Pleasant Valleys Picnic.

Editor The Times: Pleasant
Valleys big annual picnic will
be held this year on August 81,
Friday of this week.
Pleasant Valley has had ten
farmers Institutes during the
last twelve years. This year.
owing to the decrease in the
fertilizer tag tax, Clemson is not
holding many Institutes, and this
picnic will take the place of our
annual farmers institute. We
will have this year prohibition
rally, and in addition to an
address by Mr.. John T. Green,
of Lancaster, we will probably
have addresses by DR.. Snyder
of Wofford College and DIR.
George B. Cromer, of Newberry.
Lieutenant Governor Bethea has
also been invited to deliver an
address.
There will probably be other
speakers in addition to those
named above, and the prospects
are for good speeches, a good
crowd and better dinner.
Everybody is cordially invited
to bring a well-filled basket.

The Columbia boosters" who
were scheduled to visit Rock Hill
today in behalf of a trade cam
paien they are promoting for the
business interests of the capital
city are long on gasoline to say
the least. They seem to have it
to burn. The Rock Hill people
doubtless were glad to get ac-
quainted with the Columbia folk
and it goes without saying that
they were cordially received and
courteously treated in the good
town." but that is far from say
ing that any considerable amount
of trade will be diverted from
Rock Hills own business houses
to those of Columbia. The truth
is that Rock Hill people do not
nave to go away from home to
have their every day wants
filled-and those are the most
important wants and the ones
which count for most in dollars
and cents after all. Except the
fact that Columbia is larger in
population than Rock Hill, there
is little more to be said as to the
difference between the towns.

The English.

In Dickens "A Child's His
tory of England" written per-
haps three-fourths of a century
ago. there is a paragraph of
peculiar interest. The English
character of Dickens time has
undergone little if any change
to the present day. What the
great novelist and historian said
of his fellow-countryman of the
10th century can be said of him
with equal truth in the Goth CEN
tury. We quote:
1t (the English-Saxon) has been the
greatest character among the nations
of the earth. Wherever the descend
ants of the Saxon race have gone,
have sailed, or otherwise have made
their way, even to the remotest re-
.gions of the world, they have been
patient, persevering, never TO be broken
in spirit, never to be turned aside from
enterprises on which they have re-
solved. In Europe, Asia, Africa,
America, the whole world over; in the
desert, in the forest, on the sea;
scorched by a burning sun, or frozen
by ice that never melts-the Saxon
blood remains unchanged. Whereso-
ever the race goes, there law and in
dustry and safety for life and property
and all the great results of steady per-
severance are certain to arise.
Now and then one hears some
person possessed or more knavery
than knowledge remark that the
English are doing little to pro-
mote the cause of the allies in
the great war in which nearly
all of Europe is engaged. The
losses of the English, running
into the hundreds of thousands,
belle the statement. Day by day
the English are slowly but none
the less certainly doing their
part to overcome the Germans
on the battle lines in Flanders
and Belgium. In the great drive
of the TeutOns on Paris last Sep
tember, did not the mere hand
full of King Georges soldiers
intercept and do even more than
seemed possible for SO few to do
TO halt the apparently irresistible
rush of the Germanic armies and
drive them back beaten and
broken over the road they had
SO lately victoriously traversed?
Who, prithec, is bearing the
brunt of the allies campaign in
the Dardanelles? Who has swept
the high seas clean OF German
battleships and German COM
merce? Who, by and large. is
furnishing the money TO prose-
C tie this war? These questions
answer themselves.
But what we started out to
say is TINS: III there is any ra-
cial pride most South Carolinians
feel, or should feel, it is in the
fact that their veins run the
same blood that has made the
English people the torch-bearers
of civilization, the one race that
never has been more than mo-
mentarily beaten; in our veins
is the same blood that is being
so freely spilled on the battle
fields of Europe that the God
given right of man to participate
In his own worldly destiny shall
not forever perish from the face
of the old world. The Germans
conquer the English? Never!

them a mirror, which upon being

the trick is done. The witch writes
the fortune upon the mirror with

a handkerchief so no trace of the
writing a be seen. When the mir

makes this writing reappear.
