We wonder if our farmers realize that a split log drag costs only $3. Instead of urging the legisla- : ture to help muzzle the press, that body should be petitioned to give newspapers more liber- \ ty than they already have. i Compulsory education has for 1 its object the education of the I masses. It is plain why some i so-called statesmen oppose the I measure. It means their com- \ plete undoing. t t A great deal has been said j about newspapers saying too v much about people and things, i The truth is that there are too f few of them which have backbone to sa> half enough. r The live towns of the state ' which were advertised at the corn exposition were towns having chambers of commerce, inrleeri the n<lvevti?iitirr wao vnol t *V?." i ly the work of these progressive p organizations. a t The trouble with Winthrop's {1 president, a good man, is that j-, he confided too much in the ^ wrong man. He should have ^ remembered the fate of old dog p Trag, who got into trouble by q keeping bad company. t Don't forget the suggestion ' recently made that we have a v county fair in Lancaster. It will * be a great thing for both town ' and county. Who will take the lead in this work and call a meeting to organize a county .fair association? ^ The Florence Times says J there was one newspaper man 11 in the list of those who opposed s compulsory education in the *s l, *u l -: 11 1 . I IIUUM!. \ UllHUl t tilt' (Mil I)t* f amended yet to include him 1 among those to be benefited by 1 the measure? L 1 Minority Leader Mann of the t lower house of Congress char- ' acterizes the Democrats as a I "disorganized mob." Looks like 1 they were pretty well organized to rout the Bull Moosers and 1 knock the stuffin* out of Hon. ' Mann's C?. O. P. crowd. The Columbia Record and The Anderson Mail are engaged in ridiculing each other over the representation of their respective counties in the legislature. Barring one or two exceptions on each side, we think u is a case 01 tne pot caning tne kettle black. Mr. Frances Warrington Dowson, son of the late Capt. F. VV. Dawson, the brilliant editor of The News and Courier, who resides in Paris, is now in Charleston, his native city, delivering some interesting lectures on matters of interest concerning life abroad. The senate has adopted the report of the judiciary committee which recommended that so much of the governor's message which referred to the press of the state and Senator Tillman, and all of Tillman's reply thereto, be not printed in the Journal. This was the right I thing to do. 1 A THE 3 PUBLIC SENTIMENT. (iOOB Judge Ernest Gary, in a resent charge to the grand jury The it Sumter, made some remarks, mittee urging the jurors "to work for which a public sentiment in favor of of Coi capturing and bringing crimi- appro] nals to justice and meting out new punishment to them as they de- We n< serve." Further, he urged "the safe, creation of a public sentiment but tt in favor of punishment of crim- We hi inals and wrong doers, saying a new ii- i ---- 11- 1-1: - ? ? A : ? ? i ...uu trial Willi puuilt: ^iMimmriiL wiui tut; ^ the courts and juries, crime people could be eradicated." able i Judge Gary is right. Public man, sentiment is at the root of the est in reign of lawlessness in South priati* Carolina, for it is unmistakably congr; on the side of crime. The law, and judges, juries, peace officers also r ;ind all the machinery for the new p administration of justice can accomplish nothing unless there It i is a "public sentiment" behind 's 1110 [hem which believes in vindi- *n the mating the laws that are broken, caster We have a "public sentiment," dispen t is true, but it is of a diseased town 1 rind, which has been created i" nec >y a lawless class.

The greatest mys- knew ery has been solved, the writer exonei leclares, and Shakespeare is But w< out of the running." ?f *V have I The great arguments of oppo-, the ea lents of prohibition before the ernor, Vebb bill was passed was that i had tl rou cannot enforce prohibition no ma is long as liquor is sent into the too dc tate by express and that in- fectioi tead of sending money abroad Caroli or liquor, it is better to spend by th t at home. Now as that argu-1 even 1 nent has been knocked into a :ocked hat they have com- 's 1 nenced singing a new song to ' l)<0ph he effect that the new law will lor lot do much good because peo- Jfoveri ile will have liquor even if they *ers? 1 nave to make it themselves. ( on#r rhe wish is father to the {H s*-a* thought when these and other (l1 specious arguments are used ^'hat in favor of whiskey. The most 'lons effective way to down prohibi- ,le in tion is not to put obstacles in j'ei the way of its enforcement, but { jn to give it a fair trial and then, if it fails to bring about the de- , jnimj, sired results, it will fall down jjteri of its own accord. But oppo- n,l^j()] sition to liquor will never down as long as there are God-fearing n..l(|v men and women in the land to j p(M)J)| fight it. The cause may receive j a backset at times and politi-' v^o' cians may ride in and out of , , , insou office on it. but it will surely be im(je] a potent force for good as long as the world lasts. Mr Haiti John Ashley doesn t want Jor contraband whiskey poured out ^ after it is seized and has intro- wor]{ duced a bill providing for it to th(i <. be turned over to hospitals and fac^u almshouses. We thought that . ' ^ Josh had too much of the milk , of human kindness in his composition to want to force such vile stuff down the throats of \V1 the unfortunate inmates of fashi these institutions. No Josh, let the a the officers continue to pour it whip out upon the ground. beha LANCASTER NEW S, * NEWS FOR LANCAS- " TER. bill reported by the com on public buildings, otpassed the lower house on igress Monday, carries an sii priation of $50,000 for a hi postoffice in Lancaster.
