused and the town council
should call their attention to 1t
in no uncertain way. We refer
to the speed with which the
through trains'' rush through our
town
Of course, we realize that it is
unnecessary for these fast trains
to crawl through the town at
five or six miles an hour. That
would cause much inconvenience
to the railroad and sconduce but
little to the safety Of the town
people. On the other: hand,
there is no reasonable excuse for
a so-called flyer" to speed
through the town at fifty to
sixty mile rate. These trains
have to cross the main thorough
fare of our town and it is al
most a wonder that some one
has not been, killed long before
now. We have heard of several
hair-breadth escapes and unless
the speed of these trains is
checked, it would not surprise
us any day to see a fearful fac
cident take place. Then, OF
course, there would be iron-clad
speed regulations, but: it would
be too late to save the lives of
the victims.
An ounce Of, preventionsl! is
worth pounds of cure, ] so sswhy
not take the matter in shand Eat
once and stop this reckless
speeding? Automobiles .and 9TH
er vehicles are limited lin their
rate of speed along public streets,
so it is but right and just that
tbe fast trains should be SINH
larly restricted.
we realize that it is;Ia matter
of impossibility to safeguard lab
solutely against accidents on the
railroad, or anywhere else, for
that matter; but a blind trust
in Providence, while almost in

The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1912-11-28

What a farce it is to submit
a Joint resolution for a bond is
sue to the people was strikingly
illustrated by the number OF
votes cast on the proposed mil,
lion dollar bond issue for re,
lieving the icongested condition al
the State Hospital for the Insane, u
which was voted on in the re-
cent general election. In this
election there were less than four
thousand votes cast as compared
with forty eight thousand for
Presidential electors and about
one hundred and forty-two thous-
and in the primary election
Surely there could be devised a
better method of sounding public
sentiment than putting a State
wide measure before the people
in a general election.

viting disaster by supine negli-

policy as the Turks trying to

charms and incantations.

Urge. Increase for Teachers.

Washington.-The United States bu-
reau of education is about to issue a
pamphlet in which an urgent plea is
made for an increase in the salaries now
being paid instructors in public institu-
tions of learning. The report deals with
the years 19O0-191O inclusive, and calls
attention to the fact that although the
salaries of male instructors were in
creased 3S per cent in that time and the
salaries of female teachers 81 per cent.
the average wage is about $500 per year,
or less than $40 a week. The commits
sioner of education maintains that it is
impossible to procure competent teach
ers at such menial wages. In most of
the states less than 10 per cent of the
teachers have had the advantage of uni
versity training.

Good Reo.on for III. Action.

In Germany during a war captain
of cavalry was ordered out upon for
aging expedition. He marched to the
district assigned to him. 1t was a
lonely valley. but finding in the midst
of it small cottage, he knocked at
the door. 1t was opened by an old
man, who leaned upon staff. "Fa-
ther," said the officer, "show me field
where may set my troop to forage"
The old man led them out of the valley
and after quarter of an hours march
they came to fine field of barley.
Here is what we are in search Of"
exclaimed the captain. "Wait a few
minutes" said the old man. Follow
me little further" At the distance
of mile they arrived at another field
of barley. The troop alighted. cut
down the grain, trussed it and rode of.
The officer then said to his conductor:
you have given yourself and US need
less trouble; the first field was better
than this" "Very true, sir" replied
the good old man, "but it was not

Sun and Fire Symbols.

There are to be found occasionally
upon the walls of old brick houses, al
about the line Of division between the
first and second stories, fiat pieces ol
iron five or six inches in length and
shaped somewhat like the letter "S.''
The use Of these articles was clearly
brought from England, where it is still
continued, and there is curious
origin and meaning attached to them,
The figure in question is an early
symbol Of the sun. 1t is still used in
Herefordshire and other parts of Eng,
land. There one is informed that the
reason for the particular form Of these
irons is that they were made thus in
order to protect the house from fire
as we'll as from collapse.
