MAKCH 2, 1911. Everybody who wants biennial sessions of the legislature and a ' J j four-year term for governor will hold up their hands, plea:>e. The electric light cotnniis.sioit^|a j have acted wisely in providing an ; all-day or twen/y-iour hour current)' foi Dillon. Them are lots of small enterprises in /Dillon that can use J | e.?c*rlc current for'power purposesJ, and lots of fther enterprises will I , drtft.to Dillchi whbn they find out j ^ that day current can be secured. I I bi Day current 'will do more towards building up tVe_ci$^-than any other S* enterprise we kno*v of at present. ** it will put Dillon on an equal basis |P with the larger cities/ and small Cl manufacturers will find it more economical to operate their plnats ? in a smaller city where rents and ^ tabor are cheaper. Mleotric current 1 is an important fartor in the build- ,l tng of a city. In\ tact n town that i u docs not provido/ail-day current for'8' power purposes IriYi never be a city.!8' K will always / remaiu a town be-' " ' * 1 "tfy there are -icrtain enterprises J ' that cannot it current uo nujro than a human be? 1 fog can live without food. Bennetts- 1 ville, Parlingtqh, Florence and oth- ^ er progressive rkwiiy ir^ the Pee l>e<* have discovered the sopret of city building and are proi/iding their citizens with all-day ci^rrent. It is fortunate that wo ha ye elected us, | V r>/\mmluaiAnitwc nw.nr .?wi?rfi??cie/. . , --y enough in their idea's to keep L>ill-' HJ on in the fore-fron/ in this import- si ant matter. ?

An- ! t other fact worthy of note is that j while other sections of the State If hate Buffered from drouth and too 1 much rainfall, tiieve hss never been j' v. crop failure In. this immediate see- s tfon, nor has the- production ever j' fallen below 60-per cent, during the j most unfavorable nwuinnn ft ricm. hod desires an jdeal location for it3 1 | experiment ?tatV>ii, where the very i( hest result* can be obtained, it will ! make a mistake in not considering the many advantage* Dillon offer*. , 0?. (i The Herald is not an alarmist, neither does It >elieve in making an , fsampic of isolated eases of %rime, < hut there la io questioning the 1 fact that a spirit of ^mtlessnesH is , 1 manifesting itself efth such fro- 1 quency that witto sfeps should be taken to suppress it. (Saturday night , a young white many was shot while < peacefully Journeying to his home ' an the factory hill after making his 1 usual Saturday night purchases. It | gpuears that be waa a irtctlm of t some lawless person's mistake, o: Some party was lying in wait for p< nnother ami mistook the young man lor his Intended victim. The fact lr a . o mistake was made is not an o< extenuating circumstance. The man 8, lying in pmbush had murder in his u heart. Jle was crouching behiud a ?* haystack armed with u shotgun w i h< ready to do his fellow man to t{ death. J Whether he succeeds does at not mutter. In his heart the mur- jj der had already been committed, h; The savage spirit?like that of the 1? jungle or the frontier?was there *c and the utter disregard of law man ife3ted itself. In the upper part of ai the couuty on the following night a mau murdered a woman and wound- ol \ ed her paramour ou slight provocate tion. Here wast another manifesta- jr lion of the savage spirit?the same Ui spirit of lawlessness that prompted ol the man lying In ambush on the previous night / to slay his fellowman. On the/same night the citi- w sens of southeast Dillon were very at much disturbed by a serleH ol" gun tn ind pistol allots. The disturbance tc tore all the/ evidence of a skirmish iear the fltpng line of battle. (iuns U' tc oared an<J flashed intermittently w ilong the bublic highway and there at v:ts an pccasional yell which ex-- nt ireasod t^ie deep sense of pleasure IK lie savage spirit experienced in givWi ng vent, to its lawless tendencies. ^ 'ersons sitting in their homes were ar larmc-d i and terrified at such va n outbreak of violence. It us semud that the law had been iir rushed aside and there was rising fc i its place w reign of terror. The .. th lere firing of a gun upon the publi I)c. ighway is not jk very great crime, fir ut it is a violation of the law. The Pu ?me spirit that prompts a person j recklessly discharge a firearm ln mi nompts him to comptit a greater jOI rime. He has no Respect for the re ;w; he docs not respect the rights ur f others; he is a hutuan derelict uffeted around oo the ocean of 1st umanity .propclle'j. by the power of gQ savage will that refuses to bend th 'j tne lews o{ society. It is this 1" pint of lay; lessn^ss that should be uppresse<3.

If you have experienced such ^ feeling and are so unfortunate as an ) give way to it to any marked de- us ree, the chances' are that you are w lying the foundations 1 or a future w, F>rK>us handicap. Believing our- tj, elves to be superior to those with to honi we are thrown in contact is |f, aturally one of the most distressig mental coivditions imaginable, or not only do we in this waj tnperil our 0*11 happiness but we lake ourselve^t unbearable to oih- W rs. There ii^ so much that can be hi aid in conde/nnation of this unwor- tli hy spirit thgt an adequate arraign- a aent would fill volumes, and yet. It ictw ithstanding this fact it must be tl idmittod thut society, in the broad- ai Rt wnse of the word, is filled with "j lei-sons *ho, ^ convinced of their rt uental or moral, or physical su- tl Hjriortty, live their lives with the tc single desire of impressing that su- ri periority upon their neighbors, es Fhere is scarcely a man in whatever w station of life he may chance to occupy who is not at times sincerely In Impressed with the; fact that he is r; better than this, that or the other gi person. He may be possibly the last ti person to admit such a belief, but H leep in his heaijt he knows that h iuch is the casd. si In many instances we conceive a oi om passion, af it were, for those 6: who appear 4o lack our natural pi gifts, and very often that compas- ol passion resolwes itself into nothing oi more than a lain attempt to flaunt tl >ur supposed/ superiority before the m ?yea of otitis the eyes of otherh, V when all the time, if we but knew, h< :hose whomi we disparage possess :lie Inner gifts and finer churacteris- al Lies of natures far beyond our com- ei prehension.

Nature i ill of surprises And no leas long them is her/ aystem of valu Lion. / It is not, however, by reason o ur imagined superiority that we al ays differ frony others.

Some of ui ave little patience with those wh< ipareutiy seem to prefer to liv< i themselves and who ignore oui ell mejint, but possibly untimel: lvances. 11 is hard to sound th< itures j of those unapproachabl. rsons'and after one or two faint rnrted jattempts to draw them ou p are very likely to leave them t?. emselv|ps. We may perhaps argue id rightly, too, that if our ad mees ary not responded to it h eless to try to make any furthci ipression.Nnnd yet the fact remains at different persons require dif rent method^ of handling, anc at often a person's happiness dends on our ability to^help hini id himself. If V*e were to try and it ourselves in the place of senive persons, and there are timet most of our lives when we art are or less sensitive to the opinns of others, we wiould perharw alize something of the difficulty ider which they labor.
