We have in onr language many maxims to teach us the value of persistence and to show us the far reaching: influence of our acts. Yet, when we would undertake to accomplish a worthy object, we are apt to be discouraged with the thought that probably we shall not he able to complete the undertaking, or perhaps the indifference of those who would be most beneficial dampens our spirits. Some things we ought all to do on principle and without hope of reward. Some things each one is especially qualified to do, and for that reason alone we ought to do them. Indifference to a worthy movement is often due to lack of knowledge regarding its object, and therefore every important project should be preceded by a campaign of education. Sometimes a little educating of this 1 kind will enlist the strongest Support from persons who before!! were indifferent if not hostile. j( u? : ? i kjvsujc jjciauiiri nitty i'C i ir->l ii ; project for personal reasons, he- ; cause they hold a private grudge | against the person making the ; proposal or leading in the move- ! ment. Rut in general the sympathy and support of all enter- | prising citizens can be enlisted in any worthy movement when j they understand its purposes and appreciate its merits. Every-' one, therefore, who aspires :o leadership in any cause, or who! is ambitions to promote any community movement must recognize that his first work is educative, he must first help the people to an understanding of his purpose before lie can expect them to lend their support in bringing about its accomplishment. This kind of foresight has characterized all great leaders of men and is a quality that is indispensable to the successful promotion of any movement.

Three white men who had disguised themselves by blacking their faces with lamp black Friday held up and robbed the cashier of the White Engineering company of $lt>,000 when the cashier and two other white men were hearing the company's offices at Parr Shoals, Lexington county. The three men were going up the railroad, when the robbers sprang up from a high embankment and covering the men with revolvers demanded that thev surrender the monev. One of the men, a deputy sheriff, was slightly wounded hy a shot from the pistol of one of the robbers when the deputy attempted to reach for his gun. The robbers, with the $16,000 in cash, made a dash for the woods, and although the entire force of the White engineering company, about 1,000 men, quit worn and joined in the chase, the robbers made good their escape. Posses have been scouring the country for miles round about since the robbery, but up to yesterday morning there had been dis!& ?& covered no clue as to the whereabouts or identity of the men who committed the theft. Selecting Court House Site. York county's court house commission has not yet made a selection from the several lots tr> 1 / *. /? ouerea ior a site ior tne new $75,000 court house. An all-day session of the commission was held the last week and it was decided that the site for the new court house would not be selected until the present court house and lot had been sold and Monday, October 6. was named as the date upon which the property will be sold at public auction. Owing to the fact that there is such a wide divergence of opinion between the commission and the various sites that are being considered, it was decided that the condemnation proceedings should be commenced at once against what is known as the Marshall and Witherspoon properties on East Liberty street, the F. E. Smith property on the corner of West Jefferson and Congress (the main businessstreet of the town) and thi Hunter property on West Liberty street, and possibly the Bratton property on the corner of East Jefferson and Congress streets, and then when the old site has M E A C H A Cor A shipment just in of tl the very latest styles, at $1.( R. & G.
