No other single factor perhaps would moan as much to the future of Lancaster as better railway connections and an interurban system traversing a section of country in need of such facilities would be a great asset to this town. The proposition should be considered. The interurban electric railwafliias helped along the development of other sections and -would help Lancaster county as well. We wish to pnmmpnfl o_ yor and the police force for the manner in which they went afx ter the blind tigers recently. By handling them with gloves off, they succeeded in convicting two or three who stood trial. The others took warning and concluded to plead guilty in order to get a lighter sentence. Under the half-gallon-a-month 1;^, which will soon go into efJWJt. it will be more difficult for violators of the law to escape BISHOP (U'ERRY. The annual visitation of Bishop William A. Guerry is an event of interest to the people of Lancaster irrespective of denominations, and Bishop Guerry is assured of a cordial welcome here. The bishop of the Episcopal diocese of South Carolina is a man of intellectual strength and vision. His discourse carries conviction for his sympathies are broad and his logic is clear. Bishop Guerry is a pleasing speaker. He always has a message well worth the hearing, delivered with earnestness and power. Our people will enjoy an opportunity of hearing Bishop Guerry next Sunday evening. LONG LIFE TCT THE STATE. Congratulations to The State upon this, its twenty-fifth birth-; day. Its mettle has been well tried during the quarter of a century of service for it has met with courage many obstacles and its triumph has been a triumph of principle. The high standard set for it by the lamented, N. G. Gonzales, its first editor, himself a martyr to principle, has been maintained during the sue-1 ceedinj: years, j'he State is. ?n! our opinion, 'ho greatest force I for civic right in the state. Our wish is that it may in due ti e celeb oat * its j r/'den anniversary! and live on and on to accomplish yc greater good for South Carolina. + FAMILIAR PHRASES.

Other Matters Affecting the County. Editor of The News: 1 am enclosing a copy of the j bill which the Lancaster delega-: tion has put thru to abolish the office of County Supervisor. Briefly stated, the law provides that the office of County Supervisor shall be abolished and a board of five county.commissioners be appointed with long terms of two to six years so that the term of not more than one shall expire in any one year. This law will take effect at the end of the terms of the present county supervisor and county commissioners. We believe that this will take the business management of the county's affairs out I of politics and put it on a firm business basis. The delegation recommended the following men for the County Board of Registration: W. G. A. Porter, W. A. Caskev, and R. J. Flynn. We have provided that the magistrate of Gills Creek townhip shall have concurrent jurisdidction with the magistrate of Cane Creek townshin: and we have provided that the constables be required to convey to the county chaintrang, directly after conviction, all persons sentenced thereto by the magistrates respective1; served by ! them. We have provided two additional voting precincts, one at Tabernacle school house and one at Midway school house. The county supply bill ho* passed the House and been sent to the Senate. For Lancaster county we have been able to reduce the tax levy about one-half trull, notwithstanding the fact that we have given the road and I "rid we fund six mills instead of f ve last vc.ti. and wo have the additional amount of ?600 for | JTome Demonstration wo b and, cfb"0 for the vital statistics law. The cra!lon-a-month law has Seen amended cuttinir the amount down to one half gal Ion. or in lieu of the one half wilton, 60 pints of beer may be ordered: but you cannot get both the liquor and the beer.
