LANCASTER ENTERPRISE Published .cry Wctl ao.sda.s 'i'uu - uQUrprise t'a&libhiag. Company A. J. CLARK, K.litor. APRIL, - - - -21, 1SJ>7. No Alonopoly of Fools in Lancaster. Those who are disposed to kick at the proposed oidinance in reference to hog pens should read the special to tlit? News and (Jou rier l'rom Florence, published in this issue. It is worthy of remark that Florence is the home of the Secretary of the State Board of Health,Dr. James Evans, who, it will be seen from the special referred to,-complimented the Florence Board of Health for i n? rAueiieni ruies iiiiiipn'ii, nun recommended them to other towns." In the 1 i<r 1 \t <?f the foregoing facts we presume it will be admitted by those of our citizens who claim that the hog pen ordiance is foolish, absurd, Ac., that all the fools do not live in Lancaster. In the April number of the Cosmopolitan appears an excellent article by Herbert Spencer, on "Modern College Education." iii which he uses these words: "How to live??that is the essential question for us. Not how to live in the mere material sense only, but in the widest sense. The general problem is?the right ruling of conduct in all directions under all circumstances. In what way to treat the body in what way to treat the mind; in what way to manage our a (fairs; in what way to bring up a family : in what way to behave as a citizen; in what way to utilize all those sources of happiness which Nature supplies?how to use all our faculties to the greatest ad vantage ol ourselves and others? how to live completely. And this, being the great thing nee-:ful for us to learn, is by consequence, the great thing which education has to teach. To pre pare us for complete living is the function which education lias to discharge; and the only rational mode of .judging of any educational course is to.judge in what degree it discharges such function.'' THE SOUTH S OPPORTUNITIES. Mr. MCLaurin's Speech in Congress Doinq Good Work. (From TIip New York Sun. i The liberal opportunities for general debates allowed at the present session of Congress have been improved by Repre.-entative John I,. Mcl.aurin, of South Carolina, with some interesting remarks about the part of the country from which he comes. Mr. Depew has described the South as a region of vas*, untouched forest and coal and iron veins, favored by health conditions unparalleled, and "the best climate in the world." Mr. MoLatirin, coming to particulars, finds 1^3,000,000 acres of unbroken forests in the South, with pine, walnut, oak, cherry,cypress, hickory and other woods; enormous stores of granite, marble ana sanustone; phosphate rock in wonderful abundance, and hi some places, as he learn", coal, iron ore and limestone close together in the same range, "a condition that exists nowhere else in the world." Last year's cotton crop was 9,837,000 hales, or 82 per cent, of the whole world's production, and "brought more money from abroad than all other agricultural products combined." The total cotton production since 1790, at its price in gold each year, is reckoned at $15,000,000,000?in ex-1 acter figures, $1*1,398,588,430.

