PUBLIC OFFICE XO S1XKCIKF.
A more or less false idea seems!
to prevail as to public office nowadays.
There are those who feel that
to hold a public position is a matter
of "flowery beds of ease " Within
recent years the duties and demands
of practically all positions of
public trust have multiplied and so
the public official who measures up
to these demands finds that his i3 a
strenuous life. It is true that a few
positions may not require so much
time and labor, but a majority do.
It is a "man's job" to properly fill
the average public office. It is no
easy matter to hold what are re,
garded as the higher positions, such
' as assembly-man, congressman, governor
and president. M^cny a man
has shortened his life no doubt by
entering tne arena or pontics, u
he .is honest and faithful, as a rule
he gets a set back as to health and
finance. Verily public office is no
sinecure. r
WHOLESOME RECREATION.
It is generally agreed that some
recreation is needed by all people.
The only question is, how much and
what kind. After a day spent in
reasonably hard labor there is need
for relaxation and diversion. The
amount and kind differs with different
ages and professions. For instance
one expending physical toil'
would not in all respects require the!
i same diversion as one wjio expend.;
ed mental labor. But in some respects
their needs are similar. Whatever the
form of diversion it is ce^'ain that it
ought to be of the proper kind. We
want t0 emphasize the provision of
wholesome recreation. Let us see to
it that there is provided for the community
a class of entertainment and j
t recreation which shall be above cri?;
ticism and which shall serve to j
strengthen in all ways. Let our rec-I
reation be wholesome and construe,
tive rather than destructive.
; WHAT .NEXT)
The above is an appropriate headline
for the discussion of many
things, but just now we have in mind
the recent revelation of blackmail
and intrigue against certain con/
gressmen. If it has come to this pass
that publications containing threats i
against public officials are to be al-!
lowed the privileges of the public
mails and apparently enjoy Immunity;
is it not pertinent to ask, what next?!
This is a bold stroke for those wno
would anonymously intimidate. It j
seems to us that it is about time to
call a halt. To follow such tactics and
to allow such audacious Threatening'
is no way to handle the race ques-!
tion or any other question.
WELFARE WORK.
I
We hear a gr^at deal of late of ,
what is termed, "welfare work." By 1
this we understand work which has
for its purpose the provision of that
which ministers to community wel.-J
fare in needy localities. Much has1
been done in bettering conditions, im- j
proving school facilities, institutingvocational
training, and providing'
wholesome recreation. But there is
room for much more to be done. Various
organizations have included
certairt phases of this - work in the
scope of their activities and it is
encouraging to note the increased
emphasis upon this very important
matter.
It is strange that the Belgian mon-j
" arch3 are going west instead of south.
Florida surpasses California and they
will find the south more balmy than
the Rockies.
Our town seems to be short on
street sprinklers just now.

From Tit-Bits.
When the new husband reached
home from the office he found his
wife in tears.
"Oh, John,'' she sobbed, "to cele.
brate peace I made a lovely cake and
put it in the back porch for the frosting
to dry out?and the dog ate it!"
"Well don't cry about it, sweetheart,"
he consoled, patting the pretty
flushed cheek: "I know a man who
will give me another dog.

DILLON JAILOR COMMENDED. J^*
1 ^
Official Report Says Jail is Well,
Kept and in Excellent Condition, j
Following is the official report 011 !S'
the Dillon County jail, following ani*^.
inspection bv the State Board of' *
Charities and Corrections: j*
Mr. L. F. Britt, Jailor, visited Sep.
te^nber 16, 191?, by assistant Sec re- J * 1
tary Broyles. Inmates, 1 white man,'* 1
a county prisoner.
There has been niu h improvement!
in the condition of tL Dillon -jail a:
since last summer. In the winter of [Ul
1917.1918 all the pipes in the building
froze, and had not been repaired!*1,*
in May 1918, which caused the score ,li!
of the building itself to be low. This!1"'*
year, however, all of this trouble has
been remedied, and all the toilets andjes
baths were in working order. The m
plant of the Dillon jail is first class. |ca
being among the best in the state, and j ta
the active management by the sheriff w
and jailor is also good. We especially sh
commended the sheriff and jailor for o\
their attention to cleanliness of the sil
prisoners and their bedding, and for er
giving the prisoners three meals es
daily. The total score of the jail has yC
increased this year from 723 joints ^
to 772 out of a posible 1,000.
We recommend that the jailor have'0r
the floors scoured and the workie].
mopped off with a rag dipped in oil'
everv week. Use some means in keen- _
ing down the dust in sweeping either!
by sprinkling or the use of some com-!
mercial dust preventive.
We reccommend that the Commis-jm
sior.ers improve the already excellent |
building by having it screened com-!0'
pletely; that the steel work be painted ^
immediately to stop the rust which
has begun forming; that heavy canvass
ticks be purchased to cover the
cotton pads on the bunks, to protect _
these pads from dirt and excessive "
wear; and finally that a regular
county physician be employed to A
make an examination of each newly!
admitted prisoner, and tew make regj
ular weekly inspections c? the jail, i
especially the Food and quarters of j
the prisoners. If the doctor should!
find any prisoner suffering with tuberculosis
they should be sent to the,
penitentiary to await trial or to serve
sentence, as the case may be. They
may be kept in the penientiary more
cheaply than they can be kept in Dillon.
and have the privileges of treatment
in the penitentiary tuberculosis
hospital.

WIFE SOLD TO HAREM.
Chicago, Oct. 11.?The cost that a
man must pay to be a Christian in
Turkey was recounted by Isador der
Bochos when he made application in
iuc r uuriai vuui i Jin c iui a (iaoo|FUi t
to Constantinople, where he hopes to A
rescue his wife from a Turkish ha- V
rem. A
Bochos's story might have been V
plucked from the pages of histoiy of J
Nero's time. Four years ago, when 1
Turkey joined with Germany to crush J
the world, wholesale slaughter of I
Chrlstain Armenians was ordered by 1
the Sultan. I
With thousands of others, Der 1
Bochos and his family were seized. A
His wife was sold into the harem of Ij
a wealthy Turkish official. Their A
three children were scattered.
Der Bochos was sentenced to die. A
With 200 Armenians he awaited ^
' . \!>
inging. As he waited a Turkish
aard was shot at his side. Der
ochos fainted. NWhen he revived,
te'hangings had been completed and;
? lay in a heap of corpses. The ex-J
tutioner, thinking him dead, liadj
?glected him.
He escaped into the Russian lines
id served with the Y. M. C. A.
iroughout the war. A trusted friend
>scued his daughters and took them
i Russia.
After the war Der Bochos learned |
is son, now sixteen years old. had;
?en brought to America by some
'fuges. He found him in Chicago,
nd now he wants to go to Coastannople
to rescue his wife.
"How can you free her when you
uch Constantinople?" the immigra011
agent asked.
"I know not, he replied, "but I
ive come through so much it seems
have been aided by miracles. Peraps
there will be another miracle
id then we will all be together as in
le old days."
