COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Lancaster Household

To have the pains and aches OF bad
back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders is enough to make any kid

great change can be brought about

The EDITOR OF THE ROCK HILL
RECORD.

RECORD.
We have known some of our
contemporaries and others, from
time to time 10 undertake to
throw off on Mr.. Schwrar, of the
Rock Hill Record on, the ground
that he is q yankee" The only
object we can see to such filings
is that those who make them
seem 20 think that the people
they make them to have no more
sense than to be prejudiced there
by. As matter OF fact, Mr..
Schwrar was born and raised in
the south, and the only founda-
ton for calling him Yankee is
based on the circumstance of his
having published a newspaper
in Pennsylvania for six years.
But all this is of no consequence
True manhood and loyalty to
high principles are of more con-
sequence than geography OF
birthplace. There is no monop-
oily of them either north or south
We have known Mr.. Schwrar
to be rather far afield at times,
because of unfamiliarity with
local history and traditions, and
that is something that is liable
to happen to any newcomer.
whether he halls from Maine or
Texas; but we have never yet
known this gentleman to try to
maintain even a doubtful posi-
ton, after he has been accurate
ly informed as to the iacts.-
Yorkville Enquirer.
Our esteemed contemporary
very properly rebukes those who
have been so silly as to "throw
off, on the editor of the Rock
Hill Record on the alleged ground
that he is a yankee" There
is no prejudice in this country
against persons who come here
from the north. On the contrary
they are cordially welcomed
Some of South Cardinals most
useful and progressive citizens
today are men of northern birth
and "raising"-men noted fol-
their activities insthe upbuildine
of the State. 1t is character and
manhood that count in the
south-not the place of one:
nativity.
However, as the Enquirer
says, Mr.. Schwrar was "borr
and raised in the SOUTH" But
it makes no difference from
whence he came, he is making 8
noise like good citizen and is
publishing one of the best papers
in the state, a journal which
would reflect credit on any com.
munity. 1t is only through The
Record that we know Mr..
Schwrar, as We have never had
the pleasure of meeting him, but
we recognize in his writings the
true malone unselfishly de!
voted to the best interests of the
city and State in which he has
cast his lot.

was so imbucd with his RESPONSE
bility towards the interests of this
class that shortly after his election
he iourneyed to Boise, Idaho, and
sat out the famous Haywood trial
to gain information how labor was
being harassed by the Republican
administration operating through
prejudlced courts. At least that
is the view Mr.. Smith took of the
trial and ho did not hide his views
in this respect under a bushei. Ma
turally we would have expected
Mr.. Smith to let no opportunity slip
by him to show his interest in the

shape this opportunity might pre-
sent itself. 1t SO happened that
while Mr.. Smith was representing

Appropriations Must Lapse.

State Auditor W. W. Wilder
told the Democratic leaders in the
last legislature that the state reye-
nue for the biennial period ending
December 81, 1908, would be not
more than eight millions. They
told him he WAS too pessimis,ic
and went ahead with appropriations
aggregating niue and one hall mil
lions.
The revenue will be Just what
Mr.. Wilder estimated, and there
is not now, nor will there be in the
treasury this year, enough money
with which TO pay the one aud one
half millions Of excess appropria
tions. Appropriations in excess
of the revenue will not be paid at
all, as all appropriations Dot paid
when The Legislature meets must
lapse.
There will be no deficiency in
the treasury, rs the Auditor and
the Treasurer will not permit the
funds available for regular APP
preparations 10 be absorbed by
these special appropriations. They
are Republicans and will not violate
their official oa,hs. Tae consiltu-

that there was no necessity for G
