Remember the slogan of The New*
"Au education for every white child
in Lancaster County."

Blind tigers in a community ar?
as much a menace to it as the submarines
to human life en the ocean.

"Mow would it do to intern Dr.
Dernburg?" asks The Greenwood
Daily Journal. We think a better
course would be to "turn" the doctor
out.
*
me carping critics of Secretary or
the Navy Daniels ought to hang their
heads in shame after the tine tribute
paid him yesterday in New York by
President Wilson.
*
The News sends greetings to every
public school in the county, with the
wish that teachers and pupils will
?enjoy a pleasant vacation and come
back to the duties of the fall session
determined to make next year's work
the best.
+
"Kill the fly and save the child,"
is a good slogan suggested by The
v Abbeville Medium. Adults, too^ are
saved when we swat these disseminators
of disease germs so it is necessary
to kill the fly if we would safeguard
the health of our people.

The Sumter city council recently
dismissed one of the policemen for
losing his temper while on duty and
assaulting a citizen of the town. No
man who cannot control his temper
is fit to be a peace oflicer. and the
Sumter council acted wisely when
they dismissed the otlicer.
+
The harrowing details of ?iio no*.
rible butchery of non-combatant
men, women and children by the
Germans in Belgium, as given in the
report of the committee of investigation,
at whose head was former
Ambassador Bryce, was but the forerunner
of the outrageous murder of
the innocent victims on the Lusitanfa.

i Mayor Grace of Charleston writes
Governor Manning that he has "more
jpr less surrendered the dignity of
his onice," since the governor ha-been
hammering at him to enforce
the law against blind tigers. I,ess
dignity and more aggressiveness
, dfter the law breakers on Mayor
Grace's part would be more beneficial
to Charleston.
+
We call attention to the appeal in
benalf of Belgium, written by Capt.
J. M. Hough, whose interest in the
people of litis devastated land has
prompted hint to solicit funds f<>.
tueir relief. It is said that there is
still suffering and hunger in the
stricken kingdom. Captain llouga
anneals particularly to the people ot
the county, who, we hope will respond.
as well as all others whom the
thought of suffering and famine
moves to charity.

Having observed the pleasure the
children of Lancaster are deriving
from their playground, we can the
more neartuy wish ?ne Anderson
Intelligencer success in its efforts to
inaugurate a playground in that progressive
city. The benefits of a public
recreation place cannot be estimated,
especially a supervised playground,
which is the goal towards
' which Lancaster must strive. This
may be had for a moderat sum and
the instruction it would afford, us
well as the safety of such a provision,
lire considerations worthy of the
tnought or our people. i^et's give
k the children the best advantages possible
in play as well as otherwise.

THE ISIAL EXPERIENCE. I- +
A few days ago we had the pleas
tn
~ ure of greeting a friend of former uv
viojo. *? uu is iu lilt? urug UUUUOSB. I pij
\% e remarked upon the vast Improve- | up
ments noticeable in the appearance cis
of his store, and there was a steady tin
trade all the while we were talking tei
to him. When asked to what he at- he
tributed his success, he told us the tei
history of his endeavors to build un so<
a broken down business. Ph
- About two years ago this druggist pit
bought out a bankrupt drug busi?
ness. The business had been for set
If
c years a failure; the location was not ^
. as favorable as others: and the trade ^'n
_ had never been such as to justify the unl
y average man in taking hold of the j lift
business. s'.?
: km
Our friend bought it from the re- .
ceivers; he rearranged the stock and (
lixtures; cleaned up and cleaned out j |iri
?that is. he went into every nook ^ fc
' and cranny and got the trash of ,r<1
years and swept it out the back door.
His show windows and show cases (
became as mirrors; his fountain j
drinks were delicious, his prescrip- '
tion work faultless. And yet, the r?
business did not pay. After ponder- i ^
ing the situation as any worried man 1110
will, he decided to ADVERTISE. moi
He bought a dollar space in his I ftM'
local paper. He changed ills adver- ^ ^
usemeni ea~n weew, spending gOJflj .
valuable time on writing copy. And. Ban
he told us that he was as proud of 1 |
his little space in the paper as of moi
anything he 1-ad. He said. "I owe i Itev
what success I have to that little Ii
square of newspaper space. My ' 1
business has fully justified mv faith H'n
in advertising, and these improveuients
and this rush of business are I j|aB
direct results of the advertising that I'sh
I have done for the past eighteen ; 2i
months. Had I bought half a page |
'once in awhile' and nothing more, it
would have been worthless. kt has j
been the steady, consistent, persis- I 3,
tent, keep-everlastingly-at-it adver- | tion
tising that has pill me 011 the high- tiva
road to business independence, and ! J1- '

