W. B. Smith. The object of To this meeting was to perfect its plans whereby it shall educate the people of Clinton as to the facts in the annual canvass to be made on Sunday, De cember 6th, and as to the facts con cerning the national contest corfnected with this^canvass. * _ Every year a representative is- chosen to represent the United States in Palestine, in active interest of the Near East work. For two years this has been the custom, and both years the representative has been a South Carolinian/' It will be remembered ,that last year,, in which Columbia won, that Clinton, making only a weak, left-handed won second place; and to win firgt place this year, and to get the people of‘Clinton sufficiently interested, was the aim of this meet ing, and is the object of this article. The contest is run on the basis of percentage of the population of the city, the greatest number of contri buting families, regardless of the size of the contribution, winning. This makes it possible for small cities to cope with the larger ones, and names are wanted/’ Let it be remembered that money is wanted, too, for evlTy dollar helps to carry on this God-given work to the innocent children still suffering from the effects of the war. This work will be pressed in The Chrdnicle, from the pulpit, and in all the circles, in order that when the can vass is made on December 6th, the people of Clinton may been become acquainted "with all the facts in the case, and may have seen the need of action on their part. By a contribution, however small, or. the part of the head of every fam ily, Clinton can easily win first place, keep the reputation of South Caro lina, and render untold good to the Near East work. This work is con sidered so important that Governor McLeod is serving on the state com mittee as chairman.

Personal In tegrity and honest work are the essen tial elements of our national welfare,’’ he continued. ^ These laudable and well-expressed aentlmentt so pleased their author that he was reading them the third time when hi« boy Samuel, suroamed the Judge on account of his argnmen- tativenesa, and bis girl Louise made evident the fact of their disputation under the library Window. It appeared that the discussion concerned the ma terial for the approaching feast and that the question was that of turkey or goose, arrangements having been made for the traditional bird, bnt a relative having signified his Intention vjtf bestowing as an alternative the mate of a gander. “Father thinks we couldn’t be thankful for anything but a turkey. I heard him say that it is as much the emblem of the day as the eagle Is of our country. He said that last Thanksgivln’.’’ said the judge. “Well,” replied his sister, “It doesn't make so very much difference to me what it is as long as there is enough of It and plenty of stuffin’, but I think mother ought to settle It, she’s the cook.” “We’ll have a goose anyhow, If you’re there,” rejoined the ruffled Samuel, but he assented to a change of venue and to bringing the case be fore the lady of the house, and the court was adjourned to the kitchen. Mrs. Strut being absent, however., the opinion of Dinah, who was, agi/ fating the varions constituents vffr pumpkin and mince pies, Was desired. With no result from this busy official hut a continuation of the song that she was singing: Grasshopper sluin' on a swltcheator vine, a swltcheator vine, a swltch eator vine, Turkey gobbler conned up behltne and , yanked him off de swltcheator vine, The children were left to the in clusion that turkey had won the suit, until the returning mistress reversed the decision, replying to Samuel’s “But I think turkey is so dear” with fLMI }\mvi .«« Upon the Top of the Machine an ^fberican Flag. the remark “I think It, too.” So that | they all marched to the goose step when the day came round. The result rather worried Mr. Strut, however. Combined with the facts that his address had seemingly failed to enrapture ids audience, and that it had given a rather hollow sound even to himself, and the further fact that his copeealed disappointment over the absence of his favorite bir(| had Induced a fit of indigestion, was an increasing consciousness that he was himself a member of the talkers’ bri gade rather than a soldier in the army of toilers at work upon the founda tions of a better future. Although un- punfftured by age and disability, he was off the road of actual affairs, be ing of that leisure class that, living upon accumulated competence, spends its time in discussion rather than per cussion, out of contact with the hard conditions of the real service of prog ress. Ih the endeavor to walk off his chagrin >nnd dissatisfaction. Mr. Strut came upon a group of Italian laborers and was struck by their hearty and Joyous dealing with the question of so cial progress as they toiled In their road making; and a little later he drew near to another force nt aliens who were at work upon the founda tions of a new building. These last had taken of sand and rocks and ce ment and poured the mass into a con crete mixer, placing npon the top of the machine an American flag. Thest^ concrete illustrations of true Ameri canism so affected the observer that he might have been heard as he tpld himself that there was more prog- iress going on than he was actually concerned in, that sand, cement and pieces,of Plymouth Rock were still go- •Ing inlo the racial material of New America, and that to build American instltationsj under the American flag was also his business. Hi* even said to himself in his sense of usefulness and humiliation that perhaps he, Wm- sejf. had been n Thanksgiving goose. <£. )•!&.
