In Dickens' "A Child's His- ( tory of England," written per- 1 haps three-fourths of a century 1 ago, there is a paragraph of 1 peculiar interest. The English ' character of Dickens' time has ' undergone little if any change 1 to the present day. What the { great novelist and historian said of his fellow-countryman of the 19th century can be said of him ! with equal truth in the 20th century. We quote: It (the English-Saxon) has been the greatest character among the nalicns of the earth. Wherever the descendants of the Saxon race have gone, 1 have sailed, or otherwise have made their way, even to the remotest regions of the world, thej' have been patient, persevering, never to be broken j in spirit, never to be turned aside from enterprises on which they have resolved. In Europe, Asia, Africa, America, the whole world over; in the desert, in the forest, on the sea; scorched by a burning sun, or frozen 1 by ice that never melts ?the Saxon blood remains unchanged. Whereso ever the race Roes, there law and industry ^pd safety for life and property and all the great results of steady perseverance are certain to arise. Now and then one hears some person possessed or more knavery than knowledge remark that the English are doing little to promote the cause of the allies in the great war in which nearly all of Europe is engaged. The losses of the English, running! into the hundreds of thousands, j belie the statement. Day by day j the English are slowly but none the less certainly doing their part to overcome the Germans on the batLle lines in Flanders, and Belgium. In the great drive of the Teutons on Paris last September, did not the merq handful of King George's soldiers intercept and do even more than seemed possible for so few to do to halt the apparently irresistible rush of the Germanic armies and drive them back beaten and broken over the road they had' so lately victoriously traversed? Who, prithee, is bearing the brunt of the allies' campaign in the Dardanelles? Who has swept the high seas clean of German battleships and German commerce? Who, by and large, is furnishing the money to prosec lie this war? These questions answer themselves. But what we started out to say is this: If there is any ra-1 cial pride most South Carolinians feel, or should feel, it is in the 1 fact that their veins run the J same blood that has made the , English people the torch-bearers < of civilization, the one race that ' never has been more than mo- 1 mentarily beaten; in our veins j is the same blood that is being j so freely spilled on the battle- I fields' ot Europe that the God- 1 given right of man to participate j in his own worldly destiny shall not forever perish from the face i of the old world. The Germans j conquer the English?

There is, we :hink, about as much reason for ioubt that Frank murdered Mary I Phagan after mistreating her norribly as there .is for believing :hat white is black or that red I s green. The great mistake' was made when Governor Slaton I outraged decency commuting Frank's sentence "to life im- j prisonment. If Slaton had been the man the people of Georgia ; mistook him to be when they elected him governor there would have been no such thing is the lynching of Frank. However much Slaton may undertake :o justify the commutation' of Frank's sentence the fact re The Colurpbia "boosters" who A'eie scheduled to visit Rock Hill ;oday in behalf of a trade camjaign they are promoting for the jusiness interests of the capital city are long on gasoline to say die least. They seem to have it' Lo burn. The Rock Hill people | ioubtless were glad to get ac-1 juainted with the Columbia folk and it goes without saying that they were cordially received and courteously treated in "the good town," but that is far from saying that any considerable amount of trade will be diverted from Rock Hill's own business houses to those of Columbia. The truth is that Rock Hill people do not iiave to go away from home to have their every day wants tilled? and those art* the most important wants and the ones which count for most in dollars and cents after all. _ Except the fact that Columbia is larger in population than Rock Hill, there is little more to be said as to the difference between the towns. The election of Dr. D. B. Johnson, president of ty'inthrop, to the presidency of the National Educational Association is a deserved tribute to the man who has perhaps done more for the State in an educational way than iny of his contemporaries. We I'oinino witVi ntKnr f finndc of I)r. Johnson and Winthrop that he has been thus honored. Pleasant Valley's Picnic. Editor The Times: Pleasant Valley's big annual picnic will be held this year on August 27, Friday of this week. Pleasant Valley has had ten farmers' institutes during the last twelve years. This year, owing to the decrease in the fertilizer tag ta-\, Cletnson is not holding many institutes, and this picnic will take the place of our annual farmers' institute. We will have this vear a prohibition rally, and in addition to an address by Mr. John T. Green, of Lancaster, we will probably have addresses by Dr. Snyder of WclTord College and Dr. George K. Crome/\ of Newberry. Lieutenant Governor Bethea has also been invited to deliver an address. There will probably be other speakers in addition to those named above, and the prospects are for good speeches, a good crowd and a better dinner. Everybody is cordially invited to bring a well-filled basket. S. E. B. Aug. 23, 1915. A Surprise Marriage. Editor The Times: While the ?ood people of this section and j many of neighboring communities were enjoying the festivities if the annual Brown Shop picnic in August 17, and while every- j Irody was happy and gay with t the young people chirping as merrily as the innocent little birds on a beautiful spring morning, Dan Cupid wound his way 1 leisurely into the crowd, drew bis bow, and, with his unerring aim, fired his arrow into the hearts of two of our young I friends, drawing them quickly but firmly into one. M'ss Sadie Bailes and Mr. Frederick H. Wilson, who?*ieed no introduction to our readers, were the victims of Cupid's cruelness (?). They slipped quietly out from among the I merry-makers, drove down to Fort Mill and were married by Kev. E. Z. James, their own pastor being on his vacation.
