J President Wilson made two ini- t poriani. announcemeius mis week. Was his purpose to vote for woman , S suffrage announced previous to his. r engagement or did it follow? In i e'ther case perhaps his fiancee will v doubtless receive her share of the, t credit or hlaine from suffragists and ( v anti-suffragists respectively. ' !; "Gaffney has had a 'dollar day' .. and York is planning one. The idea j, does not seem to have caught Rock n Hill." savs the esteemed Rock Hill i Herald, which surprises us greatly. s Lancaster observed "Dollar Day" so 0 long ago that our merchants are per- a haps ready to tr> it again. What's p the matter with Rock Hill? ! s + | n Though unswerving in our loyalty,8 to South Car-olina, "first, last and all: ? the time," Lancaster was glad to wel-j 1 come the Charlotte boosters on their' r "Sociability Tour" to this section ?

If we read aright i t the signs of the times there is an un-|s mistaJjable awakening on the part of! the people of South Carolina against I. the ntalAwful sale of liquor.

Much has been said and written. bout the enforcement of the laws j gainst the illicit sate of liquor. ' [any people seem to think that the ; fllcers of the law are alone respon- J ible for its enforcement, while othrs declare the people are responsible. To our mind the necessity for o-operation was never better illusrateil than in this matter. It calls or diligence on the part of the others and help on the part of citizens generally. It is necessary that thd dlicers be fearless and no respectors )f persons, that they be just as en;rgetic in running down one class of people as another, absolutely indifferent as to how their course of conluct will affect their personal popularity, their sole aim being to see that all criminal laws are enforced. The public, on the other hand, needs to realize that it has also a part and a most important part at that, in bringing about the punishment of the violators of the law. Public sentiment should be such that no indii id 11:11 who has knowledge of anv violation of the laws should hesitate to Rive such information to the officers. And where there is a good, wrong public sentiment, not too nv^Ui diffused, but rightly crystalizsd ^^?re will be found individuals vho wnV^come out openly and above joard furn^|hing the necessary inormation upow^vhicli the officers can ict. Hearty eoV^pcaton. therefore. >11 the part of both \ifficers and pubic is the sine qua tio^L for a rigid >n forcemeat of the crinjinal law. + 1 K \ * Tin-: post objects The Charleston Evening l'ost ob^ twlv fit tlio r.irnnf twit i Twit ion com o the Turkish government by tne Tailed States, in reference to the wholesale massacre of the Armenians iv that barbarous nation. The Post ! ases its objections upon the ground 'that the main point of the whole natter is that the United States has ts own business to look after and hat is enough to keep everybody loncerned busy and prepared for vent ualities however they may eeni." It also contends that we 'should not reach into Kurope for he sake of humanity or anything ?lse while we have Mexico at our ery doors, our own peculiar charge, nd no disposition to take a hand here." Yet, The Post admits that the laughter is frightful, for it says: "The treatment of these poor peole, while it has become into peculiar rominence during the war, is nothr?g new to the Turk, lie has kept lis soldiers in practice with the Armenians as live objects of war. Europe has been shuddering at the nassacres in Armenia for at least hirty years." Tlie Post may think the United tates is not concerned with the lioribie butchery going on, but occupyMK tlu* position we do among the rorld powers, when all eyes arc urned to this country for leadership io cannot hesitate to raise our voice n protest against the slaughter of housands of innocent women and hildren, who are being exterminated for Christ's sake." It is our proud oast that we united with the power? f Kurope to stay the hand of the loxers, when they were committinr imilar outrages in China. The hand if Spain was also staid when the laughter of the Cubans was in pro'ress. The Post intimates that we hould go into Mexico. Put we have 10 business there. As President Wil | on has already pointed out, the rouble in Mexico is caused by an lprising of its people who have bar' 10 part in the government, and hat this country will not interfere 1 n the internal affairs of that country! infil it is demonstrated that the' eople are incapable of self-goveirt- j nent. The United States hai never turn>d a deaf ear to the cry of the optressed of any land, and it Is to the credit of our great President that h? las protested in behalf of our people igainst the attrocities of the Insatiible Turk. + . / We, agre.e wlfh The Columbia Stat' hat these so-called educational cam >algn meetings have about nerve* heir day.

Sheriff Hunter says that he knows of 110 one violating the liquor law in I^ancaster cognty, and if any one else does and will give liim the proper in- m formation and evidence, that he will 1 guarantee that prosecutions will 7t promptly follow.
