Enlisting Support.
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(

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.

friends from other parts to

Robbers Make Big Haul.
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
