In the celebration of this annual festival we are following a custom established by the early settlers of our country, who, in grateful remembrance of a year of many blessings, gathered together to render thanks to the Giver of All Good Gifts for many mercies and blesisngs. It was and is yet to some extent a harvest festival, com memorating the gathering of fruits j ' Of field and garden, 'appropriately . timed to come at the end of the hardest when? "The cornstalks stand like sentinels : against the sunset gold, < As if to guard the autumn days from winter's biting cold; The pumpkins round have gone to deck some gay Thanksgiving ' board, And every growing thing has graced : the harvest of the Lord." We in America have many things to : he exceedingly thankful for in this < year of "grace. A bountiful harvest v has provided us with enough and to ' spare of the good things of the world. : Food there is in abundance and while i it may be high, opportunity for prof- i itable labor was never more abundant < than now. We ought to celebrate the i day in the full realization of its mean- i ing and purpose and with a spirit in i harmony with the idea of reverence : / ; which suggested and has perpetuated ] the celebration of the day. COME TO TIpS ROAD MEETING. If you are interested in better roads for Iiexington (County cfo not' fsbil to attend the meeting to be held at.! the court house, next Monday. Decern- ^ her This meeting has been called : by the county legislative delegation in order to ascertain the sentiment of the county generally with regard to a workable plan for improving our u roads, and it is the duty of every citizen interested in this subject to attend and give the delegation the bene- -* fit of his viewa Senator Ridgell has j' outlined what in our opinion is a capital, plan, but neither he nor the delegation is wedded to it. If somebody ( can suggest a better idea it'will be ( heartily welcomed by the members of the general assembly from Lexington ] County. Don't remain away '" hnd ' criticize, come and help plan. .^. pror-. gram that wilt- give early relief from ^ present conditions. Let the delegation and the public have the benefit ^ of your id?as. It will be an: open meeting and everybody will have an . opportunity to set forth his ideas. . 1 Let's have a rousing meeting. . , Come to the road meeting Decern- 1 ber salesday. ^ M; H 1: 11 THE LEAGUE Of NATIONS. < The failure of the senate to ratify j the peace treaty leaves the United K states, for the time being, in a posi- ( tion of "splendid isolation." It might ( better be called a position of "dan- ( gerous isolation." c s In either effort to dis- ? credit the Democratic administration j the senate majority has placed the ^ country in an unenviable position. It is not uncommon, even in Demo- ^ cratic South Carolia, to hear men say ( that they do not care a straw, for the t league of nations?that we do not 1 want any foreign entanglements which f would mean the constant policing of , 35uropo and our embroilment in fre- 1 g quent quarrels of petty European na- i j tions. It was to prevent just that;, that the league of nations was propos- r ed. "While it is not a perfect docu- !; ment, and will be perfected from time | to time, it contained the germ or es- j sence of the idea of "peace on earth, j i good will toward man," and its prac- j 3 tical working would have been to pre- j < iranf rofhpr {bail fntnrA ' t wars. | ] < The world has grown too small entirely for a nation of 'he size of Ameri- , 1 -ca to live entirely to itself. We can < no more hoDe to do so than can an i * individual at present live wholly to t , himself. Whether we realize it or, ' not we will more nearly be embroiled i t in trouble without the league of na- ; r tions than with it, because the rest of .' the world, will turn in desperation to ? the old policy of "balance- of power" I alliances, from wh;ch we will Joe jex-1! ( eluded, without friends ano oham- )2 pfons in the hour of ne^d. Unless | the league of naticr - or >on.e such I ?; ' \ i k . . i trrangement becomes effective the lext few years may see some radical ihanges in world alliances. Japan is . already reported to be'hinting at a jerman-Russo-Japanese entente, Etaly is none'too friendly to the United States, -while Mexico is an open and avowed enemy, with, whom at the present we are all but in a state of war. A combination of all these forces against us alone might prove disasterous. For the moment the Republicans have secured a victory over their enemy at the cost of sacrificing their country, but the heart of America is we helieve that should the senate when it reconvenes in December fail to ratify the treaty of peace, the? American people will settle the master in the 1920 elections. The repudiation of the league covenant will mean the return of the world to an armed camjp with the grinding race to keep pace in armaments. The men who are responsible for . perpetuating this condition will live in infamy. THE ROAD TAX It may be well: to explain why ?in cases some folks have found there taxes higher this year than last. As a matter of fact the levy is lower than the 1918 levy, hut all able-bodied males, between the ages of 21 and 55, are required by an act of the last general assembly +o pay a capitation road tax of $5, instead of $2 as formerly. In some sections of the county there has been a little complaint as to this tax, because the taxpayers saw no visible results on the reads. It is only fair, however, to say that the $5 tax being paid now is for the year 1920, not the year, now fast drawing to a close, and it is hoped that the increase wi?.l bring some appreciable relief to the greater part of the county. As a mater of fact, however, even with the increased capitation t;tx the funds derived froin; this' source will hardly be adequate to do. a great' deal. ' But the taw specifies that funds arising from this tax he credited to the township in which paid, so that some results may be seen by everybody. It can hardly do more, however, than patch up some .Of the worst,'plap^s.' Time was when labor in plenty'could be had at $1 a day for work on the roads, where today $2 and in most cas^s is the minimum jit tvhielt ahyane Can be liirbd to work. In the tight of this increase the $5 road tax Is hardly more than the old rate of $2. Other t thanv* this v. nnd in ' caisefe where special levies have been voted for schools,1 taxes, unlike, everything Jr y ; V : j' J I.i.j else, are lower this year than last. It is hardly to be doubted that. the,. Eteople as' a 'whole' v^ll1 mind the 'in-' r?rpn<jp in thp marl if tha rrrad? i " -r~~, r- T . 7 T[ / / \T ?/'I ? , w|ll.;t^correep6n?4B?l> b^n^fkfcd; j , i TROUBLE WITH MEXICO. The average man reads with some :ynicism th?t* the United ; Stags 'government has addressed. ,a >S|haf^; ;n.ot^:, to the Mexican government. The record of our sharp hates !tof Mexico in the recent past would fill quite a vol* jme. While some stress seems to be laid upon the present crisis with our . southern neighbor, the fact is that we have more than pnce since Ca$ranza became president been nearer ictual. war than at: present.1: 'A less patient man than President Wilson should long ago have taken Mexico, oy the throat, and given her a; shaking, rhe American people do not }vant war with Mexico, but patiencb must somen lay cease to be a virtue. If we must nake Mexico behave the best time we :ould possibly pick would be the present. The longer the Drocess of house cleaning is delayed the more chance >f foreign complications, especially ?ince we have decided that we are too ?ood or to selfish to associate with the est of the world in a combination to nsure the peace of the world. It will not be such a hard job to oust Uarranza, take the Capital and some)ther strategic points in Mexico, but \ ;he job will be to keep the peace in , that turbulent /country. Little less ban extermination, annexation, and J repopulation of the country would 1 suffice to insure permanent tranquilty in Mexico. God forbid that we ire driven to such a course. We do i lot want it, but we fear it. THANKSGIVING SUGAR.
