The local newspaper is thn one nowsnaner that sliould command t he putrommu of the community. Tf only one journal can he taken in a family, it should ho the one printed at home. I here in now little excuse for any person of ordinary intelligence not taking a city daily with tho local newspaper. since the best can he had for a nominal cost; hut there should ever he the heartiest accord and sympathy between the local newsimi er and the community. The I ical newspaper is the backbone of t he community, and generous as is 1 he pu I die appreciation of i t h office, jts merits much more sympathy and support than it generally receives. ? ? There in h widespread notion flint th.e Japanese soldiers nre far tnlisls, been use when they jnjn the colors in wiir times they enll themselves kesshitHl (determined to die.) lint only in a restricted souse run they he railed fatalists. They count their lives as forfeit, i' is true, hut only in the sense that each man is quite willing to i ie. and expects, when his crisis cornea, to give his life, if necessary for the success of his task. He hopes to come hack, hut only as a > ictor. hotter far t hat his hones he blenched in foreign land than I e should return to his home defeated or with his work unaccomplished. This is the real meaning of kesshital. It is not. that th*? soldier is hound at any event to throw his life away, but that in any event where success may be accomplished by his effort he will win even at llio cost of his life? lm will succeed or die.

The First Thanksgiving Day, Over a century and a half before the lauding of the Pilgrims ni Plytnonuth, a band of English wayfarers made t lie barren shores of Newfoundland their stopping place, and the record of the day's observance is thus reeoided in the shin's log; "On Monday morning, May 27, 1.77S, at) ?nrd the Ayde we received all thccoinmnnion by the minister of Uravtsend, and prepared as i/ood Olir infiii tin towm-il n,?l ....,1 ^ - . ?

No feasting or festivity entered Into this solemn and impressive cer-moiiy; it was a religious service only, and was the tirst religious service ever held in North America, so far as is known, The South Carolina College! which now has the greatest atteu- | dance in its history, will celebrate on the hlli.

On last Friday, according to pro grain, the local oanip No. U20 United Confederate Veterans, as semhled at 13:40, p. in,, am I marched under their commander [ L. N. Culp, to the Presbvteriai manse. In order that the U. D, C might have a suitable plaoe to en tertain the veterans, the hospita ble pastor, Or. Thornwell. and hif family opened wide the doora oi the | manse, where the Fort Mill chapter, United Dnughters of tht Confederacy, with a sprinkling oi the sons, had assembled to receivt the old veterans. Promptly at 1 p. hi. the latter arrived on tht scene and stormed the castle. The) were not repulsed; no, not by lonjj odds; but were met at the door b) Dr Thornwell, on the part of him self and family, and were cordiall) received by Mesdames R. F. Grier T. FI. Thornwell, J. B. Alack (of ticers) and others on behalf of tin Daughters. When the heart) hand-shaking was over, the veter mis were esoorted to the parloi where they listened attentively tc a prayer by Dr. J. B. Alack, chap lain of the camp, Then the Duughtera through their spokesman, Dr. Thornwel) warmly welcomed the gray-beard* ill the doctor's own, peculiar and winning way. The address ol welcome was responded to h> Commander Culp and Cotnrudt S, H. Epps. Then a welcome summons wn? born ?ii upon the earn of the old follows and they were escorted In to the dining rcom where all were seated at tables laden with such n j toast as old sole iors used to dream about when hungry. Fair hniult served the tables and made still more appreciable the choice viands The old soldiers made the attack on the commissary stores with great spirit, as if they thought tc sodm reduce the main fortress; but pshaw! as fast as one dish wut emptied another took its place; sc tit e gray-beards lnnl to call a haul! and parley awjjilfc. When their ap pet jtes had been sated, sweet voic es slang "The Bonny Blue Flug," aftey which Cotntuander Gulp pro posed the following toasts: (lh The Confederate Soldier.

He never fails to in | terest, instruct and amuse an an thence in hid post-piamiiai efforts l and this occasion wasftio exception (5) |Sons of Veterans Greeting to Old Soldiers. Knrle K. Thornwe.l, Esq., hac been assigned to greet the hires 01 | behalf of the sons, but, in his nb s nee, his brother, James, made i i good substitute and spoke to tin i sentiment in a short but eminently j appropriate address. He wai greatly applauded. These speeches were listened t< with marked attention and al were visibly affeoted. The pro ! cerdings were interspersed wit! songs by the Daughters in wbicl the veterans sometimes joined will j zest. The assembly then deserted tin tables, still groaning under liieii loads of ch^er, and broke into lit tie groups to smoke and chat. Af ter half an houi's lounging, eamj was again pitched in the parloi where each veteran registered hif i name and command, as being pres. ent 011 the occasion. Then all sang "God be With You 'Til Wi i Meet Again," and the chaplain spoke a benediction. Some of the old fellows claim that facing the crowd and receiv ing warm hand-shakes and glance* of honor und esteem fromsoft eyet and the speeches and the song* | caused present happiness to bt commingled with sad memories ol the past; and that it was almost a& trying 011 the neryes as charging 9 hittery, but they feel willing to throw themselves into the breach ngain whenever the bugle sounde for boots and saddles or the drum beats the long-roll.
