“GOLDEN RULE”
SUPPER SERVED
[tit-’'
Local Committee Moots To Perfect Its
Plans For Annual Can vase To Re ,
Made on December 6th.
• • .* ■
Under the direction of Miss Epps,
the local committee of the Near East
Relief met at a Golden Rule’ supper
on Monday afternoon at the home of'
Q. 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. Don’t be back
ward when ^ie representatives ap
proach you. ,

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

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

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

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.
