Tire Yorkvllle Enquirer says, "The people* do not in the least object to Mr. McLaurin's candidacy." We presume from this that he will run. The Yorkville Enquirer is anxious Tor Governor Blease and President "Wilson to be brought together. We suggest that the Yorkville paper undertake the job. The News and Courier says the only three cool places on earth at present are Charleston and the two poles. Please tell us on which of the poles Charleston is hung. Here's hoping that Abbeville county may have a safe deliverance from the establishment of disDen snries within her borders, at the election to take place soon. When Mr. Bryan accepted the premiership in President Wilson's cabinet, he neither promised expressly nor implied that he would discontinue going about doing good. Governor Blease, in his speech at Bennettsville, said "For the past two and a half years, and for the next year and a half South Carolina sure had one governor." Amen. She sure had. Senator Cummins makes himself ridiculous when he suggests that one serious defect in the tariff bill now pending before Congress, is that it does the farmers injustice. May the farmers always be delivered from f rlon/lo oo Onn n ? 1? vuvu a. A iviiuo ao kJCUU WI tl LLi 111 1119. This from The Florence Times suggests food for thought. "Do you ever hear of general regret at the death of any one who does no good In the world? None of us want to die like a dog, with none to lament and no note left in our neighborhood but it will be that way if we live for self alone." The editor of The Yorkville Enquirer devotes a column and a quarter of its editorial space, in its last issue, telling of his "interesting and novel experience in a ride around Hendersonville with the governor." We are glad that Mr. Grist enjoyed his ride and found in it so much to write about. '"Senator Tillman comes out in plain English and says that he will not vote to seat a man who is elected by fraud," says The Greenwood Journal. Yes, but why didn't he come out and say so when Lorimer was on trial before the senate? He not only voted for him but used the weight of his influence to keep Lorimer in the senate. We agree heartily with what Editor Hearon has to say on the sub ject of "beans," but in enumerating the vegetables which are such a delight to poor men he left out the plain, old-fashioned cow pea. Especially are they appetizing to that numerous class of the indigent 'designated by Editor Connors as "editors and niggers." No wonder Senator "Blustow" blustered and foamed at the mouth when Senator Ashurst pulled that 10 06 letter on him wherein lie was begging for a job as government canal commissioner that would pay $7,500, which would "require a visit to the Isthmus once In three months." And adding, "1 could hold it and live in Kansas, being there at 1p?at half inv tlmo and a-hon it got hot I could resign." The Kansas senator should take a back seat for awhile. In the recent spat between Senator Tillman and Governor Blease, Senator Tillman, In an Interview, says that "if tr.oney buys the next senatorship in South Carolina as it may do" * he "will feel compelled to object to the seating of any man sent here with a tainted title." We presume the governor will take note and govern himself accordingly. But suppose the governor should come back at the senator and ask him why he stuck to Lorimer when nearly all of his Democratic colleagues were with the majority which unseated him, because he had a "tainted title." , WHAT ARK WE DOING FOR OUR < 1 COMMUNITY? During these hot days wheu there is not much else to be done, how ' would it do for all of our citizens 1 to think of the propriety of com- ' menciug a movement to advance the interests of Lancaster all along the line. Let each ! one take the matter seriously ' to heart and consider how much we 1 have done for our town. The one ' essential thing we need to realize is 1 that "Education of public opinion is 1 the fundamental principle of ad- 1 vancement." ii in your juuguieiii soiiiewiiug *? needed it is your duty to make it '1 ' known and convince others to your 1 way of thinking. You may, and ' doubtless will, meet with opposition, ,s but you will at least put people to : thinking. A few disgruntled or ' soured people can do a lot of harm | towards chilling any effort projected for the good of the town, but do not stop to argue with them and they will soon get tired of hearing themselves talk. I Seriously, what are we doing for our town? Many are at- I tending to their own private affairs . and are making money, but are you devoting any of your time to the public good? The trutu is our community has grown and prospered in ' spite of the heavy weight of some of ( its citizens who have done little or 1 nothing to help shove things along. 