Perfect PaCkage Month.

Mr.. w. II. Wood. agent at the Sea-
board, tells The Herald tha; nation
wide perfect package" movement
will be inaugurated by the railroads
during the month of November and he
wants all Dillon shippers to help the
offices to makes perfect score dur
ing the month. Heretofore the rail
roads have suffered enormous losses
from improperly prepared packages.
III package is not bound in sub
stantial manner il breaks open, the
contents are lost or damaged and the
railroads lose. This adds to the over
head expense and the loss ultimately
comes out of the pockets of the pub
lie. The railroads are devising means
to lower the cost Of transportation,
and big saving can be effected in
this item alone if the public will
take more pains in preparing pack
ages for shipment. Agent Wood hopes
the Dillon shippers will use every eff
fort to make Il perfect score at the
Dillon offices during the month OF
November.

Beginning of Prosperity.

From Harper's Magazine.
An old farmer was in debt to a
friend for money with which to buy
a pair of steers. and as the times
were hard. was unable to cancel it.
He was renter, and at least every
other season he occupied a different
farm. BY the friends advice, he had
moved the year before into an entire
ly new field, a dozen miles from his
usual haunts. When his friend saw
him after an absence of several
months-business having taken him
into the old mans neighborhood -
the farmer hailed him from the corn
field and came out to the fence.
'Hello!" said the friend lis this
your farm?"
Yes; and 1 just come over to tell
YOU that | will be ready to pay part
OF that claim of yours before long"
You must be doing well?"
Il think / am doing first rate. and
l am powerful obliged to YOU for
heading me this way; it's kinder
strange but as long as am doing as
well as / am. am going to stand it,"
Are you making any money!"
The old mans face frightened per
ccptibly.
NO. l amt" he replied, hopefully:
but l am losing it slower than

FAMILY is DESTITUTE.
State Welfare Board Official Finds
Bad Case in Dillon County.

"One of the worst cases 1 have
found in the state exists here in Dill
lon county" said Mrs. ". c. Cath
cart. of the State Welfare Board to
!, Herald representative. THE case
wes reported TO me and 1 came over
from Columbia personally to inves-
tigate it. The family lives in The Cad
dys Mill section and when l went
there found a widowed father
slowly dying with cancer. There were
f%ur children, all girls, the eldest be-
ing 13 and the youngest years of
age. This is pitiable case. There is
no woman in the house and the cook
ing and nursing are done by the lit
tie girls. The family is dependent and
the neighbors send in enough to sus-
tain life, but their living conditions
are terrible. The girls have only a
limited knowledge of cooking and
housekeeping and any woman knows
what this means. The father is al
most helpless and the children are
sometimes kept up nearly all night
waiting on him. About the only atten-
tion he gets is what he receives from
these little girls. l do not know what
can be done with the case. l have
appealed to the county authorities
but they have only limited power.
The man can be put on the pauper
list. but what he would receive from
St&is source would not be sufficient
u F,,e him the treatment he should
hayc. The state has made only a
meacro appropriation for this kind of
welfare work and the funds in my
office are not sufficient to care for
all these cases. Miss Mcleod. the
county nurse who accompanied me to
the house. has the matter in hand
and is doing the best she can. We
hope to be able to do something for
this sorely afflicted family"

In order for Dillon county to get

RUM RUNNING ON
! CANADIAN BORDER

Burlington. Vt, April IL
Smuggling of whisky across the
Canadian border into Vermont
will be virtually restricted after
May to the small supply that
trickle in through satchels, boot
legs and hip pockets, in the opin-
ion Of prohibition agents here.
On that date a Dominion law
limiting each purchase of whisky
to a single quart becomes effec-
tive. While beers and wines
flow freely north of the line, I'm
tied States officers do not antici-
pate any flood on this side he
cause the profits in these light IL
quors are too small to tempt Il
rum-rtlnners.
Recent seizures have indicated
concerted effort to rush large
stocks of whisky into the state
before the Canadian one-quart
limit is enforced. Automobile
traffic, formerly the principal I'M
derground source is less used
nowadays. but now and then a
loaded car is caught slipping
with muffled motor along the
paths of the border. Scores of
machines have been abandoned
recently by parties that were
checked by vigilant guards.
Most of the shipments, how
ever, have been made by freight
car in recent months. False sides
had been built into lumber cars
and whisky in large quantities
concealed in the skillfully con-
structed bins. Spirits have come
across the line also hidden in hay,
grain, potatoes and shipments OF
a similar nature. Some have
fallen into the revenue officers
hands before leaving the railway
tracks.
Capture of liquor cached in
freight cars, however. is more OF
less a matter of luck, the en-
forcement agents, admit and this
is the chief reason for the use OF
this means Of smuggling by the
men who thereby avoid risk OF
their persons or automobiles
