Our esteemed contemporary. The cf>1
Rock Hill Record, Is very much con
cerned about a certain bridge over
the Catawba river that only "pints" ?h<
in one direction, and that towards Pe'
Rock Hill. While we would like to vv^'
help Rock Hill out, in our opinion ^
it would not be good business judg- an
ment for "Lancaster county to put
this place In first class shape, al- al)
though It may cost two or three !
thousand dollars." Come further j or

at the real secret of any city's sucss

iole, dwelling upon unities rather (
an upon its differences. Says The

"No progress was ever made ,
rough factional strife and conten- (

1 communities have their rivalries
d their people are divided upon
is issue, or that problem, but un- i
?s these things are vital, and few
ch things are, the best policy is to
nitnize the incidents that offer oprtunities
for strife and 'play up'
e movements that promise co-opation
and unity of action as a reIt
of their agitation. The slightt
incident may by agitation become
great row, dividing a community
d causing its people to forget and
gleet the essential things, that
ey may exercise their spite or 'even J
' on their opporents.
"Atlanta, one of the remarkable ,
ies of the South, has been built by j
elling upon its unities. Spartanrg's
successes have come when the
ople were pulling together for a I

WORTH THINKING ABOUT. \
*
We happen to know that there are '
rubers of farmers north and east
:1 south of Lancaster that do their !
ding as a general rule at other ,
ens. Tliis trade should come to I
ncaster. What inducements ar? '
p business men offering to bring J
lere? The Salisbury Post, in call
this same matter to tlie attention j
its community, asks the question. >
'How much trade that ought to '
. e been coming to Salisbury dur- :I
the past quarter of a century is 1
ng somewhere else, and how did 1
tappen to ever get going to some v
er point?" %
A'e propound the same question to '
people. It would be hard to es- <
ate in dollars and cents what the
rchants of Lancaster lost in trade a
t winter on account of the horrible '
(lition of the roads loading into |
town. Heath Springs, Monroe j

x'o one, however wise he may ,i

at cotton will do. Wher you (
nk it is going up, it is just as 1
ply to go down and vice versa,
e Southern Textile Bulletin, a

' Ap.in we have ten-criu cotton

In spite of the faet that the crop

h MODULATING THE VOICE. * I
Training the voices ot children is ,
something which should command \
the attention or parents, as well a? j
eachers. It taken in time almost 3
any child can be trained to speak in j
natural tones. How few children |
have sweet musical voices. How J
often the good effect of a speech or 3
a sermon is marred by the speaker i 3
talking through his nose or In a ]
harsh, rasping voice, or scarcely *
above a whisper. J 5
The Ralner (Oregon Review says
"it is commonly admitted that the ?|
American voice is better calculated
to drive a herd Of hogs to pasture
than to engage in after dinner con-)
versation." Further commenting on
his matter, The Review says:
"A rough, 'rasping voice is an injury
to business success. It gives
an impression of coarseness and arrogance.
Successful men like to
carry on important conversation in a
low tone.
"The world is full of listening and
greedy ears. Overheard remarks
spread prejudice, and upset business
dealings. Yet some of our breezy
salesmen will blow into a business
office like a zero blast from cold
Medicine Hat, and shout so loud that
the clerks can hear through the thin
partitions .
"For women a loud twangy voice
Is an effective bar to society. The
voice has infinite capacities for must- {
al tone, and women who fail to culivate
it miss one of the most winome
charms of their sex.
"Some people overdo their vocal
repression, and cultivate a too low
iuho uiai in mttiueiy iu uc nrara. ?
They whisper their way through the ?
vorld to the straining ears of their ^
friends. \
"Public school teachers may well !<
Uudy the modulation of voices, and ?
correct both pupils who mumble i 3
their wo.rds, and those who use in j ^
conversation the tone that would be
suitable if your house were aflre."

Unquestionably about the poorest '
paid profession of all is that of the J
school teacher. The Augusta Chron- *
icle points out the pitiable amount
the teachers get in Kentucky. Says *
The Chronicle: '
"Figures have been compiled by
Norman Frost, of Berea College.

teachers in the rural regions of the
Blue Grass State. They have been
Issued in a recent report erf the federal
burenu of education.
"In one mountain county of Ken- j
