To the Editor of The News: 11
La grippe or some kindred trou- j a
ble has kept your correspondent out 1
of The News for quite a while and v
now my condition will not allow me i 11
to claim that I am myself again. a
Uni.-n . I am ninali liuttor anil
hope to be able to furnish short let- j
ters for your columns from now on. j 1
Your late -4 page issue furnishes j'1
a base for matter that should and i 11
will no doubt interest Lancaster | a
county from center to circumference.
Take, for instance, your edu- J
cational outlook. The advance un-! '
der that head is not much short of a
100 per cent within the last two s
years and estimating the facilities n
now in operation the work will go '
forward by leaps and bounds. I
said sometime ago that Mr. Linglc s
was the right man in the right place. '
His report is to the point and his 1
recommendations, so far as possible. s
i should be carried out. Prof. Wes-;
singer, I have no doubt, is a good '
man and will till his office to the sat- '
Isfaction of all concerned. j x
I must acknowledge that compul-j^
sory education strikes me as imprac- ''
ticable. It is coming more in favor 1
and our best people are advocating 1
the law. The point I make is, that
it cannot be enforced. A parent ?
claims that their children should r
obey and follow their bidding and i >
hence when the lawmakers exact J
school attendance and the parents I
say go work in my vineyard (farm), (
, .vho are expected to obey? Most 1
parents (all in fact) want their H
; children at school but they believe
they must have them on the farm to \
make bread. I hesitate to go on ;
record as opposed to education o?i .
any terms and I am not, but to carry ^
out the provisions of such a law i
| (compulsory education) is not fully '
i. realized. I will add a word more ;
f and that is, kee, up your advance, 1
^ i using the best means available and i
) ) your reward is sure. i
Your city has a good lire depart- '
ment, it strikes me, and when we 1
consider the advantages of water- 1
! works (in case of fire) you measure x
up with niucn larger cities.
Mr. Luther Ellison seems to be a c
j "live wire" and a strong advocate of [(
the up-build of your city. Keep him '
at work and he will land you over'1
the shoals. 1 am sorry that 1 can
not claim a personal acquaintance 1
with Mr. Ellison, but his push and '
activity is apparent to all beholding |
his works. ' t
I see Charlie Jones' picture (it'i
does not strike me as I saw him 1 >
last) a wide-awake progressive busi- j j
ness man. Such characters build up 1
a town. Drones are no good. Only I t
.active, live workers, such as my I
friend Charlie, are worth anything 1
3 towards building up a community. 1
I often refer to Col. Leroy Springs ?
to illustrate what I now have in '
hand. Pew men could take hold j \
where he did and succeed. Under j
all the circumstances his success has | j
been phenominal, and Lancaster can- | ,
not afford to do without him. Just j
minK 01 wnat ne has in hand (on s
his shoulders and brain,) president t
of the Bank of Lancaster, Lancaster '
Cotton Mills (huge plant), Lancaa- i
er & Chester Railway Co., Lancaster t
Mercantile Company and several , (
other institutions out of the county, |
to say nothing about his real estate ,
holdings, in and out of the county, >
which requires thought and business (
sense to manage. All these enter. ?
prises are well managed and making (
money. I tell the Colonel he is over j
working himself and I believe if lie t
does not let up it will tell (prematurely)
on his health. t
Before I quit talking on this line.
1 want to introduce the editor (Miss ,
Juanita Wylie) of The News and express
what I believe, that is, that
she deserves much credit for the
success and growing condition of
your city and county. She has con- ,
victions and reasons therefor and is ,
not afraid to defend them. Her editorial
issues are pointed and full of .
good suggestions. Keep her pushing
the quill.
