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! Education, enforce- <

election of clean and able men?all
these may be advanced as efficacious
treatments, but they are slow?and
we are slower to adopt them.
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

being run over. Certainly the sldewalks
are to walk on, but they are
not Intended as places for groups of
people to stand and block them so
as to make them impassable.
