CAN'T BLAME 1T ON LANCASTER"

The esteemed Herald of Rock
Hill republished The News
grateful Acknowledgement OF the
receipt of picture recently sent
us by prominent citizen of that
city of Crock Hill's Electric
Railway" and then proceeded
to saddle on Lancaster" respon-
sibility for the antique "sys.
tem's" lack of success. In its
extended comment the Herald
said:
In Rock Hill there is street
named Lancaster" avenue and
it is from this thoroughtare that
the wonderful car line starts.
We believe the name was a 10
nah to the car line, notwithstand-
ing the fact that some of the
most prominent citizens live on
it. Everything that we have
ever heard of has a beginning
and there is great deal in the
start, so who could expect the
Rock Hill Electric Railway to
be success starting on Lancas
ter avenue. Is the name Lam
caster enough to Jonah the
whole system, including the
mules and the driver2
No; Lancaster ls a name that
conjures, and instead of being
Rock Hills Jonah, it is the clty's
guiding star and mascot Why
If Rock Hill were to cut out
every distinctive Lancaster
feature about it, there wouldn't
be much left--except, of course,
the mud holes. Even the bright
young editor of the Herald, who
comes of good oldLancaster stock,
would have to skiddoo. Yes,
Rock Hill without its "Lancas
ter" would be like the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out.

published in this paper, that, ac-
cording to visitors from Chester,
the cotton mill men of that city
were Offering the farmers one-half
cent above the market for spot
cotton provided they would wait
60 days for their pay. Col.
Springs says that so far as the
two mills in Chester of which he
is the head, the Eureka and the
Sprinestein, are concerned, there
is no foundsv.on whatever for he
report--that his mills have made
no such,prerosterous proposition.

ALAsKA's LABOR DEMAND.

Special emphasis is given 10 the
demand for labor in Alaska by the
statement of John Rowan, who dis
cussed conditions in the Tanana dis
trict. The association Mr.. Rowan
represents is seeking 1000 men, and
will guarantee winter employment
to 3 900 more, making total OF
5000.
The gold output in the Tanana
district was only $9.000,000 in 1907,
when, as Mr.. Rowan says, it should
have been at least SIS, 100000. I'm
less labor can be secured he does not
believe the output for 1908 will
amount to more than $5,0OO,0O0.
however, Mr.. Rowan says the yield
this year would probably reach $16,-
600, 200.
The tendency of population to flow
from instead of toward Alaska, isan
anomaly; but it is probably due to
the freqtent labor disturbances in
the northern country and the erron-
eous reports which grow out of these
disturbances.
Opportunities await the industri-
Gus man nthe Tanana district and
in other parts of Alaska. There are
which cannot be found elsewhere.
So long as Alaska offers such fair
returns on energy expended, there
should be no trouble about securing
many alluring possibilities there

WANTED-A CONGRESSIONAL
CANDIDATE.

Why should not Central Washing
ton be represented at the coming
election by a candidate for congress
ffGm this section. At the present
time there are four candidates for
this office from Spokane, and one or
more from the southeastern part Of
the state. Up to the present time
there has been no one announced
from Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan,
Ferry, Adams, Yakima, Stevens, Kit
itas, Lincoln or Benton counties.
The state of Washington at the
present time is divided into three
congressional districts, one for the
eastern part of the state, one for the
northwest part of the state on the
west side, and one including Tacoma
for the southwestern part of the
state.
If the proper man can be brought
forward and one upon whom all
might unite, the chances will be that
he may be elected.

CHINESE HAVE no
USE FOR SURGEONS

It may occur to many people that
they have nsyer seen q Chinaman
bereft Of An arm. leg or other mem
bers Of his body. The reason for
this II that all Orientals. says the
Chicago Tribune. maintain pro-
found objection to surgical operations.
Indeed, they much prefer to die
rather than to be deprived Of mem
ber. because as 1t IL undeniable that
they oame into the world with two
arms. two legs, eight fingers. two
thumbs, ETC., they much Of necessity
go ont Of It with the same number.
Otherwise. once on the other side,
they might be sent to hunt for a mis-
sing member and spend the gre stor
part Of eternity in finding 1t.
Perhaps the nearest approach to in.
terual surgery that Chinese doctor
will attempt Ia to stand on the pa
tient's body and with bare feet move
about on the part afflicted.
In dontistry the Chinese have reach
ed the discovery that the nerve is q
worm and the best method to treat
All aching tooth is to loosen it by
