THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1915.
The First Thanksgiving.
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.

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.

There are a number of good
South Carolina postoffiees,according

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

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. miner anu soil went to tnej
polo together, and then the father j
asked the son what he was going to

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?'?

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

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."
