Lancaster was about as dry Saturday and Sunday as we have ever seen it, there being nothing doing in the liquor traffic. Another trouble ahead for the men, for which we feel it our duty to prepare them. The season of the Easter bonnet is almost upon us. The Californian who swore he would not shave till Bryan was elected, has been considerably 1 inconvenienced, doubtless, but so far has kept his word. We learn, however, that he compromised by having his whiskers cut the other day. The fact that anti-suffragists have joined with their sisters who want "votes for women" in denouncing the treatment of the latter in Washington bust week, is proof against the idea, so often aspoused, that women cannot treat their sisters fairly when there is heated debate or feeling among them. The Grover Cleveland Birthplace Memorial Association has l ? 1, A A U ? ?IJ PI 1 1 | I UUUgllL llie UU1 V/USVelclIIU IlOIIiestead at Caldwell, N. -J., and the townspeople have contributed land adjoining it as a site for 1 the Grover Cleveland memorial library, for which funds have ' been promised by Andrew Carnegie. A new man is to be reckoned with in the politics of South ' Carolina and he is John G. ' Clinkscales, professor of mathe- : matics in Wofford College. He 1 will run for governor of South : Carolina and his platform will not be how whiskey shall be 1 sold, but that the masses of the1' people shall be educated. We wonder if this college professor!1 will be received by the people as ( Woodrow Wilson was. Americans admire a man of i j the Sir Thomas Lipton type. J who has come with another< challenge for a yacht race. He was a game loser but has served notice that we are not to keep the America's cup without another light for it. We take : off our hat to Sir Thomas. j Americans cannot fail to appreciate the knightly spirit of the man, who is never willing to give up as long as there seems j to be a fighting chance of success for another Shamrock We consider The Newberry | Observer slightly hypercritical ( when it seeks to amend the following editorial statement ap-; pearing in Tuesday's issue of j The News: "Notwithstanding the fact that Texas is the largest state in the Union, Mr. Burleson will be the first Texan to hold a cabinet position." The Observer reminds us that John It. Reagan held a similar position, that of attorney general, in the cabinet of the Southern Confederacy. Our statement had distinct reference to the "Union," as our contemporary will se from above quotation, for wl < h "The Lancaster News," not "The Lancaster Ledger," is responsible. The Ledger, contemporary, was 1 discontinued some seven years | ago. | 1 "CLEAN-UP DAY" SATUR- 1 DAY. c There is a most praiseworthy \ undertaking on foot this week, i begun by a woman's club, which t should meet with the hearty co-operation of all our citizens. I The West End Neighborhood s Club, organized primarily for J civic improvement, has begun t its spring work by giving at- \ tention to a very important t phase of the question. Aware t of the mildness of the winter c just past, these thoughtful wo- i men are fearful of results if the c matter of proper sanitation is 1 disregarded. They feel that spring cleaning should be start- 1 ed earlier this year than formerly, in order that disease germs may be successfully combatted. * This club has therefore set * apart a day which each mem- * ber will devote to cleaning up v her own premises. This they c are planning to do thoroughly. a Front and back yards will be r carefully looked after and even the sidewalks in front of the houses will be swept and clean- . ed. And what these women plan to do. they ask that every woman in Lancaster do also. The work will not fall heavily on any one worker, but the improved appearance of her surroundings and the feeling of satisfaction that she has done everything in her power to pre- t vent "disease from dirt," should ^ be sufficient reward for what- v ever labor and time is given to '] the work. The club has set o apart next Saturday. March 15, . as "Clean-up Day," and its pros- j, ident asks us to urge the women of other neighborhoods to \ join in the work and to request c that the town authorities put the "street hands" to work on all back lots, and later on send a wagon round to collect tin 1 cans and other rubbish which r has been gathered up. This is a task in which each ^ one of us may help. There is plenty of work for every mem- a ber of every family in Lancas- ^ ter to do his share. In many ^ communities there is a "City (1 Beautiful" league but before n working for a "city beautiful" ^ let us first strive for a city clean, a city healthful, a city sanitary. If proper considera- y tion is given to civic work, in i\n almost incredible time we will hardly be able to recognize , the place in which we live. Let >ach of us go to work Saturday, y Begin that day, even if you have f, to finish later. What one band >f women has begun, others can ' likewise take up and with all ! hands at it, the task will be light find the result will be a cleaner,; .\ better town. VANDALISM AT GETTYSBURG. Such an act of vandalism as that perpetrated at Gettysburg v last week is so shocking in its n significance that the mind at first refuses to give credence to ^ it. But the fact remains that i, violence was done to a number j of handsome monuments to the Y nation's dead. Of course a searching inves- * tigation is being made and every effort is being put forth I to apprehend this ruthless de- _ spoiler of property. It is hoped that these monuments can be restored. They will not be allowed to remain thus at any rate, marred and pitiful appeals 1 to the irreverence and fury of f some mind bent on fiendish mis- ; chief. That this great battle-1< field should have been selected , as the scene of such an act of j ( nexecraiion, inai monuments on this hard fought field where the flower of both armies was sac- ( Motliors Can Safely iluj Dr King's New Discovery anil give j It to the little ones when ailing and suffering with colds, coughs, thro.it I or lung troubles, tastes nice, harmless, once used, always used.

THE LANCASTER NEWS ificed for the causes each held I leal*, should have been so s vantonly defaced, is an outrage \ot to be overlooked by even f he most careless or indifferent, j Such vandalism has never ( >een wrought on so large a c >cale since the War Between the r states, which makes it apparent ^ hat a feeling of sectionalism ? vas not the spirit animating t he dastard in his deed at Get- o ysburg. Whatever the cause * >f such a mad act we feel that (j t reflects discredit upon the :ountry as a whole and sincerey hope that nothing like it will ;ver happen again in this civi- r ized land. 5 d A new issue has come before _ he people of South Carolina. ? t is compulsory education. ror the past twenty years it vas the liquor question and up>n this issue men were elected ind defeated. $ - 1 COUNTY NEWS 1 * V HEATH SPRINGS.
