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

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 code
tit* tin* samurai '"eoueeived the
?Stale us antedating the individua!,"

former as part and parcel thereof,

the le.cj timate incumbent of its
authority."
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

No feasting or festivity entered
Into this solemn and impressive
cer-moiiy; it was a religious service

Confederals Veterans Enjoy Hospitality
ot the U. D. C.
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.
Tib is was responded to by Com
rade Sam F. Masaey, in a few wel
ohoseu reuihrks titling the subject
and occasion.
(2) Women of the Confederacy
Tlips was responded to by Adju
tant VJ- W. Ardrey in a hupp}
style,.complimentary to and lauda
tory (if those precious ones whe
strove* so nobly to comfort anc
, cheer \ tlio soldiers in their hare,

i (,'t) \The Cause in Which W<

This was responded to by Chap
, lain J.!II. Mack in a manner cnl
eulated to make old soldiers be
' lieve thut the cause was not los
j (or, if so, only temporarily) bu
1 that Gdd in in His own, good tiun
and way will show that their strug
gle was not in vain.
(4) Lights and Shadows of tin
Soldier in Gamp.
This was responded to by Rev
I ?T. H. TUornwell, D. P., in nsua
happy st.y.e. 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. Old Vet.

make six bales of cotton to the

of this, i think five bales would
