THURSDAY, NOyFJ.M?ER 30, 1922.
The whole scheme to establish, tw
boll weevil experiment, station ut
F lorence with alleged. "exporta" in
charge to give the farmers advice as
to the most effective way to fight tho
weevil is bottomed upon the idea of
increasing the power of the college
behind it and of providing easy Job3
with good salaries for a lot of men
who will do practically nothing to
earn tho money thoy ate paid, because
there will bo nothing they can
do. So far as York county is concercnd,
her merpbers of the legislature
already have receivod an ox:
prcssion of tho people an boll weevil
"b::perts.''' The. subject was discussed
in the campaign last August and
one of the candidates on whom a
fight was made because he refused to
fritter away the taxpayers' money by
agreeing to the employment for th*>
county of one of these "experts'' was
reeleoted. Neither the Colunfbia
State nor the Spartanburg Herald,
both advocating the establishment ot
the experiment staticn at Florence,
has offered a supportable reason why
tho Legfsluture should make an appropriation
for it. The proposition is
one of muny which has been hatched
by college authorities and others who
nre not interested, even in these trying
times, in keeping down the people's
tuxes. Tor the city papers to
uudortake to compare the necessity
a for the services of a doctor for the
man who 1h ill with the call for a
boll weevil experiment station irn
South Carolina is, poor reasoning, to
say the most that can be said for It.
Admittedly, as its name implies, the
<-uly thing the station at Florence
could do would be to experiment.
Every cotton former in the State already
is experimenting along the
same lines, and is perhaps doing so
tqulte ns intcllingently as the ''experts"
could. The Times would not
like to give bond that if the "experts"
it is proposed to ?employ at
Florence shoud discover a sure cure
?tor tho boll woevil they would take
the public into their confidence, because
it probably would mean an end
of their jobs. The whole scheme is
mere o rlesa a fraud, but such a fraud
as observant people have learned
to exnect The State to be asked
to promote. It would be interesting
to hear The State explain why the
people' aro still being taxed to support,
the cattle tick eradication work
in certain coast counties of South
Carolina after the .federal government
lias lifted the cattle tick Quarantine
from tlio whole State. "The Spartanburg
Herald probably has no information
on the subject.
I
A city paper lays stress upon the
fact that many of the criminals of
this country are foreign born.' The '
same paper might also have, stated
that thousands of the country'? best
citizens were not -born in America.
.There are two vital ckuses which
S ' contribute to the present state or
lawlessness on the part of certain
foreigners resident of this country.
First, our immigration laws are entirely
too lax. Foreigners are admitted
without proper Investigation as to
their characters in their own lands.
Second, upon arrival in. this country
the foreigner, unable to sfeeak our
language, is turned loose upon an indifferent
public to become a good
citixcn or n curse, as his inclination
and past training may lead him
>\liat this country needs Is a system
whereby a foreigner can be taken in
9 hand upon his arrival and converted
into a good citixen. - If we are lax In
' our methods of treating the foreigner
when he first comes to us, we. should
not be surprised If the criminal ele%
ruent of our population gains an ascendancy
over him before has has
familiarised himself with the. benefits
to be derived from good citixenB&g^|ship.

A French Socialist speaking in
Chicago a lew days ago said that
Cjomeueeau was no more representative
of the groat mass of the French
peop^ than Morgap .or Keckefeller is
of the American people. And we suspect
that there is truth in the statement.

The Fort Al.li lanes is pleased to
Uute that tho company in which it
finds itself as an opponent of the
pructice which has grown up in
suiue of the public schools aud collec.eb
of the btate of making the text
uOfks a secondary consideration to a
?\ inning football team has been joined
by Dr. W. M- >Higgs, pre;*.dent of
Ciemson college. Dr.. it'.ggs, speaking
in Qreenvilie a tew dajs ago, said
that "people tlnnk too much of the
caliber of a football team put out by
u school and top little oil its curriculum
or the degree of training for
citizenship it gives young men of the
country." Thoughtful people will not
tiud it hard to accommodate their
$cw to Dr. Rlggs. He is the head
of an in/ntntion in which there are
aoinethine Ilka ? thi.ii>uinfl >vmint
men, ana s.uce that institution takes
a prominent purl In football, surely
Dr. Kiggs is ui position to appraise
the effect too much of the game is
having on the young men under his
charge. Dr. Kiggs did not refer specifically
to football at Clemson, but
one needs exercise little imagination
to divine what was in his mind. Football
at CleniBou, as at other colleges
in South Carolina, is bciug overdone.
Many fathers and mothers do not find
.t an easy matter to keep their sous
ut these iust)t,ntioni); lor their boys
they maka'serious. sacrifices to afford
ihem the opportunity to gain an education.
Not a few of these boys show
their appreciation of the opportunity
set before them by frittering a way
iheir tune chaeing the shadow .of a
.shade that in no circumstances could
be beneficial to them in after life.