Last year the South r produced 720,302,561 pounds <d " sugar, 37,617,070 gallons of niolas- T ses, and 108,605,440 pounds of j * rice, although of each of these!1 articles far more was imported. T Manufactures are growiugonor- ? tnous at the South. According to ' (ien^ral Longstreet, their products doubled in value between 1880 and 181)0, while the wages of factory hands nearly tripled, as ^ also did the capital invested in , cotton manufacturing. But, what I is very remarkable, that capital, | according to the General, has al- ' ready nearly doubled since 1890,|( being about $120,000,000 now toj* $61,100,000 then. ! n 1880 the col- j 1 ton seed oil capital was $3,500,- I 1 000. and now it is over ,$30.000--I \ 000; in 1880 the South made 307,- c 000 tons of piir iron, and in 1805 t it tnnde 1,702,880 tons; in 1800 > , ifsjcoal output was 0,000,000 tons, ?. j and now it is at tin* rate of 30,000,000 tons. Low cost of labor, j freedom from strikes, nearness to 'he cotton fields and low taxes all ' favor the mills of the South. Congressman Levering, of Mas- < ! sachusetts, himself a manulac- < turer, with largo interests in the j i 'South, gave like testimony in his j < recent speech on the tariff. With-' I in two years the Smith's addition ; t of spindles,he said, had been 882,- 1 j 1 7Mi.and New Kngiand's only 071.- ' j | 223, the former being an increase j of 33 per cent., ami the latter of I ; f>;\. "If I were asked where in (" all our country was to he found ( ' tlie best planned, best ordered ?' and best equipped mill running in low numbers and to the best I | profit, 1 would point to South 1 < i v ! v ni uii nil, , Then the people of the South, ( says Mr. MeLaurin, "are religious- } ly incline!), and churches are ^ ! found everywhere." Their educa tional facilities will appear to ' visitors from other parts of the I 'country "not disappointing, and ^ I their Rtandard of morals fully up t | to the average." The land titles ( I are perfect and the taxes envia j. ! bly low. lint, of the favored State of South Carolina Mr. MeLaurin particularly speaks. In 1890 Mr. /.. .1. 1 >rake,of Marlboro county, won a prize of $1,000 offered for the largest yield, by gathering 255} j bushels of corn from one acre. This amount looks large, but he did it bv getting two crops, planting the first so that by the time it matured he had a second ready to, cultivate between the rows. "I have myself," says Mr. McLaurin,, "made a crop of oats, cut them tlio 1 af I iitu^ rJo ?? /?<! o ? i ",v "? " ."III nm* peas, and thus harvested three J .crops the same season from the 4 i same land. I have also made aji I fair crop of cotton after wheat j | and rye." < >n another prize atim-1 | ulus, year before last, Mr. J. C. I j Fletcher, from 100 acres, pro- 1 iuced, at market prices, $3,72(5.45 l vorth of farm products, ranging , roin 4S bales of cotton to 400 ^ lozen eggs. In 1803 South Carolina raised >0.338,895 pounds of rice,or about ^ uie-fourth of the whole country's >roduct, 29,2(51,422 bushels of s orn,4,767,821 of oats, 1,732,824 of c vheat, 747,471 bales of cotton, i 122,298 pounds of tobacco,besides 1 ye, potatoes,and so on. Apricots, j herries, olives, pomegranates and j nany other fruits are raised in j ibundance. There are 10,000,0(H) icres of yellow pine alone, and he turpentine stills turn out an . innual product of $3,000,000. The :um, magnolia, sycamore, ash and 1 ither trees are well known. Beau- r iful building stones and fine clays 1 ind ochres are also among South t Carolina's treasures, while her g tone fertilizers, in deposits some- ( imes a foot thick, and with 500 s o 1,IKM) tons to the acre, are dp- c lared to be the richest on the j ontinent. , Of spindles there are more than > million at work in the State, c heir capital of $12,000,000 to $15- ' K)0,000 being drawn from the r s'orth and Eeast. Of Columbia's I our cotton mills, one, the Ciran- r >\, was built in a cotton field,and 1 oielosed a patch from which cot- ? on was picked while the brick vails were going up. That was , ninimi/ing the distance between 4 rop add mill. Pointing his moral, Mr. McLau- t in says that the South asks a fair } hare of consideration for her in j erests in the current tariff bill, ^ tnd also wants Northern thrift j ind capital to enlarge her mateial interests. "Are we not of the \ ame great national family, an ' ntegral factor of the same great ' iation?" Certainly he has set 1 orth with enthusiasm what the t South has accomplished thus far. | | i BANNER SANITARY MEASURES. ? 1 lo Hogs Allowed In Florence. Even j on the Outskirts. Florence, April 17.?The resru ar monthly meeting of the Hoard I >1 Health was held yesterday af- 1 ernoon. Considerable routine nisiness was transacted. When he Board was organized two ears ago I hey established some ?f the very best sanitary regula- i ions of any city or town in thel) State, and in the report of thejj >tnto Board of Health for I ho | ^ ear 1895 the rules were printed j * n full. As a foot note the See- p etary of the State Board of 11 lealth complimented the Flor- I r nee Hoard of Health for the ex- j ellent rules adopted and reeomnended them toother towns and'1 ities. tho result of which has .eon that the rules and ro>rula-!'S ions o! the Florence Hoard of ienlth have been sought alter j >y other Hoards of Health in! >ne or two other cities and everal of the larger towns of 1 lie State, and have been adopted ' 11 most in toto by those Hoards. ( )ne of the very best rules of thej^ Hoard is that which forbids the 1 keeping of ho^s or pig. within t he j ity limits, except in an open lot >f two acres in size; not more than ,1 ive hogs or pigs to the acre. The! * ine is from $ I to .$10. During !r? past uion tli the health ollieer i ?rosecnted thirty-two persons tori : iol at ion of this law, and each of j hem was fined in the Mayor's 'onrt for violations of that nil".

J I'lie result was that a petition rom a large number of citizens, nostly colored, was presented to! he Board of Health at the last neeting, asking that the rule be changed, so as to allow people! iving in the suburbs to keep wine upon their premises in pens | ?r lots, such pens or lots to be nspected at the pleasure of the1 lealth ollicer, etc. The committee nade their report yesterday, map- j >ing out certain streets as a line jeyond which half of the com nittee was in favor of allowing wine to be kept and the other lalf was in favor of the law re- ; naining as it now stands.

Too a Much Me! * The use of the surgeon's knife is becoming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm.
