CANDIDATE BLEASES CHANGE \
AGAINST LANCASTER.
T:ie Hon. Cole L. Blease, judgiiC
- rnm Ilia cnoar>li Knrn loci C,(

w-ijiy, is under the impression I
Cuttt conditions have not improv-j
a Lancaster since the voting
0*6 of the dispensary. In fact,'
Lie has been correctly reported,
is lot on'iy believes that there
ijae been no improvement, but
oafc conditions are even worse
t:vn formerly, for lie is quoted
*1 saying, ''There's more liquor
'ttxnk in Lancaster county now
ulan there was before you voted
st the dispensary.'*
According to our observation
*nd information, Mr. Blease does
-bmcaster a gross injustice. We
an not a prohibitionist, and in
Ae slection held in this county
fest October we supported the
iipensary, believing it to be a
voir policy to retain the system
ni'til the legislature could be
?v*en an opportunity to provide
abetter method tor the regulaiwn
of the liquor traflic rather!
unu experiment Willi prohlbl
^.toii, but we deem it nothing but
Ttjht and proper to accord to
t*e prohibitionists all the credit
cNjl- them. Our impartial judg
?*:ut is that, owing to the untiractivity
of the Anti Liquor
league and the vigilance ot the
w-fci-e officers, there is very much j
fas drunkenness, and consequent
l*f>iderly conduct, in Lancaster
> )ay than there was a year ago. j
As was to he expected, tlie ex
tress receipts of liquor have
lyteatly increased, and occasion
uiy we hear of a blind tiger get?.?g
into the toils of the law,
w?ir the consumption of liquor is
(*vrtainly by no means as great
when the dispensary was open.
?ow' long present conditions will
Inst remains to be seen. We are |
xi 1 v dealing with the record as |
*0 find it now. It is not ourj
purpose to indulge ill any pre

*W INCIDENT OF THE PRESS ASSOCIATION
RECALLED.
In a previous issue of The News
directed attention to the fact 11
.Nat Colonel William Hanks, o! I
Columbia State, in his in j
uosely interesting sketches of j
*io members present at the recent 1
meeting of the State Press Asso
ciation, stated tha . B. K.
Wylie, of The hi er News,
along with others mentioned,
''represented the Seceder element
of the association." We, at the
same time, knowing Mr. Wylie
to be a staunch Presbyterian?
at least while at home?stated
that it was in order for Col.
Banks or Mr. Wylie to explain
how the latter happened to get
his religion mixed during his so
jouru in the city by the sea. We
also suggested that most likely
Charleston's famous Goose Creek
water had produced a bad effect
either on Col. Banks or Mayor
A'ylie.
And now comes the genial and
talented Colonel and kindly
throws a flood of light on the
mystery. In a note to the editor,!
he says : 'Mayor Wylie experienced
an entire change of heart
at the Isle of Palms and wanted
Rouse's version of the Psalms
adopted as the ritual of the association."
That lets Col. Banks out of it,
but how about Mayor Wylie??
Is it possible that salt water and
surf bathing will make a red-hot
Seceder out ot an all-wool-and-ayard
wide Presbyterian ?
SOME ADVICE BY ONE EDITOR TO
ANOTHER.
The editor of the esteemed Lancaster
News seems to be mightily
interested in trying to find out
what a -'peek-a boo" waist is.?
Fie upon thee, Brother Connors !
B tter curb that curiosity. It
might lead you into trouble. Or,
if it gets the best of you, take a
trip to Wrightsyille Beach and
iaye your curiosity satislied.?
Rock Hill Record.
Fortunately or unfortunately?
depending upon the viewpoint ?
we possess no railroad pasteboard,
but when walking gets
easy, contemporary, we shall
adopt your suggestion as to taking
a trip to the sea-shore, as we
will thereby be enabled to kill
two birds with one stone?not
only get a peep at a peek a boo,
but also see what we have never
yet "laid eyes on"?a woman
in a bathing suit ! The fact of
the matter is we have never seen
a bathing suit itself, not even
one 'hanging on a hickory limb,'1
much loss coyly clinging to femininity
of divine form. You will
readily perceive, therefore, that
our education has been sadly
neglected along these lines?or
curves.
In the meantime, contentpor
ary, maybe you can give us some
idea as to what a peek-a-boo
looks like; also, a bathing suit.
THE STATE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR
COLORED TEACHERS.
Principle M. D. Pee. of the
colored graded hcIioo! of Lancaster,
who is one of the instructors
in the state summer school for
negro teachers now in session at
Benedict College, Columbia,
writes us: The State Summer
School for Negro Teachers opened
wi:h 102 teachers in attend
ance. There were 62 in the
State Teachers' Association. All
negro teachers should be here."
According to the Columbia
Record the school's enrollment
Ira-* since reached 1!>3. The first
lecture of the course, says the
Record, was delivered by Principal
Lee. "Books and Iiow to
Read 1'hem" was his subject.
I
He urged the teachers to organize
reading circles in their communities
and pay more attention to
the reading habits of the pupils
under their charge."
As previously published, the
county campaign opens at Belair
August 14th. The full list ol
appointments will be published
again before the meetings b gin.
Ill order that the public generally
may see how the various candidates
stand on the issues of the
dav, The News has arranged for
the publication of reports of the
first two meetings, at least.?'
Speeches at the remaining meetings
will also be reported if they
do not prove to he repetitions ol
the introductory ones.
The News congratulates its esteemed
Rock Hill contemporaries
on tl eir recent evidences of prosperity.
The Record has just mov
ed into new and better quarters
and the Herald has installed a
new press. The News is a!so
keeping up with the procession.
It received yesterday a modern
paper folding machine and has
ordered an uptodate printing
press, which is now on its way to
Lancaster Iroin the factory. The
News is certainly going to "spread
out" and make things hum when
all of its new machinery shall be
ins ailed.
