NOVEMBER 30. 1911. i ii^ii ^ ii ^ ii # THANKSGIVING DAY. ] | Thanksgiving day is a proper : i and convenient occasion for considering both the duty and the grace of gratitude to the Giver Cft all good. But Thanksgiving 1 day is not simply for the abstract discussion of general ideas pres- J i ent in thought or stirring the emotions. This day does?or should?have a direct governing ! relation to the ministries of the hand and the unfolding of the j1 ' ,, wallet. * * When it is cele- i brated in the spirit of the scrip- j tural exhortation to thankfulness, ' it becomes a time of rejoicing in ] the truest, fullest sense, because ii ' I?i it joins praise to God with practical ministry to the poor and un- j fortunate. Thanksgiving should 1 issue in thanksgiving. Praise i should become a practice. Grat- 1 itude must become a temper and j tendency of ths life. So will God be glorified and gratified, 1 I and men, by their cordial and i constant recognition of His goodness, be lifted in the scale of 1 i - I being and be the better fitted to 1 receive from heaven more favors 2 still.?Rev. C. A. S. Dwight. 1 I NOTE AND COMMENT. 1 This office is in receipt of a request for yearly subscription and advertising rates from the Charleston Fair and j Racing association. The subscription price of The Times is $1.25 per year, and as for rates, $1.25 per inch each i insertion would not buy space in these columns for advertising horse racing, or any other gambling sport. And besides this, it is the hope of The Times that the governor, in his message to j the Legislature which convenes in about six weeks, will incorporate a | recommendation that the General As- i sembly take immediate steps to prevent gambling at the Charleston race 1 track. Of the two evils, race track gambling and whiskey, we look upon t the latter as the lesser evil, and that the State has practically rid itself of whiskey, it is to be hoped that the race track will not be allowed to establish itself within the borders of our Commonwealth. The readers of this newspaper may rest assured that not one line will ever appear in these columns that will be intended as a stimulus to such an abomination in the sight of the Lord and a respectable citizenship. It is to be hoped that the farmers of Fort Mill township will readily sign the pledge for a reduction of cotton acreage 1 for 1912 when they are approached ' within the next few weeks by the representative of the Rock Hill Buggy, company who is now canvassing the < county in the interest of this movement. The farmers are face to face I with the fact that something must be done to obtain a profitable price for cotton, and that a reduction of the acreage is about the only manner of accomplishing this end is apparent to all. Sign the pledge, live up to the agreement, and next year at harvesting time you will thank yourself for i doing so. x Judt why anyone should want to mu- j tilate the signboards which have been , erected along the highways to direct t the traveler on his way cannot be un- c derstood, yet there are people in almost | every community who can not content t themselves until such signboards are * either defaced or destroyed. It is not ' generally known perhaps that the tear- ( ing down of road signs is considered a ( misdemeanor in law and is punishable s by fine or imprisonment. Hence, it would not be surprising to hear that 1 those who have been mutilating the signs along the .-oad from Fort Mill to Pleasant Valley had been hauled into court and made to pay the penalty. ( t The plan of the New York bankers j to furnish $50,000,000 to the Southern i cotton farmers may be all right for r those who are in position to take ad- 4 vantage of the offer, but the trouble s is that the farmer who really needed " help has already been forced to sell his ( cotton for almost nothing. What the South needs most is a means whereby the "one-horse" farmer may obtain a | living price for his cotton at the time < when he has to sell it, and the New 1 York proposition cannot be of this service to him the present season. ?? I That blind tigerism in South Carolina is largely responsible for the scarcity , of day laborers is the belief of one Fort Mill man. The argument wa? made that under the present law it is , much easier to buy two gallons of ; liquor for $3.10 and sell it for $12 than it is to engage in manual labor at $1 per day. There is perhaps much truth : in this statement. Legalize the sale of ; whiskey and there soon would be an 1 over-supply of woodchoppers, cooks, i washerwomen and other helpers is the belief of this Fort Mill man. . J Of course, there is no time lost, but ? it would be well enough for you to arm yourself with your county registration certificate and tax receipt and call on . the local supervisor