The newest white gowns seem. in
some miraculous way, to have es-
capped the freakishness which made
many Of the earlier gowns more gro

A charming white costume can be
ratine, which shows both an uneven
check and a dot. The skirt follows
the close lines Of the season, and Is
slightly draped at the side. The
.tunic, shorter than many OF its kind,
has the short front line sloping

the little coatee, which Is loose and
short, reaching only just to the hips.
1t also shows the upward front slope,

The sleeves are three-quarter
length and finished with cuffs Of the
lace, underneath which the long
sleeves Of the lingerie blouse are per-

Forcados: Mail steamers ply regularly

Up-country traveller, when he arrives
at Forcados. has only made about

For the first hundred miles up the
Niger the river banks are thickly popu-
lated with oil traders, but above, the
dense jungle creeps down. The land Is
low lying. and the tropical foliage grows
SO dense that it is impossible to land
except where trading stations exist. or
where clearings have been made by the
natives. For days the steamer that
carried our little party slowly steamed
through the narrow. tortuous channel
in constant danger from snagS, sub
merged trees and other distractions.
1t was upon the fourth day that We
tied up at nightfall close to tiny COL
lection of native huts, and l saw. for
the first time, the strange sight Of
natives fishing. There was one cir
cular net OF enormous size. tied by ropes
TO a pole that extended back over the
limb of tree, and around this pole
squatted half a dozen natives eagerly
scanning the water above the net. High
above them. in the tree top, perched
another man, who could look down into
the swirling stream.
He watched the water with tense
eyes. and the net laid only 2 few inches
below the surface. Suddenly. as hsh

OUR AIM.

In this the beginning of the New
to all the people of Lancaster county.
We want everybody to feel that this
is their paper and as we go forward
to work for the advancement of both
town and county, we call upon you
to give us your cooperation and sup
port. We have one of the best coun-
ties in the state. Our people are as
intelligent and patriotic as any and
it is our purpose to 40 all we can to
keep her in the forefront with the
most enlightened and progressive of
the counties. We have endeavored
in the past, as we expect to do in the
future, to hold up high ideals and to
be among the leaders in the public
| thought of the county and state.
Some of our utterances upon public
matters at times may not accord with
the views of some of our readers. If
1T were possible we would like to
please everybody, but our chief aim
will not be to please, but to speak
the truth. We will repeat, what we
have said on more than one occasion,
that in our opinion a newspaper
should strive to mould public opin-
ion. Hence it must inform itself up
on all questions affecting the people,
and then tell them the truth about
it, Too many public Journals are
contented with things as they are
have no decided opinions on any mat
ters-simply drift along with the
general run of affairs, fearing all the
time to take any decided stand for
fear the subscription list may be
affected. While we expect the paper
to advance the interest of those who
have put. their money in the enter
prise, this will be subordinated to the
general good of the county. So long
as the present editor is at the helm,
the dollar and cents idea will not be
the first consideration, but the ad-
vancement of the interests of all of
our people along progressive lines.
To the farming Interests OF the
county, we expect to give all possible
aid and encouragement, realizing it is
to them chiefly, that all other occu-
pations are indebted.
This being our aim, we call upon
all the people of the old Red Rose
county, to unite with us in striving
to keep her so far ahead of the other
counties in the state that we can
truly say, Lancaster Leads"

Mr.. NJ. G. Billings Dead.

The older residents of the town
will learn with deep regret OF the
death OF Mr.. Moultrie Clinton
Billings, which sad event oc-
Cured in Camden. (where he
had been taken for treatment
some time ago) on the first day
of the new year. His remains were
inferred last Friday beside those OF
his wife in Camden. He was married
about six years ago to Miss Bell
Myers, who predeceased him about
two years since. The only immedi-
ate relatives surviving him is a little
daughter, Margaret. four years old.
and an only sister, Mrs. b. F. Ford
of Abbeville, Ga. Mr.. Billings was
the eldest son OF the late Capt. Ken
nedy G. Billings and his wife Kath-
Green Mayer Billings. He was about
48 years of age and was born and
reared in Lancaster. Moultrie, as he
was familiarly known to his friends,
was kind hearted ana generous to a
fault. His two younger brothers,
Robert and Gibson, predeceased him
some years ago.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

There is no material change in the
Mexican situation. The Constitution
alists or rebels seem to be having it
all their own way in the northern
part of the republic. 1t is yet un-
certain what the end will be, but it
now looks as IL President Wilson's s
prediction will come true, and that
Huerta will go to the wall. But
when this happens. it is not certain
that the successful revolutionists
can give a stable government to the
storm-tossed republic. If they can't
then it will be squarely up to the
United States, if the Monroe doctrine
is to be preserved, to intervene and
bring order out of choase. But this
will mean a long protracted and
bloody war. So President Wilson is
eminently right to make intervention
last resort.
