FRIDAY, JULY 25. 1913.
Welcome, Winnsboro!
Glad to have you here.
We hope you'll come agalu.
Nobody but a confirmed knocker
can complain of the weather now.
What has become of the old-fashioned
child who was always fast
asleep at 8 o'clock?
Wonder if Dr. Mary Walker expected
to witness the day when male
attire would be considered conservative
dress for women?
The Americus (Georgia i Times remarks
that the war department
should be given a vote of thanks for
squelching Governor Blease.
It has been said that to improve
family trees they should be pruned
close to the roots. We would like
to recommend a little trimming of
the top branches in some instances.
The numerous candidates for governor
of South Carolina should bear
Ill mina inai an eariy aniiouncement
does not mean an early election,"
a sage remark made by The
Salisbury Post.
The editor of The Pageland Journal
also seems to he getting desperate
when he says, "We will give a
full year's subscription to The Journal
to the man presenting the largest
watermelon this season. Bring 'em
along."
From "militant statistics," recently
compiled, which show a fire loss of
$574.000 worth of property this
year within less than four months'
time, we judge that woman suffrage
is the burning question of the day in
England.
The Charlotte Observer says:
"The Richmond woman who was arrested
for wearing a skirt slit kneehigh
has moved to New York. Of
course!" Wonder if the Augusta
offender has taken up her abode in
Atlanta?
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
tells us. "The Manning Times
says there is a great demand for
Senator McLaurln to run for governor
or senator. There is no such
demand over this way." Neither
have we heard any clamor for j
Johnny in this neck of the woods.
"Governor Makes Charges." reads
a headline which has reference to the
governor of one of those southern
provinces of China. If that province |
in seceding make us think of South
Carolina's similar action, what do
those charges on the part of its chief I
executive call to mind?
Did anybody hear YV. F. Cald-1
yell when he saw his name appear
as it was in The News and Courier j
yesieruay oeneain inai 01 ine cmei
executive of South Carolina, giving
the Columbia correspondent to the
Charleston paper also the titles of
governor and commander-in-chief. I
We commend the following front
The Charleston Evening Post to our
people: "Charleston is boosting
South Carolina every day by boost- |
lug herself. Let every town follow i
suit. Then all can join in a grand j'
chorus for the Palmetto State, just
as soon as the individual voices are
cultivated to the right notch."
Remember each town must do its
part if it is to profit by the general
hnnntinp nf the state Are we fnlnir
to get our share?
Says The News and Courier:
"No sooner does Bryan sing the
praise of grape juice than he is flooded
with gifts of that beverage. No
sooner does Tillman long in the public
prints for fried chicken than
fried chicken by the dozen are sent
to him. Clever! clever. Who'll be
the next statesman to adopt this
method of getting food and drink
free?" That remind* us, that editors
might be likewise rewarded. He
we've been eulogizing the luscious
watermelon for a mouth in advance
of the season and not yet have we
been presented with even a tempting
slice.
AUK YOU DOING YOUR PART?
The Anderson Mail of last M011iay
said of us, "The Lancaster News
s giving the people of that town
much too good a paper for the
noney." We appreciate this, Mr.
danks, as well as the other Haltering
remarks you made recently concern
ng The News. The other kind words
we withheld, feeling our unworthiuess
of the praise they heaped upon
us. And it is not yiat we consider
the above quotation as deserving that
we give it here, but in order that
sur townspeople may see that their
l>aper, the only paper in Lancaster
county, is well received at the hands
sf a very excellent journal whose inlluence
for good in progressive Anlerson
has been a potent factor in
the development of that city and seclion,
where the Daily Mail is not
>nly eagerly read but is given the appreciative
support of the best citizenship.
We know the Anderson
people are loyal to that tireless
booster who tells the world each
lay, "Anderson is my town." Aulerson
is indeed his town and he is
loing splendid work for it. He feels
that nothing is too good for An
ll*?I >Ull.
And this idea, that nothing is too
pood for the town in which we live,
arompts us to assure our reader?
that we do not feel we are giving
them too much for their money, hut
rather that we cheerfully offer theni
our very best service because we feel
that a town and county of such vast
possibilities are eminently worthy ol
our every effort. We, therefore, art
trying always to help Lancaster 1>>
giving her "not too good a paper foi
the money," but just as good a pa
per as possible.
We strive always to advance the
interests of the town and county ant
will do all in our power for both
Hut whether or not our work is ti

