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 down the stream, contemporary, say thi somewhere about Landsford, and we ?ill Hn-n hands across the watery y, chasm with you. <> lyttrfti - n between citizens or interests. 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 inmon purpose. We believe this i y is also one of those that has irned this great lesson of co-opera- i n and general support for those 1 ings that mean good for all. hen the people are working tother anything may be accomplishAnother conspicuous example of tat can be accomplished by a com mity, as one man, standing tother for whatever would advance i interest of all, is the "Good wn," Hock Hill.

Wher you ( nk it is going up, it is just as 1 ply to go down and vice versa, e Southern Textile Bulletin, a II organ, says: ' Ap.in we have ten-criu cotton 1 many mills are having.to pay re than ten tents per pound for ir supply. i In spite of the faet that the crop rre now using exceeded in size previous crops end in spite of fact that great cotton consum: countries are engaged in i deadwar, we have seen the price of , ton steadily advance to the tenit price. "We have long ago learned that no m can teli what cotton Is going to You may study the records of > past and may wear out numerous ncils determining from statistics mt will happen to the price and out the time you have determined it it must go down it takes a turn d starts upward. "It may sound foolish but it is an solute fact as demonstrated by st experience that a flip of a coin as good a basis upon which to buy sell as the most complete statistics at can be complied. "The only exceptions to this are nes when cotton is considerably ^ v rest of production as was the u n November and December." 1 w.?yi" * > '?tyy THE LANCASTER NEWS f; * 5 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." j ? IK SERVICES NOT APPRE- * j CIATED. -r < vz W-, : ^~ * r ij 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. Ky., on the average salaries of school | 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 :ucky the average salaries rua from j 5220 up to $240 a year. In seven "ounties the average is from $240 to $260. From this they run along j ip one liberal county which pays j j 'rntli $ i I t/\ ? 'IW ll fhia hniticr t\\ ck ....o XV-B 1 lpward limit. "The average value of school buifci'- ( ngs in the Kentucky mountain re--j I fion, says the report, is correspond- I ugly low. In one county the aver--i igo value of school buildings is less"1 han $100. Some of them are of the ! og cabin variety with unglassed L sindorws. In eight counties the alue is from $200 to $.200. This C una up to one county whose lux- T irious school house cost the whole of f 1900.. .1 "A fair average, then, of the sal- ^ ry of the rural school teacher in Centucky Is $280?less than $25 per ( nonth to live on throughout the 1 ear. The average cost of the school ' lufiding is slightly over $400. ^ "The wage of the hired man who ' ooks after the horses and feeds the ' ngs is a good deal more than that. | ' "he a\ eragA cost of barns is at least -J is ftigh as that of schools.
