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.
