Tn the formation of our views on la'ional stat? ntul municipal affairs nany of us are unconsciously led nto the error of believing that there s but one side to the question beore us?our side. We might cite a few instances. V.'e favor a certain man for presi lent i 11 'he forthcoming national elec ion. To our mind ho is the only nan posse -sinp the necessary qualinations for tliis exaulted position. U1 others are mediocre and not worth onsideration. And yet as a matter >f fact there is not a man in the raee or the presidency today but what ias his pood and valuable qualities s well a- his weak ones, for the trains of 'his nation are not centered ti a; y one man. We have our peronal choice and we sincerely he leve that the man of our choice is he hest qttod for the oTi?-e. but we hotild readily concede to our neigh or itis inalienable ripht to differ from s in this belief. We may favor a certain system in mnieipal povernment and our neighor may entertain views radically di erpent from our own. Rut this does ot necessarily imply that we are ex ctlv ripht in our conception and that ur neighbor is entirely wronp. for ur neighbor, though differing from s in our views, yet posseses intellience and is quite capable of apply:ig it in relation to any subject beare the people. In fact, there are two sides to evry question. The preponderance of rgument may be in favor of one side, et the advocates of the other side but peak in the light of their training nd of their sincere conception of rliat is for the public weal. They are honest in their convicons, as we are honest in ours, and risdom bespeaks the utmost tolernce on the part of all factions and copies for those who oppose them t their policies and beliefs. Tt is by the careful exercise of this isdoni that a nation becomes great nd strong and dominating in the orhl of affairs, while to pursue a ?verso policy is to invite bickering, tasperation and ultimate disintogra on. In our conduct of affairs lot us think 5 we choose, hut bow cheerfully to le will of the majority and work in lrniony for the common good of all ie people. IS YOUR MIND YOUR OWN? We often hear people make the reark. "I have a mind of my own." Literally speaking, yes. But othertse. NO! We can demonstrate the truth of e latter statement by referring to >ur own actions, by the actions of >ur friends, and neighbors, by the tions of the public in general. No man has a mind wholly and ab-; lutely his own in the generally acpted sense of the word. No man 4 id Monday ?xt Week [?e skirting, colors 1 rose, and white itcriul for skirts. falUV vus just receiv- 1 A , Special priced AIM/ ??????? . lie.

One simple illustration is sufficient to prove the correetnes: of our CUIllUlM ioil. Au\ Nameless is one of our citizens who "has a miml of his own." lie walks along our streets day by day. Glaring defects in our municipal system stare him in the face. He sees them not?or seeing them, fails to heed them. His mind is not concerned. Another citizen comes along, points j them out, starts an agitation that .trows, and Mr. Nameless immediately comes to life and joins the throng! with lusty shouts for improvement?! AKTKH the other foilow has done the | work. If Mr. Nameless really "had a mind of his own" the agitation would have i no effect whatever upon that mind. Hut he hasn't. llis mind is just like the minds of all of tlte rest ofi us -just like the mind of every human being;?it ran be influenced and swayed by other minds, just as readily as the work of his mind ran influence the minds of other people. The articles we read, the words we hear, our conversations of every day life all have a direct and a power-' ful influence over our own minds, often diverting our convictions and ideas into wholly different channels J from those formerly used. A mind that is worth having is J | always susceptible to change, to con | viction, to revision superinduced by j I the wisdom emanating from other ! minds. A mind that is wholly its own is ' no mind at all. HIGH PRICES AND LOST PENNIES In these days of high prices and expensive living it behooves us to; guard the pennies with a far seeing i eye. i i Had pennies sometimes return, but good ones seldom do. It therefore becomes our duty, when we part with a good penny, to secure the greatest possible returns i for if. Lost pennies soon mount in- < to dollars, and the vanishing dollar ] blaze? the way to poverty anil event- I ual nowhere. i You can save pennies and retain t the dollars if you will read carefully i each week the advertisements in this i paper. They will tell you at which ? stores you can get the best bargains, j where quality is the best and price is | at the minimum, where