I 1 !l1 Mi We extend our sympathy to the ',r Camden newspapers.

A The press of South Carolina has ol had much to say of the reassuring pi attitude of our townsman, Col. tli Leroy Springs, in regard to the pro- in posed tariff reduction. The follow- nl ing paragraph from The Spartan- ai burg Herald of last Sunday shows how the loyalty of this prominent mill man is regarded by a thoughtful Journalist: "Col. I-eroy Springs, of Lancas- c< ter, is one of the big cotton manu- si facturers of South Carolina who is t( not disturbed by the prospect of tarlfT revision on cotton goods. Only patriots are loyal to the party when fl that loyalty touches the pocket." w V Lancaster Leads. ? I FIELD DAY. C< The importance of Field Day can 01 ardly be overestimated and we be- gI eve that the event can from year > year, be so improved upon as to w 11 ally become of so much interest w > all the people of the county that ley will hail its recurrence gladly nd enter into the spirit of the con- ^ ?sts. We wish to commend the jt ioneers of the movement in Lan- pi aster county who last year inau- ?' urated the custom here. Especial- ^ is praise due Professor Richards, cc le wide-awake superintendent of d< le Kershaw school, through whose (Torts that city secured the meet ^ lis year, and who planned and elped to carry out an excellent proram last Friday. With such in- . >rest and co-operation on the part f other patrons, teachers and pulis. Field Day may in time become garnering ?men win assemom an iose who wish to further the (><" luse of education. Several ideas iggested themselves to us during ( f le progress of the contests at Kerlaw and these we wish to state, bepving they will be well received, as cj ley are given in a spirit of genuine t terest in the matter. (j In the first place, we believe the j ?ntests should be restricted. Let be understood at the beginning of ie school year that only a few, and lose the most successful athletes id scholars, will he allowed to mpete. The teacher should enmrage a love of out door sports as 'lI ell as a love of books and should c cli iter heartily into the training of ie body as well as the mind of the in lild. When only the best may '' imnete for each nrize. a friendlv I!' valry, which is most helpful, will 1 1 >gin, and then not only will the ^ ;ercises be shorter and more inresting, but much more interest "f ill be aroused among the children ,,r jring the entire year. Second, we believe the declama- J*' ons and recitations should be sorted from the choicest literature in a' dor that the child at his most im- B essionable age may learn to ap- ai eeiate the very best from the w' orld's greatest writers and orators. Again, we think the age and per- ?r er inality should be taken into ac?unt and selection suitable to icli child should be given. Then, ^ o, there should be a choice of maro rial which has not become stale id trite from misuse. We must old the hackeneyed and over- "j. amatic as well as the very einoonal. f r Lets bring the Field Day back to mcaster, the county seat, next ,, ar. We bespeak for it the liberal : th itronage of our merchants and at her business men as well as our (*c tizens generally. It is really an out in which every man, woman 0f id child in the county should be Hi epiy interested. Let's begin early <1(! plan for next Field Day and make ^ an event never to be forgotten. th ? l'o I I'OKb MOM IMKNT CIVFN TO 1 >. A. K. Ol' SOI Til CAROLINA. Those of our citizens who are in- at rested in the history of the Amer- all in Revolution will be gratified to to irn from the coirmunication of t?? Young, published elselere, that the A. Ji P. Synod has rued over the Buford monument operty, 8 miles northeast of this to ue, to the Daughters or the Amer- st' a Revolution of South Carolina. is was done recently, upon the KU( imise of tlie state organization a'* it it would car?* for and improve f*'r i property. The bequest is highly lo preciated by the women of the i'e, who belong to this patriotic 1 iety and who know the signitiuce of the massacre of Colonel hu iford's men on tliis liistoric spot. iny historians have called that utal massacre the turning point *'r tlx- Revolution. Certain it is that I s,: e ruthlossness of "Bloody Tarle- 1J1 u," in showing no mercy to his s<" ptives, hut wontonly murdering P? < defenseless Americans whom he th id his soldiers had surrounded, ta lied upon all that was host and J" ddest in American manhood to 'a enge this fearful slaughter of ai elr brothers and roused their dis- r(J ..rtened spirits to renewed effort, l,( hich ended in the glorious freedom 01 the colonies from British oppres- K' on. Realizing, then, its importance in ie great struggle