Let " hog raising" be the slogan
In Lancaster county next year.
Now is the time to be framing up
those New Year's resolution.?.
The indiscriminate pardoning
"businsess will soon be at an end.
Tlire is money for the farmer in
poultry raising. If you don't believe
it. try it.
Whose Gc.'man gun boats put
Hartlepool on the map although they
were trying to take it off.
If you have not raised hogs tiiis
year, be sure and buy some pigs and
fatten them for this winter.
The lower House of Congress was
in a figting humor Saturday, yet
there was no "blood on :"io Moon."
All users of radium in and
around Lancaster will take notice
that it Ims pnnp mi $40 nnn > or-ii?
It would be a capital idea for
every farmer's son in the county to
fatten one pig for market next fall.
The year 1914 will long Co remembered
as the time when Cole L.
Rlease was relegated forever to
oblivion.
? "Over-production is the stumb'ing
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping stone of agriculture," says
an exchange.
Now is the time for -he Lancaster
boys to reorganize their corn
clubs. We suggest that the county
demonstration agent get in behind
the boys.
It is true that the outlook is not

ft \x e remember, correctly, Lanacscor
county several years ago voted
liquor out by somtelling line 7 to 1.
We would now like to ask if those
who voted it out are satisfied with
present conditions." To be perfectly
frank, we are free to confess
that we are not.
Don't fail to make the little ones
happy at least one day during the
Christmas season. If you will but
revert back to the day of your childhood
you will remember how the
smallest little gift made you happy.
So grown-ups forget yoursetlves for a
Utile while and make the little folks
happy .
We urge upon all of our citizens
in county and town, "interested in
agricultural development." to attend
the meeting in the court house
Monday next. 4th of January proximo,
called by Mr. J. Whitner Held,
secretary of State Farmers' Union,
See the notice published elsewhere
in this issue.
The Spartanburg Herald thinks ii
strange that some "smart statesman'
did not think of putting a tax or
letters to Santa Claus as this woulr!
have solved the problem of raising the
war tax revenue. The "statesman'
would not have been wise who woulr
thought of such a thing for the rea
son that he would have soon beei
"a statesman without a job."

P. li. HARDIN.
In the dtath of Senator P. L.
) Hardin, not only has Chester county,
but the state of South Carolina,
las well, lost one of l.er nob!"it niid
(best citizens. Senator Hardin had
been in active public life for ncarlv
a Quarter of a century. He ,?cr>vd
eight years In the lowBr house of
the legislature and twelve M>ars as
senator from Chester county in the
upper house. He made his impress
upon every one with whom he came in
contact. Broad minded and conservative
he generally sized ur men and
measures according to their trim
value. But It was In 1890, when a
member of the house of representatives.
that he showed 'ho stuff out
of which he was made, lie was the
J man who in the joint assembly nut
... Iiuuiiuuiiuu K1U1K1 will \\ alio
Hampton for re-election to the ]
J United States senate and ?too,l \\i(h|
ithe small minority that went down j
villi Hampton to defeat. The Coinmhia
State, in commenting o nthis
i incident in his life well sav:;; "The
memory of that incident is a legacy
that all his kindred w">ll cherish i
! wltile their generations come and
go."
PKKArHKItK ANI) NKWSIVVPKltS.
The Florence Times, in an editorial
on "Freedom of Press and
j Pulpit," is of the opinion "Mint
i there is too little free speech all
around, that most people are too
sensitive to criticism." The Times
j says that editors are more amen|
able to criticism than all other peo|
pie, because they are used to it. In \
| this connection The Times, in com- I
, menting on the attitude of people'
generally towards criticism, sa- s:
"The ordinary man rarciv ac1
quires this imperviousuess. Tf the
person utters some criticism about
the evils of society, the parishoner
is far too apt to say that the minister
is an agitator and disturber and
should confine himself to preaching
about Jeremiah and the Nlcane
creed. If the newspaper, in all
god faith, and as a public servant
criticises a public officer, the latter
flies into a passion, stops his paper,
and threatens legal if not fistic action."
If the public would but realize .
that it is the business of al! preachers
and newspapers that ar? worth
while, to speak the truth, in soa.mn j
i and out of season, rather than
: take things as they are, content, |
if the salary til the one case, or the
j subscription in the other, is paid
regularly and let tilings drift along, ;
the ehurcli and community where
they do business, will not make
much progress.
We are publishing in t'.is is no
how much the state spends per
capita for education' m each |
county. We regret *o see Jhat
Lancaster is far be'.o.v the
I neighboring counties of Ches or,
Kershaw, Fairfield and York. And we
only beat our Neighbor across Lynch
cs Kiver by the "skin" of our teeth,
j Chesterfield spends 59.36 per capita
Ion whites while Lancaster spends
' $9.87. We have made marked im1
provement in this County in the past
; few years, but as compared with othorer
Counties In the State we have
1 scarcely made a beginning.
/\s conditions now are tne cheapest
and most profitable crop a farmer
can raise is a hog crop. With one
sow two litters of pigs can be raised
i in 14 months, which should produce
something like 2,000 pounds of meat,
, j net weight. Statistics show that
1 South Carolina imports each year
! $11,000,000 worth of hog product?,
! which could be raised at home. HulL
| letins can be furn'shed by Clemson
' College showing how to mak? pasi
tures and how to feed hogs
? From the best information we
' I can obtain the blind tigers still oon1
tinue to flourish in Lancaster. How
- long will this state of affair* b-? ali
lowed to continue without soir,? effort
being made to suppress theua?

