Editor Higham, of the Chester
Lantern, though a dignified, devout
psalm singer, has a streak
of innocent humor in him as long!
as Magistrate Caskey's spinal :

remarks about hell and peek-aboo
waists, Eve and her bathing j
suit, etc., under the head of
"Fashion Notes."
The Chester Reporter, one of
our most valued exchanges, lias
not paid a visit to this office
lately. What's the matter ? Is
it possible that Bro. Bigham, of
the Lantern, is iaid up for repairs,
on account of too intimate acquaintance
with those "respectable
looking'" apples somebody
sent him, and that his local contemporary
has had to take a few
davs cff to sit up with him ?
Now that crops have been "laid
by" and labor, in consequence, i>
plentiful, we renew our suggestion
to Council to increase the
street working f >rce. There is a
lot of work that ought to be (lone
before the (all and winter rains
set in, both on sidewalks and
streets. Why not start up the
street plow and the rock crusher?
There are numerous holes in the
streets that should be filled, and

Even the sidewalks that were

HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION. AGAIN. !
Col. A. R. Banks, superintendent
of Lancaster's graded schools,
who, as previously noted in The
News, is spending a tew weeks
in Columbia, where he is engaged
in writing an educational history
of South Carolina, writes the editor
as follows in relation to the
proposed high school in Lancas
ler :
"Prof. Hand, of University of
South Carolina, has written to
you in reference to the High
School. From what he says, a
high school can be secured at i
Lancaster without a cent of ex-i
Jtra levy. The only requirement,
he says, is to havo one or more
adjacent school district, or one
or more townships by vote express
a willingness to coopera'ej
with theLaucaster Graded School
District in this matter. If thi--1
is true, and it must b> true, or
Prof. Hand, who has given the
Act a careful study, would not j
make the statement, there seems
nothing in the way oi having a
State High School at Laucaster.
Should one be established, the1
State High School Hoard would I
annronriate from $700 to $800.
I a sum sullicient to employ a good
! teacher and equip a Business or :
Industrial Department. It will ,
be well, at least, to investigate
the matter."
We sincerely hope that the
matter will be taken up tit once
by our people. It it is possible for
us to enlarge the graded school's 1
present high school department j
without any additional cost wh itover,
we would be standing in
our own light not to do so. li
would also be a great thing for {
Lancaster to have a business and !
industrial de* irtment. in the
school. It appears that the State
stands ready to furnish the necessary
money lor these additional |
advantages. Shall we take what
is offered us ?
THE HON. GEO. W BROWN.
The many friends in Lancaster,
where ho was born and reared,
will be pleased to learn that Col.
Geo. W. Brown, ol Darlington,'
will be a candidate for Congress !
in bis district next ye ir. A man
of high sense of honor, a ripe
lawyer and patriotic citizen, an j
experienced parliamentarian, ele- '
quent and loreeiul speaker, and
with a proper appreciation ?f '.he
needs of the country, Col. Bfowii
would make an ideal representative
ol the people in the halls of
Congress.
Referring to Col. Brown's prospective
candidacy for Congress,
the Darlington correspondent of
the Charleston News and Courier
says:
' Of course, many changes m ?y
fake place in the next twelve
months and the minds of men
may change, but at the present

Mrs. A. G. Brice has sent The

to see how much fruit is in
