Occasionally one will hear the remark, "I wish I was out of this town," and then one feels like saying', "I, too. wish you were," for a man who stands on the street corners chewing and spitting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers and newspaper men would skin a man to a finish, and a whole lot more, is a nuisance and an abomination. Any town pestered with one or more such worthies would be justified in ekercising cowhide authority on the bosom of their pants. No one is obliged to live where he is not suited. If things don't suit you, move to where they will. A growler and sorehead in a town is an enterprise killer every time. It would pay a town to donate him $5 and tell him to move on. In this age of trusts the newspaper tnan has not been forgotten, and so we have the type founders' trust. There can be no doubt as to its existence with the present price of printers' material, all priced alike in the different catalogues, and all cuts on discounts coming from the different houses in the same form and at the same time. The publishers have been quietly enduring the extortion of the type founders for years, and it is time we had our innings. I | # There are times in the worn 01 a newspaper man when he must be controlled by his sympathies for the innocent ones in the publication of news. This paper bows to the inevitable in such cases and is willing to accept the criticism of some if good is accomplished and aching hearts are saved further pain. According to a late census bulletin in only two States, South Carolina and Mississippi, do the negroes outnumber the whites, and in no other two States is the negro who conducts himself properly offered better opportunities to make a worthy citizen of himself than in South Carolina and Mississippi. It cannot be said of Charleston that it is so much worse to allow horse racing than it is for Columbia to allow the horses the use of its track to get in trim for the Charleston races. One thing for which the country -- *1?1-~ ?),<, try the case and, 11 tne man de iouihj guilty, to impose and collect the fine. The prosecuting witness incurs no expense for the affidavit or for anything i connected with the case. The State L attends to that. A These facts in connection with the A trespass law are things to be umemA bered. i editor may reiurn maims 10 mat w*r almost exhausted supply of congressional wrapping paper will become abundant soon again. How Lancaster Built Good Roads. From time immemorial, says an exchange, Lancaster county has borne an undesirable reputation as one of the bad road counties of the South. Being very hilly much work counted for little, and that little liable to be destroyed by the next freshet. Three years ago the road question yras Solved by the Legislature. A chaingang was established to build two miles of ideal road on every highway leading from the county seat. This benefits all the people. A five mill tax was levied to construct an automobile boulevard through the county. Twenty miles of this has been completed. It is a sand-clay road. 30 feet wide, with one slight bill and not a bump on it. Seventy-three touring cars making a race from Savannah to Charlotte pronounced it the best and most beautiful road in the South. This is only our first; others will follow this beginning. A two mill tax was imposed for building and repairing bridges and as a result there are five concrete bridges in the county, each having fills varying to 200 yards long and 25 feet high. A three dollar per capita tax was levied for the benefit of all other roads. An overseer ana iorceoi nanus are employed for general road work over the county. Some of the roads are leased to contractors. A civil engineer is employed all of the time. All work is done with a view to being of permanent value. The roads are graded, straightened, widened and timber cut from the sides in order to let in the sunlight. More progress has been made in road constructing in Lancaster county in the last three years than in all previous times, and this progress will not be checked. Money is the first requisite, v brains the second. Make a definite beginning at some time and some place. Never quit work. You will soon see the value of good roads as a time-saver and money-maker. Trespass Law Made Plain. Already several complaints have been heard from the farmers about hunters going through their fields and knocking cotton from the bolls to the ground, and it would not be surprising to hear of indictments being brought against those who are guilty of such offenses. The law as to trespass is very plain. It makes no difference whether land is posted or not. If you go upon it without the consent of the owner or lessee, you commit trespass and are liable tc prosecution under the law. Furthermore, anyone can prosecute you. Tht owner Or the lessee need not appear