graded school district for tho
purpose of determining what special

?Dr. J. E. Rutledge met with a
painful accident Wednesday, resulting
in the loss of a portion of the
middle finger of the left hand. He
was engaged at the time sawing
shingles, with a small shingle saw.
The first Joint of the finger was completely
cut off.
?Miss Etta Skipper, the popular
and efficient teacher of the fifth
grade in the Central graded school,
gave the boys and girls under her
care a good time at Adams Spring,
three miles north of Lancaster, last
Saturday. They all thoroughly enJoyed
the day.
?Good rains have visited all parts
of the county, saving the grain crop,
which otherwise would have been a
complete failure. Cotton is coming
up to a stand everywhere, which
makes the crop nearly a month earl- I
ier than last year. Cotton dtd not
come to a stand last spring owing to
the prolonged drought, until about
the first of June.
?Mart Hudson, a colored man
living on Barr street, this afternoon
killed a large Coachwhip snake in
his house. wTilch measured 6 feet and
seven inches in length. Hudson
poured hot water on the reptile to
run it out of its hole and then shot it
with a shotgun. He reports that
there is another one that stays
around the place.
?The musical comedy, "The New
Minister," which was to have been
given at the opera house Tuesday
evening, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Presby
terlan church, and which was postponed
on account of the rain, will
take place at the ope* a house Monday
night. This comedy afTorded
great pleasure to those who attended
and It is hoped that there will be a
good audience to greet the home
talent at their second performance.
Good For the Boys.
In the graduating class of the
Central graded school there are
rourteen hoys and six girls. Prof.
Hand, state Inspector of high schools,
in commenting upon the fact in a
conversation with us yesterday, said
he was gratified to know it. <M1 over
the state, he said, it was the general
rule that the girls far outnumbered
the boys in the graduating classes !
Even when the hoys outnumbered the j
girls in the beglnnfng, before the
course is completed, they drop out, j
for dllTerent reasons, until the girls j
outnumber the hoys. We hope that
this is a good omen and that it means
that the boys of Lancaster are de l
termlned to make the getting of an
education come before anything else. I
The boys of today will be the men
of the future and unless they hove |
at least a good high school education
they will find themselves badly
handicapped when they get out into
life to fight its stern battles. The
business world as never before is
searching for educated men.

After EonK Illness.
Mr. James R. Mothershed or the
upper Camp Creek section, died at

He was about 56 years of age,

Watson. Mr. Mothershed was one
"t the most progressive and successful
farmers in the county. .He started
life with practically nothing, but
by habits of economy,thrift and intelligence
in the management of his
affairs, he not only made money, but
was regarded as an authority on
farming. His rule was to live at
home and keep out of debt, and although
with a large family, he managed
to live up to it. He was a public
spirited man In his community
and will be greatly missed. He wns
a member of the Baptist church for |
many years till the time of his death, j
and also of the Camp Creek Junior
Order. Besides his wife, who was
Miss Emma Watson, he leaves surviving
him nine children as follows*
Messrs. W. F., Walter, Yancey,
Samuel and Bryan Mothershod nnd
Mrs. T. W. Steele. Mrs. C. C. Greg" I
ory, Mrs. J. M. Stogner. all of this !
county, and Mrs. Lessie Crenshaw of :
South Bend, Fla. The remains v ere I
interred yesterday afternoon at j
Camp Creek grave yard, the services |
being conducted by Rev. W. K.
Hogan.
NOVEL CONCRETE DESIGN.
Mr. C. R. Hlnson Evolved Unique
Entrance to Mr. Terry's Yard.
One of the most novel designs in
concrete work that has come to our
notice in a long time is the work
done by Mr. C. R. Hinson at the entrance
of Mr. W. H. Terry's home.
Mr. Terry's lot is probably six
feet above the level of the sidewalk,
and is beautifully terraced. A flight
of concrete steps has long given entrance
to the yard from the street.
While laying the pavement along
the sidewalk adjoining Mr. Terry's
property Mr. Hinson evolved the
idea of a concealed entrance to the
vard. The earth was cut away from
the walk back Into the yard to a
depth of about five feet; a double
' ?rht of steps was built In this opening,
giving advantage of an entrance
from both sides of the yard, each
flight entering upon a concrete land'ng
from which the yard is entered
by still another flight of concrete
steps. This arrangement Is concealed
from the street by a solid rough
"tone wall about twelve or fifteen
feet long at each end of which is an
aperture leading to the steps. This
wall is Qapped with a concrete coping
'hat is in turn surmounted bv n
heavy galvanized iron railing and a
pair of concrete plant pots.
The work is indeed unique an<l j
hows that Mr. Hinson is an artist
in his profession.
MANLY J. PORTER DEAD.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. A. Porter
Dies in Charlotte.
Intelligence was received here
yesterday of the death of Mr. Manly
J. Porter, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. |
A. Porter, of the Dixie section,
which sad event occurred at the I
home of the deceased yesterday af
ternoou in Charlotte, ai ?:30 o'clock.
Mr. Porter v aa about 10 years of:
nge ami vns married some years ago
to Miss Orr of Chester county. He j
was a v.upk man of manv fiie traits
of character and was esteemed by all
who knew him. He was born and |
reared in this county, and had been
living in Charlotte for several years.
Besides Ids father and mother, he
leaves surviving him an oniv brother
Mr. Haskell Porter, and the following
sisters: Mrs. R. A. Horj;. Mrs. j
L. N. Montgomery and Misses Ellen
and Dora Porter, all whom will at- j
tend the funeral services, whic.'i will
take place in Charlotte, whor-j the
remains will be interred.
Van Wyck for Compulsory Education.
A majority of the qualified electors
of the Van Wyck school district i
have filed a petition with the clerk
of the court praying that the compul- ;
sor.v school attendance law he put in
operation in that district. The coun- I
ty board of education will act upon
the petition and the law will go into
efTect in the Van Wyck district, under
the law the second Monday in
June, 1915. Pleasant Plain school
district will be under the operation
of the law at the same time, the petition
from that district having been
the first filed. The Caston school dis- j
trict petition has not yet been filed,
but as a majority of the electors in
that district will sign for it, it will |
make the third school district in the
county to have the compulsory attendance
law. We would like to see
every school district in the county
come under the operation of the law.
Go After Them.
The city council are after the blind
tigers. Since the gallon a month 1
law went Into effect it haa been hard
for them to keep a supply of booze
on hand. We understand they are
now having the stuff transported j
from Columbia by automobiles and
men who go to the Capital City and
bring It back in innocent looking
grips, valices and other like arrangement.
Several arrests have receutly
been made. Public sentiment Is unquestionably
against booze being
sold In this community and we congratulate
the city officials on their
activity in the matter. Oo after and
spare them not.
Real KnU(? News.

the Mrs. M. H. Knight house and lot,
adjoining the Baptist church property

Sewerage for Business Houses.
It would add much to the appearance
and health of the town if sewerage
was installed in the stores and
the privies in the back lots were done i
away with. Besides being unhealthy
they are a positive menace to the
health of the town. We suggest, i
furthermore, that the Chamber of
Commerce start a movement to get a
comfortable rest room, with all con- 1
veniences and conveniently situated,
for the ladies of the rural districts.
The matter has been talked about
long enough. It is now time for
action.
