The News and Courier thinks the "Turkey Trot is sufficient reason for driving Turkey out of Europe." The patriotism of the small boy will likely suffer because of the fact that Washington's birthday falls on Saturday this year. Gaynor and Castro doubtless enjoyed their heart-to-heart talk, which afforded a splendid opportunity for confiding their troubles into each other's svm pathetic ear. The progressive little town of Greer has voted bonds in the sum of $65,000 in order that her citizens may have water, lights and sewerage. You can't keep a good place down. Why is it that our farmers will buy such indespensable things as com, . hay and oats when there is no better soil adapted for them than that of this Piedmont region. One objection to woman sufferage is that if some devilish fellow would turn loose a rat every now and then in the polling booth, you couldn't induce a woman to come within a hundred yards of the ballot box. Why is it that the majority of the people appear so indifferent to road improvement? There is certainly not a county in South Carolina whcih does not need better roads. Speaking for ourselves, we can think of nothing so necessary in Lancaster county as good roads. Now that the income tax amendment has been adopted and the narcel post is in force, the Democratic administration can mate, .ally reduce the Republican robber tariff on the necessaries of life and still leave the government revenue ample for all purposes. We wonder what those citizens of South Carolina, who lost money in the Seminole Se curity Company fraud, think of! the pardon by the governor of John Y. Garlington, president of the concern? It looks like grafting by dispensary officials and Seminole officials is not much of an offence anyhow. Over half of the forty days, for which period the constitution allows pay to the members of the general assembly, has already passed, and to use a trite expression, "nothing doing." But when the 40 days have expired, whether anything has been done or not, you won't find the members remaining in Columbia at their own expense. In commenting on Tennessee placing the statute of Andrew Jackson, her adopted son, in Statuary Hall, The Charlotte Observer says, "If the sculptured workers are to represent native states, however, Old Hickory should stand in North Carolina's yet empty niche." North Carolina' has too many native sons of eminence, such as Vance and Aycock, without coming across the line to claim "Old Hickory," who everybody, but long-haired men and shorthaired women know was borr in Lancaster county, South Carolina. i GEORGE S. LEGARE. George S. Legare, the Coi gressman of the first congre sional district, who died la; Thursday, was a man of ui usual parts, judging from h public record of ten successh years in Congress and the tril utes paid his memory by all < the Charleston papers, whei he lived. Among other thing The News and Courier has th to say of him: "To him public office mear opportunity for service, and t scorned to win office except ui aer tne colors which ne expec ed to fly always while holdin it. No man ever had any difl cutly finding out where he stoo on any public proposition, an he was seemingly wholly indi: ferent as to the popularity c unpopularity of his politics views." In these days of office-seel ing and office-holding, by pane ering to whatever seems to b popular, it is refreshing to rea of a man like Mr. Legare. 0 account of his bad health, h did not occupy his seat muc during the present Congress but he was so much liked b all who knew him that, thoug absent, he accomplished mor than many men of either part who were in their seats and i good health. His brother Cor gressmen did not let the intei ests of his district suffer. H had been re-elected in the re cent election for another fu term. WAR IN ROCK HILL. Can't Charlie Spencer air John Roddey, mayor of Roc! Hill and Dresident of the rh?m II. Hand to The State, repr duced in this issue, in refe i enee to contracts betwe< ; teachers and school trustee i Professor Hand aptly sa: , "Schools ought to be run on business basis." Many of thei i unfortunately are not, hen i their failure to give satisfacti< in many communities. i i ber of commerce, respectively constitute themselves as board of peace commissioner to negotiate terms of peace be tween The Record and Th Herald, the two warring new? papers of that city? We wer under the impression that Roc! Hill was a "Good Town" an that everything in it, including the newspapers, had but on aim and purpose, viz: th boosting of Rock Hill. But lc and behold the two leaders o public sentiment in that com munity are grappling, so t l speak, at each other's throat? Peace, contemporaries, peace at any cost! If the commia sioners suggested fail to ter minate hostilities, we will thei be prepared to recommend a arbitrators The Yorkville En quirer and The Fort Mill Time? Dotn or trie White nose county PLAN FOR A COUNTY FAIR The Fifth National Corn Ex position, which has been held a our state capital, closes tonigh at 12 o'clock. The people o this county, who have visitei the show express themselve; | as highly delighted with wha ! they saw and are impresse< ' with the fact that South Caro lina and particularly Lancaste county, is one of the best farm ng sections in the country. W hope the suggestion in our las issue of Mr. S. E. Bailes, wh 1 by the way is a distinguishe graduate of the agricultural dt partment of Clemson Collegi will lead to the organization, a an early date, of a county fai for Lancaster county. Bot farmers and business men wh have gathered inspiration froi the stupendous national ever in Columbia should make u their minds to hold an annu; fair in this county, at whic prizes will be awarded for tl best farm products. We call especial attention 1 the romrminiration of Prof. V THE LANCASTER NEWS WHY NOT BRYAN? n_ The News and Couriei s_ Charleston Post, and possibl: st other dailies in the state, seen to have had their bile stirre< is up over the prospect of Air /e Bryan being: appointed Secre b- tary of State by President elect Wilson. Why not Mr re Bryan? Was he not the lead s> ing spirit in the Baltimore con js vention and the idol of th< Democratic party today? Doei ^ not Mr. Wilson owe his nomina ie tion by the national Democrats i- convention to Mr. Bryan? W< t- would have thought less of Mr ? Wilson if he should not have of l(j fered the premiership to him d And when offered to him, whj f- should he not accept? If th< ^ policies advocated by both Mr 1 Wilson and Mr. Bryan are nol c carried out, the country wil either lapse back into the handf of the Republican party or wil ^ go skyrocketing into the hands of the Bull Moose party. 11 e seems to us instead of th< ^ newspapers poking fun at Mr 3 Bryan, they should do so at the ' President-elect who stands or ^ the same platform with him but of course, they will not dc y this' n THE PRESIDENT'S JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS. President Taft has appointee e more judges than any other President, his record being 6E ^ out of 146 federal judges and five out of nine judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. His administration is d remarkable, not only for this ^ unusual number of appointl" ments, but for the ability of the r? men chosen to preside over a these courts. He made a care3 ful selection, because he realized the importance of the judie ( cial branch of the government l", and wanted the best men tc ^ Mold othce in it. The President ^ was not partisian in his choice c* of these judges, but exercised K such care in the selection ot e able and upright men, that the c whole country has given him )? the plaudit, "Well done!" f i- By vote of the legislature ot 0 Wyoming, the income tax 5. amendment has received the approval of three-fourth of the states of the Union. The - amendment which has now been n ratified by thirty-six of the s forty-eight states, gives Con gress the right to enact legislation fixing a direct tax on in . comes. The constitution of the United States has not been :. amended since 1870, when the _ fifteenth amendment, giving 1 negroes the right to vote, was I adopted. f ; ? A man who has the interest of the farmer at heart has * given him this sage advice: j "Cultivate the ground in the spring and summer, gather the crops in the fall. In wintei , cultivate the man who cultii vates the ground." e | The stocks of the four lead? ing express companies of th( United States are said to shou a combined decrease of $7,750, 000 ince the parcel post begar ^ business on January the first. ir h 10 FROM OTHER PAPERS T1 it Everybody works but th< ip legislature.
