Why not call T. lt.'s new river tin Jlig Styx? Who will be the first man to pu Jiis name on the club roll of his vot fng precinct? We urge upon every Democratic jvoter in Lancaster county to put hii |iame on the club roll without delay The ball has commenced a-rolling 'Many Friends." If you don't wan be behind hand you had bette ,|>ring out your candidate. Whatever the Colonel's faults, am Jthey are many, wo are indebted t< Jiim for knocking the G. O. P. int< i\ cocked hat. It looks as if the governor is go ing to be left all alone in his opposi Jtiou to the reform or me primary .The Newberry Herald and News says "The rules are all right." The Columbia State comment this wise in reference to the discov ery by Colonel Roosevelt of a 1,000 mile-long river in South America "Dam the Colonel's river." Some o the Knglish discoverers have already done that. If T. R. wants to do a lasting ser vice to his country, let him smasl jnto smltherines the candidacy o Penrose for the United States senate and "Uncle Joe Cannon" for tlx lower house of Congress.' The Hon. Ashbel G. Bryce of Ches tor has announced himself for at torney general. Mr. Bryce is a higl toned Christian gentleman and ai able lawyer of many years' exper jence. He will make a good stttoiiw general. Vice President Marshall, in hi speech at Charlotte on the 20th o May, did not "go the whole hog'' ii the matter, of the authenticity of th Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen <ionce. But the Charlotte folks wer pleased with him all the same. What about this disagreement Governor Blease was violently op posed to primary reform, The York ,ville Enquirer and Newberry Heral and News says they see no obpe< tion to the reforms made. Does thi difference mark the beginning of th parting of the ways between the go\ eruor and these papers? See the regulations governing th award of 4 0 prizes to rural school published elsewhere in this Issue. W would like to see all of the schoo of the county enter into competitio for these prizes. Superintendent < Education V. A. Dingle can furnir Ail information desired about tl matter. : i U ?> We publish elsewhere In this isst n communication from Hon. W. 1 Stevenson, member of the sta executive committee, to the vote of, Chesterffeld county. As what 1 sol well says to the voters of Cheste firtlil ?nnlles to those of Dancastf ?e publish the communication f the benefit of our people. The county Democratic executl committee will meet In the cou house Monday morning at 11 o'clo for the purpose of fixing the houn nrles of the various county precinc It has the authority to authorize t formation of new clubs if deemed a visable. The books for the enrolli of voters wil' bo furnished by t committee. This is an imports meeting and every member of t committee should attend. FOK OUH BOYS AND UIKkS. 5 Now that vacation time has com? how will the boys and girls spend it - Of course, your school books will b laid aside, for the tltne being, bn _ ! why not devote some time each da with storing your minds with vali ' able Information to be derived fro? the reading of wholesome literature An hour or so each day devoted t reading history, biagrophy and stanc ! ard novels would not only be a plea: ant recreation, dui wouia ana muc to your store of knowledge. Yout is the time for general readily j When you have finished school an entered upon the active duties of lif there will be little time for such o' A j cupation. and besides, if you do nc ic i cultivate the taste now for good read * ing, you will not do so later. Selec a few standard books and read an study them for awhile, systemuticall and methodically each day. Bu draw the line on the trashy, sensa j tional books and magazines. It wer better to read nothing than to cult! ! vate a taste for that which will de stroy the taste for good reading. BOOST IjANCASTEB. This question was propounded t us the other day: Why is it that 01 nearly every question anecung in interests of our town our citizens di ; not all pull together, but divide alom ~ personal and factional lines? Tha } this is, in a measure true, m one can successfully deny. W hope to see the time that ou people will lay aside persona i> considerations and all act fo the good of the town. It is general I ly conceded by disinterested persons 1 that Lancaster is naturally the bes - town in the Piedmont section of th state. The amount of trade don here surpases all other places of th ; same population. Our business mei s are as good as any in the state am the surrounding territory is un equalled for farming purposes. Th ^ only thing needed is for our peopl all to get together, lay aside persona and business rivalries and all pul for the best interest of Laneastei ^ We will soon have a first-class sew 3 erage system and when the remain ^ tier of our streets are paved, we wil have one of the best, up-to-dat towns in the state. So let us all gc . in line and boost Lancaster. . t We have read in The Congref , sional Record, the full text of Sen ' ator Root's speech, supporting til view of President Wilson in referenc 3! to the repeal of the section of th "! Panama canal tolls act. exemptin " | coastwise vessels of the ITnite i States from the payment of tolls. I f is logical and convincing, and to ou *' mind leaves no doubt about the coi redness of the President's position j Senator Root is uuquestiouabl i one of the ablest lawyers in this n ''any other country, particularl in hi 1 knowledge of international law 1 will bo remembered that Sennto Lodge is of like mind on this matte with Senator Root. These great It# publican senators have laid asid " their politics and voted to repeal thi clause of an act which was passe " by a Republican majority in th 11 ! senate. " i * The Hon. Richard I. Manning, cat didate for governor, is out in an intei s view with the Columbia correspei f dent of the State, explaining why h [j did not vote In the convention on th e primary reform matter. Mr. Mai _ ning's explanation does not tend t c do his candidacy much good, seems to us that he is inclined tc much to get on both sides of the p< ? liiical fence. Such an attitude i i- reference to the dispensary, soir years ago cost him the governorshi d If Mr. Manning would take the advl< v of a friend, he will quit explainir is and be more pronounced in his p> e sition on the great issues affectii r- the people. The Yorkville Enquirer, which e its last issue printed in detail tl new constitution anl rules governii " primary elections tn this suite, sa ,M editorially, "Ah we have said befoi ,n we do not see a great deal of obje )f tion to the changes that have be< lh made In the rules for the regulatli Ie of the right to vote In the primary If the York paper does not objei who can be ho bold as to do ho? ie P.
