\ NARROW VIEW OF THE
NATTER.

Not long since a widow lady
living in town who owns real
estate i'm a school district in
the country where an election
was about to be held to determine
whether or not a special levy should
be made for school purposes was APP
preached by a farmer who also own
ed land in the school district He
wished to know if she favored the
tax, for he was violently opposed
to the levy. Because she had no
children and lived I'm town, he sup
posed she would not favor ii and on
the principle that misery loves COM
pany. sought comfort from her. But
he reckoned without his host for she
told him that she favored the special
tax originally, but since learning of
his opposition to it, she was the more
convinced of the need Of education
i'm his section. There are some other
parts of the county where such mar
row, contracted notions prevail and
they are usually entertained by some
close-fsted old codgers who have
been for years absorbing from
the community in which they live and
giving nothing in return. They re-
mind one of the ola lady who, at a
church meeting was thanking the
Lord that although she had been a
church member for forty years it had
only cost her twenty-five cents.
"Yes," said the minister, "and may
the Lord have mercy on your poor,
stingy old soul"

THEY CAN BE HANDLED.

Judge Frank Carter of Asheville,
who has recently driven the bilnd
tigers out of that city, in an inter
view, speaks as follows on the sub
ject:
Every consideration of honor, JUS
tice and public policy demands the
enforcement of our liquor laws i'm
partially against every class OF Of
tenders, and the means provided for
their enforcement are so simple, so
efficient, so nearly self-eXecuting
that their reinforcement hence
forth must convict every responsible
public official of moral complicity In
this most demoralizing Sorm of law
lessness."

Gar of a Different Type.

Former Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
takes the floor to say: "They said l
was Car when was i'm the speakers S
chair at Washington, but Woodrow
Wilson can give me cards and spades
in that line" Mr.. Cannon is right.
AS a Car he was small potatoes and
few i'm a hill. He counted quorums,
legislated and killed legislation at
the behest of a small clique of selfish
interests. Mr.. Wilson is the Car of
ninety-odd millions of people and has
their warrant and mandate for carry
ing out the popular will and compell-
ing needed observation-disclosures

LESSON FROM GAILLIARD'S
CAREER.

In the death of Lieut.. Col. David
DuBose Gailliard of the United
States army. South Carolina is called
upon to mourn the death of one of
her most distinguished sons. Colonel
Gailliard was a self-made man in the
sense of having shaped his own
career. In the early eighties he was
a lad attending the famous Mount
Zion Academy at Winnsboro, then
taught by that distinguished scholar
and noble-hearted gentleman, the
late Prof. II. Means Davis. 1t so hap
pened that he could not continue at
school, owing to Strengthened cir
cumstances, so he accepted clerk
ship in a store at Winnsboro. But
the ambitious boy was not contented
to remain behind the counter.
About this time there was va
cancy at the United States Military
Academy at West Point and, though
poorly prepared to stand competi-
tive examination for the cadetship,
he determined to make an effort to
win it. So with Prof. Davis to coach
him he went earnestly to work to
prepare himself as best he could for
the examination. He won the prize
in the competitive examination and
in due time was graduated from West
Point high enough in his class to be
assigned after graduation to the en-
gineering corps, the Vselection being
made from the five ranking highest
in the class.
From that time on his promotion
was rapid. considering how slow
process it is to be advanced in the
United States army. His signal
achievement was at Panama, where
he worked for years, finally over
coming almost superhuman Difficult
ties in the Culebra cut, caused by
the treacheous slides with which
he had to contend from the be-
ginning of the job until it's COM
pletion. He lived until his work was
almost done and just at the time
when he was about to be rewarded
with the stars of brigadier general,
he had to answer to the last roll
call
The career of Colonel Gailliard
should fire the ambition Of many
boy better favored by circumstances
than he Every year there are
one or more vacancies at West
Point or the Naval Academy
and comparatively few young men
appear for the examinations. We are
proud of John Hilliard, who gradual
ed from the Naval Academy a few
years ago and is making his mark in
Uncle Sans navy. And another Lad
from the fifth congressional district
is now at Annapolis winning
golden opinions from the professors.
Look out for these vacancies, boys
OF Lancaster, and do what Gailliard
and Hnliard have done and what
shannon Heath expects to do. 1t is
in you. Let it come out.

Proper Conception of Vice.

Vice must be looked at in its prop
er light, and not as a pastime which
may be INDUCED in if man is slick
enough to get off with his villainy
without being caught. The vice is
there. as a source of social corruption
and it must be stopped and the can
cerous, besmirtched villain must be
