Turn back with the wheel of time for nearly three long centuries and picture the first Thanksgiving feast, held on our own native soil. Out among the leafless trees, a crowd 01 nappy i Pilgrims are gathered around a rough-hewn table. Each one is eagerly waiting: to begin their first great feast. Yes, the little ones are chatting away about the great big turkey given them by the funny red men: mothers are wishing that the folks from the old country might step in to see what a bountiful supply of food Mother Nature has given them, while the men are thinking of the various kinds of game captured from the forests and so daintily prepared by the skillful Indian women. This is what the picture shows i at first glance, but study the faces for one minute. Gone is the worn, despairing look of the ! father and in its place one of; deep thankfulness is seen. The mothers look with tenderness upon their little ones as they realize the dangers already passed tnrougn ana mc greai goodness shown them by an all wise Heavenly R.t.ir. Each one remembers all of the hardships endured and many days of toil. Already that morning have their prayers been offer- d to God for I lis protecting care. Although , the air is chilly with the cold,: bleak snows from weeks before, i still from every face radiates a warmth of love and good cheer, j Even the stern countenance of the Rod Man seems softened as the love shining from the face of the Pilgrims touches his mighty heart. Such is, indeed, a picture full of truth and hnp~i j ness. Now. turn the whee' ' rapidlv forward again, thinking of the many songs of thanks the people of America have uttered since this first great Thanks- * giving in the days of old. Today have we not as much to be ! thankful for? Truly this y? ar our people should join in Thanksgiving to God that. He has spared our lar d from the cries and moans of the battlefield, as heard in so many ' nations of the world. From the [ r\* i _ f i . ? ? rugrims and other t nristian | people who first settled in our1, land, have been handed down a i gospel, of light?such ;is will al-1 ways brighten the pathway of the people of America. Once more voices should be lifted to God for His protecting carc. Selected. All a Joke, Brother. Many editorial paragraphs appear in the newspapers of this country which are not intended to be takan seriously. One such paragraph there? was in the issue of The Times of November 11. Facetiously rather than seriously we referred to the differences which lately have arisen between the Yorkville Enquirer and the Rock Hill Record over the distribution among the county news ... i in -n ii.i. i. papers of certain legal advertising. In its issue of Tuesday, , November 16, The Enquirer reproduced The Times' paragraph and referred to it editorially in a way that indicates that Editor Grist has unwittingly miscon strued its meaning. The position The Enquirer takes with reference to newspapers exceeding the rates prescribed by law in their charges for legal advertising is of course unassailable. If newspapers have overcharged the county for advertising The Enquirer does the public a service in calling attention to it. Further in connection with The Times' paragraph, we wish to assure The Enquirer that it was not intended to be offensive, but was spoken as so much pleasantry. End." headline. Something more to be thankful for. Sanguine of his election; we hereby nominate Woodrow Wilson for president of the world. One pint of mean corn liquor >ften gets a man into a peck 'o trouble. The turkey of tomorrow may well make eyes at the pigs of today. Postoffice Jobs to be Filled. There are a number of good South Carolina postoffiees,according to a statement issued from Washington, where the incumbents have not been appointed since raiircn a, and it is indicated that the plum tree may soon be shaken.

Greer, Honea Path, Johnston, Lamar, McCormick, Orangburg, Prosperity, Rock Hill, Summerton, Ridgeway, Simpsonville and Prosperity. Will Hold Bazaar. The Ladies' Home Missionary societv of the local Preahwlorion church are arranging for their annual Christmas Bazaar, which will this year be held on Tuesday, December lt>, probably in the Main street room until lately occupied by Stewart & Culp. Dinner will be served from 12:30 to 2 p. m. and as usual all kinds of fancy-work, home-made c.ikes, candies, etc., will be on sale and doubtless will find ready purchasers. Are You One of Them? Judge Clark, of the Statesville (N, C.) Landmark is very much opposed to the school system of the present day whereby the parents do all the teaching and teachers hear the lessons. He thinks that we had better do away with the costly school houses and buy automobiles and send the teachers around to the homes and give out the lessons in order that the parents will know what lesson to teach them. Editor Clark is rather sarcastic in his article and calls attention to the front page of the Saturday Evening Post where a father has laid aside his paper and is helping his boy to get his arithmetic. It shows the father "stumped" and the boy grinning over his dilemma. If vou want to appreciate that man's position have five children in school from the first to tenth * grades and have to help all with their lessons, and this after leaving school early in life. -Gastonian. The Columbia Record thinks that had Mr. Bryan been living in Noah's time he would have advised the old man to put the money he spent on the ark in building good roads through his community. The publisher of The Times would be pleased today to give thanks for the i aynient of a lumber of past-due subscription a', counts. "Football Season is Nearing WAS READY FOR SECOND POLE ?? Boy Saw No Probability That Firal One Would Stand Continued Strain Upun It. Ilnbhi Julius Silberfeld of the B'nai Abraham temple, in High street, in addre^sinc his congregation on the punishment of children, said: "Man? fathers punish their children I tco severely for a misdeed, and when this happens the child goes _ right hack and does the same thing over again. I once knew a father that tried this plan on his son. One day the father whitewashed a pole in his yard and said to his son, rWhonevei I you commit a deed that you know is' I wrong you are to drive a nail intc the pole.' "Some time after the bov came' running to his father and explained ; that he had filled the pole and couldn't get another nail in edge-1 ' n.n -i .... ?n\.N. miner anu soil went to tnej polo together, and then the father j asked the son what he was going to i <|?- . . , j "Seeing his son had nothing to j say, he suggested that the hoy pull out a nail whenever he did anything 1 wrong, whereupon the son replied, ! 'Why not plant another pole, father?'? Newark Star. SERBIA'S LACK OF NURSES. Sorbin is said to he the one country | in the civilized world in which there are no women over twenty years of' age unmarried. This is given as the ! 1 reason why there is such a lack of nurses for the 1'ed Cross work of the i Serbian army. Not only are the women all married and engaged in earing for their families, but the large majority of them live on small farms and are busy producing food j lor the nation as well as for the j a nnv. PREFERS THE OLD NAG. A former mayor of Emporia, Kan., has bought an automobile, but explains the superiority of anticipation over realisation in the following words: "1 prefer old Maud and the surrey. She has sense to supply what I lack when driving. She does not run against posts nor chase pedestrians ofi* the street, Htul when 1 ! ride after her 1 let my mind and mv j | arms and legs take a rest." SUGAR BEET FLOUR.
