 Business Is splendid and the outlook is very fine. The farmers have led their merchants to believe that the crops this year will be as good as last year, at least, and if that is true there need be little alarm over the harvest.
 ''To all appearances we are to have a great season. Travelling men, as rule. and the merchants with whom they come in close contact. seem to be very much pleased over the situation"

Hopes for Club

H. T.. Shropshire. Jr.. we'll known member of the local Travellers Protec- tive Association. and member of a local brokerage firm, said yesterday that he was of the opinion that the proposed trav- cling mems club would be taken up again soon and something done to establish that place of rest'' for the travelling men.
 Several months ago a movement was under way to establish club rooms down. town for the travelling men who come here every weekend, where they could fraternize and have an enjoyable time with me nengaged exclusively in their line of work. For some reason the move ment was postponed.
 There is certainly great need for a place for the travelling men and I trust 1t will bo taken up again." said Mir. Shropshire. Such place will serve to draw the travellers nearer together and will prove beneficial as well as great pleasure. The top story of some of our new skyscrapers would be just the thing, in my opinion"

The fight over the nomination for
the governorship now being numbered
among the things of the past. let us
all try to forgive and forget the hard
things spoken during the exciting
times preceding the election. We are
all citizens of the same state whose
feelings and aspirations should be for
the upbuilding of our county and
state. The demagogue and strife stir
rer of course will keep on putting out
poison and seek to keep up bad feeling
between those who should be friends
and allies, but pay no attention to
him. We all know his purpose; so give
no heed to him, he will soon tire Of
hearing himself talk.-Lancaster News.
1t gives us pleasure to subscribe to
the foregoing unreservedly. We tried
to keep in mind all during the cam
paign that the contest was one between
white South Carolinians, and we sought
to avoid unnecessarily harsh express
sions Of whatever nature. There was
said about us some things that nettled
us somewhat for the time being; but
we felt that we could pass them un-
noticed for the reason that we knew
them to be untrue. We can and do
forgive, and so far as any future desire
to get even is concerned, we have for
gotten. South Carolina is all right,
and South Cardinals government is
all right. This is certainly true if there
is only a general acceptance in abso-
Lutte good faith of the excellent advice
that is being offered by the Lancaster
News.
