Ti'Ksn.w. novkmukk io. iiiii.
Swat the blind tiger.
He is an enemy to soetoty.
He should not be tolerated in
Hancaster.
If we are to have a clean city,
let's get busy.
The pessimist should plan for a
visit to the county fair. It will do
him good.
The paragraphs in Tho State are
good, as always, but we miss the
Aftermath.
There was never a more propitious
time for reorganizing the Boys'
Corn Clubs.
Don't forget that the "Buy a Bolt
of Cotton Cloth" movement is a very
important one.
Clothing merchants and coal '
dealers probably welcome the sudden
drop in temperature .
If the sentiment of the town is
against the illicit sale of whiskey,
the blind tiger is bound to go.
You have made your money at
liome and it is therefore your duty
to spend it among your own people.
We'd be glad to welcome a few
Belgians to Lancaster county ii
they'd promise to raise other crops
than cotton.
The good weather still continues
We urge upon our farmers to Like j
advantage of it and continue to sow
grain and cover crops.
Every payment, however small 1
you make on a debt will help your
creditor to do likewise. So help
along the "P&y-a-I)ebt" movement
all you can.
"If the time spent in talking hard
times were spent in working to make
times good we would all be too busv i
to worry," is the happy suggestion
of The Florence Times
We were glad to see the trash collector
gathering up papers on the
streets Saturday and we hope the
town will keep him on the job. It's
a good work which should go on con- j
tinually.
Remember that under the cotton ;
acreage reduction law a farmer!
ran only plant next year one-third ,
of his whole crop In cotton. So
that for every three acres of grain ,
sow n this fall you can plant one acre
of cotton next spring, in addition to
one acre for every three acres of
crops planted next year.
See trespass notice published else-1
where in this issue. Under the lew:
no notice is required to be given
All land Is what Is commonly called
"posted" without notice and all persons
entering thereon without the
consent 01 me owner commit a I
criminal offense for which they can

So absorbed have many readers
became in the horrible details of
the world war that they probably
have f&led to notice that the
assassin of the Crown Prince
and Princess of Austria. who
was the immediate cause of
the awful conflict, received as his
punishment a sentence of twenty
years in prison. "America is not the
only country lr '"h justice Is
queered," is tve torv Lent of The
Columbia Kecoru upon this verdict.
i r r r ' ' "" *
I.I'. I .-? UM
l)o the citizens of tho town of Lan|
caster realize that the illicit sale of
i liquor within the corporate limits
j of the town is going on to an alarming
extent? lielieving such to be
| the case, and realizing the truth of
| tho saying that "what's everybody's
| business is nobody's business," we
i have determined that The News will,
from time to time, comment editor;
ially upon tho condition of things,
until tho Illicit traffic in liquor is
brought to an end. We have as
good people in our town as in any
community in the state, the great
majority of them being professing
Christians, and why present conditions
are permitted we are at a loss
to know. Wo are satisfied that
there is plenty of good, moral public
sentiment against the evil, and
I that all that is needed is for it to
crystalize and to use a common
phrase, "there will be something
doing."
Tile Anderson Intelligencer man
gurated a crusade in that citiy against
the liquor evil with the result that
in a very short time, the city authorities
got busy and tne blind tigers
were rdn out of the community. We
call upon all the forces for good iiy
this town to marshal themselves
against the blind tigers, both white
and black, and compel them to tit
up shop or leave the community.
The evil effects of the traffic ww can
see all about us. We see upon our
streets every day. moral and' physical
wrecks, who out foiy liquor
would have been good, useful citizens.
But while we lament and deplore
it, we are doing nothing to stop
it. If a wild and ferocious animal
some night should break into
the town and carry off one
of our many bright little boys,
wo would all to a man be
up in arms and hunt him down.
The blind tigers of Lancaster are
doing much more harm than a real
live lion or bear, for they are insidiously
baiting to their lair not one,
but many of our brightest and best
boys. Men and women of Lancaster,
in the church and out of the
church, we call upon you to fight
against the evil that is rife among
us, and make our town what the
best element want, a clean, moral
community.
CJO AFTER THEM.
We have every reason to believe
that the blind tigers are operating
more boldly in Lancaster than ever
before. We therefore urge upon our
city council to take some steps to
warns stumping out tms evil in our
community. The city council of
Anderson has taken the evil in
hand in that city with Rood effect.
Wo commend to our city fathers the
fo.lowing editorial from The Anderson
Intelligencer on the subject:
"Suppose that during last night a
wild tiger should have come up out
of the Seneca river, and have attacked
and carried off a little boy living
on the outskirts of Anderson. Th<? '
grief of the parents would be pitiful,
and there would hardly be a man
left in the city till this beast had
been hunted down and killed. Suppose
that in spite of their efforts, the
same tiger should come back tonight
and terribly maim one of the
bright fair-haired little girls that
had been playing with her compan- (
ions on the lawn. Tomorrow morning
the efforts of the citizens of An- \
derson, and doubtless of the entire
eommunitly, would all be directed
towards finding and killing this wild
animal that had brought sorrow and
grief to two homos. The mental picture
of the mangled corpse of the
hoy and girl would be enough to j
drive to desperation those who contemplated
it.