because one has a reputation for
-ailing the truth is no indication that
ills truthfulness is in all cases com.i
cndable. Some people with even
ilte test, of intentions do, not know
liqw to curb thefr tongues. They blurt
out the truth upon all occasions, and
particularly at the wrong time. There
are tlmps when the cause of justice
.mU humanity requires the"'suppression
of the truth until the proper
time , cornea to divulge it. A wise
tongue knows when not to wag.

they brought with them five deer as
an offering.
The dawn of the first day of the
feast was heralded by the booming
c.' a. great cannon and later a solemn
procession filed toward the -meeting
houses. Elder Brewster carried the
great Bible and Governor Bradford
followed in the rear. After the service
every -jue sal down to such a dinner
as they bad not tasted tor months
and the feasting lasted for throe
days- Although the first year in New
England had been a bard year for
the colonists, nearly half their num- j
Ler dying under the winter, they felt
they had much to be grateful for.
The year. 1C22 was fraught with
even more, misfortune tor the colonists,
but again they declared and observed
their day of thanks, and continued
to dp so year after year. Later
other colonies besides that at
Plymouth took up the idea and gradually
it became an established custom
thoughout New England-.
Days of thanksgiving for the colonists
were not confined entirely to
the ingathering of the crops, for often
the preservation of a settlement
from attacks by Indians or the passing
of an epidemic of sickness gavo
just cause for. an expression of gratitude.
The custom of a harvest feast
pread to New York and the Sototh
and carried with it .a r-Lgious atmosphere.
During , the Revolutionary war the
people, and the Continental army oh
ovfvvu uu annual mauKcjlvlng day
proclamation of the Continental Congiess,
and in 1789 .George Wa hin.ston,
as first president, proclaimed a
day of rejoloiug for the return of
peace and the establishment of the
government. Until 1815 the presidents
annually called upon the pcpple . to
unite in thanksgiving, and then for
47 years days of national thanksgiving
were unknown. * In April, 186?,
Abraham Lincoln summoned the. people
of the Northern States to, rend or
thanks to God for victories of the
Union army.. Since. then thanksgiving
has been regularly, proclaimed
by the president.
DIcasc Net Out of Politic?.
In a conversation with a reporter
for the Yorkville Enquirer one day
last week while he wa^ in York as
au attqrney appearing in the court of
general sessions In behalf of William
C. Karies, former Governor. Cole L?
blease said that "I am not out of politics
and 1 will be out only when I
am in another world. 1 expect to
tight for the hopeat people of, my
State so Ions as 1 live, and you mgy
mark my prediction that 1924 wfll
see a shaking up in South Carolina
not equaled since 1890. Now watch
that prediction.
"God loves the right and the right
will prevail," the tormer . governor
went on to say. "The few may control
for awhile by such means , as
have been used in South Carolina
since 1912, but the people will yet realise
what is going on and will see
that their rights are being, dellber
uivj diuicu iruui uieiu. i nen mey
will fight as they have never fought
belore.
"1 may be a candidate in 192i and
I may not be. That is for those whom
I have always fought for . and Always
expect to fight for .to decide. It
they say they want me for governor,
then that goes. If they say they
want me for the senate, then that
goes. If they say stay out as a can-g
didate and fight on the side linos,
then there I fight.
-"But the governor and a senator
are to be elected in 1924 and the people
will not be restricted to the. two
who will then be holding these two
paces.
"We are coining in and coming
back 87,000 strong to begin with and,
we may expect many recruits before
the first battle and thousands thereafter.
!
"The year 1924," Governor Bleaao
said in conclusion, "will be a revelation
to tricksters, corporation hirelings,
ballot )wx staffers and lobbyists.
"There will be no compromise.
"On with the dance will be our
battle cry/'
