THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1922.
Tlu* doughboy with the bayonet
is still the most important war
device, army officers say. Airplanes,
artillery, machine guns,
rifles and tanks are important,
but tliev are in the background.
It is always the man that counts,
not the job, conditions or equipment.
The best bookkeeper the
Standard Oil company ever had
was John I). Rockefeller, lie did
not merely keep books?he looked
ahead ami made good use of bis
opporiunit ies.
A poem appears in one of the
current magazines whieh purports
to {rive the mental attitude of the
liuweleuiue weed ill the garden as
it enjoys, iis little hour in the
sunshine before the gardener spies
it and punishes lis oaring by uproot
iiig it and throwing it aside
to shrivel and die. What is the
average weed's offense in the
world If It is not merely in living,
but in seeking 1o live in the garden.
Virtually every soealled
weed, the scientists tell us. luts a
right to live and a real service to
perforin, one deserving to win the
gratitude of mankind, if the truth
about it were known. And the
offense for which so many weeds
pay the penalty in human hatred
and in untimely death is simply
the offense of beihg in the wrong
place. How many people are that
way If How many lives capable of
giving good service to the world
are in the wrong niche and get
only rebuffs, repulses and heartbreaking
treatment because of it?
Han ford MeNider, national commander
of the Amcrcun Legion,
in a recent address said: "1 pledge
you that the American Legion is
going 1 <? fight first for the man
who is fighting the fight for his
life. Our big fight is for the man
who came hack lame 01* blind,
who must live through the war
Forever." The Amerieaii people,
however much they may he divided
upon the question of the
soldier bonus, are with this aim
of the Ameriean Legion. The
first duty of the nation should he
to euro for, eomfort and compensate
as far as possible the young
men disabled in the country's
service during the world war.
Those who are no longer able to
help themselves because of their
sacrifice for the nation deserve
from it the most liberal treatment,
and they should have it now. The
American people will never protest
or complain against whatever
is done to alleviate the sufferings
of the soldier who was disabled
through disease of wounds or accident
while in the service, either
overseas or in a training camp in
this country.
Old and New Way of Travel.
The difference in time it now
takes to make the trip by automobile
from Fort Mill to York
ami back to Fori Mill over good
roads compared with the time it
took to make the same trin over

-unimproved roads in a buggy
some years ago was illustrated
Friday morning when two Fort
Mill citizens left here after 9
o'clock and at 12 o'clock were
back at their homes, after spending
more than an hour at the
county seat. In years gone by,
when horse-drawn vehicles were
the principal mode of travel
through the country from Fort
Mill to York, about the quickest
time that could be made between
the two towns was five hours.
^ Then the round trip consumed
practically an entire day and at
its end the horse that had drawn
, the buggy was almost worn out
from pulling the vehicle over the
rough, hilly roads. Now one may
Club Meeings Saturday.
Contrary to the general impression,
the biuenuial meeting of the
Democratic clubs of York county
will be held Saturday, April 22,
and not Saturday, April 2y. Misunderstanding
as to th? date on
which the cluos are to meet arose
over the fact that there are five
Saturdays in this month. The
constitution of the party says the
clubs shall hold their biennial
meetings on the fourth Saturday
in April. At the meetings Saturday
each club will elect a full

delegates to the county convention,
which is to be held in the
court house at York on Monday,
May 1. and a member of the county
executive committee.
The county convention will be
composed of about 125 delegates,
apportioned among the various
clubs according to the vote they
least in the first primary in August,
1920. The plan of apportionment
provides one delegate
for each 25 votes east in the primary.
Under this rule Fort Mill
is entitled to only nine delegates
in the convention, as the vote of
the precinct in the August primary
two years ago was less than
d(K). against a vote of 500 cast by
the town alone in the primary
last December.
The principal work of the county
convention will be to arrange
lor the nominating primary next
August, the election of a county
chairman and a secretary and the
election of delegates to the State
convention, to be held in Colum
liia a Few days after tlit* county
convention. The presumption is
that this year for the first time ]
women will sit as delegates in the
county convention and that one j
or more may he s? 111 as delegates <
to the State convention. <
