Senator Tillman admits that he ,
made as much as $2 5,000 a year on !

to Mr. Bryan doing what he did. But

Governor Blease says "Senator t )
Tillman ruined himself with the poopie
of South Carolina when he went (lj
about lecturing instead of remaining
in Washington and attending to the
business of the senate." The sena- '
pe
tors says he never "left Washington of
while the senate was in session exce
ceeding a half dozen times to deliver
lectures." Yet the poor old fellow

doing only what he admits he did
himself. So we are glad Governor ^ir
Blease is blistering Tillman. He or
can't pile it on too heavy. ne
mi
And poor old Senator Tillman, who "ll
went all over the country making
sensational speeches for pay, is out
In a criticism ^>f Mr. Bryan for deJivering
lectures. He is quoted as ne
stylng, "While his speaking tours '-a
will serve a good purpose in that ho .su
always preaches true democracy and 11,1
patriotism and Christian living, he so
can never again appear as a knight- ( va
errant of democracy." The senator to
also says, "The impression prevails, an
though I don't know how well in
founded it is. that Mr. Bryan has 8U
made a great deal of money since m
1896." Indeed, and the same im- co
pression prevails that the once w
mighty Ben Tillman has done like- Pl
wise since he entered public life. c0

SHE WILL BE MISSED. h<
There passed hence this week a ol
noble woman, rich In good works and sc
known throughout the state for her 1 d(
loyalty to a cause which though lost 01
will always be dear to the people of ol
the South. Mrs. August Kohn loved c<
this cause devotedly. She was for le
two terms president of the United cl
Daughters of the Confederacy of |
South Carolina and had been honored o
by papolntments In the general con-(o
ventlon. She will be missed In the Ir
social life and civic work of Colum- e
bla, for'she had been actively iden- p
tilled with all of its best Interests, a
Mrs. Kohn was a woman of unusual J<
charm. She was cultured, tactful I.
and of fine executive ability. She b
will be missed by the members of the i<
State Press Association, having at- h
tended its meetings for many years II
and endeared herself to its mem- t
bers. The state is poorer for her s
passing but richer far for her having ii
lived and labored among us. ti
TIME TO DO SOMETHING.
We are glad that at last the i'reslut
of the United States Is about to
te some action in reference to
i disgraceful butcheries going on
Mexico. Citizens of the United
ites have been killed and millions
dollars worth of property destroyThe'
desperadoes have eveu
>ssed over to the American border
ii killed citizens of this country.
il notwithstanding all, the governnt
of the United States has stood
y by and done nothing. The peoi
of other countries reside in Mexand
have property there and yet
dor our Monroe doctrine we will
t permit other nations to luterle,
claiming our exclusive right to
so. Now the other powers are
ling on the United States to take
tie action. So it is now squarely
to us to do something.
> intervened between Spain and
ba and took the latter coununder
our protection for
i federation far less weighty
.n those demanding our intervenn
in Mexico. We have got to do
sooner or later. Mexico has long
?n a menace to this country. Her
olutions are periodical and unless

James G. Blaine, one of the
ilniest men this country ever proced,
advocated the annexation of

it President Wilson will ta^ a deed
step in the matter at once,
er he has conferred with our miner

SPEAK OX, MR. BR VAX.
Mr. Bryan has been criticised and
gged at ever since he entered publife,
ard mainly because he does
t hesitate to give the people good,
lolesome advice at all times
matters moral, religious and
Kr? it is not snrnrisinv nnw
Eit a hue and cry is being raised
cause he chooses to spend his leise
hours in lecturing to the people
the country- In other administra>ns,
the cabinet officers, even the
esidents have taken jaunts across
e country and some of the cabinet
ic.ers even went out of the country
d nothing has been said about it.
esident Wilson recently spent a
>ek at his summer home in New
impshire and not a single voice
is raised against it. Rut Decause
r. Bryan chooses to combine busiss
with pleasure by making paid
*tures, a great hullabaloo is raised
it and Senator Bristow of Kansas
ts smart and in an effort to belittle
r. Bryan introduces his resolution
questing the President to furnish
mgress with information relative
what salary would be adequate
r the secretary of state. This was
very small thing for Mr. Bristow
do and will belittle him rather
an the object of his wrath. No, at
e bottom of it all is a deep-seated
imosity to Mr. Bryan because he
11 talk out in meeting and give the
ople good, wholesome advice, all
which is extremely distasteful to
rtain people who do not like him.
WE WILL NOT LET I P.
We have been urging from time to
ne the importance of our citizens
ganizing themselves into a busiss
club, league or chamber of com>rce
for the purpose of advancing
e interests of the town. If our
siness men do not soon bestir
emselves they will find out when
is too late that much of the bustss
that should naturally come to
ncaster has been drawn to other
rrounding towns. Is it possible
at our individual business men are
much engrossed in their own prite
affairs that they have no time
devote to the public good? Each
d all of you owe much to the place
which you have made a business
pppss anrl slwtnlif l?t? willing fr?
ake some little sacrifice for the
mmunlty. We have no agency
hatever whose business it is to
ish the town on. What we are acunplishing
Is not due to combined
co-operative effort, but to the In>rent
good located here. We have
tizens, good men, who are so ab>rbed
in their own afTalrs, that they
> not take time even to get together
a the streets and discuss the needs
f the town. How long Is this to
>ntlnue? Won't some one take the
sad and organize the men into a
namber of commerce?
We are losing many opportunities
f advertising Lancaster Just because
f a lack of co-operative spirit. Foi
istance, the Columbia real estate
xchango is about to send a boosting
arty into the middle west and have
sked fifty South Carolina towns te
jln in the enterprise. We presume
.ancaster was included in that num
er. A meeting of those who wisi
j be represented on this trip will be