THE LANCASTER NEW
HELP THE BE1AJ1ANS.
The old Confederate veteran
Capt. J. Matt Hough, is out in thft
miserable weather soliciting sub
scrlptions for the starving Bel
gians. This is a labor of lovo which
the old gentleman has voluntarily
assumed, and we are glad to s.iy he
is meeting with a hearty response or
the part of the people. Wo urgt
upon everybody to concentrate or
this one thing, subordinating all
other charities to the grqat appalling
one. Just think of It, 7.000.00C
old men/ women and children Co tc
fed and clothed during the rigora'ol
] the winter!
From all accounts the need it
urgent, and unless they get reliel
at once thousands of them vill die,
Lancaster has never failed *o do hei
part in any emergency Ike this,
Don't wait for Captain Hough tc
call on you, b"<t send to him by
money order or check. A little self
i denials during the season whb.ti
j commemorates the birth of Him
who gave Himself that we might
live, is all that is necessary. II you
can spare only a nirkle it will be
I that much. Remember ?he \v >rd.of
the Savior: "Inasmuch as yt
did it not unto one of the least ol
: tucsM my Dremren ye did t untc

The Rock Hill Record says "Th?
world is filled with hogs?the kind
that go on two legs. They are possibly
not as numerous as the pokers
but the last mentioned o.re so scarce
in South Carolina that they may be
lout numbered by the two legged
hogs.'" This is a pretty hard slr.m
1 on the old state. But let's try out
! level best to increase the number of
! the four-legged kind and altogether
eliminate the two-footed variety.
In view of the fact that there are
likely to be cases of need in both
town and county during the win
ter, we suggest the organization
of some kind of charitable association.
such as a relief committee,
through which money or oilier
things given, can be 'distributed.
Some such organization is absolutely
essential in order that the most
urgent cases of need may he promptly
attended to.
The whole of the South Carolina
delegation in the lower house of
Congress, including Whalev of
Charleston, voted for Mr. Hobsou's
resolution to submit the question of
nation-wide prohibition to the different
state legislatures. From this
one would judge that the prohibition
sentiment in this state is verv simn?
If the authorities will not take
some action in reference to the blind
tigers in our midst, we suggest to
those who have been patronising
tnem in the past, to make a New
Years resolution that they w II not
buy any of tjie vile stuff from them
during the incoming year. This will
rccoraplish the purpose of tunning
them out of business. For the sake
of Innocent women and children,
men, don't do business with a blind
tiger.
Injurious Kffeots of Sweets.
Henderson Gold Leaf.
An emient eye, ear, nose and
throat specialist of Richmond, Va ,
in a conversation with the writer,
gave what appears to be some excellent
advice, however hard it may he
to follow, and the latter would pass
it on for the benefit of all readers fo
the Gold Leaf who have children.
He stated that bis cxperienea as a
practitioner for a number of years
in his special field made It possible
for him to conclude posith ly that
many of the diseases and defects sj
prevalent among children are due to
the free indulgence in sweets during
the perior of young childhood and
adolescence, and that if parent?
would protect the health of theit
children and permit them to grow
up well developed with efficient bodies
and minds sweets .particular)
i and rich pastries must be withheld
from them. "Once a year is ofrer
ciiuukii ior a c.iuiu 10 nave candy.'
said the doctor. "Don't allow i
; child to have any candy. The leasi
amount of sweet put Into its stomah<
the better. If you will give It some
sweet let It be given In the form oi
a light deesert at meal time- nevei
| between meals. Never let it hav<
any meat at night, and tea and coffee
are out of the question as drlni
for a child."
(ie stated that it is the nature o
| sweets to prey upon and impair thi
tissues of the human system and tha
they seek the weakest spots: tha
the tissues lining the thoat and na
\ sal passages, being soft are vor:
fects and that a large proportion o
the cases of adenoids and enlargi
tonsils were the result of ea'tng can
dy and other sweets. He had 6U0I0
|ed hundreds of cases and had fount
I that disease and defectiveness wer
I directly traceable to this cause.
i The speaker also said that ho iiai
frequently heard the specialist wit]
whom he had been associated foi
raerly give expression to the sam
things and that he had once though
it was more of a notion of the doc
tor's than the truth?Just us s
many of the laymen still think tha

cians is simply their notiors -bti
