When a man sets himself up ! as a historian, either on his own initiative or at the suggestion of some one who deems him fitted to do the work in hand, one of the first things he should make up his mind to is to get his facts straight. Having stated the facts, he may draw interested or disinterested conclusions therefrom and*the one to whom he is speaking, by word of mouth or in print, will be able to take for what it is worth his conclusions. This being true, it is a matter for wonder that the "historian," alleged or real, should find it advisable to set up it li?11111 a? it ihci wucii tut: iwtiiu i is not the fact. So much by way of introduction to a word or two rela-1 tive to one phase of the recent dedicatory exercises of the new court house in Yorkville. There were people in the audience on that occasion, as there will be others in the future, who heard , the statement and accepted it as true that the movement for the new building had its inception \sith the county grand jury meeting in the fall of 1911. The fac^ is otherwise. The grand jury of 1911 was not the first to s lggest what seemed to he the necessity for a new county court house?it simply reechoed a suggestion made editorially in the Port Mill Times in the spring of 1910. An impartial history of the new court house would contain the statement that the movement for the building was begun by this paper, as was pointed out by Mr. .1. S. Uriee, chairman of the court house 1 commission, in making public the financial statement of the luiiiiiiiasiun. 11* sonic criminals or .su.-pecled people are like their pictures in the papers, there can be no doubt of their guill. But it isn't always safe to judge a man by what purports to be his portrait. A smile and a kind word costs' nothing, but the man or woman: who has the habit of radiating smiles and saying pleasant tilings exerts a gracious influence, the value of which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. The Aldrtch Mfg. company, of Buffalo, N. Y., is to be commended for its refusal to furnish $5,000 worth of cartridges to to the allied nations. The president of the company said, in refusing the order, that he did not care to help prolong the war. mi . ? ? - mere is a inoe in AincSi, 11 is said, that allows a man to speak in public just so long as he can stur.d on one foot. What a time some of our long-winded statesmen would have trying to perform that feat! Congress might do worse than pass such a law. No one knows anything about , the character of the inhabitants of Mars, always supposing the j planet is inhabited, but considering what has been going on thej ? past year in this old world of ours it might be well for the earth and Mars to swap names. It is all wrong to suppose that the financial statemenof a church is of interest only to the members of the church. To a rank outsider such report sometimes brings the information that the smallest amounts paid for the support of the church come from the more wealthy members and that others who are able to rnntrihiifp lihprnllv nnv littlo nothing. The United States government is, it seems, about to awake at last to the fact that England's policy toward the commerce of this country is more hurtful than Germany's sinking a Indigent vessel carrying a handful of fool-hardy Americans. Our Uncle Sam should notify Mr. J. Bull that it is time to apply the brakes in this matter. The writer of this squib has owned nothing in the way of live stock larger than a setter dog, and if he ever owns a horse, mule, or even a donkey, that will permit a young lady to ride astride its back through the town's streets, it will be sl.ot immediately or sent off to Europe for cannon food. Such animal has absolutely no respect for itself or the public morals. We do not profess to have the wisdom of a Solomon but neither are we so thick-headed that we can't put two and two together and make four. What puzzles us is that we are lashing ourselves into a fury because Germany doesn't come to us with hat in hand and say, "Please. Mister, 1 won't do it any more." when as a matter of fact England has been romping all over our rights ever since the war began, and nobody, until recently, has raised a word of protest. ? Dillon Hehild. Chance for the President. The followinir commiiniention has been sent The State by J. C. Hunter, of Liberty, a former resident of Fort Mill: "Have just read the letter of 'J. T. K.' and your reply to it. You say that we have neither a sufficiently large army nor navy to make any nation observe our rights as a neutral party on the high seas. "We could give the allies to understand that if any of our ships were seized and confiscated that we would immediately declare an embargo on all exports of whatever nature and use our influences on South America to lo the same, and further to coniscatc all their possessions in the United States. Then we would lave our rights respected beoanse the Allies do not want the United State against them, neitl er dobs Germany. "It President Wilson would'dispatch such a note to the Allies, ai\d give them two weeks to answer, then we would get something for our cotton this fall and it would be in time to help tl e farmer and not the speculator Now is the time lor President Wilson to help the South. Cotton is our chief export. We can not stand a repetition of last fall. ".by placing an embargo on all exports the war then would soon come to a close. 'Twould be a survival of the fittest. England is now seeing the beginning of her downfall as mistress of the seas. President Wilson should act now that the issue between Germany and the United States i* about settled." - A * The News of Gold Hill. Times (.'orrc?|)oiHlenc?\ The ice cream supper given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Paris Saturday evening was quite a success, despite the fact that some difficulty was experienced in securing freezers. We don't believe that any of our boys are members of the corn clubs, but if they were, it is probable that someone would wear thfe laurels of champion corn grower next fall. Never before have we seen such bright prospects for an enormous yield on some of the "pet" patches in this community. W. M. Wilson and Elliott Kim t brell leave tomorrow for the Isle of Palms, where they will spend ten days in camp with the State militia. Miss Mable Smith and Gary YVindle returned last week from Greenville thev attended the Bible Conference, as representative of the Philathea and Baraca classes of Flint Hill church. Hyperion. liold Hill, .July 19. Buys York County Oats. X Charlotto firm last Saturday bought five carloads of York county oats at Rock Hill, according to VV. W. Long, State agent for the farm demonstration work, who was in Columbia yesterday. The price was 55 cents per bushel in bulk. The same firm, he said, offered from 58 to 61 cents for the oats sacked, the sacks to be returned. "The farmerc of the State can set in touch with this firm by communicating with the People's Bank of Rock Hill," said Mr. Long. ? The State, Tuesday. I Greenville Womans College Greenville, S. C.
