WOULD NOT SAVE HIS HEROINE

he would restore her to health.

When in England Governor Foss of
Massachusetts had luncheon with a
widely known Englishman, noted for
boasting of his ancestry. Taking a

said

When Lancaster citizen comes to

his sincerity. The statements of people
residing in far away places do not com

started to replace them. Are
our people lacking in aesthetic
taste? Do they fail to appreciate
the beauty and the comfort of
shade and the value of trees to
man and beast? We think rath-
er that their failure to plant
more trees has resulted from
carelessness than from willful
neglect. Let's correct this lack
of thought and go to work for
more shade trees for Lancaster.
Remember that we ourselves
may live to enjoy some of the
pleasures and blessings resultant
from our labors, but however
this may be, we owe it to future
generations to do our duty in this
matter. Let's get busy now and
the next Arbor Day let's have
another celebration that will do
us credit.

Attorney General Lyon.

The defeat of Attorney General
Lyon, mainly by an element to
whom he was "a thorn in the
flesh, is to be greatly regretted.
Fraser Lyon will go down in the
history of the State as one of the
most painstaking, conscientious
and efficient men who has ever
served the State. But he was a
marked man by that numerous
class of South Cardinals citizen
ship known as the laWless ele-
ment and those in sympathy
with them. Of course there was
a large element Of good law
abiding citizens who voted
against him, simply because he
was against Blease and his poll
cies. The office with it's mere
pittance of a salary, in itself, had
no attraction for Mr.. Lyon-fr from
a monetary standpoint, he is bet
ter off without it, but South
Carolina is the loser by his de-
feat. But these things have
happened before. Hampton, But
Ter, Wallace, Hudson and others,
too numerous to mention, went
down because they would not
recognize a political boss. But
Mr.. Lyon will carry with him to
private life the satisfaction of
duty we'll performed and the
gratitude of thousands of South
CaroIinians who recognize his
worth.

money out of which tremendous

money out of which tremendous
attorneys fees were secured,
the political history of the state
during the past four years would
have been very different from
what it has been."' The En-
quirer should remember that
Mr.. Lyon convicted John Black
at Chester and Black would have
worn stripes if the friend of The
Enquirer, Gov. Blease, had not
pardoned him. The Enquirer
should remember that a we'll
known dispensary CRATER from
Charleston plead guilty in the
Richland court and paid a fine of
$4,000. If the Yorkville En-
quirer had opposed Gov. Blease
for reelection as Mr.. Lyon did,
it would not have lost the good
opinion of many good people in
Yory County and elsewhere in
the State.

Wade Hampton.

All South Carolinians love and
reverence the memory of South
Cardinals Grand Old Man. F"
There is not one of us whose
pulse does not quicken at the
mention of his name, whose
heart is not warned at the
thought of his noble service to
his much loved state. If South
Carolina meant so much to him,
what does his noble example
mean to us who love his memory?
A splendid tribute, embodying
most truly the feeling we all
have for this peerless leader was
written recently by Mr.. William
Banks, editor of the Anderson
Mail. After sketching his his
tory and achievements with
glowing pen, Mr.. Banks thus
concludes the editorial entitled
Wade Hampton Rides:
And Hampton rides today.
His glorious figure is perpetuated
in bronze upon the grounds of the
Capitol of the State which he 80
much helped TO save. And his
spirit rides on, his great, noble
spirit, of honor and candor, of
business and fairness, and South
Carolina will ever follow in the
example that he has set, of kind
ness and of forgiveness. Wade
Hampton rides today. His great
heart pulses no more, but his
great life record is an inspiration
to cheer the hearts of all South
Carolinians at the time when we
feel depressed. His stout heart
never failed.

Rock Hill VS.. York County.

There is aninteresting situation
in York county at present. The
last Legislature passed an act
submitting it to the qualified vo-
ters of the county to vote ON a
proposition Of a $4,000 bond
issue for the erection of new
court house, not at Rock Hill, but
at YorkvilIe, the county seat.
Some of the Rock Hillians are
almost up in arms against the
proposition, notably, Mr.. John G.
Anderson of Rock Hill Buggy
Co" and Rock Hill Cotton plan"
faim. Mr.. Anderson suggests
that the Yorkville folks go
down into their pant" "and build
the court house saying that if
the court house is put at Rock
Hill he will give $4,000 and the
balence will be made up by other
Rock Hillians. Mr.. John R.
Hart, of Yorkville shows that
Mr.. Anderson need not fret so
much, because the increase of
his taxes, if the bond issue car
ries, will be less than one dollar
annually. Mr.. J. Edgar Poag,
of Rock Hill, the man who "cuts
the earth to suit your taste,
comes out strong urging the
bond issue. The Yorkville En-
quirer appears to be in a philos-
optical mood on the subject
blowing neither hot nor cold
possibly on account of not know
ing how His EXcellency, Gov.
Cole l.. Blease stands on the sub
ject. Subject to criticism for
"butting in, we say vote the
bonds. Something like a quar-
ter of century ago we remem-
ber hearing one of Rock Hills
noted orators speak all the way
from Charleston to Lancaster on
board the train his subject
being York has the court house
Jail and poor house but Rock
Hill has everything else in York
county" He handled the sub
ject we'll no body venturing a
reply to him. Now we think it
nothing but fair that the ancient
court house at Yorkville should
be replaced by a new one
which proposition we appeal to
Rock Hills orator of twenty five
years ago who is still living,
believing that he will gladly as
sent.
Indeed we think that there
should have been sufficient
bond issue for the erection of
another jail and poor house,
which by this time must also in
a state of dilapidatiOn.

Style in Letter Writing

Not all great men of letters have taken pains to express themselves with grace or clarity in their private correspondence. Thackeray's novels are models of good English, but his genial letters to rela- tives which appeared in print few years ago contained many slipshod sentences.
 Marion Crawford once told me that he paid no attention to style in writing pri- vate letters; that many of his dashed-off notes would look sorry enough in print, and yet every page in Crawfords books is marked by elegance and finish. As a. rule, however, the private letters of fam ous persons of literary experience, such as Walter Scott. Lytton Bulwer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Washington Irving, w. F. Gladstone, Charles Stewart Parnell, John Ruskin, George Eliot. Tennyson. John Henry Newman and the Marquis of Sails bury written to relatives or friends expressed themselves with the same skill that they would employ in writing books. One of our best contemporary writers is Col. George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly and the North American Review
 In one of his letters to Woodrow Will son he begins by saying Thanks sin cerely for your most handsome letter. A friend of mine who has excellent taste

The City Beautiful

Birmingham's streets are wide and well graded. The engineering scheme of the city is admirable. Some of the avenues i'll residence sections downtown are lined with trees, and along the sidewalks spaces between the curbing and the pave ment are intended to be used as grass pIats. In a few blocks sward may be seen. It is kept in good condition dur ing the, spring, summer and fall; but in most of the blocks no effort is made to keep these spaces green. One trouble is that pedestrians are so inconsiderate as to walk on the grass, or the spaces where grass should be, and thus render it inn possible for the original plan to be made effective.
 Fifth avenue is one of the most beau tiful thoroughfares that have seen any where. It is we'll planted with shade trees from the Terminal station to Six teenth street, or further. It is well paved too, and in the springtime when the fol- iage is out this avenue presents an um- brageous scene that suggests eharmingly s'rus in urbe"-country in city. But it would be al lthe more beautiful if grass were seen under the trees. A few years ago Mayor Ward started city beautiful movement that did wonders for the ap- pearance of Birmingham. It would be well for the city commissioners to try something of the sort this year. And now, a few weeks before spring, would be a good time to begin.
