apart as a day of thanksgiving by
the President of the United States
and the Governor of this Common
wealth. It should be observed in
a proper and becoming mannler.
The custom was first inaugnrated
by the Pilgrim tathers of New
England and only become a nation
al day when President Lincoln is
sued his first thanksgiving procla
mation. It is a day now observed
by all the tates, and is a legal
holiday.
We have imch tor which to re
turn thanks. Tre there are
troubles and sorrows which of ne
cessity come into every life but it
is throigh suffering we are to re
ceive the blessing. On oce'asions
of tlhis kind we cannot better show
our appreciation of the ble-sings we
enj"y than by helping the orphanls
and the poor.
In the death of Mr. Iouis Kohn,
which occurred at the i-e of his
brother, Mr. August Kohn, in Col
umbia on Sunday, the younger gen
eration of newspaper men of South
Carolinialloses one of its number who
gave bright promise of a brilliant
career and who would have adorned
the profession. Mr. Kohn gradu
ated at the South Carolina college
last summer and since that time had
been associated with his brother in
the News and Courier's Columbia
bureau. le was devoted to his
work and it was of a high order of
excellence. The writer was thrown
much with Mr. Kohn and had learn
ed to esteem and respect him for his
sterling qualities Of character and
to love him for his genial nature and
bright and sunny disposition. He
will he sadly missed from among
the nber of Columbia's newspap

* Mayor Sullivan and the police
of Anderson are setting anl example
to the reit ot the State and show
ing that we do not need the Calvin
law\ of Georgia so badly as we need
men who will enforce laws that we
now have. A white man who has
a family to supl)ort there,jvas ar
rested as a loafer and loiterer oil
the streets and sentenced to the
clinim gang. but ,enteiice was st
pendhed in case the man we
work, lie did it. \\ ith ofhic.
like this we need 1no new laws onl
our books and( thle pheeC w\ou1ld
soon have a chanice to rest easy."'

Thec same state of affairs exists
in Newherry. With Mlagistrate
Chiappell and the Mayor after the
vagrants there are very few. idlers'
in Newhe'rry. Inl fact we hiave
heard someW of our citizens comiplain
that they hiad cleared them so tin i
that y oul coulfd not p)ick up) a boy
to go onl errandls or a man to (10 0(1(
job)s of work. Our vagrant laws
are sulflcient if they were just eni
forced. Thle tact is that is thc.
great trouble. It is not more law
that we need but better enforce
ment of thle laws nlow on the
statute books.