your true in- t terests lie whhen you go out to spend tlte monov that comes to von front hours of heavy and unceasing toil. 1 f None of us may hope to save all t that we earn, for we must live, and i if. takes money these days to even l exist. j ( We must spend a good portion of j our earnings, often all of them and \ the judgment and rare we use in that r expenditure will determine in a con- 1 siderable measure the enjoyment and , i pleasures of life. i If we buy at haphazzard we too fre- t quently pay dearly for our Indlffer-! t ence and lack of economical foresight,] whereas 1f we are prudent and assimilate the knowledge that is laid f before us we at least have the satis- J t faction of knowing that we have done < the best that we ronld do under ex- t istiti" circumstances. '( Again we suggest, and emphasize, j that the wise and prudent course to j pursue is to read carefully each week i the advert isomer t s in this paper, i Head tiieni all. every one of them, for 1 hi little p!ac? big bargains are often found. Ilitth prices are here, and we as a community can not prevent what a whole nation must endure, llu? we can. and should nn-vent the unneces-; sary less of p< n s through commercial indifference and neglect. This i> not a day of philanthropy and men ha Is ar?- not :id\ ertisinir lor the sake of handing their money over to the publisher. They are doing it because they have the goods and make the prices to hack up their ad-, vertisements, and it is to the. ftnan-1 rial interest of the consumer to dissect every advertisement and take adI vantage of every opportunity thus ! afforded. The expense of reading an ad is . nothing but a little time when not I otherwise engaged. The savings may run into dollars. AS THE EDITOR SEES IT. We couldn't undertake to chronicle all of the things in this world that we j would like to have or see. but there are a few which we might mention as | being pertinent and to the point? whatever the point may be. We would like, for Instance, to see a i little more life and hustle and bustle in this town. We would like to see 1 more farmers' teams hitched around town, and we'd like to see more of the farmers and their wives and sons and (laughters and hired men mingling ; with our townspeople and getting better acquaints and on more intimate and friendly terms. This Is a big world, but our community 1s only a dot on the surface, and because we arc only a dot we ought to know each i other better and stick to each other j more than we do. A single twig can be broken by any child, but a young sapling is a mighty hard thing even to bend. We don't want to remain a twig I or a sapling, but we do want to be a ; full grown tree, and that we will never ' be as long as we are only a collection UK LAN^ASTKK NEWS VAN WYCK, S. C. A COMMUNITY BRIMMING WITH , POSSIBILITIES TO HOLD COMMUNITY FAIR THIvS F ALI <? ALL PULLING TOGETHER FOR GENERAL GOOD OF TOWN AND COMMN1TY o One among the most Drouresslve and wiae-a-wake sections to be found in Lancaster county, or this section of the State for that matter, is Van Wyck. Situated just south of what is known as the "pan handle" or indian lands, on the main line of the S. A. L. Railway, adjoined on the south-east and north by the beautiful sun-kissed, vine-clad r ills of that delightful section, and on the -.vest by the mighty waters of the historic Catawba, the little town nestles in a rarden spot of climatic perfection, the pride and admiration of the entire citizenship as well as the many visitors who frr_ fluently pass that way. The little town has three up-todate stores; post office; depot; express office; telephone exchange; two churches, Presbyterian and Methodist; one large saw mill owned by Mr. J. A. Hyatt; one modern ginning plant and one of the largest and best brick manufacturing plants, owned by W. N. Ashe, to be found in this portion of the country The capacity of the plant Is 60,000 daily and cannot begin to supply the demand. The town Is located In the heart of a rich, fertile agricultural section, the river bottom lands being noted for Its great fertility. The of human twigs. Le'ts get together and stick together and grow with the world. We know of a little child in this town who exhibits every symptom of an intense longing for a friendly word when you meet" him in the street. We liave met him?we have seen we Know. trive it to him. But in order hat you may not overlook this parictilar child w? have in iuin?}, and for heir own sakes as well, we would like to see you give a friendly word and a heerful pat to every one you meet, instead of allowing them to sidle by you ike a dog that fears a kick. Even the egard of a child has its value.