Time was when men were more '\, r
Rev
or less timid about taking' a staud in y I
religious matters. iaven professiug j Si
Christians would shrink iroui taking i sion
the lead in religious affairs for tea:? !?yrl
that they might be criticized by tin*
world. Time has uorbed a woud-?r
t'ul change. For instance, iu New
York state the other day, at the
T1
opening of one of the session*, of* tin ,
of w
constitutional conventioa. of" which p.ir{
Hon. Elihu lloot is president, the f rist
chaplain not being present. Mr. Wool and
opened the proceedings ?u' the hodv i
. . entii
with a moot appropriate praver. | |oa
And in our own state we. have \ay- . <for
men in the different professions, I T1
some of whom are our most pmmi- * Tp
nent men, who are not ashamed to '"

tion we note that Justin* Eraser of remi
I.e state supreme court made an ad- ^flr'1'
dress Sunday in tho Baptist chexeh j j ,r,
at Abbeville .being introduued to the
audience 1?\ Chlel Justice Gary. Mis
subject was: "Why Men Sluuld Asso
Study the Bible." Solicitor It. A.
Cooper and Governor Manning have
accepted invitations to make similar Spec
address* s in the church at Abbeville H
on different Sundays during Uie -*1' p<
:ii tin
month. Sfftu
+ Mr.
The Yorkville Enquirer, in its '
tight against the proposition, to i,^ar
ciruige tlie name ot its town, cnti- pje
mates editorially that cue men. in Metl
Yorkville who are advocating tlie I |^- *
ciiange are not broad and patriotic < 8tRn
and want to "change the name of . ,.oin
their town merely for the gratijfica- chat
tion of a selfish whim." The En- ^an
quirer says it is convinced that thco j
are "sinister motives underlying the the!
proposition." This is a rather severe !
indictment of quite a number of the | h
leading men of Yorkville. whose sincerity
and patriotism have never |
heretofore been brought in question,
even by The Yorkville Enquirer.
Such men for instance, as Clerk of
Court Tate, Mayor Wilburn, C. E. ^
Spencer, W. I. vVitherspoon, W. W. j
Lewis. Thomas F. McDow, W. B.
Moore, and many others too numerous
to mention.
"Teachers should be instructors, !
i not telephone receivers," is the wlsej
remark of The Columbia ttecord. j
Too few, indeed, are the real In- I
strnctors in our schools. In many
i cases the parents do practically all |
tho teaching and the teachers( so i
. called, are merely "bearers of the
word."

THE STRIFE STIRRERS.
The strife stirrer has piled his
nde in South Carolina for quite
>hile. We all know him. His prinpal?business
is agitation, stirring
strife among the people, arraying
iss against class, claiming all the
p time, that he is acting in the invest
of the people, when in fact,
is seeking to further his own in ests.
Such men are enemies to
ietv. President Wilson, in his
iladelpliia speech, expressed his
v for such creatures when he said:
"I am sorry for the man who
ks to make personal capital out
the passions of his fellow man. He
s lost the touch and ideal ofl
lerica, for America was created to'
ite mankind by the passions that 1
and unite and not by the pasns
that separate and debase manld
