TUESDAY, (M'TOBKll II. 1013. ?Weather forecast for Soutl Carolina: Fair Tuesday; Wednes day fair and warmer, light to mod erate north winds. Buy in Lancaster. Isn't it good to be alive thi weather? Why not drag the roads regularl; and often? Let the women also hold a confer ence for the common good. "Ganiboa is busted," is the wa Wilson "busted" the news. The hot supper season is with u once again, as well as the hot suppe appetite. "How tame it all seems?the co^ instead of the pitchfork!" exclaim The Augusta Chronicle. We are wondering if the new tari law Is going to help lower the big cost of Christmas presents. Along with other things which ha to be swatted, President w uson ui not miss the roller towel In fecleri buildings. Now that the odorless onion lis been discovered, there is perliai reason to hope that a tasteless cal bage may yet appear. We are not going to have a count fair this year and that is all the 11101 reason why Lancaster should be we represented at the state fair. We are going to be the better fc the conference for the com mo good. Don't you all agree that it a great thing for Lancaster county Senator Tillman's "allegories cow" in The Congressional Recor gave to that one issue at least a d< gree of interest for the reading pul lie. We agree with the statement 1 "The News and Courier that "Woraa still occupies her pedestal in th South and Mrs. Pankhurst isn't g( ing to knock her off." We agree with The Charlesto Post that "if Representative Clayto of Alabama is needed in the hous< how much more is Representativ Underwood needed therein." In Greenville they had "fal weather for the fairt" in that respe< differing widely from the usual stat of affairs in Columbia during the hi annual gathering of Carolinians. We want our school boys and glr to know that they are welcome t apace in our columns and that 01 readers will he interested in hearin of their progress in matters educj tional. The miracle of wireless telegrapli rescued many lives when the Vo turno was swept by tire and ten pest and if the sea had been calm is probable that all her passengei would have been saved. A fine demonstration of the use < the road drag was given our peop when Main street was dragged se eral days ago. The improvement marked. Let the good work go o we insist, in town as well as througl out the county. The Greenwood Daily Journal tel us that Col. Abe Martin says som times when he sees a bride ar groom. It s all be can do to ke< from going right up to the bride ai asking her why she didn't loc around a little longer. Listen to this, you who are I cltned to knock, and get busy ev< if you do make a mistake occasions ly: " 'Every man must make mi \ V takes if he tries to accomplish any- T ' thing worth while,' says The Gaffney Ledger. Itemember that, you fellows a] = who are prone to criticise those who jj try to do things."?Abbeville Med- f( ium. We cannot endorse the above ^ too strongly, for it is needed here as i3 well as in Gaffney and Abbeville. a 0 Drag the roads now and the winter season will lose many of its tor- _ rors for those who have to travel j{ them to church, to school, to town or to their neighbors. Let's drag the w roads then and make the people hap- j, pier. We believe the teachers of Lancas- 81 y ter are about to begin another good year of work In the county education) al association. They have arranged 6 B a very attractive program for the 11 f meeting next Saturday. f< Farm Demonstrator C. L. Mc- a Manus tells us that it is not too late ^ to plant cover crops. We suggest R then that those who have not already 81 done so should get in their cover crops while yet there is time. tl Not content with allowing the fi public a well-earned rest from Teddy, a . his sister, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, it s< , is announced, will stump New Jer- b< - sey in behalf of the Progressive can- cj - didate for governor of that state. hi If you do not aread The Lancaster \V News you doubtless think you are not i? missing much, but however that may n s be. it is the only paper in which you i? can read the news of your county, n: Ilad you ever tliougnt about it that \, ' way? if 11 We believe one cannot read Mrs. ^ Moore's article on "The Public Li- n brary" in this issue without being im- 0 pressed with the good which results * from such an institution. A public library is needed here but it cannot s be had until our people realize that r they owe it to their town and county to help establish one. The town should bear the large part of the exr,' pense, but our citizens generally s should contribute liberally towards this need of ours, a public library. ff "In the great world of books," li says Hall Catne, the novelist, "free libraries occupy the place of custodians of the public conscience." Mr. ^ Caine further emphasizes the impor- p (1 tance of public libraries and speaks j -- ui must' ? iiuiu we Miuum hirive l() i reach through them as "the large and 1 sincere audience that depend for ^ IS their literature on the great free li- j hraries of the country." It is our c duty here in Lancaster to supply our J local audience with good, wholesome ^ books. Are we going to give them | . reading matter free or must many 1 jj go without this means of uplift? t MATTKIt OF HISTOHV. , )r We are indebted to Miss Lena Mc- s n Murray, city editor of Tlie Henderson ,:I [a Gold Leaf of Henderson, X. C., for 7 the Interesting sketch of historic old s Waxhaw church published in this d i! issue. It was written for The Waxd haw Enterprise and published in that ?- paper sometime ago. It is very inj teresting and instructive and we take j pleasure in giving it to our readers 0 for the store of information which it v n contains in reference to the place and t n its associations. 1 ? We are at a loss, however, to un- c >- derstand why Miss McMurray con- r cedes to North Carolina the honor v of being the native state of Andrew v n Jackson, when South Carolina's n claim is already so well established. s* This is doubly strange when we ree fleet that the writer's birthplace, as was Old Hickory's is in Lancaster I county. Miss McMurray's stay ( among tlie Tar Heels( perhaps, best explains her statement, for, as is ,e well known hereabouts, our neighs' bors on the north hold strongly to this and other strange delusions, inls eluding the Mecklenburg myth. () Hut whether or not Miss McMurray ,r claims Andrew Jackson for South Carolina and Lancaster county, we most certainly claim him and have tlie best reasons for our claim. We nope that Miss McMurray, the dnughiy ter of Mr. W. H. IV McMurray of this 1- county, will not claim North Caro- t d- Una for herself as she has done for it Andrew Jackson, as she is a young ' rs woman who was born and reared in ( this county. Miss McMurray is mak- ' in g good in newspaper work, as a sf glance at the local page of the Henle derson paper will indicate. V- ' ls AN AHIjE CHARGE. ? Judge Prince's charge to the grand i [j* jury at the opening of the court I Monday, was one of the ablest pre- 1 sentations of the duties devolving upon that body that has ever been 1 e_ delivered in our court house. The 1 l(1 judge did not mince matters in what < )p what he had to say. His remarks i 1(j on education and the schools were 1 )k particularly fine; also on the pre- I valence of crime and its causes. We publish a synopsis of the charge n- elsewhere in this issue and ask a i m careful reading of it on the part of i J. every man. woman and child in the s- couuty.
