Corn clubs and pig clubs will do , much towards solving the problem, i c We hope that no winter campaign s in Russia will be added to the hor-[ a rors of the war. I ? Are the town officials going to ? join us in our fight to stamp out the e blind tiger evil"/ n o "Build now if you would build , * cheaply," is the excellent advice of | The Spartanburg Journal. ^ ' e We urge upon all the farmer in j d the county to attend the county ii cotton congress at the court house | n Saturday at 11 a. m. b The sad and helpless plight of a the Belgians, "the innocent by. G stander," appeals to us. Let's help this stricken people. 0 The blind tiger evil is not by any ^ means confined to Lancaster, but ' we must fight it just as the better 84 element in other places is doing. ^ Oats and wheat will he in demand next spring. It will be the part v>f u wisdom to now not only what veil need, but a surplus to sell. A It will be a matter of interest to our reader* to know what is the at-1 ^ tltude of the town council towards ( the blind tiger evil. Let's try to a find out. 01 t? ' The columns of The Lancaster ^ News are open for suggestions as to J a| the best way of ridding Lancaster tl of the evil effects of the illicit sale i w of liquor. P' le "The last 'biggest and best' county fair in South Carol'na for the ij present year will be held this week." pi We challenge the above statement ai I 8t of the esteemed Greenwood Journal. The Lancaster county fair will not be held until the first week in December, but it must be included among the "biggest and best.'' al An esteemed contemporary com- '1 ments at length upon the loss of "n n valuable feline." which, it develops, is in reality a no less valuable ani- s ma! than the gentle and useful cow. v Thfs faithful dispenser of milk and butter has a forgiving spirit or she would not have returned after hav- ! I t ing been referred to as a cat. 1 All ye prohibition'sts, who in nor- r mal times are outspoken and ag- j 1 gressive against the whiskey evil.i should lead in the fight against the |. blind tiger, for should the people be- t come disgusted with present condi- * lions and vote to license the sale of whiskey, it w?*.ll then be too late to ' cry out against legalizing the sale < of liquor. i 1 1 The following from The Salisbury j Evening Post is eminently true and 1 worthy of onr consideration: "If : we want to live in the best town in < the state the thing to do is not to more, but make the town we live in and love the beet. It will be cheaper and more satisfactory than to move, and then meet with a disappointment. A town is what Its people make It, and we can. by all pullin* together make our town the beet > going." 9 WHAT THINK YOT? In commenting, editorially, on the blind tiger evil in our town, in ii the last issue of The News, we stat- S ed that we would from time to time, c comment upo nthe subject. Lan caster is not the only community m ' the state that is confronted with this evil. Chester has had to conc tend with it. We note that the c grand jury of that county, in its re- | b port to the court now in session in S Chester, ordered paid "the ex- n penses incurred in closing the soo o'al clubs," and in the same con. uection said, "We wish to thank the n Civic League for the encouraginent n given in the matter of social clubs." e Abbeville and Anderson also have ' tl been taking steps to suppress the j ^ illicit sale of liquor. The citizens j 0 uf Columbia, numbering 125, twelve n of whom were ladies, met the a ty council Wednesday, urging that something be done to suppress the ^ mil, with tlie result that the council 11 agreed to go ahead and do somehiug. Mr. P. II. McMaster, state in- s( surance commissioner, one of the v onunittee of citizens, in closing his remarks, said, "If the council is in u favor of uon-inforcement of the " uws, we want to know it. If a tuaiojrity of the people are in favor of ? n iuc upcii iun 11, ?i' warn 10 Know j jr t. It" so we will start a missionary ' g rampaign.'' "No city can be great ,1' iml glorious," lie declared, "unless is t obeys the laws of Cod and of ^ nan." Dr. Murray, a druggist, rc- n narked, "that council was elected S ,o look after these th'ngs. Knforce '' 0 he law. or let us have some men f( icre who will enforce them. If we o< rannot have a clean city, we want hi 0 know the reason why." At the V I \\ (inclusion of the meeting the coun- f,, il passed the following resolution: "Be it resolved. That the chief f police be, and he is hereby, in- j Q tructed to enforce rigidly all laws ind ordinances of the city, and all M lificers of the police department n< ound neglecting tha'r duty may ex- til >ect to have charges preferred ai gainst them in the manner provid_ i tli d by law; and further that the real A ames of all offenders and violators 1 at f the law be placed on the docket th t the police station." ed What is being done in Abbeville, trp inderson, Chester, Columbia and lsewhere, is what we want to see de one in Lancaster. What we have 1 mind, da to arouse public senti- ' lent to the fact that many of our (n est people believe that the town of ije .cncaster is suffering, in all prob-'tif bility, more from the blind tiger ' vil than ever before in its history m, i*e know that the vast majority of w< ur citizens are uncompromisingly lo pposed to the existing condition of !HI 1 s ffairs and all that is necessary to ^ top it is for this class of our citi- to jns to make their Influence felt and , an ir those whose dutv it is to enforce ( j $ le law to do so w? th vigor and de- ; wj >rmination. tr< In regard to the attitude of the dil >wn newspaper toward the