A Lanca-ter auto has its owner so well tunned that it makes him gat out and push it up hill. . ," -1 The editor of the Anderson Alail wants to swap a lawn mower for a "nice hat." If lie is not afflicted with the swell head" since his E iropean tr p, he can no doi.ht get * Waring sombrero and at the same time keep his o'd cr'ss cutter, provided he promises to support the c >n<li dft'e of the editor of the Charleston Post for the ''uited States Ben ?te. The cotton speculator is both bo'd and defiant. When the far uirrs A IIAI*U <1 iiiwi'mum i?ri?*e lor cotton ho promptly knocked the price ot the Ptaple clown some two or three cents. On Thursday, the day after the International Cotton Congress adjourned, his (The I'al ian hand was again in evidence, the price ot c>tton dropping a halt cent. If the plans of the growers' and spinners' conference are successfully carried out, it is only a question of time when the speculator will become a thing of the past. 1 THE LAM _? 1 Men have gotten so that they are willing to marry any old thing. It was published in -the papers the other day that a man had married hiB mother-in-jiaw Now comes the report that one Tom y. Allison, o( New York State, has wedded his grandmother.

Such is ilie irony of fate.?Oolum1 ia Record. Yes, and *in the same city thcismds are spent daily on 11a ty little pet dogs. The voteis ol tlie I^a? castor, Oraigsville and St. Luke school districts are reminded of the fact that an election will be he'd in each district today to determine whether a hp*h school under the State law shal' be established iu Lancaster. As s'atod in the < iUcial notice elsewhere, tlie elections will be held a' the ''respect ive school houses," and will be conducted by the respec tive boards ot trustees 1 lie notice referred to also states who are qualified to vote. The advantages of the proposed high school to the three dist:icts uniting in this election, ami particularly to the Lancaster district, have or? room ? - ? " ""v" been ^et forili lo these columns V, t , that it is unnecessary to dwell on them now. The tact that the school can be obtained without a , cent ol cost to either district ought of it-elf to be a sufficient reason for voting lor its establishment. A MAGISTRATE'S RECORD FOR FINES COLLECTED -EVIL PRACTICES Magistrate W. 1'. C'skey has turned over to the coun'y tre*.!-nrer tines and costs collected bv him for the past quarter am* unt ing to $410.45, making $890 thus far paid over by him tins yearf and there are yet three more months to go on. Mr Caakey'a total collect tons srt tar pays lis and his const ?ble's salary and leaves a balance ol $1^5.45 to his credit in the county treas ury.

There is evidently too much of that kind ot business g ?ing on. It a party is isuil'y ol any crime he should bo tried, convicted and punished | ?not allowed f >r a in re money I consideration to escape justice. The interests ol society demand t o due punishment of all viola torH of the laws of the land. There i9 another pernicious practice which shouM he 9top I ped, and that is the institution of Home kind of criminal pro feedings for no other purpose [than to force the party charged to pay a civil ob'igation. This practice is at best Lut an ill-d s guised evasion of bath the letter and the spirit of the law against punishment by imprisonment and fine for the non pay m?nt of debt. 3 ASTER NEWS, OCTOBER 12/ If ?t be true,an was contended by Calhoun, Hampton and others, that cotton can not be successfully produced in countries without frost, the English . ho are preparing to expend ten million dollars in the cultivation of co'-o ton in Africa, to compete with the American produc\ will waste a bikt lot of money in a fruitless venture.
