WuUhI Warrant for Husband Who j
Threatened Suicide, but Official*
Demand money.
Montreal, April 22.?Because Mrs.^
Joseph Bourdan did not have the i
necessary $3 required as a fee for.
a warrant of arrest she is a widow
to-day. '.
Mrs. Bourdan went to the Record- ; I
er's Court office late yesterday and ,'
hysterically informed the officials in j
charge that he husband was making i
elaborate plans to commit suicide.
She urged that he be arrested or in
some way prevented from carrying
out his design.
The court officers, after careful
questioning, informed her they they '
would be glad to issue a warrant
for the man's arrest if she would )
pay the usual $3 fee. She lacked a 1
few cents of the necessary amount,
however, and the court clerks de- 4
v clined to make out the papers. !

very heavy frost in this section this '
morning; most of the farmers are j
through planting cotton and same:'

Some have a few seed left over, [v
some have-none. If Mr. Jack Frost i j;
visits us again as he is this morn- j

Dillon, S. C. \
Dear Sir: ?
Please find check for $3.25 to ^
? credit my subscription to The Her- .
aid. I congratulate you on the paper
you are getting out, the articles ^
you give on civic pride, schools and
good roads. Be a booster or be a ^
clam. 1 left my old home at Gallavon
14 years ago and it is with I
much pleasure I see Dillon county 1
forging onward so rapidly. May
your people and the railroads get '
together and give Dillon the pas- j
senger depot it deserves. We are j
going to hold an election here on |
the 24th inst. to authorize $50,000
more bonds to complete our new
water works system costing $150,-|
000 . It will carry success to you
and yours.
Yours truly, l
R. L.. Cottingham. '
The County Commissioners have
very wisely decided to build a sand e
and clay road from the North Caro- ! i
lina line above Hamer to the conn- | ^
ty line below Sellers. The road will ! <:
pass through Hamer, Dillon and Lat ^
ta and will provide easy means of F
travel to either of these towns.How- f
ever, the road should be t
made to paralled the Atlantic Coast j
Line Railroad and should not be a |]
zig-zag highway as is shown by the f
blue print which outlines the course i
to be followed. Years ago when j
time was too plentiful to be valued E
as one of man's assets distance was a
not regarded as of any consequence s
in the building of highways, and p
its was regarded as a matter of! t
economy to divert the course of a t
road several miles to save the ex-, f
pense of building a causeway or \ t
bridging a stream, but to-day condi- 11
lions are different, and while we v
are building permanent highways ' t
let us remember that time is mon- | f
ey and that it will pay in the long t
run to spend additional money in a
building new roads that will reduce j r
the distance from point to point, j u
When the road is completed from r
the State line on the north to the a
county line on the south another 1 f
road shhould be built from the ex- i a
treme upper end of the county
touching the Marlboro line on the g
west and ending at the boundrylc
line on the east. This road would f
connect the lower and upper ends t
of the county and would pass d
through Judson, Little Rock, Dillon a
and Pages Mill. The county would li
then be cut into squares and it | ii
would be an easy matter to connect i f
the public roadB from the settle- s
ments with the main highways. c

hat he is destructive, and not cc
itructive, in which, as investig
ion shows, he differs from his pi
lecessors of the last twenty years
east in trying to do somethii
vhereas they tried to avoid evei
hing. It seems clear that he is f
leavoring to break down here a
here, and it is difficult to s
fhere or what lie is trying to bui
ip. As matter of fact, however,
las not been in the chair mci
han a few months, and it is t
con to pass judgment. For t
iresent he has, among other thin)
aken issue with the Suprei
*ourt of the State in respect
ppointing a circuit court judj
loth the constitution and the sti
ites referring to the case iudicti
hat he was wrong, but Blease is
;ood lawyer who has been succei
ul in many important matters, a
ie says eh is right. The plain fa*
ire that Blease appointed a spec
udge to sit in an emergency, a
he next day the Chief Justice i
omniended for the same place
ntirely different person. The ct
ititution says that the Govern
"shall" appoint 011 the Chief Ji
ice's nomination. The Goverr,
'laims that he has the power of i
lointment, certainly he has t
lower of commission, and so,
he Governor will not confirm t
2hief Justice's selection, and as t
2hief Justice's choice cannot
vitliout. the Governor's commissi*
here is a deadlock and a da
trowing bitterness.
This Is typical only, though
onrse extremely inconvenient,
suggests Blease's determination
tave his own way for one thing,
n combination with all that lie 1:
lone since his inauguration it
uminates the very shrewd oracle
1 local observer. This gentlem
(aid: "Blease has made up 1
nind to punish all who worked a
'oied against him in the campaij
ind, by the same token, to rewa
ill of his supporters and ad vocal
vhen opportunity offers." A
his really seems to contain an <
ilanation of much, if not all,
las done.
Blease was elected Governor 1
muse he was an outspoken, not
tay violent, enemy of prohibitic
lis antagonist at the last was
dr. Featherstone, whom every bo
espected and liked except in 1
apacity as the prophet of Sta1
vide teetotalism. The better cli

ations of life. But South Caroli
vas weary of prohibition, with
ts hypocrisies and all the corru
ions and abuses that attend its c
(ration. The people had also w
leased the monstrous tyranny
he dispensary as conducted by t
itate. They had seen men of hui
le means and heavily mortgag
Ktssessions manage on a salary of
ew hundred dollars a year to fr
heir properties, to purchase larj
y on the outside, to accumule
leavy devosits in the banks, a
inally to bourgeon forth as cai
alists of high consequence and si
d establishment. So they want
teither State-wide prohibition n
. continuation of the State dispe
aries, which were robbing them
lain view. It happened, therefoi
nut wnen mease appeared befo
hem denouncing prohibition and i
ering instead the supreme alterc
ive, namely, local optino, Blea
riumphed and his adversari
rere cast down. It is now evide
hat BJease was not their choh
le was merely a makeshift. Th
he old antogonism, with the ov<
hadowing issue eliminated, h
eared its head again, and now t
ipper class opposition to Blease
aging afresh, aided by the impoi
nt newspapers and fanned by eve
atent prejudice of class condlti
nd acquired precedence.
Blease has never been perso
