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 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."