1 Now, this is not meant to be per- 1 sonal; we have mentioned no names; ' we are merely stating facts. Let us ail consider the matter seriously as to whether we are among those who are helping Lancaster to move for- , ward or whether we are among the 1 dead weights, who are merely sitting down and being carried along. If all ( jour people will do some serious , * | thinking along the line suggested, It | will result in good. AS TO SENATOR McLAURIX. In reference to Senator McLaurin in connection with the mention of his 5 name for the governorship of South J Carolina, Governor Blease is quoted as saying: I "He is a good, true man, who has ' not been treated right by the people 1 of South Carolina." < The governor is off his base badly j as to the treatment of Mr. McLaurin by the people of South Carolina. ( They honored him time and again s and at last sent him to the United ( States senate, from which he voun- i laruy retired at tlie end of his term. ( The people of South Carolina owe the { senator nothing, but the senator . owes them more than he can ever j repay. If Governor Illease is not con- f vinced of the fact, let him ask Sena- c I tor Tillman. t KEEP QUIET, AND LET HER t GROW. Yes, it was scorching hot last ^ week, notably on Friday night, but 8 why grumble and growl about it. Don't you know it was cotton grow- | ing weather? While you were toss-! ing and rolling about thinking cuss ^ words, if not uttering them, the cot- ' ton plant was drinking in the humid- ( ity and growing to beat the band. And what's more we- are all inter- j ested in cotton, and if we were not t having these hot nights, when gath- ( ering time comes, you would be wear- .. ing a long face, going about, giving utterance to that old song. "Yes, the crop's mighty short." Now, if you want to exist these cotton-growing nights, adopt Uncle George Phillips' c plan, just hoist that nether garment * clear over your head, and with the ? happy thought that "cotton is a t humping," go off to sleep and dream that Cotton Smith's prediction has come true and that she's bringing twenty-five cents per pound, to say ' nothing of the seed. (lOVKHXMKXT SHOULD MAKE 1 ITS OWN AltMOIt. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, after considering the figures submitted by naval experts, has recom- ' mended to Congress the enactment . of a law providing for the establish- s ment of a government armor plate ' factory. Under the present system \ the government is now paying a mil- , lion or more dollars too much to < armor manufacturing plants?owned by private concerns. Another plan suggested Is for the government to ' compel competition among these pri- 1 vate manufacturers. But this would , not be practicable. So it is only a i ] question as to whether the government will allow itself to be gouged j by these private concerns, or stop it 1 by going into the manufacture of 1 armor plate itself. 11 We call especial attention to the address of Capt. William M. Shannon, delivered at the recent meeting of the South Carolina Building and i Loan League at Abbeville, appearing 1 elsewhere In this Issue. Any utterance from a man of the type of Captain Shannon Is worthy of con- < < slderatlon and the subject of his re- | marks, "The Moral Effect of a Building and Loan Account," appeals to everybody. j * THE LANCASTER NKV COl'NTY NEWS ALWAYS WEL- COME. We are glad to give our readers today several newsy letters from various sections of the county.

Four of the most mportant southern provinces have ieclared Independence of the pres- <j ?nt government, at the head of which C s Provisional President Shi Kai and ' :he probabilities are that the new j republic will soon bo in the throes of p "evolution. This, no doubt, is what P Russia and Japan are glad to witness, is each of these great powers has ^ ong been casting reedy eyes on the j, fellow nation. What the outcome e< (vill be, it is not possible at this d stage to forecast, but it is not im- c< o jrobable that it may result in the tj iismeinberment of the empire. it i T The stand-patters of the now de- ' 'unct Republican party make themselves ridiculous in their attacks on he administration of President iV'ilson. Their charges are all so u rivial, such as the use of grape juice gi it his table by Mr. Bryan and the ai nitting in of his idle time in making ectures. Then they have made onslaughts on President Wilson bo- m ause he chose to say what he had 8* o say to Congress face to face and lecause he routed the lobby out of he cloak rooms. The poor old party m s certainly hard up for something angible to bring against the prosent idministration. Qj 1! We can very well understand why , fr vrong rules in South Carolina when OI ve consider the fact that she spends es inly $3 per child for the education ,c if her children, the very lowest of jjj my state in the Union. No wonder he demagogue is in the saddle and pi hat he is opposed to compulsory edication. See elsewhere in this issue J?.1 i list of the different states showing: ni he amount spent by each on ehil- $1 Iron of school ape. The names of those Bulgarian and Servian ministers, Pavlovitch and V Catchovitch, are so queer and yet io much alike that we are at a loss o know vitch is vitch. le P' "Why should Senator Tillman earn for fried chicken when he has p ried to make so many people eat w tow?" asks The News and Courier.'*1 \nd buzzard, too, let us add. e< h General Wood Going to Germany.
