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.

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