for liberty, we jpe that the Daughters of the 01 merican Revolution of South Carina will soon secure an approriation from Congress and mark '' ie battle ground with a monument ni keeping with the historical sig- w Iflcance of the massacre of Buford ad his men. Jt MOIUIAN'S FAITH. ft When J. I'ierpont Morgan, one of ?i 10 world's greatest and most sue- Ii ssful financiers, died a few days si nee there was one side of his life tl ? which few gave much thought, tl nd that was the religious side. The a uestions uppermost in most minds K as how much was he worth? P Vhat erect will his death have up- tl n the finances of the country? p *? mxarn -r~? - THE LANCASTER NE\ jntrary to expectations It turns it that the chief concern of the eat financier was his soul's salvaDn. He disposed of his vast ealtli by a will in the preamble of hlch he' used the following lanlage: "I commit my soul into the hands ' my Saviour, in full confidence iat having redeemed it and washed in His most precious blood He will esent it faultless before the throne my Heavenly Father; and I eneat my children to maintaiu and ifend, at all hazards, and at any >st of personal sacrifice, the blessed jctrine of the complete atonemenl ?r sin through the blood of Jesus brist, once offered and through iat alone." Mr. Morgan was a member and ficer in the Episcopal church, bul ? was not willing that the world lould know of this alone, bul jubtless felt that he could do th< liristian religion a signal service r leaving on record, to be publish1 after his death, an assurance ol s well-founded belief in the Rcacy of the blood of Christ tc ash away the sins of men. And )t only this, he enjoins upon his lildren to "defend at all hazards, any cost of personal sacrifice, this >ctrine." This posthumous decration of Mr. Morgan will rengthen the weak faith of many mortal, both rich and poor. llVRVIXCj THE HATCHET. We are glad that Champ Clark id William Jennings Bryan have lasped hands across the bloody tasm." Mr. Bryan says '.'my meetg with Mr. Clark has served tc ear up a misunderstanding as to y exact position towards him at e Baltimore convention. I have ied to make it clear to Mr. Clark at I have always regarded and do >w regard him as a good, clean, ogressive Democrat. If my lanlage at Baltimore created any im ession that I was charging Mr. ark with being in sympathy with ly of the reactionary forces I am ad of the opportunity to correct ly such misconstruction of my ords or acts, for 1 did not intend reflect upon either the personal political integrity of the SpeakTliis is a manly, frank, straightrward statement and shows that r. uryau nas uecome genuinely coneiled to the gentleman from issouri. Ilut Mr. Clark's sontients, as expressed by him smack the idea that he is willing to orgive hut not forget." Quoting om him: "It is beyond the power of Coliel Bryan or anyone else to correct e injustice that was done to me Baltimore. The loss of the presi ntial nomination was a small ing as compared to the injury me to my reputation in the eyes the world. But, now that Colonel rvan in his public statement has me what he can to remove the inrious impressions that were creatby his Baltimore speeches, I feel at we can all the better co-operate r the good of the administration, can only repeat what I have pub ly declared time and time again, at all personal or selfish considerion must give way to the duty that I Democrats owe to our party and our country."

We are glad to e that President Wilson is not disised to interfere with California in e matter. This country should ke a firm staiuf and impress upoi ipan that she must respect the w s of California passed in pursuice of her rights under the federal mstiiuiioji. it uiese laws are onixious to her citizens, they have lly to depart to some more con nial clime. WHY A IMCOTKCTIYK TAIUFF? The Baltimore Sun in an article 1 tiie protective tariff asks thi( arching question: "If American anufacturers can complete with nglishmen in Kngland and French ten in France and Italians in Italy hy cannot they compete with an) r them in this country?"

Heretofore i authorities at that institution w dismiss cadets for hazing and 1 rents and friends, through t 1 Congressmen and Senators, w ' prevail upon the secretary of 1 navy to reinstate them. Secre ! of the Navy Daniels has sent a : sonal letter to every midshipma Annapolis warning him that 1 after no leniency would be sh hazers who, in addition to b 1 dismissed, will receive the addil ' al penalty of imprisonment as 1 vided by law. The secretary ? ' ''You hazer Is essentially a t * and must necessarily have a sti of inate cruelty. The United St ' navy has no place for youths of kind."
