C.. as Biail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. AUGUST 28. 1918. What is more delightful than a cool, breezy day after a couple of weeks of hot, sultry weather? A man will work all day in the hot sun and not mind it much, but to stand idle in the hot sun for an hour is torture. This should be remembered when we tie our horses to a post while we do our trading in town. Horses have feelings as wel 1 as persons. Suppose we consider our schools as agencies which shall determine the destiny of our country, for that is precisely what they are. When viewed in that aspect they immediately become the bulwarks of liberty, and no true patriot can then deny them the moral and financial support needed to make them efficient. TL- 1 A A P j. nc parcel post system is 01 great convenience to the public. It fills a long felt want that ex-1 press companies could not or would not meet. As an adjunct to the rural free delivery alone, i it is of inexpressible benefit. That the usefulness of the sys-1 tern will be increased, there is i not the shadow of a doubt. . You can send almost anything by parcel post. There are just a ; few things you cant't ship. You cannot ship a live animal. But you can send a queen bee. You cannot send a raw hide, an infernal machine, liquor. But you can send medicine, eggs, vegetables, fruits, butter, fresh meats, dressed fowls within the first zone?that is for a radius of fifty miles. A few days ago a man was run down by an automobile in 1 Aurora, 111. Immediately twentyfive members of the Aurora Automobile Club gave their ser vices as special policemen and will hereafter arrest all drivers found violating the speed ordinance. Their example is worthy of emulation by all autoists. The practice of reckless driving must be broken up and auto enthusiasts should take the initiative. The Lancaster News finds nothing to commend in the speech which Senator Tillman made in the Senate a few days ago in opposition to the movement for woman suffrage. We are not surprised that The News thinks Senator Tillman did not add anything to his reputation by the speech, since we are informed that The News "never believed that Tillman would im prove to much advantage in the United States Senate or elsewhere." In the past, as r.t present. The Times lias found a great deal more to commend than to condemn in the public acts of Senator Tillman, and in connection with his speech against this foolishness in behalf of a vote for women we are decidedly of the opinion that the Senator voiced the sentiment of ninety-nine out of every hundred of his constituents in his view of the matter. However, we are inclined to agree with The News that Senator Tillman did not add much to his reputation by the speech, for his reputation s already made as one of the oremost statesmen of the day. Vhich reminds us that South Carolina was indeed fortunate in eelecting Senator Tillman for ;he term which he is now servng. A very gTeat deal of interest s manifest throughout the country in the efforts of Harry K. fhaw, who escaped from the Matteawan insane asylum in New York a few days ago and fled to Canada, to resist the efforts of the authorities of that State to bring him back to this country and again put him behind the prison bars of the asylum. From the accounts of the case which are being published in the daily press of the country it would seem that the New York officials are expecting the Canadian government to honor the extradition papers for Thaw regardless of any rights he may have in the premises. It remains to be seen, however, whether the Canadian authorities expect to stultify themselves just to accommodate the State of New York. Meanwhile there are many people who are hoping that Thaw will not have to return to Matteawan, for they think that he has been sufficiently punished for dispatching a bad piece of baggage in the person of Stanford White. It is really a question whether Thaw is insane or not, though if he be sane it cannot be said in his behalf that he always acts like a man of sound sense. Wanted---A Socrates. What Fort Mill, like many other small towns, needs most is a Socrates who by systematic questionion will set the people to thinking, sting consciousness and conscience into action, and persuade them to adopt new business ways. It is not the morals of the town-people that need awakening (for their morals without exception are equal or superior to those of city people) hut the prosperity and permanence of the town are threatened by inertia, self-interest and lack of home pride. So, a Socrates is needed, not to go about as tlie great Greek God did, poor, shabby and barefoot, stopping indiscriminately in the street and public places co expound lis wisdom, hut a Socrates up-to- date a man who can talk the subject of community development and put his thoughts in a masterful way as Socrates did. Community development is the most important work lor Port Mill today, and an xponent of tlie subject is needed in this town one who can arouse the citizens to action and defense in fighting the indolent evil in much the same manner as the evangelist arouses the churches to attack moral wrong. There must be an awakening among our people, if the town is to prosper and expand along with a number oi't-uvnaof this s-c ion. JLLtrrjuu* \ o.. I \ V.-.1 jffl? knows that ihis is the very b day.