evil. The an nderson Intelligencer, in a recent ^ isue, spoke as follows: ha "The Intelligencer has not shrunk sat 'om performing its full duty in 1 lese premises and the presence of M newspaper having courage to be j utspoken against the evil condi- f'i ons which have heretofore been mdoned by the press !n this city, Bt as, we believe been a factor in rousing this sentiment. Of course I i lere are those who will not agree ith the position taken by this pa- So er. and there are others, doubtss. who feel that as a newspaper e might have done our duty with- 7 nt espousing any cause. But The itelligencer feels that a true news. Ift ?per never hesitates to speak out ad let the people know where it Bt ands." We call upon all of our citizens ' ' i calmly and cooly consider le situation and take steps j > rid our town of a condition of ffairs that is a disgrace to any ' [immunity. These are our senti uTiiiH. >v iini are yours ; :rnis is rmr town and you cannot escape a th [tare of thf responsibility in the ; ork of lettering conditions he?-e. I ^ BRING IT BACK. pa We. refer the following item from i he Rehobeth correspondence to 'he Waxhaw Enterprise to the mer- ! .| hants of Lancaster, who are sure o be interested: "Twenty bales of cotton from vlthln Ave miles of Lancaster passed lere Saturday en route to the Wax- ** law market. How's that, Lancaster |n ' Jews?" 'a It is not as it should be for every sale of cotton raised in Lancaster j county can and should be brought to M Lancaster. The home market is the ! r< place to bring the staple and when ^ it goes elsewhere, there is some-! ai thing wrong. What's the matter? j a< Let the Chamber of Commerce and j every other agency unite in bringing 1 lf back all who have strayed from the (tl fold of our cotton market. 1 It | tl The readers of the comic supple-; rt ment are lamenting its dlscontlnu. a ance from so many of the dailies, | a but to our mind it's "an ill wind," j r; or more properly speaking "the sil- ' ^ ver lining to the war cloud. I j. THE LANCASTER NEWS, COL. SIMUXHS OPTIMISTIC. Tint following .interview, .uppgar-J. up in the last Issue of the Chester emi-Weewly News, is full of good, hecr and oncourapement: "Col. Leroy Springs of Lancaster. i in the city today. He is optimis- i Ic and soon looks for a change for j he better In Hit present day gloomy omtnorcial conditions. He is un-| ertain as to the time that he will | e able to start work again at the pringstein mill, but the Eureka till .which is running night and ay, is caring for the former mill's mployes. " 'The fact is,' lie said, 'we need lore help in the spinning depart, lent at the Eureka and can give mployment to quite a number of tfdit'onal people.' lie stated that e had orders considerably ahead n the white goods at the Eureka ; till." Colonel Springs, we all know to ^ e a man of affairs and sound judglent. He knows business condilons as well as any man in the tate. as his Interests are large and aried. / The following editorial comment pon the interview, from The flock fill Herald of yesterday, is also of itcrest: "Col. Leroy Sprfngs of Lancaster i an optimist. At least, optimistic] ! the tenor of e.n interview recently '< iven out by Colonel Springs in hester. Doubtless the Colonel has Iways been an optimist, as optimiin is necessary to success, and he i one of the most successful busiess men in the state. Colonel j prings says business is good with j is cotton mills, that they have all rders that can possibly bo tilled ; >r several months to come. Of jurse, the man who has plenty of usiness is bound to be optimistic; ut. perhaps, the fact that Colonel >rings has the orders is due to the ict that ho is an optimist." Ablieville Hits the Tiger. reenwood Journal. Abbeville has taken hold of the Ker proposition, and according to! E>wspaper reports, she is cleaning lem up. This is a good work. We e glad to know that she has joined ie crusade that is being waged by nderson and ovher towns in the ate. We note with pleasure that e mayor of Columbia has been ask1 to take n hand and judging from s reply we take it that he will soon >t busy and look after the tigers in at city that are sa'.d to be open and >flant . We hope that this is the beginning __ law enforcement that will be most ? artily entered into by every town South Carolina, and that it will carried on until not only the blind ters, but lawbreakers of all deriptions will see that the only !ng for them to do is to toe the ark. There Is no reason in the jp irld why blind tigers should be alwed to carry on their nefarious siness in any community. All that M necessary is to give them to un_ T1 rstand that those whose duty it is gj enforce the law mean business, j a tney win close out immediately. i ip rule heretofore has been for the ' M rers when caught to !ntlmidate the Fi tnesses, and get out without anv\i table, and go right on with their rty work, hut they have not been j le to play this game in Anderson j d Abbeville. They are running up M ainst new propositions that they ve not been able to handle to their j p? tisfacMon. i st I'LL SHOW 'KM, nURN 'KM." j "C W re stopped the paper, yes I havw, jj, I d'dn't like to do it, la it the editor he got too smart, i e And I allow he'll rue it. j am a man who pays his debts, | xi And will not be insulted. when the editor getu smart ! ,jf I want to be consulted. jyf j T1 took the paper 'leven years 1 ftt And help him all I could, sir, rt? it when it comes to dunnln' raeI didn't think he would, sir, f>< it that he did and you can bet or It made me hot as thunder; lays, "I'i stop that sheet, I will. n{ If the doggon thing goes under."
