DISEASE If Fountain Inn Tribune. Diseases tbat are contagious, and possibly mortal, are properly dreaded, and civilized communities will < adopt every measure to confine them $ within the narrowest scope, and to prevent their recurrence. bjj If some mortal disease raged in 3W South Carolina?a disease that demanded its two victims each day? citizens would unite in an effort to y V stamp it out. If the disease attack- , ed men in the prime of life, without warning, and left them dead upon tho ground within a minute of time, J>\ all tho world would stand nghast. ]/? Families would flee from the plague- A stricken district to happier climes; visitors would shun this state as K3 they shun death; government might become marital; great minds from EiS London to Nanking would study the ] |&3 disease?and soon a remedy would ??? be devised. Is It not true? ; Yet there Is such a disease, such ! E a plague, In South Carolina. Al- | ready In this year of grace, 1913, Ave 1 hundred victims have fallen. Each \ day claims more. It Is a disease of mind. Some I say that it is a disease of tempera- j ment, but that Is a lie. Tempera- ' ' ment does not slay. It is a mental . I disease?a state of mind. | It is the state of mind that has no regard for law; a state of mind that makes each man his own judge, Jury ^ and avenger. It Is the state of mind of the savage. And because such a Btate of mind lfl common to the majority of South Carolina citlrens, we elect to ofAce corrupt, Ignorant or cowardly men who neither try nor care to uphold and enforce our laws. And because \ we have such officers, and juries composed of men with such a state of mlnrl onnh of no Innwa III may go out tomorrow and shoot down whomsoever he may choose, ^ with the certainty of escaping punishment. Men have come to regard law as a thing to be avoided or circumvented, but never respected or obeyed. Boys Just entering their 'teens are taught, by example, that it is manly to carry a pistol and courageous to use it?whereas no one but a coward need carry a pistol and no one but a simple brute need use one. How long, think you, can this thing last? South Carolina hns an approximate male population of 2!>0,- j 000. At the rate of two murders a day, the male population would be ' decimated In forty years! And do not think that these murderers are confined to a certain class! The rich and poor, educated and ignorant, alike despise the law and the creatures of the law. All classes carry pistols. All classes use them. The murder reported from a neighboring county tomorrow may cause you little uneasiness. But how can you know that the friend who clasps your hand and smiles Into your eyes, will not, for some real or fancied grievance, draw his gun and murder you tomorrow? Why should you be safe and your neighbor fall a victim? Each man you meet may he [ an embryo murderer, and each j throught you express aloud may ; prove the cause of your death. Do not say I exaggerate. Two i murders a day is taking quick toll. ' You have no reason to hope that j death will pass you by. There is a remedy?there must I be a remedy!

We need some application to alleviate the present acute stage of the disease. Father in Heaven give us the wisdom to work out our salvation! Unhitched Teams on the Streets. Greenwood Dail Journal. ^ It seems to us that in the dim past, the long, long ago, there was an ordinance prohibiting people from leaving their teams on the streets unattended or not hitched. And we have an impression that some kind of show was made at enforcing the ordinance. But whatever may have been in the past, the present reveals the fact that at almost any hour of the day not only one team but teams numerous may be found standing hitched to vehicles of all kinds without an attendant, and no one seems to care. The owners of the teams seem to be without concern as to whether they run away, smash up their vehciles, and kill everything in sight or not. Now, it seems to us that some attention should bo given to this matter. If there is no ordinance, then 1 it might not be amiss to pass one and enforce it to the letter. In this connection, it may not be 1 out of place to call attention to the blocking of the streets by vehicles. It is a common thing to find wagons stopped on narrow thoroughfares so as to make It Impossible for anyone to pass. Thoughtless people Just drive up and block the street, and seem unmindful of the fact that it is ' a public thoroughfare, made to travel and not as a place to park teams. It seems to us that it would not be necessary to have an ordinance to remedy such a condition as this. | We will at this time only refer pedestrians crowding the side- i walks so as to force persons to take the streets. Time and again we have seen ladies doing this. They are driven out among the wagons, buggies and machines, and must ?- ~l J - ? - -1J- * ? - 1 uuusr iitflll PIUU ui nine 10 KPOp irom being run over.
