Haviffg failed in the reoent
' < !l u t to net a in ass meeting ol
<itiz>nsto consider the Southern's
plans lor the Lancaster
<! >pof, the town council itself
lias taken some action in the
matter. Probably realizing that
it is now rather late to get any
radical changes made in the
Southern's plans, the company
already having a force of hands
at \v >rk on the old building the
council, at a meeting last Friday
evening, passed a resolution
asking the Southern 1o make
some suggested improvements
in its present plans. The resolution
is as follows :
"I-esolved by the Town Council.
in ?f ssion assembled, and hv
the authority of the same, That
Southern It. It. Co., in constructing
its depot at this place, be
requested to provide while and
colored waiting rooms each not
less than 20 leal (along side the
traca) by 16i feet (fronting
Main street) with toilet closets
lor the ladies. The said waiting
rooms 10 be finished up on the
inside in the style and
manner indicated in Mr. Heather's
letter to the Railroad Cornmission.
Also, that a shed of
suitable si/3 bo constructed at
the West end of said passenger
rooms for the protection of baggage
and the convenience and
comfort of ?h > traveling public."
Jbio it q iosl ol C( uiic.il is

THCLVNtHING EPIDEMIC
The action ol the Baptist Association
of Spartanburo in c ndcmninir
lynching cannt t be l o
sfiomdv commended. It would be
well I? r other religions ortta .i/i<ions
t folio.v the izoo 1 example

matter l>v Hie vari ?u-' elm relies
or assoc a olmr h??-< in tlie
stilt* woul'l doubtless gre illy
awl im nuilding up a healthy

Aii ili * work, however, of onl
tivV'ng tb in ud ol ,lio poo
I pie respect for Ihe majesty and
I supremacy of the laws ??f the
J land .should not ba loll to the
I good church members. Law-abid I
ing citiz mis generally should
lend a help ng hand, and especially
should ihe pulpit and press
redouble I heir ellorts to prv>niote
bolter conditions in Ihe slate.
It has often occurred to us I
that the colored preachers could, <
if they woul 1 but make the right c
kind of effort, do more to stop \
lynching than possibly any c
other class of citizens. The low, i
ignorant type of negro?Ihe ?r
kind that commits rape?rarely |
if ever sees a newspaper; he 1
knows little or nothing of what 1
is going on in odi *r communities
and in other stales; he never 1
hears of the swift punishment j
meiou on' e?SP\vnere to ortesu i
of his class who criminally assault
white women; he therefore <
has no idea of the certain death <
that awaits him in the event he ]
commits suoh crime. But it is
| in the power of the colored i
preachers to op ?n his eyes, to t
impress upon him the enormity <
and heiuousness of the offense I
of putting Ins vile hand" on a
white woman and t he inevi'able '
consequence lo him personally <
in case lie does so. i
Lynching lor rape is responsi- i
hie for lynching lor oilier crimes,
and there is every reason to he- I
lieve that when the commission i
of that awful offense aganst wo- I
manhood shall cease lynching tor '
any cause will become a thing ot 1
j the past. '
The action of Council in rela- 1
:ion to dogs will meet with gen
eral approval in the community.
The tact that a number of dogs
in town are known to have been
bitten by the mad dog that recently
bit Policeman Kiddle made
it necessary tor council to adopt
decisive measures for the protection
of the public. The pfople
can not alf >rd to take any chances
wit 11 mad dogs or dogs suspected
o! being affected with rabies. One
1 human li'o, especially tha' o'
I somebody's darling child, is ot in,
finitely more value than all the
' dogs in t he state. I is to b? hoped
| t hut all owners of dogs will heartly
cooperulo with Ihe authorities
[in ihe enforce meat ot the new
j ordinance, which is published in
today's News.

; Some oi the people in Iter house j

Barton was a nice voting man. i!
She agreed to accompany turn,
to an ice cream festival Mrs, j ^

Fine Cotton
VIr. L. C. Dnzcnbv's Expertment
with Deep Ploughing
and Heavy Fertilization.
Mr. L. C. Lazecby drove us
tlonday morning over to see his
otton patch near St. Paul's
diurch. a''d it was indeed a sight
veil worth seeing. Although the
otton has been topped, the stalks
iow average over five feet high
ind the limbs are so closely lap
;ied between the rows that the
ot presents the appearance of
laving been sown broadcast.?
L'he cotton was not. planted nnlil
ate?May 2t)lh, but every stalk
iPpears well developed and literillv
loaded with fruit.
The remarkably fintt growth is
lue namely to two lacts : thorough
preparation of soil before
planting and heavy fertil /, ition.
l'he ground was lirst well broken
up with a two-horse plow and
(hen harrowed. On the lot. which i
son I ai 113 IJ acres, 1200 pounds ot
the Kershaw fertilizer were applied
before planting, an I about
the firs* ol July S00 pounds more
of the same kind of fertilizer were
applied alongside the cotton,
making altogether one ton u-ed.
1'hat looks like heavy fertilizing
for this sec'ion, but the present
indications are that it will pay
handsomely. 1 lie only disad

are too close together, not being
much over four feet apart, when,
to accommodate such a rank |
weed, thoy should be six ioel ?^
But alter making liberal allowance
for the loss likely to ensue
from tho density of the g owth,
the yield will no doubt be at the
rate of two bales to the acre.
Mr. Lazenbv is so well pleased
with Ins ihis year's experiment
in deep plowing and heavy ma
nuring that lie will plant twenty
acres of cotton in the same way
next year.