of our people towards this, their pa

hope or expectation of praise foi
those whose interests are ours, bu
we do wish and think we have s
right to expect, that support whicl
is absolutely necessary if this papo
is to be the success it should he
Now we are going to be perfectl;
frank with our readers and tell then
a few plain truths. In order that w<
might give the people of this count;
a paper in keeping with the size am
importance of Lancaster we have, a
great expense installed a costly lino
type machine, in addition to othe
equipment which was needed in i
job cftice like ours. We are now en
abled to do much more work, and a
far shorter notice, than formerly
We are the only printers in tin
county and do good work. If oui
service was inferior or if our pricei
were not fair we would not expee
your patronage nor would we havi
a right to it. But as it is, we fee
money s worm.
REFORM THE PRIMARY.
Mr. John J. McMahatx. once statr
superintendent of education, ha;
been writing a series of letters tr
the press of the state urging that oni
primary election laws be reformer
so as to preclude any possibility o
fraud. Says he, "The primary needi
reforming. Let us hammer at It
line upon line, precept upon precept.'
The Columbia State, in commentlni
upon Mr. McMahan'S unselfish task
suggests co-operation on the part o
all forces that mould public opinion
to bring about the desired result
The 8tate puts the matter in a nut
shell when It says:
"Mr. McMahan can lead but h
can not command followers. To oh
tain followers public opinion mua
be aroused. The seed that he sow
that you wiiom we serve in ever)
possible way. should in turn help us
How many of you are having youi
printing done here? How man)
have paid your subscriptions? Art
you merchants and other business
men advertising with us as you
should? We are constantly increasing
our subscription list and the merchants
should remember that each
new reader of The News brings in
another possible customer to those
who know the value of advertising.
It you do not tell the people what
you have for sale what right have
you to expect their patronage?
The town itself instead of giving
this office the job of publishing tlie
ordinances and printing them in
neat pamphlet form, as heretofore,
this year only lot us print them 011
cardboard to bo posted as dodgers
about town. And moreover, the town
authorities this year imposed an exorbitant
license tax upon us, which
even after much remonstrance was
only reduced to an amount three
times that which is exacted of similar
concerns in other towns of this
size.
No. we repeat it? We are not receiving
the loyal support of the people.
Consider the matter deliberately
and you will he forced to the same
conclusion. Then come with your
subscription, your printing and your
advertising and we promise you in
whatever you get from us, not too
much for your money, but your full
should be cultivated In a hundred
fields. The arguments that he makes
should go before ull the reading people
of the state, and that will not be
done unless the weekly press so de'
crees. The honest people of South
Carolina should be made to realize
1 the responsibility of each individual
{in removing from the primary Its discreditable
features. When that is
done, the legislators will understand
their duty and perform It. I
| "There is a worthy part for every
man and every newspaper; and it Is
the duty of every man and newspaper
to perform that part. Let us
not leave Mr. McMahan to struggle
alone in his attempt to secure honest
elections, but let the advocates of
honesty 'get behind him' and assist
in every way in arousing public sentiment
to that point where reforms
will be forced."
COI.ON F.I, SPRINGS GOT IT.
It seems that people in Hock Hill
have been trying to find out who is !
responsible for the mid-day train to
and from Charlotte, which the Southern
Railway has recently extended
and which greatly improves our railroad
facilities. The Rock Hill Rec-i
ord says that It has been accused,|
also the Rock Hill chamber of commerce,
as well as Col. Leroy Springs
I and the Greater Charlotte Club. It
develops that the "Good Town" and
Charlotte claimants have about decided
to give the credit where it
frightfully belongs, to Col Leroy
Springs, who, as stated in this paper
some time ago, went to Washington
1 and secured the improved service
within ten days. The Record quotes
| the following from The Charlotte
Chronicle of recent date:
"The new train which the South- ;
ern is running into Charlotte from
* 'Rock Hill, Lancaster and interniedtmints
is n irrmit rnnvonjpitrp t<?
many people and is benefiting trade
to Charlotte to a considerable extent
by reason of the fact that it comes
I into the city in the middle of the day
. enabling buyers to spend most of the
j afternoon here. Col. Leroy Springs
of Lancaster was largely responsible
51 for getting the improved service,
- ] having made a special trip to Washington
in this behalf. In so doing he
r rendered service not only to the people
of his own town but to Charlotte
1 as well."

The Timmonsville Enterprise tells
the following story of thrift and
industry which is hard to beat:
1 "A cetrain man who recently
81 moved with him family to our town
f was in Columbia a few days ago, and
i while there he purchased a fine cow.
( He came through the country and
i was three days and nights on his
way, hut notwithstanding the fact,
r lie led his cow and sold milk enough
i to pay all his expenses and that he
arrived at home Saturday with a
( clear profit of thirty-five cents."
1 If that man would come to Lancaster
he would soon make a fortune.
! There is much demand for milk and
r
then he might also reap rich profits
in butter. We need a dairy and we
need wide-awake citizens like that
! Timmonsvllle man. Hut, seriously,
why doesn't somebody in Lancaster
establish a dairy?
IIOMK IU I.L FOK IKLLAND.
The Irish home rule bill, for which
Mr. Gladstone labored so earnestly
during the latter years of his life,
though recently defeated by the
House of Lords, is almost certain to
become a law in the near future. It
lias been passed at two successive
' sessions, and though rejected by the
Lords each time, it will automatically
become a law if it passes the
lower house at the next session. So
f the Liberals remain in power a
year longer Ireland will secure her
long-delayed right to local self-government.
It would seem that the
upper house of the ltritish Parliament
is bent upon its own destruction.
The Liberals have made n
threat to take measures for the
abolition of the upper chamber if it
continues in its obduracy.

It is better to have the reputation

3ne of the conditions overlooked p
many advertisers is in failing to 1