Mrs. D. A. Williams and myself
are too old to be "monkeying" with
cows. I hope her wound is not giv- i
ing her trouble (such as I exper- f
ienced,) but that she is herself j
again. i
Pr. Steele of Columbia recently f
had something to say on the subject (
of woman suffrage that all advocates j
who would legalize woman suffrage >
I
1
liould read and ponder well. The j"
rticle follows:
"I am opposed forever and forver
to the monstrous proposal to
npose the burden of political duties
n the thousand of good women who
re the real home builders of our g
tate and who do not want the ballot
ist to gratify the restless and dis- ^
mtented women who imagine they v
m bring in the millennium by golg
to the polls. The woman who t
lake a good home does the highest t
ork for this world which it is pos- v
c
il>l*> for a woman to ilo and sho
un't make a good home and play the j t
olitician." Following I)r. Steele's a
rticle, allow me to inquire how wo- ?
len (voters) will deport themselves, j
ssembled with men on the eve of j
n election, making up their fa- 1
orttes, or how they will feel. The |
len liquoring, smoking and chewing | J
ml off "Mi using cuss words. Will t
lie women fall in line and be active r
rorkerg (do like the men?) FMc- r
ure the scene and decide whether I
s
t would be nice for refined ladies to j ^
less up with the voting masses or
ttend to children and home duties. ! J
I want to call up the fact that *
our court was presided over by a g
.ancaster boy (Tom McDow) and I s
in assured that his charge to the;
rand jury and other matters con- '
.1
ected with the proceedings of the j t
ourt were sensible, dignified and ,
id him much honor. Later I saw it .1
tated that another Lancaster boy s
Harry Foster) had been appointed
by proper authorities) a judge for; f
pocial work, which I have no doubt I
ras well done. Harry is a brainy 1
ellow and will m uisare up to the
"uirements. These voting men do i
our county much honor. Hrnost t
doore, also Lancaster man. >s
. town as a profound lawyer and it J
s believed he will head the judiciary
a the state before a great while.
"Watch the young Lancaster men
trow." 1 was struck, when the 1
ourt and lawyers moved to adjourn
our court until summer, the grand | '
ury dessenteu and exercised their 1
irerogative (as I suppose they ran [
lo) and continued the court, pay or ,
10 pay. 1 would like to know if |
luch is law. j ,
I want to say a word and endorse <
vhat has been sai 1 touching the life ! .
iml character of my old friend,
lohn VanLandingham. John was a t
rood fellow t1 knew him as a boy ;
ind as a man.) lie possibly had I
aults (we all have,) but his virtues
(bounded and were shown in all r?-_ I
ations of life. He was raised 011 tit" 1
arm and was not afraid of work? ' j
nade a full hand. His business 1
areer is an open hook. He was j 1
lonorable and high toned in his ]
msiness dealings and never charged 1
vith fraud or . ungentlemanly deal- j i
ng. Colonel Brem told me not long 1 <
ifter he commenced business in I
'harlotte that he was more spright 1
y and promising than he had esti- <
nuted, consequently his success, as
1 business man, was assured. His
amily have my deepest sympathy. ! 1
?eace to his ashes. 1
Other deaths, 1 call to mind, and j 1
vould be glad to inform your readers
of their characteristics as they '
vere estimated and known by me 1
ears ago, but it would extend this ,
etter beyond proper bounds. 1 1
nean by other deaths. Mr. Wiley
orter, Thomas Hunter, George
fones and Phillip Cauthen, all good, |'
oyal citizens and I hereby extend
lympathy to all surviving relatives '
Truly pneumonia has done its deadly '
vork in your county. 1
I believe the recent advance in the |
>riee of cotton will result badly. It
vill certainly induce a large acreage 1
>lanted this year and less grain. If
such a course does not work badly
hen many phophets are deceived, j
The idea and advice from all sides
s raise less cotton and more grain
ind stock. We can all turn Jew and ;
iuit eating hog or swine and there- |
jy save on the meat line?See Leviticus
XI chapter, 7th and "8 th
verses, "And the swine, though he
livie the hoof and be clovenfooted, j
vet he cheweth not the cud, he is iit>.
lean to you. Of their flesh shall ye j
lot eat and their carcass shall ye not ,
ouch, they are unclean to you."
Miss Kditor, is there anything in i
his idea, think you?
Charlotte is to be congratulated. ;
[ refer to the automobile plant t
.vhich they are to have. It is regarded
as assured. The Colonel, no
loubt, forgot to put in Lancaster's
daim for the factory. He will come j
n later and as he can make a prevailing
argument, things will happen.
Kind regards to relatives and
riends. J. W. TWITTY.

