Look After the Town.

It Is charged against the Ameri-
can people that while they are models
OF neatness and order in their own
homes they are careless about the
appearance of their streets and other
places This charge Is too sweeping
yet it has much truth in 1t. Waste
paper. uncut grass and weeds lessen
the attractiveness of any town. The
real remedy is for citizens TO take
the same pride in the appearance of
their city or village as they take In
that of their own homes. In fact,
The city should he considered as the
common home of It's inhabitants and
all should have common interest
In II.

CLOSED THIRTY DAYS.
Dispensaries May Remain Shut Up
for That Period.

1t is possible that there will be
about thirty days Of absolute prohi-
bition throughout the State begin
ming Tuesday week. when the wet
counties of the State vote on the
proposition, instead of only two
weeks.
The almost universally accepted
conception of the proper interpreta-
tion Of the act of the last legislature
which provided for these elections
was that those counties which voted
in favor of retaining their dispensa-
ries would be allowed to reopen
them Immediately following the elec-
tions, but Dispensary Auditor West
and Gov. Ansel take a different view
of the matter, holding that the dis
pensaries can not he reopened until
the election returns are finally passed
upon. The State board Of canvassers
can not pass upon them till ten days
after the election, and 1t will. proba-
bly, be about two weeks before all
Of them are gotten to Columbia.
In case the State board reverses
the findings In any Of the counties
this would likely mean taking the
ease into the courts, which would
still further delay matters, and keep
the dispensaries open perhaps many
months. The Columbia Record says
Governor Ansel has sent letter to
Attorney General Lyon asking for
his opinion on the question. Mr..
Lyon has not yet had time to pass
upon the case, but at first blush Is
rather disposed to take the opposite
view from Governor Ansel.

we are not only living but are up
and doing.
Orangeburg has for years lacked
good correspondents for the daily
papers. We certainly mean no re-
Election when we say the city and
county of Orangeburg has never had
but one live newspaper correspondent
for the daily papers that we recall,
and that was Mr.. L. Hayne Wanna
maker, Jr.. who was soon employed
by the News and Courier upon its
regular force.
All the progressive cities IN this
State have live correspondents; Spar
tanburg. Florence, York, Rock Hill
and numerous other places have been
built up largely through keeping
their people and their doings before
the public through its newspapers.
There Is good reason why the
daily papers do not have live young
correspondents here. and it is a good
reason too, the people Of Orangeburg
City have never required 1t Of the
papers In return for their patron
age.
There Is something happening IN
Orangeburg County every day that
would make interesting reading for
both ourselves and the public.

THE CYNlC'S MUSINGS.

From the rolling stones point OF
view moss may not be a desirable as
set.
There is nothing new under the
sun, especially in the way of resolu-
tions.
There are almost as many different
brands OF reform as there are of re-
ligion.
Many man who tells you he IS de
serving is lucky to escape what he
deserves.
A mans friends can sometimes
make him more uncomfortable than
his enemies.
1t takes a mighty smart man to
know enough to conceal what he
doesn't know.
When a girl boasts that she has a
man at her feet we are apt to wonder
who threw him there.
When you hear man Boosting that
he understands women it's safe bet
that he has never been married.
The woman who makes her own
clothes doesn't have to boast OF it.
The other women know it without be-
ing told.

quest that ii be placed in the spring
house. He asked also that a priest
be requested to ofilciate when the
painting was unveiled Father Steidt
of st. Andrews was selected to carry
out the request, but sent word that
he would not bless the picture until
he had the assurance that the wife
of the painter, and no other woman, "
had served as model AS it was inn
possible to secure this statement, the
authorities had to dispense with the
