A billion dollar trade balance in favor of the United States doesn't sound bad. + The Anderson Mail says that when a politician quits shaking hands, it is because he has lost his grip. + Yesterday passed oft too quietly in Lancaster. We should have pulled otT something it nothing but a ball game. 41 The \ndeiMU.

Morgan, who grappled w'tl the tra/vd mad man and saved th< life ot his employer. * ! Considering that a world-wide war " is raging, the coming crop of cotton docs not bid fair to bring much of a price. + . v We might :.s well bear in mind as we go along the fact that LIngland has interfered with American commerce more than the other warring nations. + Several farmers during the past week hauled their wheat to Monroe to be converted into Hour, and yet some of our so-called business men say v e uou i ueeu a nour nun. + The shooting of J. I'. Morgan, the multi-millionaire, was the act of a crazed man of German extraction,, who had been brooding over the terrible results ot the war now raging on the other side of the water. _ -* There is no doubt about the fact that the town of Lancaster wants the trade of all the people of the county. If the impression is otherwise, it is a false one. We invite the merchants of the town through our columns to make this fact known to tlie public + We publish the full text of State Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin's speech on the importance to the far JIJtM HI tl I t'lKHlXIJK I11M I UUUU 111 IIII'H Issue. It makes good reading and affords food for serious thought on the part of raisers of cotton. ? If all officers of tlie law in South Carolina had r.s high a conception of their duty as Sheriff Ilood and Raleigh Boulware. shot down at Winnsboro w hilt discharging their duty, there would he less lawlessness within the state. + The government of the United States unveiled a magnificent monument Friday to Gen. Natheniel Green, near Greensboro, on the Guilford battleground, where that general arrested the victorious march of the British army during the Revolutionary War. + Gentlemen of the city council and board of hea!'*-, each body severally or Dom aeung jointly, now aoout a general cleaning up of the town at an early date? If done systematically and thoroughly it may prevent much sickness during the present hot lummer days. + The death of ex-President Diaz recalls the fact that he brought order out of chaos in our sister republic and for a long time gave Mexico a fairly good government but he failed to correct abuses, that from time to time, crept into the administration of affairs and the people arose in their might and ran him away from his native land, and he died an exile, hated and despised. I ' V **'' WL ' ANOTHER MARTYR TO DUTY. -! ! -1 -!-!?i?;?i?L?! i?i?* Haleigh Boudware, the rural po 1 iceman, who was shot by the Isenliower gang, at the time they killed Sheriff Hood, succumbed to his wounds Saturday in a hospital in Co lumbia, where he was taken the day of the shooting. Owing to conditions that exist in South Carolina, it is pertinent to Inquire who deserves censure for tlie deplorable tragedy, for we will all agree that there is fault somewhere. For our part the Isenhowers, living or dead, who did to death these two officers of the law and wounded others, deserve the severe condemnation of all lovers of law and order. And yet we note. from time to time, communications in the daily press, lauding to the skies those people who trampled the law under their feet, and murdered those brave men to whom the people of Fairfield county had entrusted its enforcement. Some of them go so far as to suggest the raising of a fuud to erect a monument to the dead Isenhower. Strange to say, none of these correspondents have anything to say one way or the other about the officers of the law who were shot to death. But nevertheless. there are people all over the state who appreciate their bravery and devotion to duty. Their deaths will not be in vain. Before our people, as a whole come to a realization of how shorkinir it is for indiviiliiuU to take the law into their own hands, more hrnve men will, likely have to co down to their death. Hut earh one that falls a martyr to duty will cause the people to stop and think, resulting in the end of a healthy public sentiment whic h will some day he so prevalent in South Carolina, that no one, for any cause, will dare trample upon the law and shoot down those charged with its enforcement. + <.<>(!!> \\ IMIKS I OK ( IllOSTIOK. rill may he said it is none of our business, hut we hope that our neichbor. Chester, will vote the contemplated issue of bonds for street improvements. We fear, though, from the tone of the editorial matter on tlie subject in The Chester News, that there is great doubt about it. How can the people of Chester afford to hesitate about this most important matter when its future depends upon its keeping up with its nearby sister towns? It would seem that ultra-conservatism on the part of its principal property holders is the main trouble. The News, in its last issue, discussed this nliase of tin? matter in ?n editorial in which it shows that "conservatism" is a much "abused word." It says: "The good old word 'conservative* in this day and time has been and is being outrageously abused. How often >lo we have a well known man in a community pointed out as a most conservative business man, one whose judgment is likely to he sound rtul safe. At the same time we know, the predominent traits of this self same man as selfishness, stinginess, pigmiudedness, and his so-called 'conservatism' is the desire to secure from organized society every possible atom without giving back to it any return." The class of men