If Governor Ansel could have
found anywhere in South Caro-

Importance of School Discipline.


At q 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
haye 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 te4chers will
come to naught. 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
sxsnSs hRmanity-~but as a rule no
more earnest and conscientious
class of people live. Their lot is
not often happy one, especially
if thoir efforts are not appreci-
ated and their work interfered
with. So. from now on, let
everybody interested in the well,
fare of the school give their,
hearty cooperation and support
to both teachers and trustees.
Then Lancaster may we'll boast
of having one of the best schools
in the State.

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,
a copy of which is owned by
Mr.. Geo. H. O'Leary of this
town, l find q most excellent
map of Lancaster County, sur
veyed aud made by =. Boykin
for Mills Atlas in 1920. On the
map is marked, Birth Place of
Gen. A. Jackson" which is q
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 this map was made, and
yet a 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 inaugurated 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.

The militant missionary charac-

but in countries far removed from

influence and benefits Of missions In
way that perhaps twenty OF thirty
years ago did not seem possible.

MASSIVE GATES TO PROTECT
CANAL

Pittsburg, Oct. 3O.-The largest
gates in the world are bling made al
Pittsburg for the Panama canal.
Anyone of the 81 Of them. for there
are to be 46 pairs in all, will stand
about as high as a six-story build
ing 65 feet wide and seven feet thick
The structural steel that will 20 to
make them will weigh $4,000 tons,
or more than eight times as much az
was used to build the Ehel tower.
The mighty portals. designed to
admit a worlds commerce from one
ocean to another. must withstand q
tide of criticism as we'll as tremen-
dous pressure of water and possible
commissions OF earth. For years the
controversy over the gates or no
gates, locks or sea level, has been the
dividing issue of the canal problem.
In the face of fear in some quarters
that the foundations on the isthmus
are not sure enough for locks. that
earthquakes or water pressure would
dislodge them. and that an enemys
mines or accidental explosions, might
easily destroy, the government has
begun to build the gates.
The cost will be 100000. The
builders are the McClintic-M Marshal
Steel Construction company, half Of
whose independent plant here has
been given over entirely to. the gate
contract. OF the 10000 tons of steel
required, the heaviest single pieces
will weigh about IS tons. These will
be the base Orders. which are seven
feet wide. and which will be placed
much like the first floor Orders of a
skyscraper. The series of Orders
above them will range from 3.s feet
apart near the bottom to Ave feet
apart at the top. and over the skele-
ton structure thus formed a sheath
ing of watertight armor plate will be
bolted much after the fashion of calp-
boards on house.

Discussing the relation between

said
How has the duty OF the public

does the public owe any duties to the

TWO NOTEWORTHY POLITICAL
SPEECHEH

Two speeches that were delivered
Friday night are worthy OF particular
consideration at the present time.
One of these was made by Secretary
Nagel at Detroit, and It's most i'm
portant point was Characterization
of President Taft as the constructive
genius of the preceding administra-
ton, who was deliberately chosen by
the Republican party to carry for
ward the policies he had SO largely
aided in framing, and who has ac-
complished the purpose for which he
was selected by the party and by the
people.
In the other speech, Senator Root
of New York declared that If Presi-
dent Taft continues the good record
that he has made in his administra-
ton thus far, he will be the newt
able candidate of the party for re-
election in 1912. And he went on
TO sa that the defeat of the Reubli-
can elections, would be the only pos
sible way to discrediting the presi-
dent and turning the party to some
other candidate in 1912.
1t is only In the Democratic news

between the actual occupant of the
presidency and his predecessor in of,
