The jury did not have the "nackbone to find him guilty of murder and eased their conscience by declaring him insane. + The Charlotte Observer says, "The fcusiness of keeping history straight f? a large contract," and then proceeds to muddle the matter of the place of Andrew Jackson's birth. In an effort to counteract the force of a statement of The Florida Independent of St. Petersburg, Fla., to the effect that "near the North Carolina line Andrew Jackson was born," The Observer says it is well for the Florida paper to remember that "it was in this state (North Carolina), near the South Carolina line, that 'Old Hickory' sained his first impressions of terrestial life." As proof, conclusive, to the contrary, we refer our esteemed contemporary to the last will and testament of Andrew Jackson himself, the original of which is doubtless on file at the capitol of the state of Tennessee, in which "Old Hickory" makes the solemn statement that South Carolina was his "native tate." K 9 I WILSON* ANI) IIRYAN. -H t f ^ I The Washington (Ga.) Reporter expresses our sentiments exactly about Mr. Bryan when it says: "President Wilson has no warmer admirer than the editor of tills paper. > and our admiration and support ante-j dated the Baltimore convention. He ! is making one of the very greatest! Presidents this country ever had. and 1 the man who helped make him this, but has never been forgiven for it. " c aiDU auiuii r <11111 its <111 1 tuna ii-ty as the President himself admires him." It was our good fortune to be present at the Baltimore convention I and witness the great fight Mr. | Bryan made for progressive democ- j racy. But for his efforts Speaker i (Mark, who was acceptable to the Wall street crowd headed by Murphy and Ryan, would have been nominated by tlie convention and defeated t in the election by Roosevelt or some i other Republican. Mr. Bryan, al- , though from a state which had instructed its delegates for Clark, I when it developed that the Speaker j was with the wrong crowd, had the manhood to get up and say so and i announce that he had decided to take j the responsibility of casting his vote i for Wilson. This was the beginning of the end. Up to this time Clark had polled a majority of tlie votes of the delegates, but not the two thirds required by the rule. So there j is no questioning the fact that but tor William Jennings Hryan the . ountrv would not have for its President Woodrow Wilson, and no one knows and appreciates it more than the President himself. - !K 4; "I U1 II IN MY I lil.l.OW MUX." 4Mr. Lyman Xhhott, editor of The iloek, ha- just completed in that periodical his "Reminiscences." Muring this period, though never a candidate for political honors, he has nevertheless been a keen observer of the trend ot politics. It is encouraging. as well as refreshing to see how much faith the venerable scholar and theologian has in his fellow man. in* nus 11,111 personal a ri| ua i n la nee with eight Presidents?from Grant 011 down to Wilson. After mentioning these, lie says: "I have known enough of other men in public life?-senators, representatives, governors, mayors, and their subordinates?to know that while some politicians are unscrupu- I Ions self-seekers in America as in I other countries, America has her share of public men as true, as pure, as self-denying, as are to be found 1 anywhere in the world." He evidently, like Lincoln, be-1 lieves that whilst you may "fool some of the people all the time and \ all of the people sometime, you cannot fool all the people all the time," as evidenced by the following: "I have faith in my fellow-men. I believe in their honesty of purpose and their competency of judgment. I have seen them take up great matters of national policy, one after another, and decide them aright, sometimes overriding their leaders In so doing. * ? ? My faith in my fellow-men has been strengthened by my lifelong study of our national life. The evils from which we have suffered have been caused, not by too great a trust, but by too great a distrust of the people; and I repeat again as my well-considered conclusion, what I have often repeated in public speech: Tiie remedy for the ills of democracy is more democracy." The Greenville Piedmont draws this conclusion from Dr. Abbott's estimate of the people: "The way to prevent mistakes on the part of the people is to appeal j to them in the view that they are honest, well meaning and intelligent, that what they need fv.d desire is light and discussion, and that after such they can be relied upon in the : great majority of cases to reach a I just and proper conclusion. That is democracy." 4 Last Monday one year ago, an 18year-old Bohemian youth by the name of Gavrio Prinzip, fired the shot which ushered in the most disastrous war of all times. The assassination of the heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne and his wife was bad enough, but already the lives of millions of men have been sacrificed and the end is not yet. The assassin, under the j Austrian law, was too young to be put to death and is now serving a | 20 years sentence in an Austrian ' prison. But the causes which led to the war lie far back of "the shot ! heard round the world." 4 The Anderson Mail save: "It is much better to be a school teacher In Anderson county than a member of the legislature from Greenville county." Wo move to amend by striking out the words "Greenville" > and "Anderson" and inserting in lieu thereof the word "any" so that same I shall, when amended, read as follows: "It is much better to be a; school teacher in any county, than & member of the legislature from any , county." i THE LANCASTER NEWS, |i:jcioioioiotiMcioioioioii*iiioioioicioioioii^j[ WHAT A C11RL, DID. ^ A young girl Living in Denver Colo., whose father failed in business just about the time she expected to enter college, had her heart set on getting a good education. Adjoining the house where the family lived there was avacant lot. The thought I occurred to her that there was i money in raising chickens. So she ' purchased forty hens and on this lot | she made enough clear money to pay 1 her expenses through her freshman | year in the Colorado Agricultural 1 College. Her success in the poultrybusiness was due ia a large measure to her business management. Her advice to others was: "Sell only to private families; have j regular customers; give your chickens the best care; supply them with j wholesome food; keep accurate accounts." What this young girl did, any other girl or boy can do. They need not, necessarily go into the chicken ' business, for there are other occupations that will yield an income. What is of paramount importance is to have an ambition in life. There are no obstiealos in the wnv fr? nro. --- _ vent any boy or girl in South C'aro- t llna, no matter what may be their limitations, from acquiring an edu- ? cation. Many free scholarships are T open, in many of the institutions of learning in the state, which go almost begging every year. The trouble is there are too many narnby- on pamby, ilooless girls, and lazy, trifling boys to take advantage of the splendid opportunities offered them. I'.ut there are maiiv exeontlons to tho ' to rule. We have in mind several boys ,.0 and Kirls in this county who have Ite forged ahead of those who were more favored, anil have done honor to themselves ami their families. + ;;r < i) wi Mr. Luther Kllison, our wideawake, hustling, optimistic secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, has been distributing small buttons to be pinned on the breast with the nit above caption printed thereon. The sel "Get Together" spirit is what the 110 people of every community need to have uppermost in their minds. If there are petty jealousies, business to] rivalries. Keeping some ot the people or away from others, It will work incal- m< eulable injury. The fault-finding. critical spirit, always works harm. The fellow on the street corner who has never a good word to sav for . is those who are working for the ad- j>a vnnceinent of the community, not 1 ('. only works harm to the community, tin hut to himself. He becomes soured ^ and morose, actually working himself up to the belief that all public officials, whether town, county, state or nation, are grafters and fatally nii bent on doing all the harm possible, wa Such a person will say he is willing 1,1 to "get together" provided of course everybody else will come to his way .,t of thinking., as If all the' morality. I)e wisdom and patriotism were centered | in him. Instead of pulling with the crowd, like a balky horse, he wants to pull by "fits and starts." We have all been getting together in t!l good shape in Lancaster for some pu time, but the thing is not yet quite what we would like to see it. If jn Wfc order, therefore, we move to make it unanimous. + yr an - - ...... ^ THK WORKING GIRL. ?. <la Sli 0,1 (Ill The Raleigh News and Observer pays the following trutliful tribute to the girls who work: ph "God bles3 tho girl who works. ^ She is not too proud to earn her own Kr' living, not ashamed to be caught at her daily tasks.
