The English.
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.

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.
