C., by The Lancaster Publishing Company, successors to The Ledger, established 1852; The Review, established 1878; The Entb.*prlse, established 1891, and entered as second-class matter Oct. 7, 1905, at the postofllce at Lancaster, S. C., under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: / M % \ Viii mi* nuw* / One Year $1.50 Six Months 75c TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1018. The Yorkville Enquirer says, "The 'people' ilo not in the least object to Mr. McLaurin's candidacy." Wo presume from this that he will run. The Yorkville Enquirer Is anxious for 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 rrom tiie estaousnment or dispensaries within hor borders*, nt 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. ! I Governor Blease, in his speech at , Bennettsvllle, said "For the past two ' and a half years, and for the next j 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 hill near pending before Congress, is that it does the farmers injustice. May the farmers always be delivered from such friends as Senator Cummins. i 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 En-1 quirer 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. Orist 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 1 bv frnml " unvu Tho 1 Journal. Yes, but why didn't he ( come out and say so when Lorimer ' was on trial before the senate? lie ' not only voted for him but used the ( weight of his influence to keep Lorimer in the senate. 1 1 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 de- 1 light to poor men he left out the ' plain, old-fashioned cow pea. Es- 1 pecially are they appetizing to that 1 numerous class of the indigent designated by Editor Connors as ( "editors and niggers." No wonder Senator "Blustow" : blustered and foamed at the mouth 1 when Senator Ashurst pulled that 1 1906 letter on him wherein he was ' begging for a job as government 1 canal com mission or that would pay $7 ,500, which would "require a visit to the Isthmus once in three months." And adding, "I could hold ; It aud live in Kansas, being there at least half my time and when it 1 got hot I could resign." The Kan- ' Has senator should take a back seat for awhile. In the recent spat between Senator Tillman and Governor BleaBO, Senator Tillman, in an interview, says , that "if money 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." Wo nri.flnmo fho orvuorrt or n-111 note and govern himself accordingly. But suppose the governor should come back at the senator and ask him why he stuck to Dorlmer 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 COMMUNITY? During these hot days when there Is not much else to be done, how would It do for all of our citizens to think of the propriety of commencing a movemeut to advance the interests of Laucas tcr all along the line. L.et eacn one take the matter seriously to heart and consider how much we have done for our town. The one essential thing we need to realize is that "Education of public opinion is the fundamental principle of advancement." If in your judgment something is needed it is your duty to make it known and convince others to your way of thinking. You may, and doubtless will, meet with opposition, but you will at least put people to thinking. A few disgi untied 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. Seriously, what are we doing for our town? Many are attending to their own private affairs and are making money, but are you devoting any of your time to the public good? The truth Is our community has grown and prospered In spite of the heavy weight of some of its citizens who have done little or nothing to help shove things along. Now, this Is not meant to be personal; we have mentioned no names; we are merely stating facts. Let us all consider the matter seriously as to whether we are among those who are helping Lancaster to move forward or whether we are among the dead weights, who are merely sitting down and being carried along. If all our 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 name for the governorship of South Carolina, Governor Blease is quoted as saying: "He is a good, true man, who has not been treated right by the people of South Carolina." The governor is off his base badly as to the treatment of Mr. McLaurin by the people of South Carolina. They honored him time and again and at last sent him to the United States senate, from which he vountarily retired at the end of his term. The people of South Carolina owe the senator nothing, but the senator owes them more than he can ever repay. If Governor Blease is not convinced of the fact, let liim ask Sena- 1 tor Tillman. KEEP QUIET AM) LET HER ( ROW. Yes, it was scorching hot last week, notably on Friday night, hut ' why grumble and growl about it. j Don't you know it was cotton grow- | iiik wi'mnor: wiiiic you wore tossing and rolling about thinking cuss words, if not uttering them, the cotton plant was drinking in the humidity and growing to beat the band. And what's more we are all interested in cotton, and if we were not liaving these hot nights, when gathering time comes, you would be wearing a long face, going about, giving utterance to that old song, "Yes, the ?rop's mighty short." Now, if ypu want to exist these cotton-growing i nights, adopt Uncle George Phillips' [>lan, just hoist that nether garment -lear over your head, and with the tiappy thought that "cotton is a [lumping," go off to sleep and dream hat Cotton Smith's prediction has %ome true and that she's bringing twenty-five cents per pound, to say lothing of the seed. :;<>vr.it\mi nt sum in w %ur I rs o\v\ ARMOR. Secretary of the N'avy Daniels, ifter considering the figures submitted by naval experts, has recommended to Congress the enactment :>f a law providing for the establishment of a government armor plate factory. Under the present system the government is now paying a mil- i lion or more dollars too much to , armor manufacturing plantR?owned j by private concerns. Another plan suggested is for the government to compel competition among these private manufacturers. But this would not bo practicable. So it is only a , question as to whether the government will allow Itself to be gouged by these private concerns, or stop It by going into the manufacture of armor plate itself. We call especial attention to the address of Capt. William M. Shannon, delivered at the recent meeting of the South Carolina Building and Loan League at Abbeville, appearing elsewhere in this issue. Any utterance from a man of the type of Captain Shannon is worthy of consideration and the subject of his remarks, "The Moral Effect of a Building and Loan Account," appeals to everybody. > I THE LA: "ASTER NJ COl'NtY NEWS ALWAYS WEL COME.

