May the best men win, for the town needs the best in her service. h t1 We at least had good weather for moving, which is more than we can say of this week. The suffragette question is perhaps , the most difficult task the President j has had to solve, but we believe he is equal to it. ' h We heat Georgia by four bushels In our average corn yield per acre this (] year, just as Jerry Moore beat that Welborn lad. ii Manrice Castello will remain the n idol of many moving picture fiends, even though lie has been arrested ^ for beating his wife. c< Thanksgiving Day. circus day. a ? busy Saturday, Sales day., and today ' d the town election show how time h passes in lively Lancaster. h Our neighbors have been most cordial. so hospitable in fact that we K contemplate having a housewarniing. M even before our sto\< are put up. j vv ,1 The Anderson Mail, realizing I lie ^ exclusiveness of the "City by the ,, Sea." says "Charleston may let the Seaboard Air Line come into the city, but it must not be expected to be y recognized socially for the next two a hundred years." e y The Charlotte Observer, in com- jj minting on the governor of that j, state being temporarily absent in C) Alabama, leaving the lieutenant gov- , ernor in charge, says everything will be safe as he can exercise neither 11 the veto nor pardoning power. s< al If conditions in Alabama are any- ,, thing like they are in this state, the V( brilliant and able Oscar \V. .Under- ^ wood will stand but little chance of ()| going to the United States senate with Richmond Pearson llobson of Merrimac fame barking at his heels.

( There are also Smith of Georgia, Smith of Maryland and Smtih of . Arizona. Hut none of these Smiths nor other senators are more deserv- J" ing of re-election to the senate than the South Carolinian, Durant Smith. ' icl Our very merciful governor recent- sc ly paroled a convict who had been n< dead for more than a year. Fortunately the domain over which his ct Excellency rules does not extend in- w to the other world, unless perhaps it m reaches to the one whiteher he is m wont to consign the constitution. In ci which case it is not probable that his ' di Satanic majesty will release the! prisoner. A This from The Abbeville Medium i is well worthy of consideration here ' In Lancaster also: When a man ^ comes back he Is always surprised to , ,, see how the old town has grown. ; \ This town is getting better all the ! H while; you may not see it, but he sees | jJJ it. The only question is, How fast ' is li, getting netter: i nat is up to \\ you.
