THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1922
^??????1
At ten o'clock last Saturday, July
1, 400,000 railway employes, chiefly
shopmen, laid down their tools and,
quit work?went on a strike. The
railroads are still in operation and|
will continue to operate. The day of
the striker is past, or should be. '
There has never been anything gained
by labor strikes in the end, and '
it is unreasonable to expect any benefits
from such conduct at this critical
time.

Buy at Home if Possible.
If we permit the big mail order
houses to drive our business men out '
of competition, what will we have j
left? A place of empty store build- (
tags, an undersirable place in which!.
to live. |
If the mail order houses accom-t j
plish their purpose it is possible that .
railroad interests will decide ti er# is (
not sufficient business to warrant the
stopping of - trains here?because 1
will Kq ru'icnnc fnr
vuciv au wv iiv ?*v?, (
traveling men to stay over in our
town, no freight to be delivered to
our stores.
In such cases we will be trying
to sell oar property, but will find no
buyers, or who will think it a good
investment to buy property in a dead
town?
But t:, s is just what we must expect
if v.e keep sending our dollars,
to the mail order houses, for it is
only the business of the town and;
community that makes the town pos- j
sible. I
When we send practically all of
our business to the mail orded houses'
in the cities there will no longer be;
a necessity for, or a reason for, a J'
town here. I
It all resolves itself into the ques-,
tion, "Shall we have a prosperous!
town, with good local business, good i
real estate values, good wages and
good municipal development, or shall
we have a dead town, with pigs rooting
in the principal streets, store
buildings empty and with "for sale"
signs hung up, no lights and no fire
protection.
It all rests with us. We are the
ones to decide.
Common sense and good judgment !
tell us to protect our own interests.
If we don't who will?
What can we expect from the mail
order houses after they shall have
received our money and the local
storekeepers have been put out of
the running? Shall we expect help
and assistance from the mail order
monoply?
We all know that the mail order
houses do not pay r.ny of our local
taxes. They do not support our
schools, or churcnes, or help to pay
for lighting our streets or for our
fire department.
Every dollar spent at home means
added wealth, added prosperity, added
real estate value and added facilities
of all kinds.
Before ordering anything from a ,
mail order house, consult your local ,
merchant. See whether or not they
have what you want.

A Nefro Boy's Heroism.
In another column of The Sun is
printed a short news story from the
upper part of the state. A young
white child was swimming, and went
down. A you^g negro, unable to
swim himself, went into the water, 1
seized the white boy, held him over i
his head until rescuers arrived.
Those who went out to save them i
managed to get the white boy, but
the negro was in deep water, and
drowned before he could be pulled
in. That is interesting in a day of <
lynching.
Heroism is only a matter of doing
the best you can under circumstances.
Caught in a trap it is little bravery
to do the best you can to escape.
Fighting an enemy requires litt'e'
bravery when you have to kill or be
killed. Wading into water, \ hen you
can't swim, to save a drowning boy,
is voluntary bravery. It requires a
willingness to face death for another,
as great a sacrifice as is possible.
A negro like the one mentioned is
worthy of emulation. He is a credit
to his race, and to his country.?

o
I)r. Lowell on Anti-Semitism.
President A. Lawrence Lowell, of
Harvard University, in letters addressed
to Alfred A. Bonesch, Cleveland,
Ohio attorney, makes the remarkable
admission that he finds
there is a strong anti-Semetic feeling
growing in this country. He says
that it is a feeling against tl.e Jews
which in his opinion is not native to
this country, but has been imported
from European countries, where
hatred against the Jews exists.
President Lowell suggests that to
prevent the growth of this feeling the
number of Jews accepted to studentship
in universities be limited.
That a committee of the faculty of
Harvard University is soon to be appointed
to confer with leading Jews
to consider anti-Semetic feeling,
which President Lowell says he detects,
is an important news phrase
in the Lowe'.! Benesch correspondence.
The Same Old Story.
A pretty woman in Dayton, Ohio,
shot and killed an army officer because
he had deceived her. She said
she called him the "perfect lover,"
even though he boasted to her th
fifty women loved him. It's the same
story as old as the world itseii 01
the innocent young woman so madly
in love with the moral leper that
she cannot see his faults. If love
had not been blind the unfortunate
girl could not have trusted the man
who boasted that fifty women loved
him. And probably he belonged to
the kind who are past-masters in the
art of playing false with women and
in his excess of vanity had come to
look upon himself as a super-man.
Tou know them. He got what he deserved,
but it's a pity an innocent
woman had to stain her hands with
:he blood of such a man.?Dillon Herald.

