.MORE BOUQUETS FOR THE NEWS.
Among the letters complimentary
to The News received this
week are several from most excellent
judges of a good newspa
per. Mr. .J. S. Gladre.v, general
manager of the Screven County
Oil Mills, of Georgia, writes :
"Inclosed find check for $1.50
for mv Fiihset i nl ion to The I.nn
caster News. I would not be
without your paper. I like The
News. You certainly have made
an improvement."
Mr. F. (). London, manager of
Celders European Hotel, Atian
ta, Ua? in subscribing to The
News, writes :
"Allow me to congratulate
you on such a nice paper as is
The News. It has my best wish
es for its success."
Mrs. Clara C. Edwards, of
Rutherford College, N. ('., says :
" Plflflsp find HHiiiPW ni'floi" mi.
closed lor $1.50 for The Lancaster
News It is a fine paper and i
a welcome visitor to my home." <
Mr. W.J. Vaughn, of Heath
Springs, in paying Thursday for ,
a year's subscription to The i
News, remarked :
"The paper is a'l right?just .
what. I wanted it to be, and 1
don t, see how it could be made
any better."

THE FIGHT AGAINST LIQUOR.
J
The News recently urged organized
action to suppress liquor
selling in the county. It is 1
scarcely necessary, therefore to '
state that the organization ol
the Anti-Liquor League here ,
last Monday has this paper's
hearty endorsement.
As is known to at least some j
of the readers of The News?
those who were patrons of the
old Review?the writer fought 1
prohibition in the recent dis- 1
pensary?prohibition campaign,
for reasons not necessary now
to state, but, while his views l
have undergone no change, he |
rpnorrnizps t.he ricrht. of t.hp mn
"O? " ,
jorify to rule. And he now feels
it to be his duty to do all in his
power to help carry out the will
of the majority as expressed in
the late election. Such is also
the munifest duty of all others who
voted on the losing side. 1
The people have declared most *
emphatically for prohibition, 1
? . J :l L 1
md prohibition they should
iav?, if such a thing can be
nade possible. The prohibitory
eature of the dispensary law is
low in effect in Lancaster county,
or rather it is applicable to
thiscounty, but to make it effective
every law-abiding citizen
must do his duty. The blind
tiger, the most contemptible of
all law violators, must be pur- ,
sued with relentless vigilance.
The officers of the law will be
powerless to keep the tiger down
without the active and moral
support of the people themselves.
And the people can best
lend their aid through the medium
of an organization such as
that formed heie this week. Let
every citizen in the county,
therefore, who believes in the
maintenance of law and ouler,
and especially the law against
the selling of liquor, attei-d the
mass meeting to be held at the
court house next Monday, for
the purpose of etxending the
work of the Anti-Lquor League
into every township and into
every community.
BHOUGHTON VS DIXON.
Critics of "The Clansman"
are keeping the author, Tom
Dixon, in hot water. lie does
not get through answering one
attack on his play before he has
to meet another, llis latent
clash was in Atlanta this week
with Dr. Broughton, the well
known divine of that city.
According to the Atlanta
Journal, Dr. Broughton, in the
course of a sermon preached by
him Tuesday night, said of
"The Clansman" that it was
"horn in hell and operated by
the devil.'* Replying to Br
Broughton, through the press,
Mr. Dixon ssiitl :
"I was a Baptist minister lor
twelve years and preached twice (
every Sunday during that time.
The work I did as a preacher was
insignificant and unimportant 1
compared to the work I am now
loing as a dramatist. I
' My play, 'The Clansman," is ,
the moat important moral deed ol
my lite. Before the throne of the
Eternal God, I will stand beside '
Dr. Broughton or any other Bap- i
list preacher with that manuscript i
in my hand, and say to the Judge
i>t the Earth, with reverence, with
joy and pride: 'This is my work.
I did it. *
"I am amazed beyond measure, '
I hat a man of l)r Broughton's \
common sense should have made |
itie idiotic statement quoted. I
must think the reporter trot it '
mixed. '
"Any preacher who today op !
poses his church members going i
io a decent, thoughtful play, is a |
tool and a stumbling block in the
way of intelligent religion
frJlru ,,q\/ nn ution
lion to such rot. My friend should
repent and tall in line with the
progress of religion and culture."
Mr. pixon will no doubt hear 1
from I)r. Broughton again, for the
latter is a tighter from Fighters
irille.