White Man With Black Liver.
The liver is a blood purifier. It
vas thought at one time it was the
leat of the passion. The trouble i
vith most people is that their liver
>ecomes black because of impurities
n the blood due to bad physical
dates, causing biliousness, headache,
lizziness and constipation. Dr.
king's New Life Pills will clean up
:he liver, and give you new life.

of the Meeting.
i'o the Editor of The News:
Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, Mr.
ind Mrs. Tovn McXey, Master Clarence
McKey, the Rev. Allen Wilson,
pastor of the Christian church, and
myself left Valdosta in the McKey
?ar to make the trip by auto to
Americus to attend the Georgia
state Sunday School convention. The
rip was a delightful one. We had
11 abundance of luneli and milk,
look the trip easy, stopped for a
short time in Moultrie, Camilla,
ibany and several times to eat. The
roads were the very best and bespoke
i prosperous country. We enjoyed
;lie woods in their unusual beauty at
this season, the grain fields, the
peach orchards, and the pecan
sroves too large for the eye to see
ill of any one at one time. We were
specially pleased to see the old red
liills and the red oak trees again.
We reached Americus, convention
city, at 2:20 p. m., ready for the
opening session at 11:30. The
writer was fortunate in having for
ner nostess, Mrs. j. a. noiton, wno
lived three doors from the Methodist
church, the home of the convention.
Americus gave such hospitality as
only Americus can give. ,Eight hundred
names had been sent in but
1.500 official delegates registered
and 50(i visitors attended. Though
Americus was somewhat taken by
surprise, every delegate was welcomed
and given a comfortable home.
Americus is one of the foremost
cities of that section of Georgia and
is progressive indeed. The city and
all she owned was at the disposal of
the convention.
The theme for the convention was

l v ' t
The sessions were a. m.' 6-7;
0-12:30; lunch and conference 1-2;
p. in. 2:30-4:30, and 7:30-10. In
as much as the auditorium could not
seat all of the delegates, an over\
1
tlow meeting was always planned for
the Baptist church. There was touch
prayer and manifesting of the Holy
Spirit. While all of the speakers
were good, we appreciated most Mr.
John L. Alexander, secretary d'.vislor
superintendent of the International
Sunday School Association, a man
who has accomplished much in .lie
Boy Scout movement. It was his
subject matter?boys and gifls of
the 'cen age?that appealed to us.
He is a magnetic leader and a wonderful
teacher. We hope that he
helped us that we may help others
u the conferences of the First Presbytery
during the summer. His subjects
were "The Home and the Sunday
School," "Religion and the
Teen Age," "Sunday School Organization
for the Teen," "The Challenge
of the State of Georgia," "The Organized
Class." Some other splendid
features of the program \yere:f
"The Modern Departmental Sunday
School," by Mr. A. M. Caldwell; "Increasing
the Attendance Through an
Attractive Program," Mr. V. L. Mallary;
"Teaching Boys," Rev. W. T.
Smith; "The Sunday School and
Service," Mr. J. J. Eagan. But the
entire program was excellent.
The music was a decided feature.
Prof. E. O. Excell, the famous Sunday
school song writer, assisted by
I'rof. Alviu W. Roper, waa in charge.
lTn<ler the leadership of these skilled
musicians, the large audience thoroughly
enjoyed the song services.
We regretted that we could not
remain for the third day of tho convention,
but business called us but k
to Valdosta. We left Americus at
s::io Thursday morning, made a
thirty-minute rest at Albany, Camilla,
took time to speak to a classmate,
Mrs. Wilkinson, who was Miss
Alice Beckham of Riverside, at Pelham,
and reached Thomasvllle in
time for our dinner. We enjoyed
riding over this beautiful old town.
The next refreshments were at Quitman.
We reached Valdosta at 6
o'clock in the afternoon. All told
we had traveled 288 miles.
Early in our journey, Mrs. McKey
and I found that we had many mutual
friends. She had visited once
at the home of Mrs. Martin Crawford
of Lancaster, in Rock Hill, and
in Itichburg. Her mother was Miss
Ivey of Lancaster county an:l she
has many relatives in that section
of the state.
