It is not too early to e begin to swat the fly. 1: + t There is one thing upon which t all of us can agree and that is r that the legislature carried out * the wishes of the people in the d enactment of an out and out pro- > hibition law. r + h We are glad that the State f Hospital for the Insane is no longer to be a football in politics. The governor's action in placing Dr. Wiliams at the head ( of the institution was ratified by the senate. On thi - the one hundred and {) eighty-four anniversary of the birth of Washington, we may well recall his belief in prepared- r ness. In 1<7(> the first president -y of the United States said. ^ "There's nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared , to meet the enemy." 1 We have a number of large i business concerns in Lancaster and we are proud of every one of j' them but we need other pay rolls ' yet and therefore welcome new \ enterprises large or small. This ^ town and county offer induce- s ments to newcomers. No better ? location for a business can be chosen than Lancaster affords. ? + h ' The Charleston Post makes ? the following comment on the 1 stale humor of the minstrel J. show, which Lancastrians will ' doubtless appreciate after a recent experience with this form 1 of entertainment: The minstrel show demon- , strates time and again the fact that there are alwavs a few 5 i i Y i c people wno naven i nearct even : the oldest joke; others, who * laugh before they recall it; and others who laugh anyhow, bless, } 'em. + t A correspondent to The State j! from Rock Hill says that to his ( knowledge th^re is not an auto- j( mobile association or an auto-1 \ mobile dealers association in 1 South Carolina, in which state- 1 ment the correspondent displays 1 his ignorance. Lancaster has a live automobile association or- I ganized early last October. < "Lancaster leads" the 'good < town" of Rock Hill and other < South Carolina towns in this res-j 1 pect. ! ; ..-TTOg.j,tAKn4 SPRING CLEANING TIME.