of registration and j secure a town registration certificate if you care to vote in the municipal j election the second Tuesday in January, j next. . . : The Times thinks it unnecessary to j devote time and space to boosting the J proposition to vote bonds for street im- , provement in the election to be held t December 7. The result some weeks ago of the electoin, which was declared 1 null because of the improperly drawn J notice authorizing the election, was an evidence that our people fully realize ] the need of better streets, and the election next week will, we feel certain, again result in an almost unanimous vote for the bonds. A jail term would be none too bad for the miscreant who a few nights ago besmeared the steps and hall of the local school building with paint. None but a characterless person would do such a thing. Mr. Finley Doing Effective Work. The following recent special to The I News and Courier from the Washing. j?* .L.t .......... ton correspcmuem ui mat pau^i .a particular interest to the people of the Fifth Congressional district: "Among the congressional committees whose business never stops is that of the Joint Committee on Printing, which is concerned with the work of the Government Printing Office?the largest printing establishment in the world. "Each chamber of Congress has a committee on printing, and the two committees together form the Joint Committee on Printing, and also the Printing Investigation Commission, which, during the recent extra session, inaugurated reforms likely to result in the saving of $75,000 to $100,000 a year to the people of the United States. "The chairman of the House Committee on Printing is the ,Hon. D. E. Finley, of the Fifth South Carolina district. Mr. Finley is thoroughly acquainted with the subjects which the committee has in hand and has been an exceedingly energetic leader in the work of the Joint Committee on Printing and of the Printing Investigating Commission. A number of the reforms which are to be made owe their origin to the vigilance of Mr. Finley in detecting abuses. The assistant secretary of the Printing Investigation Commission is Mr. W. R. Bradford, of Fort Mill, S. C. "Some idea of the faithfulness with which Mr. Finley has attended to his committee work is conveyed in the records of the Joint Committee on \ Printing. Before the present Congress he was for two terms minority 1 member from the House. During those terms there were 26 meetings of the committee, and Mr. Finley attended all but two. Since the beginning of the present Congress, which made him chairman of the House Committee on Printing, he has attended every one of the 16 meetings of the Joint Committee on Printing and the Printing Investigation Commission. The record speaks for itself." Indictment for 1. B. Felder. In the court of general sessions at Newberry Monday an indictment was handed the grand jury charging Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta lawyer, with bribery. The charge was that he attempted to bribe H. H. Evans in 1905, while Evans was chairman of the board ' of directors- of the State dispensary. . Evans, with John Bell Towell, of Batesburg, and L. W. Boykin, of Camden, were named as witnesses in the case. The indictment is drawn under sec- , tion 261 of the criminal code and contains three counts. In effect, it charges that Felder, on or about Octo- ' ber 2, 1905, offered H. H. Evans of < Newberry, then chairman of the State dispensary board, a large amount of Jtock in a company organized by Fel- ' ier, to influence Evans' vote to secure . orders for liquors from the company < jo organized. The first count charges that on the date named Felder offered ' Evans $50,000 of the capital stock of this company organized under the laws of one of the States of the United States, said State being to the jurors known. From the County Seat. Correspondence Fort Mill Times. Yorkville, Nov. 27.?The court of general sessions, which convened on the 20th inst., made good headway in the criminal work last week, having disposed of a majority of the cases on the calendar. Sentences were passed Friday on the parties convicted and the court adjourned until this morning, when civil work was taken up. The grand jury, in its final present- ment last week, recommended the ' building of a new and larger court , louse. This is one or me cuun'-y ? j greatest needs at present, and it is the lope of everyone with whom your cor- ( espondent has talked that the Legisla- J ;ure will find cause to give us a new rourt house. Next Monday is salesday and several ;racts of land and six shares of King's Mountain cotton oil stock will be offered for sale before the court house loor. ] Farmers are about through picking :otton and are now putting in a lot of ' small grain.
