TUESDAY, (M'TOBKll II. 1013.
?Weather forecast for Soutl
Carolina: Fair Tuesday; Wednes
day fair and warmer, light to mod
erate north winds.

Isn't it good to be alive thi

Why not drag the roads regularl;
and often?
Let the women also hold a confer

Now that the odorless onion lis
been discovered, there is perliai
reason to hope that a tasteless cal

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

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<

We want our school boys and glr
to know that they are welcome t

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

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<

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

Farm Demonstrator C. L. Mc- a

missing much, but however that may n

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.

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.
