ALWAYS ANOTHER SIDE.
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

forms his conclnsions entirely from
Ms own observations ant' reflections
hough many sincerely believe that
they do.
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

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.
We. to, would like a aweli ear, and
i private yacht at the seashore, and

There's another thing we'd like to
