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?

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.
