Hyatt Park, Columbia, Sept. i
5.?Another summer nearly ^
gone, afiolher autumn approach- (
ing. "Time and tide wait on
no man," but do not many men 1
wait on time aud tide? Ere The 1
Lancaster News is once more in 4
the hands ot its many readers 4
the city schools of old Lancaster '
will again have thrown its doors
open to the children of Lancaster 1
and vicinity. My! we'll miss the ^
ringing of "the bell that hangs
in the tree." We will miss see- ^
ing our lriends, tor school is a *
reunion of children and teachers '
and there is a social leature as '
well as a "teachin' and larnin'
feature." vVe are sorry not to ]
be in the school again, and we 1
wish the schools ol the grand old 1
city, Lancaster, much prosperity 1
?and here's a suggestion now 1
"lest we forget." Why not have ]
an alumni and aiumnae meeting
next commencement. Let all 1
members whether graduates or (
"quiliiates" get together and or- 1
ganize. If deemed best we may '
get together Christmas or at
some time before eommeueement '
and then we can be ready for '
work commencement to have a 1
programme. Ot course there 1
will he some defects but it's (
worth investigating. Let's hear *
from trustees, teachers and alum- (
ni and, of course, from the fair (
alumnae. (
By the time The News is out
again the second bout will be J
over and the candidates will be
rejoicing or mourning. We'll '
wait patiently till that time but
here's hoping that it will not be
so sail as the first primary was,
that Jupiter Pluyius, Esq., will
not weep so bitterly.
The Columbia theatre season
opens Tuesday, although there
was a play there on the 25th o!
August. VVo may he wrong in
our judgment, but there are
many good, clean <kshows" put
on in this theatre < v<ry season
in our opinion. However, there
s ems to be some complaint on
the bill for I'ue&dav night. It's
a play, "A' the Fr neh Hull."

of this fact and because it is at- ^

actors and ac'rosess and by the ^
newspapers, it is thought that v
many people will go to see it.
But we won't, so don't worry.
It is said to be vulgar, etc. It's *
a safe bet that though it's "elec- 1

"bald-headed sinners" there *
Tuesday night.
"Lancaster Boy" lives on the
main thoroughfare out of Columbia
"The street car runs
right, by our door" in the words
of the song,and you bet we don't ,J*
mind that. We see all kinds ol ?
sights from an imitation of the 1
Rock Hill "'ox cart to a "White '
Steamer Tourinjr Car" which j
doesn't cost but 42,000 "bucks." *

mobiliats "start right," going out c
for a pleasure trip. And/in the r
mornings we can see people (
"going to town" in wagons, et
cetera. But to "got to the milk 11
of the cocanut" here's a tip we c
4 got this afternoon. On Monday t
Labor Day will be observed and 1
on that afternoon there will he 1
seme automobile races. They s
"
\
THE LAI
are not allowed to "run fast
much" in the city for there's a
speed unit. So they come out
here where they have fine roade
to practice. It is really annoyigj^to
(ftlizepfc of ftau^dlair*, oi
whichjtfyatt .park is a part. So
jroufc scribe ugOt a tip" this afternoon
.that,,the town council of i
Eau Olaire are going to fix a
speed limit, for it fp not only on i
ipecial occasions thai they "run
lome" but always. And if you, ]
my of our fellow-readers, want
to know about the ''fuss" a racing
car makes, ask Col. Willie
Bdward Tlyler, the bright young
ion of Capt. W. B. Plyler, or ]
'Judge" Ira B. Jones, Jr., or
iny of the Lancastrians who saw ^
,he races last Fair. ' So yhen
'Lancaster Boy" gets his next
'Lancaster News" they will come .
'jest a lettle bit slower?maybe.
As btated above, Labor Day (
will be observed Monday. There |
will be a parade down town. (
They will come up to Hyatt
Park and have some speaking
ind field day exercises and so
iorth and then there will be
'them races" already reterred to.
What about that Bryan contribution?

into the cigar boxes will be o. k.,
but why not send a contribution
like the rest of the citie9 aud
owns of South Caroliua. "Get
in the game." Lancaster through
'The News" (or anybody) $25
would be all right but why not
iouble that amount or why not
make it even $100. so that it can
be given special mention?
