ENTERPRISE OFTHENEWS SHOCKED MR. TWITT\ Surprised That 40-Page Edition Should Follow So Close Upon 24 Pages. CERTAINLY A BIG ITEM. Comment* on 1'oM.sihility of Another Governor ami Various Other Subject*. To the Editor of The flews: I was somewhat shocked, a day or | two since, to receive The News, which j covered 40 pages of printed matter, i The surprise was that it followed a similar edition so soon which covered 24 pages. It must be that you are casting your bread upon the waters to be gathered after many days or it may be that profits or income follow at once. One thing is evident the head or directors make no mistakes along that line. The paper and extra work on such an issue is certainly a big item in the expense account. Just now it can be truly said that Lancaster leads and if the management is not kept back you will soon save a nice city. The advertising and reading matter is well executed and first class. The sentence by Judge Sease vs. i O. W. Rich should be read by all and ii.ru ant young women should read the article wherein a young daughter tried to disown her father. If children, in such cases, would consider, they are lowering themselves in the t-sn tin of the puolie, when they act thus. I am moved to have a say about an important committee connected with the fair. Chairman Lazenby makes a good picture and I have evidence that he works well wherever you put him?that lie is un an allrouud good fellow and I am glad it is so especially since he is so nearly connected with my old friend Frank Miller, deceased. I believe it was said that Sapp made his maiden speech in your court house in October, 1911, which 1 heard. I though it was very creditable, and that his future was promising, which no doubt he is now realizing. I do not know Mr. Wilson. Is ttq Irishman Wilson's son ( a grandson of Stephen Williams?) I have nd doubt he is a valuable asset to your city from his head and the comply he keeps. Heretaforo I have had a say About Mr. Ellison. He is the right man in the right place, for get up and push he has no leader, bat he parts his hair in the middle. Wonder if his wife could not persuade him to change his style. As to Croxton, he is from good stock and in whom there is much promise. Let - .hjm handle a good share of your mOitttV and it will nil enmo hoolf in you wltli interest. It spoils most men to eulogize them and interests that no other men could have made such success, hut it does not seeem to effect Leroy Springs. His success is proclaimed in all tho newspapers from the mountains to the seaboard and yet he does not appear to be spoiled and urging his claims for such distinction. It is known and believed that Mr. Springs has much (more than any other man) to do with the growth of Lancaster and other towns in the county. Who would All his place were he to decide to change his residence? Charlie Jones la a live wire and a very important factor in keeping your city I nthe advance or movlng^forward. There s a number of other men In yonr city I would like to bring forward as first claae characters and whose example we would do well to Imitate but time and space will not Permit. Last Saturday night Mr. J. W. West paid his last debt- The messenger, death, made the demand which he responded to at 8 o'clock p. ra. Just ten months before that Un'ted 8tato? Senator W. 8. West, h's brother, was called hence. Senator W We*L as I Informed your readers at the time, was a very prlmlnent character. s success In evorv particular. Now the same can be said of Mr. J. W. West. Possibly his financial gcreng was greater than tbe senator's. It Is estimated that Mr. J. W. West's estate Is worth over a million 9 ** o o mm**** ? sntion, when you cor les of woolens, and 1< measurement, the ar loner Violrl fli Pit" cV?on - ? - - J?y y ??VAV? %IAV11 Oil 14 SUITS THE >mer Bowling, W lollars. It is not often that two such nent are taken from a small city In 10 short a time. Of course such deaths create sadness and much missed. My sister (Mrs. J. L. Gregory) of efferson, Alabama, writes me that she has recently had a pleasant visitor, in the person of Mrs. Thurlow Gregory of your town. I am glad my 3i8ter was thus visited, it helps her and for a time relieves her lonely widowhood. Rev. A. D. Betts of the South Carolina conference has recently been writing up a trip he made to the San Francisco Exposition last summer, in The South Carolina Advocate. Ills letters are interesting and his travels at least in part, must have been over the samo ground visited by Mr. R. E. Wylie. I wonder if Mr. Wylie met the part> ? I have been looking for and expecting to see somehting from the editor boosting the Catawba bride. I regard such connection, as such a bridge would make, as being very Important to Lancaster, town and county?push the enterprise. If I read the signs correctly there is u disposition to try another man for governor next term. Why a "'""igp? Is not Manning filling the wnio ^ - - Uiii. An nt; uui executing Ilia laws? I think Manning should be honored with two terms at least. No time to swap horses crossing a bridge. a football tragedy occurred here yesterday. A young man (widow's son) was brought out of the game with a broken arm. That is just what may be expected by those who participate in the game. Let the game be abandoned. In a late letter to The News I mentioned the fact that our city was looking forward to an agricultural fair, which was advertised to come off last week. It was a brilliant success. The exihibits and attendance exceeded any previous occasion. It was estimated that between 10,000 and 20,000 persons attended daily. Hoke Smith was on hand one day. He was given a royal welcome. He made a good speech and shook hands with near 10,000 people during the day and night. He delivered a second speech, but it was at the college building. I saw Miss Marie Craig yesterday, she is herself and as usual wearing a pleasant smile. No doubt the longer she lives , in this section the better she will be pleased with it. I am not informed | as to crops in Lancaster, but I hope they are god. If it so turns out that you have good crops and are able to realize good prices for it, it should call forth thanksgiving from every | heart. 8fop and think a moment and consider what terrible times some countries are having. J. W. TWITTY. Valdoata, Ga,, Oct. 26, 191G THINGS NOT TO FRET AIJOl'T. The great compensation for growing older is that you don't see ^o mtnv thing* to fret about. We use:! to be terribly troubled about manythings that give us no concern whatever now. We used to worry when a man came along and said that a Democratic administration .vas responsive for cheap cotton and too mud) ain or too much drouth, and that Top* were hotter when a RepublicanI was president anyway. Some folks "till believe that, but we are perfectly | satisfied for them to think ho.. We, shall never argue the matter. It used to fret us u Rood deat that many Henaible people Juat would lolant in the moon or out of ft as they .ruaVjheve been taught Tint never again will we argufy about It. If that kind of planting eolta them it cer-, talnly will not 'bother uh.- Bealden j that, they ?tay ;be right about it. | It tiaed to fret ua, too, that thol Yankees were eo bull-headed that 'hey wouldn't come right out nnd aay! that they were wrong and our Hide ill right about tho Great Unpleasantness. Hut now?we don't -under tand why It Is?but we feel perfertv satisfied for the Yankees t.o gi on f their mlsgu'ded wav. Mo use to Move because you can't teach folks ivvthlng. Theve'H woman suffrage.