ir the matter at all. Any one can makt an affidavit before a trial justice, and it then becomes the duty of the triai justice to summon the accused party, ? l- - r j Will Newberry Furnish Next Governor? It look3 very much row as if the county of Newberry is l-o furnish the next governor of South Carolina. So far three candidates have announced themselves for the position and all hail from Newberry. As is well known, Governor Blease is a native of that county, and was mayor of the city of Newberry when he was elected governor. Chief Justice Ira B. Jones formerly lived at Newberry oefore moving to Lancaster, where he now resides. Mr. John T. Duncan, who a few days ago announced his candidacy for governor, is a former Newberrian, but now lives in Columbia. Thus Newberry will be prominently before the people next election, and unless another candidate announces,;Newberry can say that her son will fill the office of governor. Whether there will b-i any further entries hito the race for Governor is not known, but so far no other name has been mentioned, alt lough there is still plenty.of time for that. Unable to Get York Fugitives. Sheriff Brown has been making strenuous but unsuccessful efforts during the past few weeks through Solicitor Henry. Governor Blease and Attorney General Lyon to get requisition papers for two negroes, fugitives from South Carolina justice and apprehended in other States. One of the negroes, John Smith, was indicted in this county for housebreaking and larceny in the night time and arrested at Shelby, N. C. The other was Walter or Bud Wrt.y, wanted for killing another negro in i Fort Mill township on December 26, 1907, and held at Junction City, Kansas. The sheriff did everything that i could be done to secure the papers necessary to bring the two men back to York, but without success. Both negroes have been released and are again at large.?Yorkvilie Enquirer. Mrs. J. E. Massey, Sr., Dead. A telephone message to Fort Mill Saturday morning from Rock Hill con! veyed the sad intelligence of the death ! in that city 'Friday night of Mrs. Manassa Massey, wife of Dr. J. E.

After a long, cloudy and rainy sjiell, we are now having some fair weather, which is very acceptable, and the once beautiful Steel Creek Boulevard is now a first-class "bogvard." Mrs. Tirzah Faris, who has been seriously ill for some weeks, seems ti> be improving slowly. Mr. Frank Faris, of Daytona, Fla., is visiting relatives in this community. Mrs. Lillie Anderson, of Plant City, Fla., is visiting at the .home of her father, S. C. Faris. Mrs. Cynthia Abernathy left the past week for Florida, where she may spend the winter. Miss Maye Coltharp, of Wintiirop college, spent the past week with her parents in this community. And now, brother "H," you jus", divide that big potato with Splinter and he will set 'em up to a great, big, nice "rabbit foot." S. Gold Hill,:Nov. 21. A Cold Winter Ahead. The annual convention of "weather prophets" of Berks county w.^s held at Maxatawny about a mile from h*.~?. when fifty farmers met to make the annual predictions for the coming winter. says a Kunztown, Pa., special. Some declared the winter will be long and severe, while others maintained that it will be mild. Several declared that they are pre 1 paring for a hard and long winter, bej cause the red squirrels and chipmunks ! have become very busy laying in their winter food store, evep going to the extent of collecting green chestnut burrs, breaking them open and hiding away for future use the unripe chestnuts. The farmers declared that they J never before knew the squirrels to J open green chestnut burrs or to begin i storing food so early in the fall. The ; fact that the chestnut crop was an un! usua.ly large one this year is said to be a good reason why the winter will be j long Mid severe, as plenty of nuts were prep;ffed for the tiny forest animals to : tide them over until spring. Others said that ground hogs bur' rowed their way into the earth earlier than usual, which indicates a cool winj ter. They say it has been many years since the ground hogs hibernated so early. Other prophets argue that thin corn husks mean a mild winter. Some of the farmers contend that the weeds have grown to an unusual height this year, and that this indicates a severe winter and lots of snow, since nature causes the weeds to grow tall so that birds can feed upon the seeds when the ground is covered with snow. A j close observer of weather conditions said: "A dry summer is invariably folfollowed by a winter with lots of snow. The average rainfall each year is about i six inches. We are still far from the 1 mark and we can expect lots of snow . to make up for it. A wet fall always means an early winter. This is accounted for by the fact that the rain 1 has already ctoltd the earth and the cold has a good start."
