4'Citizen" gives some food for
thought in a communication in
this issue. He is eminently correct
in saying the greatest need of
Lancaster is a commodious, woll
ventilated school building. For
several yeara the crowded condition
of the pupils in the present
building has been unsanitary, and
the arrangement of the windows
has made the light very trying on
many of the children's eyes. A
physician recently stated to us
that the eyesight of many of the
children had become effected from
this cause. We are for erecting
a building that will be an ornament
and a credit to the town.
Let other citizens speak out on
the matter. The columns of the
Ijedger are open to them. The
wheels of progress are moving,
let no one presume to impede
them.
MP Have you forgotten to

Mr. Crockett McMurray left
Wednesday for Ashevdle, N C,
where ho will spend seVeral weeks,
i He stopped over en route a few
days at Davidson college.
At a moonlight pic?nlc at St
I'aul A M E church, Tuesda"
night, some negro boys were
playing "initiating," when das
Wright and Otis Bellj, two of the
i number came to words and then
to blows when Wright used hia
knife stabbing Belk in the shoulder
and also io tho sida. The wounds
were painful, and had tho one in
the side been a little deeper it
would have proved fatal.
Fire ??t Heath Spring
Tho Lancaster Mercantile Co'8
livery stables at Heath Spring
were burned about 9 o'clock last
Wednesday morning. A quantity
' of roughness and some wagons
were lost in the building but the
stock and most of tho vehicles
were gotten out. The origin of
the fire is not known but* is supposed
to have been accidental.
This is the second time they have
been burned out within tho past
year or so. The insurance ohly
covered about one-fifth of the
> loss.

ever known. We went over to
i the Gregory farm Wednesday and
watched tho McCormick reaper
and binder at work in a thirtyacre
field. It was certainly fine
wheat. But for the poor standi*
in many parts of the field Mr
i Gregory could easily have counted
I on 30 bushels to the acre but he
i hardly expects to average over 2C
i bushels per acre. The part of the
! crop sown in the drill was very
! tine and the poor stands were on
II places where the seed were broadicasted.
Aside from the wheat
i we also saw some tine young corn
anl well advanced cotton. Tho
crops were clear of grass and
i showed that Mr John Adams, tho
> manager, is a hustler and underi
stands his business.

The Campaign Meeting at
Orangeburg.
Orangeburg, S C, June 14.?
Tho campaign meeting here today,
the opening of the contest of
1900, was well attended. All tho
candidates were on the ground and
ready for business.
The surprise of the day was the
tiling of the pledge of A C Jones,
the well known Prohibitionist,
who enters tho race against Senator
Tillman for tho United States j
senate.
Gov MeSweeney opened the!
speeches of the day and gave an
accmnt of his stewardship. Ho
had many friends in the audience, '
and his defense of the dispensary
was strong.
Col Hoyt, the champion of prohibition,
followed, in n mild and
conservative speech, which was
well received.
Mr Patterson mado a long
speech. lie assailed Mr Hoyt's
platform and defonded the dispensary
law. He severely criticised
some of Gov McSwocnoy's record,
lie closed his speech amid much
applause.
Mr Gary's speech was on a
high and honoaahle plane. Ho
auvocateu local option.
The candidates for other State
offices all had their say, there being
a little word spatting between
some of them and slight indications
of mud slinging later on.
Mr Jones and Senator Tillman
both made speeches. The later
favored the dispensary as a matter
of course but stated there were
some things he didn't like about
it. As to the candidates for governor
Senator Tillman said:
"These candidates for governor
are all my friends. Col Hoyt is
a clean, high-toned, honorable
man. He reiused to rule me out
of the primary in 1800 when he
was chairman of the Democratic
party. But the legislature fixes
the laws. Have the issues preARRIVflT
