sensation has been hit on that Apaches

hydrophobia as q new method of prevent

In two words. Monsieur Simard. the
Neuiliy police commissary. has just come
back from Gand. In belgium, with three
dogs OF peculiar breed.
Belgians are strong on the use OF dogs.
1t Is the one country where more dogs than
horses are engaged In pulling wagons. And
just as the Belgians have no sentimeqtaiity
about making dogs work, SO they have no
sentimentality about encouraging watch
dogs to bite!
The Gand dogs are a wolf-like breed Of
fiesh-tearing. man-chasing police does-am-
buiatory watch dogs rather than man hunt
ers in the bloodhound sense. And whether
it be that Belgian police lack sentiment or
Belgian toughs lack Imagination. Gand has
never been cried at for threatening the
poor world" with hydrophobia.
But. oh. the scare in Nealilly! The lower
populace of nearby Lovaliois and Bouiogne
take sides with the Apaches against the ia
humanity of chasing any man with filthy
foaming fangs! And Neuilly streets are
growing less frequented by a husky type Of
youth with siouching gait and carefully
trimmed hair.

CAMPHoR FARMS IN TEXAS.

far there are only two. both of which are

confidently expect their state to become
one of the great camphor producing regions
Of the world.
Practically the entire supply Of camphor
now comes from Formosa. The demand
has increased to such an extent that the
attention of all the leading countries of the
world has been directed to opening up q
new source of supply This is made neces-
sary by the fact that in the manufacture
Of modern explosives which are used in
high-power guns camphor forms an i'm
portant ingredient
Now that the japanese government con-
trolls the worlds supply Of the product. it is
by no means certain that 1t may be OBJ
tanned in the desired quantities at all times
in the future. In order to provide against
any such contingency as this the growth OF
the campher shrub is being encouraged in
Texas
The oamphor experimental farm at
Wharton was established nearly a year
ago. The shrubs have thrived wonderfully
well, and they are now as high as mans
head
The process in operation in Formosa for
extracting the camphor is to chop the trees
down and cut them into small pieces from
which the camphor is then distilled Dr.
Watkins will adopt different method in
Texas
He sows the camphor seeds like wheat or
oats, and the shrub quickly sprouts When

1t will be cut down by moving machine
at a height of about one foot from the
ground. The several portions will be put
through the distilling process and the cam
phor extracted.

THE DIFFERENCE IN TOWNS.

The following striking differ
entiation Of three kinds of towns
is taken from the Augusta Her
aid:
If a town doesn't keep we'll up
with the times it soon falls back
into the has been class. The old
idea OF quiet shady streets and
leisurely manner OF doing things
can't long obtain in any commu-
nifty that is to keep up with pro-
gress and ahead of the has.been
stage. Once a town falls into the
habit of living a go-easy life and
allowing public affairs and ulili-
ties to become old, fashioned-up.
to-date people will begin to re-
gard it as has-been and transfer
their business dealings to other
more progressive and live com
munities.
The not yet but-soon town is
about the same as the has-been.
They both take roads that lead
to the same destination, stagna-
ton. Nothing makes a has-been
quicker than postponing things.
Procrastination doesn't only
steal your present time, but it
takes mortgage on your future.
The go ahead, business-like
town which has all the improve
ments and live spirit necessary
to the making of an up-.o.date
city is the town that is found in
the Is-Now class. In this age OF
rich prosperity and progress the
largest share of the good things
go to the Is-Now town. That city
which is not making good use of
the present is most likely living
on its reputation of the past, and
of the future it need expect moth
ing.
Lancaster, of course, is one of
the ls-Now kind. Our progress
i've citizens would never be con-
tent to remain in any other
class.

NNEEM# NNEEM# SYTEM OF MUNICIPAL GOV
ERNMENT.

The plan or administering the
business affairs of municipality
by commission is attracting
no little attention Just now. 1t
has been tried ina number of cit.
les with marked success, among
them Galveston and Houston.
Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee.
The Charlotte Observer, in an
editorial on the subject, quotes
as follows from the Houston
Post:
cit is a demonstrated success,
and is worth its weight in gold.
1t Is true that opposition will be
encountered when an attempt is
made 10 suppiant the old plan
with a sensible, money-saving
labor-saving grattiess system.
such as we have in Houston, but
experience proves that opposition
cannot survive against common
sense and economy.
"The system is strong in the
respect that dollars worth of
material or labor is obtained for
every dollar expended; that no
money is wasted on sinecures or
needlessly expended: that ward
politics, the mother of municipal
corruption, is entirely eliminated.
"The commission is com posed
of mayor and four aldermen,
elected by all the people of the
city. All other officers are filled
by appointment, and each APP
pointee is held to a strict per-
tormance of his duty.
"The Houston system will! re.
deem any city that adopts it from
the curse of spoils, politics graft,
extravaganza, bankruptcy and
waste. 1t will save thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers, and
guarantee good, efficient business
government"
That's a strong tribute from a

1875. The crowd must have been

"UNCOMpLIMETARY TO WOMAN"


We find the following editorial
in the Greenwood Journal of
last Wednesday, under the cap
ton, Uncomplimentary to Wo.
man"
"For several weeks, we have
seen an article going the rounds
Of the press which contained the
uncomplimentary sayings, in
many languages, about women.
Some of these sayings were pref
ty severe. We never thought a
great deal about them, save to
scan them, aud let them pass.
There was no temptation to use
our scissors.
Imagine our surprise when
we saw the aforesaid article in
the Lancaster News, Of which our
good friend Col. Charles Il. Con.
nors is editor. We have a dim
recollection that, in the long ago,
it was charged by some old maids,
that he had made pretty heavy
thrust at them, but we have al
ways been skeptical about this.
We could never believe that one
so gallant would make unkind
cuts, even at old maids.
This last act, however, is be-
yond our comprehension. We
are bewildered. Our friend must
have been just recovering from
a spell Of grip, or he may have
had virago run against him,
and for the moment-in haste
he concluded that all the women
deserved these anathemas, and
he buried them at them. Posi-
bly, he was just recovering from
a shock caused by some express
ion which fell from the mouths
OF those mules of which he is
wont TO write, and for which
Billy Buck will vouch.
We can assure our friend that.
so far as we are concerned, had
we let such thing as that get
into the Journal we should not
have ventured to have gone
home in some time. We would
nave known better. We should
have preferred a vacation. And
we should not be surprised to
learn that our good friend has
been camping out for the past
week. !"
We presume that our esteemed
contemporary has reference to an
article headed Woman in Prov.
erhs, which was republished in
The News a few weeks ago.
Unlike our Greenwood friend, we
were very much struck with the
article, which we first saw, we
believe, in The Charleston Sun
day News. 1t was a revelation
to us that even in the distant past
so many peoples of the earth held
woman in such low esteem. The
proverbs are so much at variance
with the exalted regard enter.
tanned for woman in this coun.
try, it occurred to us that even
our fair friends would enjoy read
ing them and noting the striking
contrast.
1t is true that we had just re
covered from a six-weeks' siege
of the grip, and that Billy Buck
and Bakers talking mules will
back us up in anything we say or
10, but neither they nor the fes
tive grip germs can be rightfully
called upon to share responsible.