spoken of by the Chester paper will be found in every community, but fortunately, as a rule, they do not always control. Our best wishes are with the progressives in the tight they are making for Chester's good. + We have received a ropy of the Midsummer edition of the Hock Hill Magazine, published by the Chamber of Commerce of that city. It is a good advertisement for that wideawake and hustling town. On the front page is a picture of the cattle Hock Hill is shipping out?the thoroughbred Hertford bulls imported by the Union National Bank for the purpose of stock improvement in that section. Rock Hill is already the center of the alfalfa industry in the state and promises ere long to be the center of the stock raising Industry. But what is it Rock Hill can't do when she tries and she is always trying. + The fact that Chick Springs has been selected three times in succession as the most suitable place to hold the annual meeting of the South Carolina Press Association, is argument sufficient to demonstrate to any reasonable mind that as a summer resort it can't be boat. The accommodations and fare, in fact all the appointments of the place, are ideal. It is easily accessible and can be reached by electric lines from Spartanburg or Greenville or by rail, the station being at Taylor's, a short distance from the hotel. The editor is now enjoying a well-earned rest at this delightful resort. She writes that "Chick Springs is good enough for me," and this is saying a good deal for her. ^ ft THE LANCASTER NEWS ! ANNUAL MEETING OF PRESS ASSOCIATION : Kditor of The News Enjoys Her Out- j ing?Hears (iuv. Manning and Tells of Trip to Mountains. I Special to Th'j News. Chick Springs, July 5.?The read1 ers of many of the newspapers In ' South Carolina are doubtless aware of the fact that many of the newsi paper makers have not been "on the job" during the past week, but however much their absence has been 1 j felt, we believe that the result of their brief outing will be manifested i | in renewed interest and enthusiasm and in greater zeal because of their ] having met for mutual improvement. : The editor of The News enjoyed the I sessions of the Press Association of i the two Carolinas. Tho South Carolina newspaper makers gathered at i Chick Springs lust week, holding I meir opening session juonaay even- , ing, June 2 8. Othter sessions were i held Tuesday and Wednesday. An- j other pleasant, as well as profitable I feature of the meeting was an auto- ! ; mobile ride over the nearby city of | 1 Greenville and its growing suburbs, j The 115 session was brought to a happy conclusion by an elaborate ' banquet in the beautiful dining room 1 of the Chick Springs Hotel, given by j that host, whose hospitality knows i no bounds, Mr. J. Thomas Arnold. I ! president of the Chick Springs Com; pany. A numbe< of after dinner ! speeches, sparkling with wit and abounding in good feeling, were ! made. Mrs. Caroline Miller Lums- : den, sister of Itced Miller the South Carolinian whose voice has charmed so many audiences, sang at the ban quel aim tlie chick Springs orchestra also furnished music. Mrs. Lumsden sings at lunch and dinner every day during the season. The daily papers have carried the gist of a number of splendid addresses delivered before the Press Association and we cannot here mention more than a few of the speakers. The governor of South Carolina made a "heart to heart" talk to the editors, lie told of the Charleston blind tiger problem and of the plans by which lie is seeking ;o solve it. lie referred to the asylum reorganization, explaining the reasons therefor and disclosing the fact that conditions there had demanded immediate and thorough-going reform. He discussed tax reform, charities and corrections and other problems which are occupying his time iiiid thought. The governor's earnestness, his sincerity and his optimism compel the eonfi(lence that with the co-operation of the people he represents, South Carolina will go foreword under his administration. Senator John L. McLaurin spoke at length of his warehouse proposition, pointing out how it is designed to hasten prosperity and make the Southern farmer more independent. The most original and one of the most inspiring addresses before the meeting was that of a mountain missionary, Itev. Mr. Crain, w hose message appealed to all who iifiiui u. .nr. v it in is iiimsiMi it native of the mountains and has served a sentence for moonshining. Tlis conversion and his education have made him very influential and lie plead eloquently for consideration towards the mountaineers. Thursday morning the editors of South Carolina left on a special tr: in, procedlng from Chick Spr'ngs 1 over the Piedmont & Northern Railway to Spartanburg, where they went j over the Southern Railway to Hlack ; Mountain, driving on two miles to Montreat, where a joint meeting of the editors of North and South Carolina was held. President Hammer, of the North Carolina Press Association. and Mr. Brtttain, editor of The ' Raleigh News and Observer, welcomed the editors of the Palmetto State and their addresses were re- [ sponded to by Mr. Bd H. DeCainp j editor of The Gnffney Ledger, retiring president of the South Carolina Press Association, Mr. August Kohn of The Charleston News and Courier ' and Mr. Joe Sparks of The Columbia State. A number of very instructive addresses were made, but none was more stirring than that of Dr. Joy-J! milliner 01 pictures ui iu? pun; i which will perhaps be shown some. day In Lancaster. After the two1 days spent together the Tar Heels . said good-bye to their guests, who returned Saturday to the Palmetto State after a charming sojourn in the beautiful mountain retreat. J. W.
