?^~ Vp $hr Sxllon $j?ralb A. B. JORDAN Editor SUBSflMrTlO V. - $2.50 Per Yr. Dillon, S. C., ^ Vmbei 24, 1921 It seems that iTV pne respect the ? Irish question is lily Danquo's ghost. ~Il will not down. If Congress keeps|on it will resolve itself into a "Committee of In( vestigation." It might pay to have a ten year holiday around the capital, i L Mr. Bryan may yet live to see the | day when he can truly say, "I had ' rather be right than president." Uncle Sam's ten year holiday pro- ! posal was a "solar plexus" to the as- ( scmbled foreign delegates to the dis-, armament conference. - I The Governor has said "no" to any! public building program for next1 year and it probable that there will bo many echoes of approval of this position from the mountains to the seaboard. It looks as if all that is binding as a result of the disarmament conference will look very much like the League of Nations. Today will be hailed with delight Dy many a fellow who has laid in ; kit stock of ammunition and has longed for freedom of the woods. ( It would seem that some of the1' opposition to Mr. Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals is the fear that he ; %ould really give some significance to the first part of the name. IN ASSOCIATED t H.YIUTIKS FOIl DILLON. We raise the question of propriety of an Associated Charities for our town. Hardly a day passt s but that there are appeals to help some one claimed to be in need or distress. A laige number of people are beuevoently inclined and willing to help any worthy benevolent object, but | they have no opportunity of knowing d ?3io circumstances or the worthiness if the appeal. Sometimes these are (1 presented by irresponsible parties and \ the benevolently inclined make aj1 contribution on the ground that they j rather assist some who are unworthy j than to miss one worthy case. It;* appears to us thnt tho fmrn lo ~r ....r i ticient size now and the charity problem is sufficiently complex to warrant the organization of an As.sociated Charities to take over such | work in our community. We are not pressing the matter but feel constrained to raise the question of the propriety of the consideration of such v a move and call upon the citizens of ja the town to think it over and see if ' soine practical plan cannot be devjs- j11 e<l to handle what is becoming more ' a difficult and complex problem in ! t] our midst. j g( 1 THE CRIME WAVE. t, It is probably true that the crime o wave which has been sweeping over n sur country during the past few b years is gradually receding, yet it i? i _ still present, in sufficent volume to! cause alarm. There is still a multi-1 plicity of killing and taking human' tife and the citizenship of the land if being driven to the point where ajjj more positive stand must be taken ^ n* behalf of the preservation of huinan life. In this particular type of p arime Dillon county has a good rec- e< .ord of late. It has been some time t since there was a case in the county G ecurt ioc rauraer and this fact has e keen commented upon by presiding I judges. It is to be hoped that we C can keep up this record. And in this 1 ecnnectiQn it may be added that this 1 county has been conspicuous by the absence of cases of self destruction which has been become prevalent in the country at large. While we are ^ aware of the fact that conditions can , change at any time, and we are not , giving ourselves to undue exultation, ( atiM it is noteworthy that we have i ben remarkably free from the above i and it ought to be the aspiration of I the citizenship of our county that we * shall become even freer of every sort 1 of crime than we are. * _ ( THANKSGIVING. I It is interesting to study the different attitudes assumed toward thanksgiving and what is known as Thanksgiving Day. To some it is sim- i ply a day of cessation from labor ( while to others it is an onnortunitv for frivolity. There are those who will have the joy of happy family gatherings while others will he barred such pleasure. Some will see in it an occasion for revelling in their blessings while others will be led to be- profoundly grateful for any blessings which have come upon them sod in case they have been deprived f these they will still be of thank ful heart to Him who never makes a mistake. A very fine thanksgiving spirit is displayed in the following: This is Thanksgiving day. Its obserrance ought to be in the best sense religious. And it might be well to this end to review the feelings and emotions with which we approach it Much of our thankfulness may be THE DILLON 1 pv.rely selfish. The family circle hai remained unbroken. No wasting sick ness has come into the . home. Pros perity has left its blessings. Tlu table is laden with plenty. There ii meat in the larder and grain in th< storehouse. Because of these thing! they imagine they are grateful; bui such gratitude is of the essence oi selfishness. It is dependent upon ex terior conditions. It finds its basis in circumstances. It draws its inspir atiou from clear skies and smnnti sailing, hence it is fitful and evanes cent as the alternations of sunligh and shadow. If these conditions o personal comfort and prosperity an in themselves the ground of thanks fulness, where in the hour of adver sity shall we find occasion for re joicing? The record of the past hi' its graver side. There have been pah and losses and disappoinmtents ant bereavements and heartaches. When in these things is there reason ant ground for gratitude? Has the emptj larder, the bare table, the desolatt home, the vacant chair, the fresi mound in the cemetery, no place foi thanksgiving? Ah, just here is tht point of stumbling with many at earnest soul. We find in the blttei chill of adversity the true test of oui gratitude. And that is true gratitude which, triumphing over condition: merely physical and external, finds its ground of thankfulness in God Himself. It is independent of circumstances. It goes beneath the surface of life, whether sad or joyous, and found itself upon God." This is well o"t and we commend it tn dm consideration of our people as our attention is once more in a special way directed to thanksgiving. "For the fruit of the time of our toil For wliat'er wo have fought for; Whether born of the brain or the soil Do the meed we have sought for; I'or ihe gifts we have had from His hand Who is Lord of ihe living. Lot there run through the length of the land \ Thanksgiving! A Thanksgiving! ihih>ii;s. V rapped little fellow. With u shabby little tyke; Li* he has any name at all.
