Current Events,

EX-President is now in Rome.
He expected to have an audience
with the Pope and had his Holi-
ness notified of his wishes. The
Pope was agreeably provided.
Mr.. Roosevelt would consent to
be circumspect in his conduct, as
was required of Mr.. Fairbanks
under similar circumstances
while in Rome. Mr.. Roosevelt
very sensibly. refused to comply
with the wishes of the hermit of
the Vatican, hence he will not
see the Pope.
EX-President Roosevelt visited
King Victor Emanuel at the
Quirinal twice Monday. In the
evening he and Mrs. Roosevelt,
Kermit and Miss Ethel were pres
ent at grand dinner, at the pal
ace, given by the King and
Queen in honor of Col. Roosevelt
and family.

authorized to borrow 100000 at

Well Done, Governor.

If Governor Ansel could have
found anywhere in South Caro-
lima better appointees for the
Asylum C0lhmissi than those
he has selected, their names do
not occur to us. Without excep-
tion the gentlemen named are
men of wide information, clear
vision, sound judgment, practi-
cal common sense and highest
integrity. We congratulate
Governor Ansel, and we con-
gratulate the people of South
Carolina, that he has been able
to secure the services of DIR.

Jackson's Birth Place.

Editor Lancaster News:-I
have not closely followed the
controversy with reference to
the birth place of Andrew Jack
son, but looking over Mills Atlas,
copy of which is owned by
Mr.. Geo. H. O'Leary of this
town, | find a most excellent
map of Lancaster County, sur
veyed aud made by j. Boykin
for Mills Atlas in 1920. On the
map is marked, Birth Place of
Gen. A. Jackson" which is a
short distance above John Craw-
ford's bridge on Waxhaw Creek,
in Lancaster County.
1t will be remembered that
jackson was not inaugurated
President until 1929, and GER
tainly there was no controversy
as to his birth place in 1920,
When TINS map was made, and
yet reliable surveyor, basing
his information upon what those
who knew Jackson perfectly
well. and must have known eX-
actly where he was born, pointed
out as the place Of his birth in
Lancaster County, nine years
before he was inauyurated Pres
ident.
1t seems to me that this map
is very strong corroborative evil
dence that Andrew Jackson
knew what he was talking about
when he asserted that he was a
native of South Carolina.

Importance of School Discipline.

At a meeting of the trustees of
the Lancaster school district held
Monday in the office of Col.
Leroy Springs, chairman of the
board. the resolution published
elsewhere was passed unani-
mously. This action was con-
sidored necessary in view of
some recent occurrences in the
Central school which were cal
culated to do harm. The Board
have acted wisely in the matter.
By the passage of the resolution
they simply put parents on notice
that if they do not wish corporal
punishment inflicted on their
children, they must notify the
Superintendent of the fact, in
advance, and be prepared for
their expulsion for serious Of
fenses against the rules of the
school. In order to operate a
school successfully, in any COM
munity, it is absolutely neces-
sary that discipline should be
maintained at all hazards. If
parents are permitted to inter-
fere and have their way, the
work of the best teachers will
come to naught. Q Ninety-nine
times out of a hundred the child
is in the wrong and when the
parent steps in and takes his or
her part. the result is not only
subversion of discipline but
serious injury is done the child as
well. Parents should remember
that the public schools are sup
ported by the taxes of all the
people and should be run for the
common good and not in the in
terest of any one man or set of
men. Proper consideration should
be had for teachers. They may
have their frailties common to
sr:nar hunapity-but as rule no
more earnest and conscienti tious
class of people live. Their lot is
not often happy one, especially
If tiloir efforts are not appreci-
ated and their work interfered
with. Sc, from now on, let
everybody interested in the well
fare of the school give their
hearty cooperation and support
t both teachers and trustees.
Then Lancaster may we'll boast
of having one of the best schools
in the State.

HAD A
 NARROW ESCAPE

Stopping to pick up pike-pole which lay in his boat alongside of a magazine shotgun, Charles Willmar, of Dawson, had q narrow escape from death Tuesday evening last when the gun exploded within distance of five feet from where he stood, the body of the charge passing between his legs, and about ? No. shot lodging on the under side of his left knee. Had his partner, Lee Hagen, been in his accus- toned place at the bow os the boat he would have been instantly killed.
 The accident occurred about 20 miles this side of Dikeman at o'clock in the afternoon. Willmar had sighted a duck on log few moments before, but be- fore he got the shell into the barrel the duck flew away Instead of put ting the shell in the magazine as was his wont, he left it as it was and laid the gun down near the polo where it was disturbed by the movement of the pole. Willmar's back was turned at the time of the explosion. Hagen at the time was on the bank where they had just landed to make camp.
 Following the accident, Willmar sui fered intense pain. The mon were up against it for transportation, as one man could not force the boat up stream

KEYSTONE DRILL
 FOR OTTER GREEK

An object lesson ill transporta- ton has just been afforded Iditarod City in the departure of the big Keystone drill of Willow Point for Flat creek.
 This heavy piece oi machinery is destined for the Marietta associa. ton oil Flat, where Manley & Price are doing extensive prospect ing and development work in an- ticipation of the installation of a large scrapiug outfit this fall.
 It started Wednesday by scow to Otter City and from thence will be taken by scow to Flat by way of Otter creek. When the big gravel punch is installed the Marietta w;!, soon take on the appearance of the time-honored but now extinct Peek-a-Boo shirt waist.

alone, and the wounded man was com pelled to lay on sandbar for 20 hours waiting for boat, while his partner dressed the wound as best he could and fought off mosquitos.
 They were picked up by Myers launch arriving here Thursday at o'clock pm, whereupon Willmar was taken to 8 lodging house and placed under the care of Dr. B. F. Brooks.
 According to the statement of Dr. Brooks, Willmar's injury will not prove serious, since the action of the shot was retarded by passing through two thicknesses of heavy canvass and through his clothing preventing the shot entering deep enough to in- jurc the knee joint.
 Willmar came all the way from Daw- son in polling boat, Hagen joining him at kaltag. The former has mined in Dawson in the early days, and is wellknown in the upper country.
