"Are you ready for Christinas?" ?+ If every Christmas letter and pack- sv age carried a lted Cross seal thous- ' amis of dollars would go to relieve ' IlllR^rclllogig Utiffarore t! ?! ; h "December is the present month,"! it says the paragrapher of The State, J e and no late Christmas shopper will j w dispute the statement. : o U We hope the incoming city coun-1 n oil will see the importance of better n library facilities for Lancaster and s] will speedily supply them. H + (, A good line of newspaper advert ising does much toward enlarging the ^ trade zone of a town. Let every progressive merchant try it. ' n The new council will, we hope, not be content with what has already been done in the way of improve- . ments, until every street crossing is J, put in proper condition. ! 4> Six hundred new names have re- v cently been added to our subscription list, so when advertisers take J( space in our paper now they are t! reaching the people in wenty-throe j( hundred homes. Remember one of the greatest U c needs of our town?a hospital. Let's make up our minds to have one and it will be forthcoming. If Lancaster tries to get it she will succeed. That's ^ the Lancaster way. + More moonlight schools are need-|. ed in this county besides the one at j ^ Midway. Will not others who have a enjoyed the advantages of an educa- S tion come to the rescue of their less v fortunate brothers and sisters? ^ I t Already the Christmas trade is n brisk. Our people are going to cele- d brate the return of prosperity by giv- i 8 ing many gifts, which they did not ^ feel able to make last year. Many, t homes will be brighter this year than r last. But the community should see a to It that there are none without 'v some Christmas cheer. There should f be no empty stockings. j f jr The Rock Hill Record makes the e following pertinent comment on the 1 ^ Isenhower trial: "We are certainly |f sorry that Fairfield case was brought y to York for trial. Five witnesses solemnly swore that they saw Isenhower fire the shot that killed Deputy f Boulware. Yet a York county Jury t cleared him, thus condoning that c dreadful blow to the majesty of the j a law! But, what Is the law between . r friends?" t ' A FORTUNATE STATE. * i-i-lrl-l-lrlrl-irirlrlrlflrlrJrlri-.'irlrlriTlrlr!?;: South Carolina enjoys the good fortune of having enlisted in her service a group of faithful workers for the common good and Lancaster has been particularly fortunate recently in being favored with visits from three of the most useful of these, reports of whose addresses we are publishing today. It is with pride that we can say that the governor of the state is a Christian gentleman, who is guarding the good name of Soutli Carolina with jealous eare. He has about him little of the politician but much of the statesman. He is first of all a business man who lias the good judgment to know that the prosperity of the commonwealth lepends on the prosperity of the in iividual. His practical, straightforward talk here last Friday was well received. Commissioner Watson is mother who is tireless in his efforts 'or community betterment. His euhusiasm over the possibilities of development in South Carolina is conagious. Colonel Watson is doing a treat work for the state. Dr. D. B. Johnson, president of] kVinlhrop College, was another dis-, anguished visitor in Lancaster, havng addressed the December meeting )f the County Teachers' Association, rhe country at large has recogniz>d the splendid work he is doing. Dr. [ohnson was recently elected presi-j lent of the National Educational As-1 ociatlon. Not only for the high stand- j ird of Wintlirop College does Dr. j ohnson merit the thanks of the peode of the state, but in Uie extenion work of the college he has made ts influence far reaching. All three of these good men have leen impressed with the spirit of Lancaster, having spoken enthuistially of our progress and our hospiality. Lancaster merits their comHerniation and it has been freely \ iven. + ; ^ HE1> CHOSS SEALS. * 1 < Have you bought a supply of Red j '> ross seals for Christmas and are| ou using them? is your wish to re- , ieve the great arm\ of tuberculosis;: ull'erers sullieiently strong to have1 rompted you to use the seals, thus iminding others of their opportunity f doing likewise? Love of human- ' \ should always inspire as to deeds j f kindness and titoughtfulnc^s. As'] e lavish our gifts on friends an.l I ived ones, let us give something to; liose whose lives are threatened by;, :e groat white plague. Many, per-i | aps, are already doomed and it lies 1 our power to make the end a little ' asier. Can we withhold the mite'] hieh, if given, will ease the pillow , r gladden the heart f one of the >ast of these? If we love our fellow I ' ten, if doing unto others has any ] leaning for us, if the Christmas j pirit is in us we will be glad to buy j < led Cross seals. They are 011 sale t 1 Lancaster at the most convenient laces. They cost but a penny apiece.! ny child can buy a few while the 'j rown men and women of the com- : iunit> are able to buy more. lOvery- ( ody should be willing to help in this hristmas charity. Will you? | } + i V' ' j: 1 THK HKVOIA P.lt. .-a!' 1 ( Too much cannot be said and writ-j s mi against pistol-toting and against lose who by persisting in the law>ss habit, show that they have not ;ie courage of the law-abiding man i ho goes unarmed. A Western ex-j hange is very timely in its indict-1 I lent of the revolver which it calls' "nickel-plated substitute for brav-j ry." The same paper also brings ( lie following just charges against! t lie ever-ready weapon: ; I i ne revolver gives a puny man 1 ith a f>-8 Inch brain and the pluck 1 f a grasshopper a 100 yard reach nd makes him more deadly than a 1 ioux Indian. There was a time 1 .hen this country had no danger- 1 us animals, except bears and wolves, 1 nd life was safe, except on the fron- ' iers, but now vast hordes of 16 year 1 id boys, who use their skulls for a ' ime novel bookcase, roam the treets with cigarettes in their faces, j nd portable cannon in their hip ' lockets, producing obituaries with ' he skill and enthusiasm of a cholera ' nicrobe; while it is at all times posible to meet a personal enemy who 1 tas been chasing you for a week, and vho is reluctantly compelled to de- 1 end himself when he catches you by illing you so full of leaftl that your emains will require eight pall-bearirs. Revolvers are now generally ised In debate, In domestic quarrels ind repartee of all sorts, so that !,000 Americans die of* them each ear, it is said." i * The window displays of our progressive merchants would do credit o a city many times the size of I,anaster. Some of them are unusually irtistic. Christmas colors predomllate, giving Main street a restive toliday aspect. THE LANCASTER NEWS COUNTY JVEW5| NOTES FROM MILL. VILLAGE.
