Wilson Delivers Happy
Speech After Signing.

WASHINGTON, oct. 4-The Tn
derwood tariff bill is now the law Of
the land.
Il was approved at o'clock last
night by President Wilson.
A group of legislators, members Of
the Cabinet and friends surrounded
the President as he smilingly sat
down slowly and affixed his signature
with two gold pens.
He presented TO Representative I'm
oerwood the pen that had written the
word Woodrow" and the one which
had completed his name to Senator
Simmons. both of whom bowed their
appreciation.
In impressive silence the President
rose and delivered an eNtemporaneous
speech. The President declared that
the journey of legislative accomplish
ment had only been partly completed:
that a great service had been done Cor
the rank and file OF the country, but
that the second step in the enamel
patton OF business was currency re-
form. He earnestly called upon his
colleagues 10 go the rest Of the jour
ney' with fresh impulse,

The President said:
Gentlemen, / feel a very peculiar
pleasure in what ! have just done
by way of taking part in the com
pletion Of a great piece Of bust
ness. II is a pleasure which is
very hard to express in words
which are adequate TO express the

rank and file Of the people Of this
country a great service 1t is hard
to speak of these things without

feeling Of profound gratitude, that

The city charter discussion in

show beyond question that the
Legislature isn't dealing fairly
with the people of the cities in
not adopting a general commits

ton of such a law doesn't mean
that the cities shall have commits

giving each city fair chance
to get a government of that kind
There is no doubt that a sentiment

BY JAMES 3. NEVIN.

Although some fifteen or twenty
names have been mentioned" as
prospective candidates for Congress
in the Second district, now that Con-
gresham Roddenbery's death has
created a vacancy there, it is not
likely when the matter gets right
down to brass tacks," that there will
be more than three or four candi-
dates in the race.
1t seems reasonably sure that Ros-
coe Luke, of Townsville; w. a. Gov
ingtOn, of Moultrie, and Judge Park,
of Sylvester. will be in the race to
the finish, but beyond that nothing
definite may be stated now.
Judge Hopkins, of Townsville, a
member of the present Legislature,
has been suggested a a fit and prop
er man for the position of Represen-
tative from the Second district in
the National Congress, and undoubt-
eddy he would make a most fOrmid-
able candidate should he run. How
ever. he has not indicated what he
viii do. Mayor Banks, of Triton. was
looked upon originally as a sure en-
try, but for some reason he withdrew
and decided not to try for the honor
now. COlOnel Jesse u. Perry, the
Governors private secretary, is Sc
riously considering making the race,
but has not yet made UP his mind
definitely.
In any event. it looks as if the
race will be confined to not more
than four candidates. and possibly
three or even two.
II is not thought possible, of course,
that some pa riotiC and liberty loving
citizen of the Second might have
the IonuS conferred upon him with
out protest!
Governor Slaton has communicated
with Henry Mcintosh, of Albany,
chairman of the Democratic EXecu-
tive Committee of the Second dis
trist, as 10 what time would be most
acceptable to the voters of the dis
trist for an election to be called.
When the Governor hears from this
communication, he will issue his
proclamation calling the election. Il
likely will be called about November
10, as the Governor wishes tC give
the prospective entries as mucn time
as possible, so Dng as IL does not
delay filing the vacancy too long.
Mayor Roscoe Luke was very close
to Congressman Roddenbery, whose
place is to be filed. and likely will
fall heir to much of the Roddenbery
strength therefore.

CLEAN UP THE TOWN.

Whatever else we may have
to boast about in Lancaster,
we can't boast about the clean
liness of the town, so it has
come into our mind to suggest
to the town council to commence
an agitation that will set our
people to thinking. And the
thought occurred to us by see
ing in the Rock Hill papers
where the civic committee of
the chamber of commerce is
petitioning the city council to
begin enforcing the health or
dinances. But having no cham
Der Of commerce to act with the
city council, we are willing and
ready to cooperate with the
council in putting the town in
good sanitary condition. If
they will do the work, we will do
the eXhorting. Now we suggest
that the public drains and
bitches be cleaned out and that
the ordinances against pedes-
trians and business houses
throwing waste paper, fruit,
peelings, etc, upon the streets
and back lots be enforced. We
suggest alsos that the street
force be made to clean up Main
street every Saturday night in
order that the town may pre-
sent a neat and becoming ap-
pearance on the Sabbath day.
Gentlemen, the health of our
community is above dollars and
cents and even if there is no
money in the treasury to spare
for other work. we can certain
ly use what little it will take
to put the town in such a con-
dition that disease and possibly
death may not overtake us.

