Sam Jones says it takes an

their lives.

We notice that certain Judge
gives the opinion that the tele'
phone is proving to be q factor
in the incrd BED cost Of J wing
and the, evident tendency to-
ward immortality in the people.
He says that young people will
say first over the telephone words
that they would be ashamed to
syeak face to face, and thereby
"break the ice" Of modest re.
serve. He also says that the
average family contracts loose
habits Of buying by the conven-
fence Of the telephone as q
means Of ordering what they
want or think they want. There
is something in the opinion.

VALUE or HUMAN LIFE.

Hon Mendel l.. Smith, speaker of
of house Of representatives., candi-
date for governor of South Carolina,
i'm one of his eloquent and forceful
addresses. before the Lodge of Elks
in Charleston Sunday, made an
earnest appeal that the fraternal or
ders i'm the state lend themselves to
the moulding of sounder public
opinion especially in the matter of
preserving human life. We have
been urging the matter upon the at
tention of our people through these
columns from time to time and we
are glad that Speaker Smith is lend
ing his influence to awaken our peO-
pie othe frightful conditions that
prevail. No greater evil exists in the
state than the thirst for human blood.
Human life is about the cheapest
thing in the state as Mr.. Smith we'll
knows, being one of the foremost
criminal lawyers in the common
wealth. We quote in part from the
speech:
Another condition is the wanton
and reckless disregard for the value
and sancity of human life. Let fra
ternalism be a force to quiet mems
fretted nerves, to teach men that it
is something to take a human life,
no matter how justifable the stress
OF the moment may make it seem;
that it is just as honorable-nay
more so, to forgive as to take re-
venge; that it is just as brave to ex-
tend the open hand of peace and
reconciliation as 1t is to thrust the
dagger launch the blow, or pull the
trigger Human life is sacred from
the cradle to the grave and only the
great God who gave it has the right
to take it away"

THANKS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We should indeed appear migrate
full should we fail to express our
thanks to the several correspon-
dents who have recently con-
tributed to The News. The
new correspondents, as well as
those of longer experience, are
helping us give our readers much
news which would otherwise not be
gathered. We appreciate the service
these friends of ours are doing us,
assuring them that their news letters
are always welcome. If any of our
subscribers see that their neighbor-
hoods are not being heard from reg
ularly, we hope they will secure for
us regular correspondents. We
want The News to be a representative
newspaper, in which is chronicled
every happening in the county. Your
particular section is as good as any
other and can be made better by a
little boosting on your part. Send in
a letter soon, telling what your
neighbors are doing that is worth
while, and others will Immediately
begin to take notice of your progress.
We want the people to feel that this
paper belongs tothem, whether they
live in the town of Lancaster or in
county.

The Yorkville Enquirer, after
quoting our recent reference to
Solicitor j. K. Henry, adds this in
praise of the able prosecuting attor-
ney of this district: "And The News
is exactly right. OF course, we
would not say that Mr.. Henry is in
fallible; but there Is no question of
his integrity or ability, and with him
as the prosecutor, the people Of the
state may depend upon it that this
case will be prosecuted. Whatever
the outcome, we predict that there
will be no just ground for blame on
the solicitor. Also we will say that
Mr.. Henry will prosecute the case
strictly on its merits"
