George Washington.
All over this broad land the
22nd of Fehruary?Washington's
birthday?is celebrated.
How shall any man add aught
to the praise or eulogy of George
Washington? History and biography,
eloquence and poetry
have exhausted their combined
riches upon the successful leader
of the American revolution and
the founder of the American
republic?our first great national
hero.
Every great crisis in the history
of the world has found its
man to control and guide it.
Call this Providence or accident,
the American revolution was no
exception to it. Before the first
murmurs of discontent were
heard in that struggle the man
was being prepared for the crisis.
On the banks of the Potomac
and. the Rappahannock, thirty
years before Lexington and
Bunker Hill, a truthful and
mam j ij\jy wao j^iuwiu^ up,
ripening into stalwart young
manhood. With only the common
school education of that
early day, the young man was
soon being educated into the
broader school of nature and experience,
in the great forest,
under the open heavens, with his'
surveyors' chain and his sword,
in Indian wars, defending the
frontier settlements from savage
incursions.
Growing still apace, the manly
young Virginian is soon the leading
spirit and military command
er of all that Potomac region,
and his skill, endurance and
courage in those campaigns swell
the measure of his fame.
Aside from ail questions of
success or failure as we look at
the man, what was it that made
Washington great? It is clear
that it was not the possession
of great or brilliant intellectual
faculties. Not in congress or
convention, nor as speaker,
writer, or even soldier were these
displayed. Other men have excelled
him in all these ways, but
in a word it was manhood; it
was character; it was moral
greatness. It was that nice ad- .
justment of the moral and intel- :
lectual faculties, that perfect
blending of parts, that lofty I
sense of duty in the performance '
of every trust, that made up!
that consummate piece of man- j
hood which flowered out in that
eighteenth century of time and
which is now evermore the
priceless possession and gloiy of
history. This is the supreme 1
greatness of Washington.

Your Home Paper.
r?. i 1 '
n. m yum lUCHl pappr mat gives |
the home news, and in which ]
your name appears from time to 1
time. It is here your good for-! |
tunes, or misfortunes, are dis- <
cussed,* and mention made of i
marriages, births, deaths and a i
multitude of other items of inter-1
est, all of which goes to show j
that your home paper is watch- (
ing your doings dny by day and i'
is always eager to speak a kind t
word for you, and in case of for- '
tune, to rejoice with you, or in 1
misfortune, to offer condolence. (
it also advertises your town and 3
i farm, and helps to build up and
; further the interests of your
t community in many different
ways. You look in your newspaper
that is printed in the distant
city, miles away, and you
will never see your name in
print, never a kind word spoken
of you or your family in cases of
j misfortune or bereavement; no
I mention made of your town or ;
its doings. You learn nothing of
what is going on in your township;
yea. more than this, not i
even learn how your next door
neighbor is faring?whether he
has been roped in by a smoothtongued
traveling sharper, has
been sold out by the sheriff, become
a widow or widower, married
again, and so on libitum.
Now, if you want to keep posted
on the home doings, it is plain
that the only medium through
which you can ^o so is the home
newspaper.
If you are a business man, in
position to extend advertising
patronage, or a private citizen,
ask yourself the question if yofl
are doing your part toward your
home paper in its fight to build
up your business and town and
the community in which you live
and from which you expect your
livelihood.
Outsiders Must Keep Mum.
Not being on the spot, we are
unable to say whether, in our
opinion, a majority of the voters
of Yorkville desire a change of
name for the town. However,
we have a pretty strong idea
that were the voters of the
entire county allowed to pass on
the question, York's county seat
would wake up the morning after
with the "ville" still tacked onto
the end of its name.? Fort Mill
Times.
There is something to that,
and what is more, since Yorkville
is a county seat, the entire county
should have a say. The particular
element, however, that is
manipulating this proposition,
never seems to consider the
county has anything to say about
local matters; except when it
comes to voting bonds to build a
court house, or something like
that. The fact that the county
was contemptuously ignored in
the location of the court house,
is a matter still fresh in the
public mind, and The Times
need not deceive itself into
thinking that th"e county is
going to be considered in this particular
matter. ? Yorkville EnI

Time for a Change.
We walked into a local grocery
store the other day and here is
what we saw: Turnips from
Michigan, onions from Spain,
Irish potatoes from Maine, sweet
potatoes from North Carolina,
cow peas from California, celery
from Florida, butter beans from
Michigan, white peas from
California, apples from New
York, molasses from Louisiana,
cabbage from New York, canned ,
goods from Indiana and Illinois. ;
1 here was not a single item we ,
have mentioned?not even the
canned goods?that could not
have been raised in Cherokee
county. Is there any wonder <
we are poor when we send away <
for almost everything we eat? <
It's time to change this system <
