The Man Who Wants

THE YARD THAT SAVES AND SATISFIES"
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1919-10-16
PUBLIC OFFICE NO sINECURE

A more or less false idea seems
to prevail as to public office nova
days. There are those who feel that
to hold a public position is a mat
ter of "flowery beds Of ease " With
in recent years the duties and de-
mands of practically all positions OF
public trust have multiplied and so
the public official who measures up
to these demands finds that his is a
strenuous life. 1t is true that few
positions may not require so much
time and labor, but a majority do.
1t is mans job" to properly fill
the average public office. 1t is no
easy matter to hold what are re-
garded as the higher positions, such
as assembly-man, congressman, gov
ernor and president. Many man
has shortened his life no doubt by
entering the arena of politics. If
he is honest and faithful. as a rule
he gets set back as to health and
finance. Verify public office is no
sinecure.

WHAT NEXT!

The above is an appropriate head
line for the discussion of many
things, but just now we have in mind
the recent revelation of blackmail
and intrigue against certain con-
gressmen. If it has come to this pass
that publications containing threats
against public officials are to be al
lowed the privileges of the public
mails and apparently enjoy immunity
is it not pertinent to ask, what next? :?
This is bold stroke for those wno
would anonymously intimidate. It
seems to US that it is about time to
call a halt. To follow such tactics and
to allow such audacious threatening
is no way to handle the race ques-
tion or any other question.

WHOLESOME RECREATION.

1t is generally agreed that some
recreation is needed by all people.
The only question is, how much and
what kind. After a day spent in
reasonably hard labor there is need
for relaxation and diversion. The
amount and kind differs with differ
ent ages and professions. For in
stance one expending physical toll
would not in all respects require the
same diversion as one who expend
ed mental labor. But in some respects
their needs are similar. Whatever the
form of diversion it is ceyain that it
ought to be of the proper kind. We
want to emphasize the provision of
wholesome recreation. Let us see to
it that there is provided for the COM
munity class of entertainment and
recreation which shall be above cri--
ticism and which shall serve to
strengthen in all ways. Let our rec
reation be wholesome and construc-
tive rather than destructive.

the hangings had been completed and

neglected him.
He escaped into the Russian lines
and served with the Y. NJ. C. A.

rescued his daughters and took them

After the war Der Bochos learned
his son, now sixteen years old, had
been brought to America by some
refugees. He found him in Chicago.
And now he wants to go to Constan-

WIFE SOLD TO HAREM.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE cost that a
man must pay to be a Christian in
Turkey was recounted BY Isador der
BochOs when he made application in
the Federal Court here for a passport
to Constantinople, where he hopes to
rescue his wife from a Turkish ha-
rem.
Bochos's story might have been
plucked from the pages of history of
Nero's time. Four years ago, when
Turkey Joined with Germany to crush
the world, wholesale slaughter of
Christian Armenians was ordered by
the Sultan.
With thousands of others, Der
Bochos and his family were seized.
His wife was sold into the harem of
a wealthy Turkish official. Their
three children were scattered.
Der Bochos was sentenced to die.
With 200 Armenians he awaited

DILLON JAILoR COMMENDED.
Official Report Says Jail is Well
Kept and i'm Excellent Condition.

Following is the official report on
the Dillon County Jail, following an
inspection by the State Board of
Charities and Corrections:
Mr.. L. F. Britt, Jailor, visited Sep
tember 16, 1919, by assistant Secre-
tary Broyles. Inmates, white man,
a county prisoner.
There has been m- I improvement
in the condition of IL Dillon . Jail
since last summer. In the winter of
1917 1918 all the pipes in the build
ing froze, and had not been repaired
in May 1918, which caused the score
of the building itself to be low This
year, however, all of this trouble has
been remedied, and all the toilets and
baths were in working order. The
plant of the Dillon jail is first class,
being among the best in the state, and
the active management by the sheriff
and jaiior is also good. We especially
commended the sheriff and jailor for
their attention 10 cleanliness of the
prisoners and their bedding, and for
giving the prisoners three meals
daily. The total score of the Jail has
increased this year from 72S points
to 772 out of a possible 1000.
We recommend that the jailor have
the floors secured and the steel work
,mopped off with rag dipped in oil
every week. Use some means in keep
ing down the dust in sweeping either
by sprinkling or the use of some COM
mercial dust preventive.
We Recommend that the Commits
sioners improve the already excellent
building by having it screened COM
pletely; that the steel work be painted
Immediately to stop the rust which
has begun forming; that heavy cam
vass ticks be purchased to cover the
cotton pads on the hunks, to protect
these pads from dirt and excessive
wear; and finally that a regular
county physician be employed to
make an examination of each newly
admitted prisoner, and to- make reg
ular weekly inspections q the Jail,
especially the Food and quarters of
the prisoners. If the doctor should
find any prisoner suffering with tu-
berculosis they should be sent to the
penitentiary to await trial or to serve
sentence. as the case may be. They
may be kept in the penientiary more
cheaply than they can be kept in Dill
lon, and have the privileges of treat
ment in the penitentiary tuberculosis
hospital.

tions, G. Craft Williams, Secretary.
