One Year . .91.BO Six Months 7 Be "Let reverence for laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let It be taught in schools, l i seminaries and colleges; let It be written In primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of just'ce. And In short, let it become the poltical religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice yiceoslngly upon its altars." FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1916. Weather forecast for South Carolina: Generally fair Saturday. Rock Hill is now manufacturing automobiles. It appears that the "Good Town" will stop at nothing. 1 "But just think how much of this preparedness we have got to hear yet." remarks the Spartanburg Herald with feeling which we also share. + The library needs more members and everybody should have good books to read. If you have not joined the library association, do it now. + If the South Carolina legislature can succeed in putting pistols and whisky under the ban, bloodshed will be less frequent in the state. + Look out York or Rock Hill will not only hold some ot the terms ol' court of the county, but will get the county seat as well. -+ With so much building already under way and more scheduled for 1916, the prospect this year promises to be good in Lancaster, the best we ' have ever had. Senator D. Reece W illiams ( has introduced in the senate a ] joint resolution providing for , the calling of a constitutional convention, the question to be \ submitted to a vote of the peo->. pie at the next general election. + |i A partial eclipse of the moon was expected Thursday morning between 2:55 and 4:24, and its a safe guess that only the inordinately curious or those afflicted with insomnia were up at that hour to see the phenomenon. + The legislature should carry out the recommendations of Governor Manning and make the necessary appropriation for the needs of the State Hospital for the Insane. It is simply inhumane to allow conditions to rpmain qo u .w..>v>iii ua vncj IlctVC in the past, at this institution. + The house has passed by an overwhelming majority the bill providing a chain gang sentence for blind tigers with no alternative for paying a fine. This is as it should be and will have a salutary effect. Rather than take the risk of going to the gang, the tigers, both black and white, will stop the business. ?.?* ? -: + A real compulsory school attendance law is the greatest need of South Carolina, and more night schools for adults also cannot be too strongly advocated. In other words, the education of all our people, the children as well as their elders, is of prime importance. Why are people in general so indif ferent towards this vital need^ Our interest is measured by our activity in the work of educa tion. There is work for all to do Organize a night school in your neighborhood and urge constantly the necessity for compulsory education. PATRONAGE OF HOME INDUSTRIES. I Patronage of home indus-', 1 tries means as much to a con'- ' , munity's character as to its trade. It means civic pride, common helpfulness and patriotism. It means the fostering of that spirit of co-operation which is the very lifebreath of social progress. Lancaster should cultivate a demand for home products, whether of . field or factory thereby increasing its independence. We all realize the weakness and wastefulness of sending thousands of dollars anI nnnllv nwsv for train and meat and other commodities which our own soil will yield in abundI and, and which our farmers 1 will produce if they are assurj ed of a profitable home market. - This is true of manufactures as of agriculture. To the extent that we utilize our own resources and our enterprises, we I shall grow in prosperity and independence. To patronize home entcr prises is not a spirit of narrow prejudice against outside interests, but a matter of simple loyalty to our own. It would ! mean a vast increase in the number of employes in all branches of trades. And that < would mean more business for i I the real estate dealers, oy creai- 1 itig a demand for more houses, the butchers, the grocers, the dry goods and clothing merchants. and in fact every other ' business man would profit. It ( would add to the city's reve- ( nues for needed municipal im- > provements, and enlarge the x school funds. ( When the quality is as good. v the service as satisfactory, the * price as low as that to be found f anywhere else, then we have 1 both a business and pariotic reason for paronizing our own c people and our own city. ' i ciuuic tw ^niiuiii??c uuiut; industries is due, for the moat part, not so much to indifTer- ^ ence as to ignorance. Many of ;'s do not know that we can get j hinga at home as good or v. better than abroad. + FOR A HOSPITAL. Now that the first step in the establishment of a hospital has been taken and a committee 'I has been appointed to devise ways and means therefor, it is important, even necessary, that our citizens generally co-oper- <j ate in this movement. All of e us have long felt the need of v such an institution. Our sick jj >nes have too frequently been j inconvenienced and in some :ases have risked their lives be:ause in order to receive the hospital treatment it was nec- ; sssary for them to make a j journey to another city or another state. Frequently the () patient is physically unequal t to the discomforts of such a t trip. The strength needed for j. the ordeal of an operation perhaps, is wasted in the tedium r of travel when it should be e carefully conserved. In case of sudden illness or accident when ^ hospital appliances are needed j at once, the lives of our people \ are subjected to danger because v we have no hospital facilities at ] hand. I We need not dwell here on < the material side of the ques- i tion although many of us real- j ize how Lancaster money amounting to thousands of dollars has gone elsewhere for hospital expenses, whereas a I local infirmary would have kept i much of this money at home. I A hricnifnl iu euro fr* o nnir. A A Iiuopitui lO OKI V. vv/ ?7V CI ~ ing proposition, but even if it were not we should nevertheless have a hospital here. We are not going to argue it as a dollars and cents proposition, but rather from the humanij tarian side. We are not going to let our people suffer and die from neglect, are we? And now when you are asked to take stock in the hospital subsribe something, for the ! very need's sake. You will make no mistake in investing in j the proposed hospital. Make , the proposition a reality. Think what it will mean to the town , as well as to those who suffer. ' Consider that it mav also stand as a memorial to the great sur! geon Lancaster county gave to . the world. Let's build the Ma rion Sims Hospital. We can do . it with proper co-operation. And ve will do it?that's the Lancaster way.