Russia's Freedom
WThat the Czar's Manifesto
Means?"A Constitutional
Monarcyh, with a Legislature
Elected by the People."
The Atlanta Journal.
The manifesto issued yesterday
by tlie''autocrat ot all the Russian"?
Leaves Russia without an autocrat.
The czar directs his ministers
to carry out the to'.lowing le
lorms:
"Firs*?To extend to the
popul: ti >n the in mutable foundations
of liberty, based on the
real inviolability of person,
freedom ot conscience, speech,
union and association.
"Second?Witliout suspending
the already ordered elections to
the state douma, to invite parti
cipalion in the douma, so tar as
the limited time belore the con
vocation of the douma wili per
mi*, those classes ot the popula
lion now completely deprived ol
electoral rights, leaving the ulti
male development ol the electoral
right in general to the newly
established legislative order of
i hings.
"Third?to establish an unchangeable
rule that, no law
shall be enforceable without the
approval of the State Douma and
that it shall be possible for the
elected of the people to exercise
real participation in the supervision
ot the legality ol the acts ot
the authorities appointed by us.
In short, today linds Russia no
longer a despotism but practical
Iv a constitutional monarchy,
with a legislature elected by the
people.
Liberty ban come to the Russian
masses alter decades ut oppression
and slavery.
lint will ibev know bow to
use ii ?
A constitutional assembly was
lorced Irom l be Burbons also.
But tbe taste of blood was in
ho throats of the people. A1
though they had obtained more
than I hey asked tor in the be{inning,
they asked lor still more
tud more. They plunged France
in anarchy.
Must Russia pass through the
<ame experience? Or is the
jonservative element there strong
enough to curb the "reds" and
LTasp and use the immense tangible
good which has already been
gained? Are t lie masses wise
enough to see that they have
gained all they can put to use
already, and strong enough to
lorego a revenge?
If the Russian people have the
strength and wisdom to take
what they have won and use it
wisely now, without further
bloodshed or rioting, it must be
said of them that they are one of
I he greatest people the world
has ever known.

His Pipe Shot.
Unusual Experience of a
Rock Hill Lad?M oral:
Don't Smoke at All.
Rock Hill Herald, Nov. lBt.
A Rock Hill boy had a rather
strange and unusual experience
the other day. Lie had just
| finished his noonday meal and
| seated himself on the porch of
i his boarding house to enjoy his
' pipe along with a friend. lie
filled his pipe with tobacco he
carried loose in his coat pocket,
'applied a match and after taking
several draws and as he held
the pipe in his hand tlu re was a
loud report, a bullet struck the
ceiling overhead and the pipe
was blown from the smoker's
'hand by the explosion. Alter
recovering from fhe shock I he
young man turned to his triend
and asked, "are you shot?" The
reply came, "are you shot?" A
22 ealibie riHe cartridge which
t lie young man had carelessly
dropped in his pocket was put in 1
tiie pipe along with the tobacco
and the smoker was not a ./are
that he was smoking a combina
tion until the exnlosinn occurred

PRESIDENT
PAUL MORTON
Outlining the policy of the new
management of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the
United States in an address delivered
before a Convention of
Equitable Agents, among other
things says :
"Already there has been a
saving in the administration of
your Society amounting to approximately
$600,000 perannum.
This equals 4 per cent, on an
investment of $15,000,000.
This is the equivalent to having
$15,000,000 more 4 percent,
bonds in our vaults. There will
be other economies, and I can
only repeat that retrenchment
and conservative management
is going to be our policy. I have
great ambitions for the Equitable.
1 want it to be not only the
greatest and the best but the
safest and most conservative life
insurance institution in the land.
I want it to be the one that the
agents will like the very best to
work for. I want it to be the one
that bankers and people who
have securities for sale can feel
that they will always get a square
deal from. I want it to be the
one that policyholders will recommend
their friends to insure
in and that everybody can point
to with pride. 1 want it to be
known, not only as the strongest
financially, but the strongest
morally."
Moral : Insure in the Equitable
Life, "Strongest in the
World."
