Fall In Line !
The new school building is the
thing We find, with few exceptions,
our people all fayor it. It
will be romenibered that the
establishment of a graded school
here was vigorously opposed by
some of our largest taxpayers but
they aro among its strongest
frionds today, and we find most of
' them right in line for the erection
of a school building to cost at least
$ ft, 000. We figure that an addi
tional levy of 1 mill tax ($1. on
the $1,000 worth of property) in
1 i the school district for ten years
1 will pay the interest annually
and retire bonds issued for the
purpose. Who, within the radius
of the school district, will not
i '
have his property enhanced in
. value more than ten times the
| amount of the tax he will pay, by
the erection of a handsome, com
modious school building, to say
nothing of the improved health of
the children. We want everybody
to fall in line in this matter.
' If you can't see beyond your nose,
don't consult your judgment but
follow the lead of progressive,
public spirited men. Probably
1 you pulled back and reared and
: pawed and snorted and kicked
against the establishment of the
1 school but after the first year you
saw your folly, and to day, per
hups, you wo the last man in
k Lancaster who would vote against
the levy for the support of the
school. An imposing school building
constructed with a viev* to
proper ventilation and light is as
much a necessity in this communis
> ty as an\thing we can imagine and
we hope the entire community will
bo able to see it.
i ^
Forward. Oniric Itiirlit. Mari-li !
With the beginning of tho new
1 century Lancaster will be at the
1 threshold of a most glorious
opportunity. What our town is
to become depends upon the life,
' activity and progressivenoss of
1 its citizens. Muny think that the
'' building of a million dollar cotton
mill will only add a few thousand
population in the way of mill
operatives and occasion the establishment
of two or three more
j stores to compete for tho trade of
^ those new operatives. Such can
see no better future for our town
I than its past has been. But the
> wide awake man sees more, fie
I sees a prospect limited only by
1 the progressiveness and public
I spiritedness of cur present inhab*
itants. Ilad you thought of it?
A million dollar mill will spin
* non r> 1 ?/ oil ho or?t
uunuj mm i?iio vuviuu i ammi ill
' Lancaster county. Cotton will
roll in here from every direction.
> It should tie the best market in
> the State. Trade would increase,
> probably double in a few years
t time. New mercbat ts wiil come
| in. Men with capital will come
and establish new enterprises.
More cotton mills, oil mills, spinning
mills, and all kinds of enterprises
willjbe run by electricity
generated by the Landsford power
company. Lancaster will be a
city. But hold, we are going too
fast. It all depends ?DEPENDS
upon your ability to comprehend
the situation. In this day monied
men consider the comfort# and con?I
veniecces of life in selecting a
homo. If Lancaster is to attract
such she must align herself wtyh,
other progressive towns of the
State and country. With the
great advantage an electric power
plant, capable of developing 20,00C
horse-power, within eight1
miles of our door will give us,
will we throw away the opportunif
U ? W al/a lie*
? m+j || t?AU U JO OIOO|llUg
ones. Give the subject some
thought. Intelligently studied,
you must l>e convinced that without
the comforts, conveniences
and educational advantages of the
more progressive towns, Lancaster
will remain what she is. Perhaps
you feel no interest in her
growth. Then you must be
either an alien or a pauper.
What must we do? First, take
the necessary steps to extend the
incorporate limits of the town to
one mile in every direction from
the court house. Work with all
your might to this end. If this
is accomplished, then ask for an
election, and vote to issue town
bonds for water works, electric
lights, macadamized streets and
the building of a handsome town
hall.
Probably a Fatal Difficulty
Last Sunday ufternoon, at the
colored Baptist church near Newcut,
Sid Alsohrooks and another
negro named Williams, had a
difficulty in which Alsohrooks
was seriously shot, receiving a
wound in his stomach which it is
supposed will prove fatal. Dr.
Sapp is attending the wounded
negro. Williams tied immediately
alter the shooting in the direction
of North Carolina.
