In Dickens' "A Child's History of England," written perhaps three-fourths of a century ago. there is a paragraph of peculiar interest. The English character of Dickens' time has undergone little if any change to the present day. What thej crvooi novolict ond hiclnrian cuiit ^ivcti - Wi.VI 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 naticns of the earth. Wherever the descendants of the Saxon race have gone, have sailed, or otherwise have made their way, even to the remotest regions of the world, they have been patient, persevering, never to he broken | 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 by ice that never melts ?the Saxon blood remains unchanged. Wheresoever the race goes, there law and industry ?vnd 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 imgusn are doing nine 10 promote the ca?'Be 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, belie the statement. Day by day the English are slowly but none the less certainly doing their part to overcome the Germans on the battle 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 prose c ue mis warT These questions answer themselves. But what we started out to say is this: If there is any racial pride most South Carolinians feel, or should feel, it is in the fact that their veins run the same blood that has made the English people the torch-bearers of civilization, the one race that never has been more than momentarily beaten: in our veins is the same blcod that is being so freely spilled on the battlefieldsT of Europe thaf the Godgiven right of man to participate in his own worldly destiny shall not forever perish from the face of the old world. The Germans! conquer the English? Nov? r! While it is perhaps true that not very many people will undertake to justify the abduction of I^eo Frank from the Georgia prison. It is quite as true that among those who have any knowledge of the depravity of ;be man no great amount of regret is felt over the fact that he has b?en put out of the way for all time. There is, we think, about as much reason for doubt that Frank murdered Mary i Phagan after mistreating her horribly as there is for believing that white is black or that red 1 is green. The great mistake; moo mo ?? ?o iuuuv wucii uw ti iiwi oiaiuu i outraged decency lt?y commuting Frank's sentence to life itn-; prisonment. If Slaton hod been the man the people of Georgia ; mistook him to be when they elected him governor there would have been no such thing as the lynching of Frank. However much Slatcn may undertake to justify the commutation''of Frank's sentence the fact re The Colurpbia "boosters" who weie scheduled to visit Rock Hill today in behalf of a trade campaign they are promoting for the business interests of the capital ' city are long on gasoline to say the least. They seem to have it j to burn. The Rock Hill people doubtless were glad to get acquainted 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 1_ TT * 1 1 ? _ t 1 xvock run s own nusiness nouses i 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 filled ?and those are% 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, th^re is little more to be said as to the difference between the towns. The election of Dr. D. B. Johnson, president of J^inthrop, to the presidency of the Nationil Educational Association is a deserved tribute to the man who has perhaps done more for the State in an educational way than any of his contemporaries. We rejoice with the other friends of Dr. 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. IWirlau nf fKio u?nol/ V ? IUUJ V/A VI! IVJ ?? WI\< Pleasant Valley has had ten farmers' institutes during the last twelve years. This year, owing to the decrease in the fertilizer tag tax, Clemson is not holding many institutes, and this picnic will take the place of our annual farmers' institute. We will have this year 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 Wolford College and Dr. George B. Cromej\ 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 ! good people of this section and many of neighboring communities were enjoying the festivities of the annual Brown Shop picnic on August 17, and while everybody was happy and gay with I the young people chirping as merrily as the innocent little birds on a beautiful spring morning, Dan Cupid wound his way leisurely into the crowd, drew his bow, and, with his unerring aim, fired his arrow into the hearts of two of our young friends, drawing them quickly but firmly into one. Miss Sadie Bailes and Mr. Frederick H. Wilson, who?need no introduction to our readers, were the victims of Cupid's cruelness (?). They slipped quietly out from among the merry-makers, drove down to Fort Mill and were married by Rev. E. Z. James, their own pastor being on his vacation. JaygoldP Gold Hill.