travel in advance of tlie party and advertlse
their coining. Mr. W. B. I '
Dozier of Columbia, who is chairman [_
of the committee of arrangements,
has this to say of the plans for the
trip:
"This is not an undertaking for
the benefit of any one town. Neither ?
will any particular resources be fea
turuu. it a UlUYcmruv vv au?n h.-jc
the entire state of South Carolina P!
and every section of the state will
reap the benefits. The expenses of
the tour will be divided among the d<
cities or commercial bodies repre- N
seated.
'The boosting party will travel in
Pullman cars. A baggage car will m
also be a part of the arrangements pi
and this will be used for the purposr y
ot showing a display and exhibits
from the state."
Are other towns of less linpor- w
ance to enjoy the benefits of an advertising
scheme like this while Lan- m
caster goes without? This is just a
reminder of a splendid opportunity tli
we may miss if we sit idle. We are h'
losing something all the time be- jj'
cause we will uot get together. We
can but call these things to your atton
Hon Whv will our neonle stand ot
fit
so iu their own light? Can't they
see how much we are missing? rf
Even at the risk of boring you with qi
our plea, we expect to keep talking
for the organization of a board of ^
trade. And we will not let up until R]
the thing is done. ri

danger from automobiles. 1,1
The News has from time to time
been culling the attention of our citi- 1)
zens to the great danger of accidents w
from the fast driving of automobiles
' upon the streets of the town. And
; we have done so from a sense of duty tl
we feel we owe the public. It has tl
( been a wonder to many people of ,
our town that some person has not
been killed at one of the street cross- K
ings. Shocking accidents are now
happening with great frequency and ^
yet the car of Juggernaut speeds on (>
its way leaving death and destruc- r<
tion in its wake. The writer has
just received news of the tragic
death of a very near and dear friend j,in
a Western city by being run over ti
by an automobile. A week or ten o
days ago the daughter of a promt- Cl
nent Charleston attorney was hurl- g
ed to her death from a machine and ci
only a few months ago a young lady T
In Charlotte was done to death by
one of these machines. Whilst it is p
right and proper that the owners of r<
automobiles ihould get all the pleas- o
ure possible out of their machines, p
yet they should use the utmost care, f(
especially where they are likely to u
collide with persons and objects, it
How horrible the thought of run- "
ning over and crushing the life out
of some one! If some such accident l
should happen in our midst, how d
much would we be impressed with "
the importance of observing safe and
sane rules in operating motor ma- a
chines. But why learn the lesson at H
,sucli fearful cost? 2

"HOtKJISHXESN." a
We are glad the "old man" is tak- w
ing a vacation but in his absence we p
wish The ltock Hill Record would be
a little more careful to give the fc
proper credit to editorials from other a
papers. In its last issue, under the "
i caption "Hoggishness" is reproduced
verbatim et literatim an editorial
f r/tm Tli n Mou*a r? f In at Tnno/lo v li
which appears as original matter in
The Record. We suggest to our con- ^
temporary that there are other man- n
ifest forms of the swinish instinct p
besides those displayed by the "end- a
seat" or the "whole-seat" animal.

WHAT WILL THF HARVEST BE? r
The statement has been given out ^
,that Governor Blease, Senator Mc- p
; Laurie, Editor Green, of The Ander- v
son Intelligencer and Editor Grist of a
; The Yorkville Enquirer, were seen *
to get in an automobile at Hender- j(
sonville, N. C., recently. It remains
to be seen what the result of this
I gathering will be. Possibly George 1
may be side-tracked and Johnnie put j
on the main line for the executive v
mansion. Iu the mean time we will F
have to possess our soul in patience 1
until the outcome of the meeting ma- j
terlalizes. <.

Many a farmer boy sweltering between
the plow handles these long
hot days thinks that It is his misfortune
to have to Weep so steadily at
work from day to day and fancies
that the hoy who can spend his time
in idleness is abundantly blessed. In
later years it will be brought home
to this same boy that he was exceedingly
fortunate that he had the work
habit instilled into his make-up in
his younger days. Capacity for
work Is one of the most important
essentials for success, and multitudes '
of failures may be charged up to
sheer inability to lay hold of a Job j
and push it energetically. The boy I
who comes to manhood without
knowing by experience what It is to
stay on a Job patiently and continually
from day to day until it is finished
is poorly equipped to make a
success at any line of endeavor. To
be successful nothing Is more important
than the work habit and fortunate
is the boy who comes to manhood
with mind and hand trained to
tackle a Job and stay with it until It
is finished.?Chesterfield Advertiser. |

If we are to be frequently subject
to droughts of several weeks' duration
In this region It would be well
for our farmers to familiarize themselves
with the principles of dry
farming as developed In the semiarid
regions of the West and Northwest.
It Is not that we have come
to any such necessity as confronts
farmers out there, but a knowledge
of what they do and why would
come handy not Infrequently here.
How they conserve moisture In
the ground by persistently keeping a
dust mulch over their fields so that
moisture cannot seep through from
below to the surface and escape is
a matter of interest to us because
there are times when we need the
very same thing here. The fact is,
deep ploughing and preparation and
shallow but very frequent cultivation
during the growing season is
the way to farm anywhere and our
up-to-date farmers are reatizing this
better every year. By pursuing
this method, they can pretty nearly
exempt themselves from liability to
loss through droughts of moderate
length and from severe loss at all in
this climate.?Spartanburg Herald.
