FRIDAY, DEC. 15, 191(i.
While other papers are urging
their readers to shop early, we
would beg them to shop at home.
' > Lancaster merchants have provided
a, splendid array of Christmas gifts
which you cannot secure elsewhere
at such reasonable prices. You will
R he wise to shop at home.
The guarantors of the ul6 lyceum
and the Chautauqua, like all their
predecessors, are discouraged, and
g- justly so. because of the lack of
s patronage given these attractions,
| some of which have been exceptionally
good. If the public generally
I does not show its appreciation of
such- entertainment by its patronage,
nobody will be willing to furnish the
necessary guarantee. We are sorry
to be forced to the conclusion that
Lancaster does not care for such
!,* -things.

What has become of the old
! fashioned bazaar which the churches
a?jd other organizations used to
dtave aloug about this time each
year? Asks the Spartanburg Journal.
With three bazaars already held,
one today aud one Tuesday, Lancaster
certainly is keeping up the good
old custom. The dellcioua refreshment*!
made and served by Lancaster
housewives, as well as the dainty
articles of needlework also made by
the deft fingers of Lancaster women
form a combination which is hard to
beat.

LET'S no OVK PAHT.
We ask a careful reading of the
aiticle entitled "So Illiteracy in!
South Carolina in 1 f?2 0. * * by Mrs.
Walter E. Duncan of Aiken, who is,
chairman of the department of edu-j
cation of the South Carolina Federn-'
tion of Women's clubs. It is in the'
-nature of a call for volunteers to en-'\
list in the fight on ignorance. In addition
to the splend'd nirhl school
at the Lancaster Cotton Mills, there' j
should be other such schools in every
school district in the countv. Of
+ t P
course the work in the rural districts(
is more difficult, for the people are
Hcattered over miles of territory, but af
surely there is in every community]
*<Hne brave soul who will take the
dead and organize a night school.: <
When the work is once inaugurated.) <
reinforcements will come to the as- i
slstance of the lenders, who cannot;
but feel inspired by the presence of
. earnest adults, eager for a chance to^ ^
j !
innrn. 1 '
The night school teachers tell us! <
that the problem of discipline, so; <
targe a factor in day school work.j i
does not cuter into'the nicht school j
for the pupiU that come to he taught |
rtre nieu and women, who, having *
snissed school privileges in their '
youth, are determined to grasp ev- <
ery crumb of knowledge offered by <
the night schools. They learn easily
for their minds are matured and they
feel the need of what the teacher
.and the textbooks have to give.
% All over Lancaster county . there '
wt men and women who are hunger- <
+ng and thirsting for knowledge, ,
-siever to be received except through
the medium of the night school. Is
-this prize, so coveted, to be withheld '
from them, while we who have en <
joyed the blessings of an education <
refuse to share it with others lea*
fortunate? Surely we are not so Indifferent
to the needs of our brothers
and sisters, so seiflRh as to keep from
them the talents given us to use.
Let's mobilise and begin the fight
resolved to do our part In making
South Carolina free, -The shackles
of Ignorance have already kept us
back overlong. We must be up and
at It If Illiteracy is to be banished
from our borders by 1920.