Il, SAID THE FLY"

This despicable little animal
or fowl, or whatever you may
callhim, he, she or it, has already
begun to put in an appearance,
despite the fact that the cold
weather is not over. When
warm weather sets in their
name will be legion no matter
what is done. Realizing that
they are the main cause of
much of the sickness and death
that men fall heir to, would it
not be the part of wisdom to
use any and all measures to
cOunteract their work? This
can be done and the first thing
in order is for each citizen to
begin now to put his premises
in good, healthy, sanitary con-
dition. All low places where
water may accumulate should
be levelled. Rubbish and filth Of
all kinds should be burnt or
carried away. And after this
is done a systematic warfare
should be made to eNterminate
every single fly that visits
the premises. And the time to
begin is right now and upon
your own premises.

EASTER.

The present week is what is
known as Holy Week" because
it commentaries certain events
connected with the last few
days of the life of the Savior
of Mankind. 1t began last Sun
day, known as Palm Sunday,
because it was then that He
made the triumphal entry in
to Jerusalem amid the plaud-
its of the populace and the way
ing of the palm branches. 1t
was on Friday of the week that
He yielded up His life "a ran
som for many"
Sunday next will be Easter
Sunday, because on that day
Christ arose from the grave
triumphant over death"
1t is not inappropriate there
fore that all Christian people
regardless of denominational
lines, should, at this season,
these sacred
events; a season when the dead
winter is giving place to the
newborn spring; when the
trees, the grass and the flowers
are putting on new life, typical
of the resurrection morn when
the dead shall be raised to life
again and when those whose
lives are hid with Christ in
God shall enter upon larger
and better life.

DEATH OF KING GEORGE

King George of Greece, who
had been reigning monarch of
that country for nearly SO
years, was done to death a few
days since by degenerate ma
tive of the country. The King
was born in Denmark and al
though not a Greek, made that
country an admirable ruler. 1t
is fortunate that the dead King
is to be succeeded by a wise
ruler, his son, Constantine, who
is now AZ years of age and won
distinction just recently when
at the head of the Grecian army
he captured Janina from the
Turks, taking $4,000 prisoners.
He is brother-in-law to the
German Emperor, first cousin
to the King of England and the
Car of Russia and the King of
Denmark. He and his wife and
brothers are members of the
Greek orthodox church. After
succeeding to the government
of the country his first message
to the Greek army was as fol-
lows:
THE impious outrage on the
sacred person of King George
deprives us of our leader at
moment very critical for the
Hellenic nation. | am called by
Providence to succeed my never
to-be-forgotten father on the
throne over which he so long
shed luStre and honor.
81 bring this news to the
knowledge of my army, to
which | have devoted my whole
life and to which unsuccessful
and successful wars have indis
solubly bound me. | declare to
it that marching always at it's
head, | will never cease to con-
centrate my solicitude on my
land and sea forces, whose
glorious exploits have brought
renown to our fatherland."

THE EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS-.

The extra session Of Congress
called by President Wilson, it is
generally understood, will be
taken up mainly with the tariff
question. This is the greatest
question before the country to-
day and the one which vitally
affects the very being of the
Democratic party. The party
has wisely pinned its faith to
the proposition of a tariff for
revenue only, as against the op-
pOSite idea espoused by the Re-
publican party of tariff for
protection, and upon this propo-
Sition President Wilson will
stand or fall. If the Democratic
majority in Congress will stand
for the principle, and not be side
tracked by the favors which
may be thrown out to them by
the Republicans, and enact such
a tariff bill as will be recon-
to them by the Presi-
dent, they will not only give the
country great relief, but will
entrench the party in power for
many years TO come.