And there is the Pope, the nast; old Pope. Like a great many othei people we used to live in dread o him. And while it's dangerous t< say so, somehow or other we no long er feel that he may make a meal <> ?is some day unbeknownst. And there was Truth. We usee to feel that if we didn't scotch for i mighty strong it might topple ovei some day and be lost. Now, some how, we have come to have mor< onfidence in its own strength ant love to see it attacked in order to se< how much more brightly it will shine And so it goes. There are so man} tilings about which it is useless t* fall out with the world or one'i neighbors. Tennyson spoke of "th common sonse of most," and we an finding that this common sense ii general will settle so many things i you give it time, that it is not wort! while to prod It up too much. St many of us are wasting so much timt in talking and doing things that ar< not worth much. If we could centrt on some of the big things there wouli be some ginger in tlie fight.

Monroe Journal. l.H.lKMVd FKOM TIIK AXt'lKNT ; We hu* learned a good deal o value from the people who lived cen i. ties ago, and we know that the; tad some valuable accomplishment ... secret of which we have not ye ound out. Probably the people o a score of centuries ago knew noth ing about the germs that cause dis ease, but they evidently knew tha disease was caused by the drinkini af water from certain sources, am they had the common sense to fini out how to treat the water. Cyrus he Persian king, it is said, took th precaution to have boiled river wa ter conveyed in carts with the army iVo do not know to what extent th armies were Infected with typhoii iever nor what effect the precautioi had upon the sick rate and the deatl rate, but to road about the use o such precautious under difficultie then existing puts us moderns t shame. Now we know what typhiod fevc !s. We know that it is caused by specific germ. We also know froi whence the germ comes and how i :*n be killed before it enters the hii man body. Yet with all this know ledge we had not the common sens to take proper precautions as late a the Spanish-American war, for mor men were killed by typhoid tha fell in battle. The story of sanitar neglect Is a standing reproach upo he nation.

M. Cooper, assistant sec- 4 retary of the board, said, "Wo are go- 4 ing to push medical eschool inspec- \ tlon as hard as we are able. We be- -f lleve that this is the next most im- < | portant unit of health work the board | f can undertake. Furthermore, we be- t ( lieve it to be one of the most impor tant pieces of combined health and * ? educational vork that the people ? p themselves can undertake. f p "School Inspection is the best ! , means to bring health work directly | to the people, for through the child the parent is reached, which is to say ! that through the school the com- ^ munity is reached. What is done for .j , the child in school is practically done v for the whole family, and what is in- j ? stunted in tno school is soon adopted by the town or neighborhood." 1 It is the plan of the board to conduct this fall and winter a campaign of medical school" inspection in four r or more counties. The counties clios en will be tbose who make application first according to the plans of the board. In other words, the counties that are first to appropriate for this purpose $10 per white school will be 1 the counties accepted. A competent physician who will be in charge of t the work will be furnished by the ; state board of health. The hoard will supervise the work, furnish free " literature for health information, and - will as far as possible adopt the fol- J] t low-up system in consequence. The physician in charge will devote i! K three months to the school of each ? ' county. He will examine all the chil1 dren of all white schools on appointi, ad days to be observed as Health e Days. He. will keep a record of each child's examination, which record will be kept by the state board of | ' health for the purpose of the followe up method. He will further inspect I the school house and grounds as to Its sanitary conditions and will lecture II to the parents and patrons at con'l vcnient places and appointed times, f Alamance county has already cons tracted for this work which will be ready to start November 1st. Other counties interested should write the state board of health for details of r information and plans. i :i | < Building Character.
