TUESDAY, JANUARY 2<>, 1014. ?Weather forecast for Soutl Carolina: Generally fair Tuesday and Wednesday in west portion. smoking in public places, which ladle are accustomed to frequent. Th practice of smoking in the presence c women is entirely too common. By the hearty co-operation of th citizens of Lancaster county, Kiel Day may be made both pleasent an profitable. We hope Lancsater reputation for hospitality will be we sustained that day and suggested tin the women of tin town contribute big picnic dinner. The Charlotte Chronicle very pert nently suggests that the South Can linn ln<y(oln*.li.n In nmn.wlln^ ?

A like provision might 1. added as to the territory south of i across the Savannah river. Our esteemed Georgia correspoi dent wishes to know the significant of the "Red Rose" as applied to Lai caster. The red rose was the ii slgnia of the English house of Lai caster, Just as the white rose repn sented the house of York, and tt rival claims to the crown of Eni land made by Henry VI of Lancastt and Richard II of York culminate In the Wars on the Roses. Let's make an early start and sec bow much we can accomplish foi Lancaster during 11*14. The Greenville Piedmont would "like to know what the people of Due West think of the tango." Ilut we doubt if they have ever heard of it "How can an honest man object to an honest primary?"?Newberry Observer. That's a hard nut tc crack. We are glad to know that Mr Thomas F. Ryan's recent endorsement of President Wilson has in no wise injured that high otTlcial. The Anderson Mail says "There was a run on the Hank of Mexicc the other day, but it wasn't a circumstance to the race on the bank ol the Rio Grande." "Wonder if a day ? ver passes ii South Carolina without a homicide.' ?Newberry Observer. Yes, occa sionally, when the bullet fails tc reach a vital part and the victim sur vives. Whether or not certain male de tractors will credit the statement, i Is true that Parisian women are fas taking on the Mona Lisa look, whlcl fad lessens conversation, because i requires facial immobility.

Hon Claud N. Rapp, member of th , J lower house from this county, ha I decided to enter the race for con gressman from this district. He ha received encouragement to make th race from all parts of the district an expects to be elected. Mr. Sapi during this, his first term in the leg islature, has made many friends an though young in years and not Ion in politics, is now one of the recog nlzed leaders in the general assem bly. This was recently shown in th election of Ernest Moore as judg of the sixth circuit. It was largel due to his influence and active wor that Judge Gage was elevated to th .'supreme bench and Mr. Moore to tli . j circuit bench. | Mr. Sapp is twenty-eight years o age and is a son of Mr. 1). F. Sapp o the New Retliel section of this counO He was born and reared on the fan in that part of the county. Ho work ed liis own way through WofTor College,, graduating with distinction He afterward graduated in law a the University of South Carolina an about two years ago entered upon th practice at this place. He was elecl ed to the house of representatives i 1911 and is now serving his firs term. CIVIC GUARDS. We have read with interest of a organization known as the Civi i Guards, which is doing effective wor ' in many Western towns. Its i i . pose is to instil in school children j feeling of responsibility towards th . place In which they live and eacl child is required to take this pledge "I promise to do all I can to proraot 1 cleanliness, beauty and order in ou town." School commissioners > teachers and parents have been th . organizers of these guards, whicl have been formed throughou t the West and everywhere gooi r results have been reported. W ' bring this as a suggestion t the parents and teachers o Lancaster, one which would a< complish a great deal in fostering much-needed civic pride in the grow lug boys and girls of this town. Sine the older citizens have neglected th sanitary as well as the aesthetic need of community life, they should b anxious to have their children prod r by the consideration of these impor I taut phases of endeavor. Then wh i not organize the Lancaster Civi x Guards? m:\v tkkat.mknt of convicts I The other states will watch wit |interest the experiment about to be ! gin in Ohio, by which criminals wil i be controlled by "kindness and morn suasion." The Ohio convicts wil t live on a 1,600-acre farm, will slee i in white iron beds and will he work ( ed out of doors without guards. The ( will have the advantage of a schot at which trades will oe taught in n< ditlon to the other branches. It I to be expected that many pri-onct , \ ill take advantige of tli" 1<ni nc of the institution but we believe ! Mill greater number vi I 1" helpi l h t tills new treatment, > th; t when the have served their terms they will 1; better for tho lessons they liav i any form of compul ory ?-dr.< ation < p tlio primary." These are all wi s measures and wo trust tlio gener o assembly will riso to the occasion at ?f enact them into law over his veto. We wish to urge upon all tl e teachers of Lancaster county to a d tend the County Teachers' Assoclatk d which meets at the Central grad< s school building Saturday of th 11 week. There Is no excuse for at it teacher in town failing to bo presec a Aside front the information they w obtain it Is their duty to be prese and give a welcome to the teache from the rural districts. > w The Kind of a Newspaper Th d Wins. . New York Times. What makes a newspaper great ai " in the highest sense successful? T >e foundation is plainly the conflden ih of its readers, the respect Of the coi munity to which it appeals. It com ? iui?i; iciiuiiviniiunn, ui wunman ing the allurement of immediate a vantage of principles clearly form '-e luted and unswervingly adhered I i- of ideals religiously cherished ai j_ never abandoned. When a newsp per conforms to such principle when it is guided by such idea b- when conviction goes every day in ie its making, and when to all these - luminatlng and vitalizing all thai brains are added, the fruit of tt ?r blending will inevitably enjoy t id confidence, the respect and the pt ronage of the community it serves. i TJdLiU LA.N (JASTISK H i?

The flnost benit eflt of social life is the attrition of people with each other.

Isolation in mind and action never will produce large charc acter. The touch of life with life k 1 brings out all the best in men and - I women.?The State Gazette. a ! e A Timely Topic. ^ It is a striking, but strange coincidence that both the Darlington News ' and I'ress and Augusta Chronicle, e !from different prompting, could on r the same day write editorials on the ^ same line in regard to the bad practice of pistol toting. They both made ? the point that brave men, of un| doubted courage, are not pistol toters t j and that the greatest danger that we ,1 | have to fear in this country, the most damage and all that is objectionable ' is caused by the pistol toter. 0 ?Florence Times. f Will Hun Special Trains, a Mr. S. 11.
