Well-Known Colored Man Fames.
Bill Smith is dead. This announcement
will not attract attention
outside of Dillon county;
but there are hundreds of men
in the county who will pause
and reflect us their eyes fall upon
these words. Bill was a unique character.
He wus probably one of the besk
known colored men in the county.
Every ntan who ever lived in Dillon
and every fanner who ever sold ?
' bcle of cotton on the Dillon marketj
knew Bill. No one ever called him
"Snttth:" it was Bill?just plain.
Bill. Bill's lite was so closely woven
into the history of the town that he
was a part of Dillon. He wag one of
its landmarks and Dillon will never
he quite the jtauie now that Bill is
ptne. Bill hart lived and labored with
white men all his life and he knew
the white man's wavs like a school
boy knows his A. 1). C's. He loved to
listen to his white friends as they
discussed the various problems of the.
day, and for hours he has' sat at a
respectful distance as croups of men
argued polities, religion or other
matters, taking in every word that
was said without so much as presuming
to let it be known that lie was an
interested listener. And then again he
knew when to say the right word at
the right moment, and when he knew
that what was being said was not
meant for him to hear he would fade
away like the mist before the morning
sun. Bill believed in himself and
the ambition of his life was to make
his white friends believe in him. If
hc happened to do what was not right
be stoutly maintained his innocence,
and one of his familiar arguments
was "De best white men of dis community
knows me and dey knows I'se
honest."Bill came to Dillon before the
railroad "ran." when the only business
establishments were a turpentine
still operated by the Moore brothers
ana small general merchandise store.
He was one of its pioneers. He
bought a lot and built a housP and
became a citizen. He took great pride
in his town, and if there were times
in which, through evil influences, he
infringed on the town's laws or fell
by the wayside he paid the penalty
uncomplainingly and continued to remain
one of the town's most steadfast
and faithful supporters. He had
his faults but his virtures were many.]
He was as loyal to those hp served as
he was to the town in which he llvj?

THE DILLON
ed. There was a time in Dillon's early
history when at the risk of his ownj
life he saved a brave officer's life i
and th* Honor of the town. The cir- i
cumstauces which cannot, for obvious
reasons, be told in these columns are
still fresh in the minds of many of ,
the older inhabitants. At u ripc. old (
uge he has crossed over to that shore
where many of his white friends he 5
served sa faithfully in the days gone
by stand ready to greet him. His
skin war black but he lived his life '
as best be could. Although an hum- !
ble citizen, he leaves his impress on
his romiuunity, and there will be
many among both white and black 1
who will not soon forget him. Somehow
Dillon will not seem just the
same without Bill tind there are many '
who will miss that cheerful greeting,
"Howdy, boss." as he touched his
hat with a respectful bow.
A mute but eloquent tribute to his
memory was the large gathering at '
his funeral SSnnflnw ofio'-""" ?

Freak legislation. t
(
Chester News.
Fr.eak legislation or freak propos :
als for legislation are not to be taken
too seriously. Yet often they il- '
lustratc tendencies and we think this '
is true in the case of the bill introduced
in the Florida senate far the ,
limitation of lawyers' Incomes to $3.- ,
000 a year.
This may be one of those speci- |
mens of humor which sometimes en- l
liven the tedium of legislative labor, i
but even as satire it suggests an ob- <
servable change in the American <
spirit. The element of envy has (
grown in our popular psychology.
Earlier American life was not envious.
It was too vigorous and hopeful
foi envy. If a man excelled In any ,
direction, and perhaps especially if
he excelled in business or finance,
wc were proud of it. We believed in
our own country as a land of opportunity
and in ourselves as a nation
of freemen, each capable of taking
care of himself and asking no favors.
We bragged a good deal and we
fought furious battles in politics.
But there was very little envy of
another's good fortune or greater
wealth.

HERALD, BUlLON, SOUTH CARO
It is unpleasant to admit that that
spirit has ^weakened. For a generation
and more .there has been a perBlste^t
stream of .criticism, some of
it quite justified, but more of it
unfounded, distorted, superficial and
shortsighted. There is a great deal
of imported sentiment, prejudgment
and embittered morale. There has
been a great deal of pointing out the
hole and ignoring .the doughnut by
professional criticism and professional
pessimism.
