or has laid upon good citizenship has
been of i~ncalculable influence in the
creation of the new and livelier sense
OF civic obligation which prevails in
this our day. A strong body of
young men have taken up the duties
of citizenship in a quiet, careful.
thorough-going manner that has eff
fected results. Some of these nave

made themselves a force for right

The best patriots are they who serve
their time in most helpful ways.
There is no higher expression Of Cit
lzenShlp than the inculation. in a
Ecighborhood or in q nation of those
great ideals of individual character
and social service which we group un-
der the name of religion. The Can

loyalty to the lag as Wen as to the
Cross by their imperial conception OF

mould the expanding populations in

The new patriot is not a lingo. His

The battles which the twentieth

than those waged on bloody fields.
For he has to go forth against en-

A LIFE FOR THE LAND.
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
EndeavOr Topic For July 4. ''Patri-
Otism That Counts" Neh. 4: s.
1918.
BY William T. Ellis.

All patriotism that is patriotism
counts. If it does not count it is not
patriotism. If the virtue of patriot
ism exists, it reveals it's life by its
fruits. This high and holy passion
one of the three noblest sentiments
implanted in the breast Of man by
his CreatOr-dOeS not always display
labels and badges and flags, or in any
wise nOiSily proclaim its e~xistance:
nevertheless, it is effective in the de-
termination of ideals. in the regulation.
Of conduct, and in the inspiration to
public service. Like the qualities of
honor and temperance and V patrl-
otism effects its first results in the
fbre Of the character.
ANY person who would defraud the
nation by evading custom duties, by
sinking public tasks, by falsely repre-
senting his liza bilities to taxes. or by
rendering less thar full market value
in every transaction with the gov
eminent, must be enrolled somewhere
outside Of the rank of patriots.
In the enjoyment of libertys prizes
men are tempted to shrink liberty, S
pain. For the great rights which this
western world possesses under the law
may be maintained only at the cost
of watchfulness and service. The
peril of self-government is the in
difference of the majority to the OBJ
legations of citizenship. Men VINO
would be among the first to leap TO
the defense Of the land against for
aign invasion view with indifference

Cotton Bagqlng Again.

Concerning the 6 per cent tare
on cotton bagging, it seems that
numerous American cotton mills
kick against allowing as much
tare as foreign buyers permit.
This is a matter which Farmers
Unions in the several States
would do we'll to take up. If
foreign cotton manufacturers
permit 6 per cent tare, or 80
pounds for each 500-pound bale,
our local mills must either allow
as much or else pay a better
price for the cotton.
More bagging on our cotton
would also be an advantage to
the whole cotton industry for
the better protection afforded
the staple and the better ap-
pearance of the bales. Local
mills should agree to the 6 per
cent tare and have one uniform
arrangement. -Raliegh (N. C)

The MARION COUNTY DISPUTE.
The Rdmby.Beaty Survey Confirmed
by Prof C0lC0Ck.

Prof F II Colcock, who was
appointed by Governor Ansel
to test the lines of the proposed
county of Dillon to ascertain
if the area contained in the pro-
posed county fulfilled the con-
stitutional requirement. has
submitted his report to the
Governor. The constitutional
requirement is 500 miles in the
old county and 400 in the new,
and Prof Colcock practically
concurs with the survey Of
Handy s. Beatty, stating that
his measurements result in
showing sol miles left in the
old territory and 404 miles in
the Dillon area. The test sur
vey was made at the request of
one of the commissioners.
Now that the question of area
is settled the election on the
question of the formation Of
Dillon county will doubtless
soon be submitted to the voters
in the affected area.

Newspapers come in for lot
of "cussing" for faults of omis-
sion as well as commission, but
We can bear testimony that it is
not always merited. Al least
three people, we dare say, are
charging The Record with the first
mentioned sin this very week,
when the fact is, we would have
to be a mind reader to comply
with their requests. A few days
ago We were asked to sen d
the paper to a certain postoftice
and the writer would remit
promptly on fulillment of his re-
quest. That would have been all
right, only unfortunately our friend
used a typewriter and forgot to
sign his name, or thought we
should know it because a lot of
other folks did. The other two
instances referred to are commu-
nications intended for publication,
but with no clue to the sender
except a fictitious name, which is
really none at all. Should the
persons who didn't get what they
asked for chance to see this we
hope they will at least acquit US
of intentional discourtesy.
