S C.. under Act of Congress of March 3, 18?U. _ ________?-???????? sa Wednesday, October 17,1906. te There are a number of boys tli in Lancaster who make it a prac w tice of loafing about the depots, rp] especially about ''train time," jn some of them occasionally jump v;j ing on and off moving trains.? |)e The parents of these lads are |0 doubtless not aware of the dang. ers fo which their sons are thus 0r exposel, not even suspecting that they are constantly hanging f() arouna the depots. We urge to upon fathers and mothers the importance of keeping their M children away from sucli public and dangerous places. Every now and then the daily papers cci contain accounts of boys being te killed or maimed by being run m over by cars at depots. ===== Tl Some days ago we directed at ec tention to the tact that other l) communities are raising money d? lor the relief ot the storm suffer- ta ers along the coast of the Gult of T] Mexico and urged that Lancaster la do likewise. We regret to note \V f 11 11 HA mnirotnonf " * 1 1,1 ..w uionuiivum urcu niiin- \v ed along the line suggested.? So far as we have been able to ci learn only one citizen has niadejS] a contribution, he generously I bt giving ten dollars. We do not know* at whp.? moment some tor- j rible calamitv may befall Lan- I caster, necessitating I he making ot 1 of an appeal for outside help.? jju Such appeal could tie made with jar much better grace and with A greater assurance of a liberal re-|ju spouse were we possessed of the! to consciousness of having ourselves go responded to the call of others J lie for help in time of need. It was | w only a few days ago tha'.Lanca^- Sc ter came dangerously near being fo visited by an awful catastrophe? te the explosion of a carload of dv- V namite within the town's limits, ar which was only prevented by an *? open switch the morning ot t lie i burning of those cars at the ^ Southern depot. It makes one shudder to contemplate what foi would have been the consojuen- sit ces had that immense quantity of'So dynamite exploded in this com is munitv. Certainly not a brick i wi building would have been left ha standing, many frame structures tic would have been wrecked, and lip doubtless hundreds of lives would ah have been lost. Let us remember j mi e sufferings of others lest, if for i other reason, the day may me when we ourselves will rely need the help of a gener- ^ s public. nglish Girls in Southern Mills?London Detectives now Making Investigation at Gastonia. e Charlotte, N.

That his high character as j a lawyer and a citizen, his va- d luable services as a legislator ^ and a patriot, {and his zealous i Bllorls and accomplishments in 1 both public and professional life, are in every way worthy of our j commendation and should starve ^ to inspire ns to an emulation of m the virtues which he so conspi cuously exemplified during his long and useful life. * 3.