J t mic r.Aisin or "THANK YOU" i (By Frank Tyron Charles.) t You may think the above a r ueer title, but if you have t ver been in the British Isles ou will know how appropriate : is. When I came to live in .ondon, over nine years ago, I J' as struck by the constant re- * etition of the words "thank % ou." I had resided a number } f years previously in Paris and 1 ad acquired the French habit f bowing on all and sundry * ccasions, but I never heard f here the French equivalent of hose words so often as in 1 ingland. The French tip their c i-i.- ? - ?u iniD mijueiiiiy, even 10 ponce- s nen. Don't laugh, for if you ver have occasion to make an nquiry of a French '"hobby" ou will find it no laughing J natter if you do not first salute i lim in that way. Also when *ou paying your check in a Paris restaurant you are expected to raise your hat to the ashier, be she pretty or not. ' In offices and stores there you 1 take off your hat when entering. When I came to London I had to give up the habit of constant bowing, for the English think it queer, and adopt that of saying "thank you" many times when I thought it quite unneccessary. One must conform to the customs of the country whpra nno roaiHoa After carefully considering the matter and watching the result I came to the conclusion that the frequently repetition of "thank you" adds greatly to the ease and pleasantness of life. Those two words seem to oil the machinery. of living, r,o to speak, and make many small and troublesome duties much easier of accomplishment. . At first, however, it seems queer to hear your stenographer say "thank you" every time you hand anything, or letters are returned to you typed ready for signature. After all it is often the "little nothings" that really count more than big ones, and people in thesd Isles seem ? _ 1 ? t J _ If A- - _ to nave plenty 01 time to use words that some persons might consider superfluous. It is rather curious to hear the English "booking clerk" say "thank you" when vou ask for a single third to Liverpool j JANUARY 21, 1916. "Well, I Should Say i 'Gets-It' DOES Work" "Look a' There, If You Don't Think It's Just Wonderful for Corns!" "Bless my stars, look at It! Land of the llvln"! Why. Just look at It! That corn caino right off,?Just like peeling bananas. Put your finger on my You Ev?r See the Llket No Wonder HSetn-It* In the IllKfcent Selling Corn Cure In the World!" toe, right there.?don't be afraid,? ' that's it,?feel how smooth the skin Is? Well, that's where the corn was. Well, that beats all!" That's the way "Gets-It" works on all corns, every i corn, every time. It's the new. simple ' way of curing corns. You'll say goodbye to all foolish contraptions like i bundling bandages, sticky tape, plasters, toe-eating salves, and gravediggers such as knives, razors and selssors. "Get8-lt" stops pain. Arpllod In 2 seconds. Never fails. Notlurg to ! stick to, hurt or press on the corn. "Gets-It" Is sold everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent direct by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111. Sold in Lancaster and recommended as the world's best corn | remedy by Lancaster Pharmacy and J. F. Mackey Co. and again when you toll him you made a mistake and wanted a third return to Leeds. Hut the fact that he was so polite makes you feel almost inclined to tftlfft the t.ii'ket t<i Llvsrmiftl anyway. He starts you on your journey feeling "good" and ready to enjoy traveling at sixty miles an hour. Again in the restaurant car ?most English trains have two first and third, there being few second class cars now?the , waiter says "thank you" when rou give your order anc! again >vhen he serves each dish. I lave found this universal in estaurants and not confined to lining cars. If you take the midnight sleeping car express from Lonlon to Edinburgh the conduc;or says "thank you" when you ell him your name and he in u.. i. .. f tivuu-.-< nic liuiuufi 01 your >pace. Early the next morning, ust before reaching the beauiful Scotch city, the porter lays "thank you" when he >rings the traditional cub of L ea, without which no English- nan would think he could berin the day. The station porter says 'thank you" when you indicate rour luggage to be placed on a ab, and even the cabby repeats hose words when you tell him vhere you wish to go. Again rou hear them when you inorm the hotel clerk that you vant a "bed," for being wise ind accustomed to traveling lere you do not ask for a 'room." However, you get a oom as well as a bed and pay >nly commercial rates for the lame accommodation. And ?r> it vnaim ,v "U | ?"thank you" ? everywhere! ind always, and the wheels of I ife run smoothly.
