The English.
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? Nov? r!

man no great amount of regret
is felt over the fact that

ioubt that Frank murdered Mary I
Phagan after mistreating her

was made when Governor Slaton I
outraged decency commuting
Frank's sentence "to life im- j

mistook him to be when they
elected him governor there
would have been no such thing

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

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.

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.