"Men of Anderson: A much
worse deadly enemy to the, life and
happiness of your boy and girl has
been committing depredations in
your city. The victims have been
and are to be. not one or two boys
and girls, but scores of as bright and
pretty little boys and girls as any 1
today who go tripping to school. I
or playing round the fireside.
This is not a beast, from the j
jungle but one in human guise
who lures your boy to a dark
room up stairs. perhaps, and
there fills him with stuff that will
not only kill as surely as does the
wild beast, but will destroy as well
his immortal soul. The call goee out
to come to his rescue, and save him
from his awful fate. Are you "men \
to heed not the call? Will you alt
by and see the "hunt" go on and
have no part in it? Do you fancy
that your boy is safe and that It Is
only a few who are going to be
caught and lured to their ruin, and
that somehow your son will escape?
"This matter of putting a stop to
the sale of liquor illegally in the city
of Anderson is no child's play, and
it is a task In which every citizen
who has the welfare of the city and
of his children at heart should engage.
There should be no persecution
of those engaged in thin illegal
traffic, but it should be stopped by
peaceful means if possible, but by
the strong arm of the law is necessary."
"Augustans back from the Pacific
slope say the Republicans there
want Mr. Taft renominated." is the
information offered by The Augusta
Chronicle, which paper in probably
quite happy in the thought of such
a "come back." Rut the genial ex
President in not a figure to be.reckoned
with again in nationul politics.
THE LANCASTER NEWg
ST It K FT PAVING.
Chesterfield avonue is so much im,
proved by the paving of its sidewalks
that it should be a good ex,
ample to the other residence districts
of the towu. Not only have
the residents in this attractive street
responded well to the offer of the
town to pay half the cost of paving. |
but many of them have in addition
paved the long walks leading to
I their front doors. Beyond the four [
feet of paving there is room on the j
inside as well as the outside for
I
grass plots, which a number of the]
property owners are going to have |
next spring. The street already has
ho;Ult it 111 t u*hl/?h t? l? !
.. www, ..... V?? vx/^vvuvi n IVII j
. the grass add so much to the beauty I
I of our residence streets.
We hope a friendly rivalry will
arise and that every section of our
town will vie with every other section
in striving for the best appearing
neighborhood and the best-kept
street.
We hope therefore that as they'
shall yet be given opportunity, the i
gooij people of Lancaster will puve
their sidewalks, then help the Civic
L'feague with its grass and tree plant- i
,ing, all working together for a more,
attractive looking town. If we work
1 hard this winter, by the coming
spring and summer we will be per-1
mitted to see a wonderful transformation.
Lancaster can be changed
from a "Town Slothful" to a "City j
| Beautiful."
.
; THK PAKTY STILL IN POWER.
The recent election furnished no i
I ground for discouragement to the
1 Democratic party. It is true that
1 the party's majority in the House of
Representatives has been greatly
reduced, but there is still left a good
| working majority, while the majority
In the Senate has been Increased.
It is cause for gratification that the .
Democrats still retain control of all
branches of the government, for the
truth is it was solely because of the
split in the Republican party two
years ago that the Democrats won.
It will be remembered that President
Wilson, when elected,? did not receive
a majority of the total vote.
The country will have two more
years of Democratic rule, which
means that President Wilson will
have enacted into laws the remaining
planks in the Democratic platform.
We call attention to the second'
letter of Cadet Walter S. Cauthen,
son of Mr. James A. Cauthen of Dry
Creek, in this issue of The News.
Mr Cauthen is taking the agricul-1
turnl course at Clemson and his.
letters are interesting, especially to
those interested in farming.
Remember that under the law no
farmer can plant next year more;
than one-third of his entire crop in j
cotton. So that the more grain |
that is sown this fall, the more cot-1
ton can he planted next spring.
Our Responsibility.
The effort to be made in Salisbury j
to raise money for the Red Cross Is j
most commendable. The winter will j
perhaps be the heaviest call over
made on the people of the nation for
donations to relief work, for the i
American people must face their i
solemn duty in taking the heavy portion
of the burden in world-wide re-j
lief work. The Belgian people are
facing starvation, yes thousands of
them, and we must meet our respon-j
sibility and help generously. It will
not be simply a case of donating a
few pennies and forgetting it, but it
will he the hard serious task of
meeting a great and serious responsibility,
world-wide responsibility
which will test our very character as
a nation in the meeting.?Salisbury
