""flaw and deal out death t nd dejicfon without being brought to all of us in fact, have long neglected the proper care of our own as well as the municipal property, until the signs of our neglect are all too apparent. There is no need to specify the things that need attention, as we have already so frequently called attention to them. There is a department of tiie Civic League known as the "City l.eautiful" committee and the women who serve on this committee want to accomplish certain definite results which can only be accomplished through cooperation. Other committees are also dependent on a general response from the public. This "clean up" work is the only thing for which the Civic League has ever appealed to the citizenship as a whole. They need cooperation and must have it if the work is to succeed. It isn't much to ask people to do what they ought to do regularly without being asked, .last take their request as a little reminder of your obligation to yourself, your family and your neighbor. If the community as a whole responds, if there are tangible results of coop eration and wliole-hearteded interest in the campaign other work will soon he attempted. Hut we all realize that these good women can do nothing until the foundation is laid. Therefore, let's help them, every one of us. Would we want people to judge what manner of people we are by the way this town appears? Are strangers attracted to us when they see grass, mud and paper on the streets and "sloughs of despond" at every crossing? Do not such conditions rather repel them and are we not judged by the sort of town we live in? Lancaster is a better town than our streets, hack lots and alleys would lead one to believe. We are a progressive people in most respects, progressing and alert but "this one thing'* we lack?pride in the appearance of our town. True we have not had muct to inspire pride heretofore. Hut let's turn a new page in city housekeeping. Let's turn to a clean page and let's keep it clean. Begin Monday. Start that day and keep at it till the work is finished. ^rjciric^icpidi^lolvsvldklvlcsoicicioicioicioioiok * wish rorxsel. * * * It is hard to estimate the value of calmness and self-control when crises arise and there is need of restraint. We believe the people of Charleston, at least those who are amenable to to reason, are convinced of governor Manning's desire to help them emerge from the tragedy which so recently befell them. His sympathy and whole some advice to this stricken people cannot nut appeal to them: "You have passed through a severe ordeal of excitement and continued strain during the past week. I earnestly urge upon you that self-restraint and calmness of mind that will enable you to think clearly, and to see the Impossibility of the continuation of such conditions. You owe it to yourselves, to your city and to your state, to conduct yourself with coolness, forbearance and courage with justice. "I am anxious to aid you by all lawful means to preserve and maintain peace and order. The law is supreme and must be respected, and I plead with you as loyal South Carolinians to join me in my efforts to restore co^-idence in the majesty of the law. and in bringing about a feeling of peace and security. Forbearance and calmness are essential 1 under these conditions. Your welfare ' demands such conduct on your part, 1 and I again urge you to make every effort to restore good feeling and . good order in your city." , The News and Courier likewise urges caution and restraint: "It is to be hoj>ed also that the people will realize how imperative Is the need of restraint if worse is not to follow. Indignation may be virtuous; but the the manner of its expression must be guarded and conf trolled at a time when the city is comparable to a powder magazine. The first duty of good citizens in the } present crisis it to do their part in 1 the preservation of the peace of the . community. No man who claims to love his city will be guilltv of a ' recklessly Inflammatory word or ac! Hon at kuoh a time." ? 11 A I Lancastrian who saw another County Fair while visiting in a cer1 tain town in the low country writes 1 home that It could not compare with our Fair last year. We are told that neither the exhibits nor the attendance was as full as ours. And yet we expect to have a much more repre1 sentative Fair this year. THE LANCASTER NEWS.
