Fred J. Howe, Il veteran of the Phil
ippine war, still wearing the uniform
of his regiment and carrying the
scars and injuries of battle, is in the
CITY looking FOR his parents, whom he
has not seen since he left their home
in Maysville, Ky, at the outbreak of
the SpdnishAmerican war. He has
travelled through n states and part
of this territory in search of them
and if anyone knows where they are
located they should help the young
man out by giving him the desired
information. Upon his return from
the war he found his people had left
MIysville and no trace of them could
be found. In 1898 at the age 10 years,
Howe joined a Kansas volunteer reTI-
ment as mascot and went to the Pail
ippines. From there his regiment
was sent to China ard while scaling
the walls of Pekin, along with the
allied forces, the boy was shot in the
throat, the ball passing out behind
the left vocal organs so that he can
only talk IN d whisper. He bears
seventeen other bullet marks on his
body and limbs, received in the vari-
Gus encounters in which he took part.
ALTHOUGH ri years oid, Howe has the
stature of a boy.

just escaped from somebody's
cage, "during the night" as our
contemporary expresses it, and
he would have us believe that it
was the only 'possum in Rock
Hill. The Herald, on the other
hand, in noting the incident,
said the 'possum was found in a
box in a large store, where it
had been for some time, and
quoted a prominent Rock Hill
ian as saying that it was useless
to "tramp through the woods"
for 'possums, since "they are
" 'entiful in town." We leave it
brothers Schwarer and Hull,
hey can, to dovetail their di-
yorgent tales.
But to return to the Records
belated story of the Lancaster
"catch." Our contemporary
concludes it as follows:
This brings to our mind an-
other incident in regard to bro.
ther Connors always trying to
sling Lancaster mud on Rock
Hill. One of our printers DUR
ing a recent wet spell, when
there was considerable mud
around, came in from dinner and
remarked to another of our
printers (who by the way is from
Lancaster) that this was about
as muddy a place as he had ever
seen. And the reply OF the
Lancasterite was, "My sakes, you
have never been to Lancaster,
have you?"
No sir, we are not guilty Of
"trying to sling Lancaster mud
on Rock Hill" where you admit
that there is or was "consider.
able mud around" Whoever
heard Of carrying coal to New
castle? What you mistake for
Lancaster mud is the abundant
local product which your citizens
have been hu-ling at one another
during the heated sewerage and
high school property discussions.

Here's the way the new occu
pant of the Chester Lanterns
editorial soap box "salutes" his
best neighbor:
Lancaster is TO have sale
of building lots and is so tickled
over it that she is "blowing"
about growing so fast. Why
we sell them so frequently here
in Chester that we hardly think
1t necessary TO say anything
about it We are growing fast
all the time and just little
matter of one of our wide awake
real estate men selling building
lots has become we'll nigh an
every day business"
When Lancaster sell lots she
sells lets that are lots-not cut
up cow pastures, decayed per-
simmon orchards, crawfish fats,
wiregrass gullies and nutgrass
knolls. Why, dirt is so cheap in
Chester that Lancaster actually
has two of her cotton mills and
mill towns located over there.
Several hundred fine lots have
been sold at good prices in the
city of the Red Rose this year
and over two hundred more nave
just been placed on the market.

KEEPING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT


News, was raising great hula
balloo recently about some one
catching 'possum here that had
gotten out of someone's cage
during the night, laying stress
on Rock Hill being IN the back
woods, etc. Now, here comes
the real facts from ore of the
leading citizens and business
men of his town TO the effect
that few days ago little boy
of that place went to his fathers
barn TO feed some pigeons and
to his great surprise instead OF
finding his young pigeons he
found great big 10-pound pos
sum had taken up his abode in
the barn, and had already de-
voured the pigeons. Now, we
want to ask our good friend why
he failed to publish this in The
News? Was he afraid the Joke
would be on "Snyder?"-The
Rock Hill Record.
Now that's calculated to make
us tired. Is it possible that
we'll never be able to instill
into the minds of our Rock Hill
contemporaries that the first
duty of newspaper is to pub
lish the news while it is news? ?
As the News and Courier would
say, give your readers something

they thought about last week or

that we had occasion to comment
on the Herald's tardiness in an

had discovered America. And
now the Record publishes with
great slee what it innocently
considers a fresh piece of news
about 'posSum in Lancaster,
and between its exultant chuck
les, asks why The News "failed"
to publish the story. Why, bless
your soul, The News told all
about that 'possum three weeks
ago! In proof OF the fact we re-