A Pleasant Fourth.
Tuesday was celebrated here by the I
dosing of business houses and a pro- i
gram arranged by the American Legion
which consisted of trap shoot-J
ng matches and two baseball games
at the fair ground and a dance at
the Kingstre'e Hotel that night. The
program of the day was greatly in-.
:erfered with by rain and the afternoon
ball game between Lake City
ind Kingstree which was the chjW
feature of the day, only ran four
Innings. The dance was a success,'
neing reatly enjoyed by those participating.
In the shooting#contest some good!
narksmanship was displayed. There j
svere several present from out of the j
:ounty participating in the sport, but j
ihe honor went to Mr. J. H. Montgomery
of Salters, who broke the
greatest number of clays. The shooting
by Mr. H. D. Plowden, who is
seventy odd years old, was a feature
>f this part of the program. Considering
age there was no one in his
:lass with the gun. As a whole the
lay passed quietly and without a
single accident

On July Fourth America celebrated
her independence. But not now as of
old. No longer with many fires,
numerous deaths, a small army of
children blinded, maimed, and burned.
It is within the memory of us all
when July Fourth meant the burning
of much powder, the shooting
off of guns and firecrackers, the amateur
handling of high explosives. Only
a few years ago and the death toll
and the injured list was a standing
feature in all newspapers on July the
fifth. ?
Today how different! In practi
cally all the larger cities and most *
of the smaller municipalities fire- j
works are under police ban, except |
such as are arranged for as a com- |
munity celebration, when they are ar- ?
ranged and fired by trained experts. |
Gone the small boy's deadly cannon; |
enter the chorus of boys and girls |
singing patriotic songs. Gone the |
deadly rocket that shot into so many j
I lace-curtained windows and burned up I
so many houses; enter the commu- |
nity program in which real rather |
than merely noisy patriotism is in- ?
culcated. |
Washington, D. C., will have a |
chorus of three thousand school chil- I
dren to sing patriotic songs on the ?
steps of the capitol; William Tyler |
Page, author of "America's Creed," |
will read his famous prayer; Charles |
B. Hanford, who really was "with |
i RnrttVi " VI-; 11 verite the "Star-SDangled I
Banner," and the Navy Department |
will broadcast it all to thousands. |
It is American to exult loudly, to |
make a noise, to cheer, to want to f
be heard. But it always was un- |
American to maim and kill little ones |
in an endeavor to show the rest of f
the community how patriotic one could |
be, via a firecracker. |
Lucky the country which needs no
other flame on its independence day |
than the fire of real patriotism!- i
?
There are signs that some legisla- I
tors are getting slightly less afraid jj
of the opinions of a fanatical minori- g
ty. More and more are coming to M
believe that the rapid proposal and |
almost as rapid passage of amend- I
ments to the Constitution are bad in I
principle and worse in practice. The i
encouraging thing about this slow |
change in attitude is that it comes 1
from a careful consideration of the |
alterations so fostered in the body |
politic, and not from personal belief g
or disbeliet in tne aims sougm io
be accomplished by the amendments, i
Thus, there are a number of ardent |
and whole-hearted prohibitionists who |
have come to believe that the eight- |
eenth amendment has done as much, I
if not more, harm in one direction ?
as it has accomplished good in an- |
other. They are beginning to believe, |
many who have been foremonst in sup- ?
port of proposals to change the fun- |
damental law of the land, that it g
would be an error to amend it to m
contain an antichild-labor provision. |
The most enthusiastic supporters of
the American doctrine that little chil
dren should not be exploited for pri- ?
vate gain are coming to believe that .
their emancipation does not lie in
constitutional change but in educa- g
tion and state laws. So, also, with the
proposed "antilynching" amend- 4,
ments. 4

way to get over its recent spasms of
substituting constitutional law for
what should be purely and wholly legislative
law.
