CAN'T BLAME IT ON "LANCASTER"
The esteemed llerald ot Rock
Hill republished The News'
grateful acknowledgement of the
receipt of & picture recently sent
us by a prominent citizen of that
city of "Rock Hill's Electric
Railway," and then proceeded
to saddle on "Lancaster" responsibility
tor the antique "systern's"
lack of success. In its
extended comment the Herald
said:
In Rock Hill there is a street
named "Lanca^er" avenue and
it is from this thoroughfare that
the wonderful car line starts.
We believe the name waB a Jo
nah to the car line, notwithstanding
the fact that some of the
most prominent citizens live on
it. Everything that wo have
ever heard of has a beginning
and there is a great deal in the
start, so who could expect the
Rock Hill Electric Railway to
be a success starting on Laticas
ter avenue. Is the name Lancaster
enough to Jonah the
whole system, including the
mulea and the driver?
No; Lancaster is a name that
conjures, and instead of being
Rock Hill's Jonah, it is the city's
guiding star and mascot. Why,
it Rock Hill were to cut out
every distinctive "Lancaster"
feature about it, there wouldn't
be much left?except, of course,
the mud holes. Even the bright
young editor ot the Herald, who
comes of good otdLancaster stock,
would have to skiddoo. Yes,
Rock Hill without its "Lanr.aa
ler" would be like the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
When we pet in a hurry we
are going to try to borrow the
Lancaster News' linotype.?Ches
ter Lantern.
There must be a joke concealed
somewhere mi the toregouig,
but, owing to the density ot our
grey matter, we have been unable
to discover it. If The News
is ever so fortunate as to own a
linotype, we shall take pleasure
in lending it to our esteemed
contemporary when it *'t:e!s in a
