Hurrah for Smith !
Georgia's lloke now looks like
tinrty cents in comparison wun
our "Ed."
The time is almost at hand for
the straw hat to be relegated to
winter quarters.
Smith carried every county in
in the State except, two, Spartanburg
and Union. That's as near
practical unanimously as an election
ever gets to be.
Now that the elections are
over, let's all get together and
work for the upbuilding ot Lancaster.
Push Lancaster! as our
bright young Columbia correspondent
would say.
Concord, N. C., is going to
have cement sidewalks. When
finished, wonder if there will be

row 'em in muddy weather.
Everybody is of course glad
that the primaries are over, but
none more so than the telephone
and telegraph operators and
newspaper workers, on whom
the elections entail a great
amount of trying and laborious
extra work both night and day.
"Because ot his connection
with the old dispensary," is the
answer made by a prominent
tarmer when asked the reason ol
Evans's small vote for the United
States Senate. Maybe so, but
Smith's work lor the farmers for
the past lour years cut no small
figure in the result of the elee.

It is to the Charleston News
and Courier that Lancastrians
are indebted for the first reports
received here ot the election
news this week, which were
flashed over the wires to the i
writer and bulletined in the'
front window of The News oflice,
where they were eagerly read
by many hundreds of persons
during Wednesday, the day alter
the election. Had it not
been for The News and Courier's
messages there would have been
well-nigh a dearth of State'
election news in Lancaster Wed
iieeaav, so lar as tlie south Carolina
daily papers are concernel,
lor none of them reached
here until Thursday.
Too mucli can not be said in !
commendation of tlie plan that j
has been adopted by the Franklin
Circle to encourage and luster
the spirit ol civic improvement
in Lancaster and tc stimu- 1
late a generous rivalry among
the lair 3ex of both town and
county in the creation of dainty
pieces ol handiwork. We hope j
that there will be many, very (
many entries for all the prizes,
particularly for the prize ol ,
ii25 for the most marked front (
yard improvement, lor, of course, j
it is from the efforts t<> win this
prize that the most practical and
beneficial results are to ho expucted
from the standpoint o' |
the community as a whole. There
are now some very pretty yards
in Lancaster while there are
others not so attractive, hut all
of them can he greatly improved
in appearance. It should he
borne in mind that by entering
this contest one will not only
THE LAr
beautify his or her own premises,
and thereby add to the general
pleasing appearance of the towu,
but will also stand a chance of
being paid the haudsome sum
of $25 for doing so. Let everybody
get busy ou his front yard
next Tuesday, the day the contest
begins. And all honor to
the ladies of aesthetic taste and
public spirit of the Franklin Circle
for inaugurating a movement
destined to euhance the beauty
and attractiveness o! our home
surroundings and to further
develop the skill and Ingenuity
of the tair ones in fashioning
with deft fingers articles for table
decoration and ornamentation!
