4 ?lir ^atunstat fflflwl (8EMI-WEEKLY.) Published Wednesdays and Saturdays j at Lancaster, S. by The Lancaster I Publishing Company. CHAN. T. CONN<Hts Editor A. J. CLAKK . .v .. Uusiness Manager Entered as se?-< md-class matter Oct. 7th, iwo.l. at the postoflU-o at Lancaster,S.C., under Act of Conjcresa of March 8. i879. NtMi Rinv.Jmlffi, i?o?. ~~~ Boston has appropriated $100,000 with which to fight flies. says tjie Augusta Chronicle. It would ^-^take twice that sum to keep the fljes 0(f Kock Hill and Chester, e A Texas editor boasts of having on exhibition a hen egg: which weighs four ounces. Nothing remarkable about that. Almost nnv olrl I.anniiater hen with a little practice, can lay an egg twice as large. Mr. Wilbur Wright says "you can easily learn to fly in two hours, if you are apt." Elberton Star. To which the naughty editor of the Augusta Chronicle adds: They say it is "easy to fly, but h ?1 to light." The Rock Hill Herald of Wednesday says it is reported that Col. Leroy Springs will build another large cotton mill at Lancaster. While Col. Springs has been thinking for some time of building another mill here, he has not decided to do so. neither has he formulated any plans looking to that end. A gentleman of undoubted veracity tells us that he knows a man who is s<> stingy that when he goes to his spring he dips water out of the branch below rather than from the spring itself. Our informant refuses to reveal the name or location of his stingy acquaintance, but we suspect that he is a resident of Chester county. The County Sunday School Convention, which will convene hereon the 14th instant, promises to he one of the most important and interesting gatherings of Christian workers within the history of Lancaster. It is confidently expected that every Sunday School in the county will he represented. The splendid program heretofore published in The News will he carried out, and arrangements are now being made for the entertainment of the delegates. "Watch Lancaster grow!" exclaims the I^ancaster News. Yes. but you had better get a magnifying glass or you will put your <?llt atl'Qininir 1 Imm tr. < yvi Mill! I I,S WIIV.III n; ^Ct (I jrlimpse of the jfrowth. Chester Lantern. Good suggestion. Lancaster's growth is so rapid and varied that it dofes strain one's eyes to watch her. kaleidoscopic and panoramic development. I The editor of the Winnsboro News and Herald says that he| has a railroad pass. Wonder if j our Rock Hill and Chester contemporaries are similarly favored. I If so. that's "one on us," for we j haven't seen a piece o*' the South-, ern's pasteboard in over three! years. As will he noted elsewhere in this issue, an automobile road is ' to be constructed from Atlanta North and it may pass this way. It would indeed be it m-pal thinor for Lancaster to l?e on such a !,rre. i>tit like all tilings worth while, we must go after it to get it. The route proposed which 4ah.?fS m Lancaster is by no means certain of adoption, and probably will not be if we. like other communities interested, do not get busy exploiting its ad. vantages. This is one of the most important propositions that has been presented to Lancaster in years and the only effective way of handling it is through some representative lw?dy of the town.. I'nfortunately. we have S* . \ ? no board of trade or similar organisation, but the matter can, and no doubt will, be taken up by the city council. We doubt if another county in the State is as 1 extensively engaged in load working as is Lancaster just now, and much of the road that would likely be used by this great auto line is in fine shape for macadamizing. Columbia, Spartanburg, Charleston and other little towns are bragging about their music festivals but just wait until Lancaster "pulls off" theirs.?Chester Lantern. Lancaster "don't have to" pull off such annual musical stunts, j Here we have a continuous per1 foi mance a grand and glorious I I 1? i ?i sharpened appetites will be a plenty. Editor Connors can now put it up to Editors Fooshe, Schwrar, Hull, Caldwell. or any other am-, bitious and contesting editor, who thinks his town and county is doiny biy thinys, to show us a hen eyy biyyer than the one referred to in the local columns of I the Era today, or a chicken with more leys. Kershaw Era. The local referred to by our | esteemed contemporary is as follows: The editor of the Era was given a hen eyy Monday which was h- larye as a yooso eyy. (t was laid by a hen belonyinir to Mrs. Parmelia (rhent, who lives <?n Mr. R. S. Floyd's plantation. The egg weighed I ounces. In connection herewith we mention also that Rev. J. H. Noland has a young chicken recently hatched out with four legs. What do you say, York. Chester and Fairfield got anything equal to these Lancaster county products? M it ii ii mi' nt do in/itfti-it. The Confederate monument to be erected here, the corner-stone of which was laid a few weeks ago. has been completed and will be shipped here Monday from the Southern (Jranite company's puarry at Stoneboro, where it was made. Dr. Strait, who was at the quarry this week, says the monument is a strikingly handsome one. I J \ , syiupnony irom one enn or me year to the other. If you don't I believe it, just pay a visit to j Paradise. | The Kershaw Era gives the following gentle hint to the Lancaster and Kershaw ice manu! factoring companies, which we | trust will be duly heeded: Editor Connors of the Lancas1 ter News thinks that, with an ice plant in Kershaw, the editor of the Era ought to be able to keep cool this summer. The presence of an ice plant will put us a ' little nearer the cooling agency all right, but it takes money to cut ice as well as to buy automobiles. and the editor is not in it unless the management will send 1 in an occasional sample, which we hope they will kindly do, both ; in his case at Lancaster and ours i here. But it may be that The 1 News editor wears money in his ! jeans. No. brother, the contents of our jeans pockets are practically limited to "backer" and a "bar: low." T<? our request of Bro. Fooshe, of the Winnsboro News and Herald. that he send us. express prepaid. some of those early vegetables he's been braggin' about, our esteemed contemporary makes the following reply: No, Brother Connors, we cannot send you any vegetables, exI press prepaid. The best we can S do is to come over on our pass and bring along with us the I vegetables and our esteemed i editorial con feres at Chester and Rock Hill so that they may have at least one day's view of Parajdise. Enjoying your bright scintillations and drinking Rives' mineral water will certainly make ! them feel that all you claim for Lancaster is the real thing. Be on the look out for this aggregaI tion soon. That's better, and far more ! than we dared hope for. But j say. when you come over, make those Chester and Rock Hill feli lows bring "well-filled baskets" also, for what Rives's mineral water will do to thoir nlroadv 'inpr \ 1 Hp I *Nr4?TCP f jjj Sra* and n] rx 4H using it has re HI ^dence that her m sweet, and perfectly whole!