The experiment of a republicai form of government for China is no proving a success. Four of the mos important southern provinces hav< declared Independence of the pres ent government, at the head of whicl is Provisional President Shi Kal an< I the probabilities are that the nev ) republic will soon be in the throes o 1 revolution. This, no doubt, is wha ' Russia and Japan are glad to witness as each of these great powers hai I long been casting reedy eyes on thi yellow nation. What the outcomi I will be. It is not possible at thli stage to forecast, but it Is not im probable that It may result In th< dismemberment of the empire. The stand-patters of the now de funct Republican party make them selvos ridiculous in their attacks 01 the administration of Preslden Wilson. Their charges are all s< ' trivial, such as the use of grape Juic< at his table by Mr. Bryan and tin putting in of his idle time in maklnf lectures. Then they have made on slaughts on President Wilson be cause he chose to say what he hac to say to Congress face to face am because he routed the lobby out oi the cloak rooms. The poor old part} is certainly hard up for something tangible to bring against the preseni administration. We can very well understand win wrong rules in South Carolina when we consider the fact that she spend? only $:i per child for the education of her children, the very lowest ol any state In the Union. No wondei the demagogue Is in the saddle and that he Is opposed to compulsory ed uoation. See elsewhere In this issue a list of the different states showing the amount spent hy each on children of school age. The names of those Bulgarian and Servian ministers, Pavlovitch and Natchovitcli, are so queer and yel so much alike that we are at a loss to know vltch is vitch.

THE UNITED STATES' EXPORTS. i " Manufactures and Manufacturers' 1 Materials Take Precedence. Washington, July 21.?How the 5 United States is changing from a 5 great world market for foodstuffs to 3 an exporter of manufactures and manufacturers' materials is shown in every report issued nowadays by the ' bureau of foreign and domestic com merce. The bureau's latest figures 1 show a growth in expofts of manu, factures from $468,000,000 in 1903 to $1,300,000,000 in the fiscal year ' just closed, and In manufacturers' r materials from $409,000,000 to j $740,000,000 while the exports of . foodstuffs remained at a standstll, $310,000,000, having been the value of the exports in that line both in 1913 and in 1903. Fresh beef exports have fallen from 255,000,000 pounds in 1903 to 1 on!y7,000,000 this last year; beef * cattle from $30,000,000 a decade ago ! to $1,000,000 in 1913, and canned , beef 'rom 76,000,000 pounds to 7,000,000.

The Senator had protested personally against the change and had forwarded to Mr Burleson a pro test from the McKinley club of Canton, Ohio. The postmaster general re" plied that the people's Indorsement ' of the author of the Declaration of 1 Independence In the last election justified the change. He insisted that no slight to the memory of Mc1 Klnley was meant. Protracted Meeting For Fast Fancaster.
