Another Christmas has come and gone,
and We are proud that we can chronicle
the fact that this community has had no
serious or sad accidents, and very little dis
orderly conduct to mar our pleasure.
We have had nothing but one ceaseless
round of fun and froic, consisting of a
few dances, sociables and various other
amusements, such as turkey dinners,
pound parties and snowballing. Visitors
we have had, too, in goodly numbers,
who are too numerous to mention names,
so we will just say they came from Abbe'
Vile to Oconee, and from Greenville to
Georgia. And proud, indeed, were we to
have them with US, and of course we did
our best to entertain them, and will well
come them back whenever they may find
it convenient to come.
Doc says he certainly did have nice
Christmas, and no telling what he would
have done if his new horse had not got
scared Christmas Eve and broke his
buggy shafts. But anyway we think he
did very we'll from the way he talked
about eating "pie'' when he came back
from-well, we won't say where, for the
girl with that red dress may see this.
One of our boys that is sweet on Mo-

Lebanon Items,

Christmas has come and gone and no.
body the worse by it We hope. Ofcourse,
on all such occasions everybody has
Jolly time. This celebration should be Of
more solemn nature than is usually
given by the people-that is the majority.
Instead of celebrating this occasion with
praises to God continually we must re-
sort to something more worldly and fool
ish just for little pleasure. See how
much it costs to celebrate Christmas In
the way and style with which it was cele-
brated this time The money that was
thrown away on ammunition and all
kinds of fireworks in this State would
amount to enough to home number of
poor little orphans who are not fortunate
enough to enjoy the blessings of plenty.
Aud again, some of US have eaten large
amount of one nic-nac and another which
could and ought to haye been avoided.
We do not mean to convey the idea that
all this is nonsense, but just simply un-
necessary extravaganza, when it could be
put to a better use, and perhaps bring
great deal more joy in the "long rum"
Must our unnatural e1travagant nature
consume so much when there are t.. ..ose
who do need help? God forbid. Deliver
that avishing nature from us and give us
hearts to do the works of a kind and mer-
ciful Master. A new year has set in, and
a. IL 1oof nf life
seems to me that the Lord has purpose
for every creature, and that it'is our duty
to find out what it is and then to submit
ourselves to His will. We all certainly
have great deal to be thankful for.
Owing to the unfavorable weather and
perhaps the holidays, or holinights
rather-'.shindigs"-tbe Sabbath school
was quite diminished, but as this is the
beginning of new year we might set in
with renewed energy and enlarge our
school.

Let Us Have Prohibition.

MEssns. EDITORS: The time is not far
distant when suppose an effort will be
made to establish "Dispensary" for
Anderson County. I write to urge the
people to refuse to sign any applications,
and thus we may secure prohibition,
after all. No friend Of the cause of pro-
hibition should sign such petitions, and
no friend of the old-line liquor traffic
should. Some may say better have Dis
pensary than "blind tigers" but would
not the Dispensary aid the "blind tiger"
cause?
If there is no Dispensary when per-
son is seen under the Influence Of liquor
the question will be, "Where did he gel
it?" But with Dispensary every one
will suppose it came from the Dispen-
sary, and hence will not be on the look
out for "blind tigers"
Don't sign the applications, and may
be we can get what we voted for
PROHIBITION,

A Large Cotton Fire.

Ono OF the largest cotton fires, and per-
haps the largest, Anderson has ever had
took place last Thursday evening. The
fire was discovered and the alarm given
a little before o'clock. The watchman
discovered it when it was small and
attempted to smother it with his coats,
but fire in lot of cotton where there are
1000 or 5000 bales, with high wind
blowing almost gale, is most difficult to
put out even before it has made much
headway.
The cotton that burned was on the
large platform belonging to the city and
which is near DR.. Nsrdin's residence.
The fire caught about Is yards from the
end of the platform nearest the square,
and the wind was blowing almost directly
toward the other end. In Just few
minutes after the fire began the wind had
swept flames and sparks over the lower
section Of the cotton and soon 1900 or
1900 bales were burning wildly and
fiercely.
The fire companies and citizens hurried
to the place at the first alarm and sue
ceeded in rolling off and saving hundreds
of bales at each end of the platform, but
the great hest and smoke soon beat them
back and nothing could be done save the
effort to subdue the immense confagra-
tion by throwing streams of water on it
and thereby prevent it from spreading.
The high wind hurled the flames and
sparks in sheets and showers hundreds
of feet, and for time DR.. Nardin's
dwelling was in imminent danger of
catching. Some of the oak trees around
his house caught from the myriad Of
sparks that fell on them and made moro
work for the firemen. None of the build
tngs in the Doctors yard burned, though
slight yeeriug of the wind would almost
surely have meant their destruction.
The fremen worked splendidly and
amidst great dangers. They withstood
heat and smoke and the bitter cold to do
their duty, and they fought like men,
white and colored alike. Thel deserve
and have received unbounded praise for

Alderman Browulee's Mascot.

Friday night was cold and clear, with
the sir crisp enough and the moonbeams
bright enough to make every one who
happened to be out feel active and cheerful.
The noise and hustle of dsy had been sue
ceeded h. the stiffness and quiet of night,
and peace and good will seemed to reign
supreme over Anderson.
Bang!
Suddenly the sharp report of pistol
was indistinctly heard, and then all was
quiet again.
Passersby stopped and silently and en-
qniringly gazed In each others faces.
What meant that shot? Has blood been
shed2 Where was it? They stopped
only for minute, and, burrying on, per-
haps dismissed the subject with the
thought that If murder had been done, or
by accident blood had been shed, they
would hear of it on the morrow, or after
listening for time they began to wonder
If they had really heard shot, as the
night then seemed more peaceful and
quiet than before.
But the shot bad been fred, end how
nearly the speeding ball came of claiming
victim made the faces Of those present
blanche TO the color of the plasterod wall,
and temporarily bereft them of speech.
Afser the meeting Of the City Council
had adjourned, the members had gath
cred around the table In the Council
Chamber to examine soma pistols the po-
lice had captured from ths law breakers.
They were of cheap and worthless kind,
and as dangerous ut one end as the other.
By request, Chief Rose was on the point
oflsyins one Of the weapons on the table
for inspection when it fred just in the
midst of the spectators. The ball went
through the overeoat and coat Of. Alder
man Brownlee, who was on the opposite
side of the table, and struck bis watch
chain cutting it in two. The Alderman
was considerably shocked by the impact,
and every man present was thoroughly
alarmed until it was ascertained that no
serious harm had been dene.
The ball was number 3S, and it fell at
Mr.. Brownlee's feet. considerably mutt.
lated by contact with the chain.
| No blame for carelessne.s was attached
to Chief Rose, who is particularly careful
in handling firearms. The accident can
only be accounted for on the ground that
the cheap weapon had been left cooked, or
uas at half cock, and that the hammer
went down because of a jar or unconscious
pressure from the Chiefs thumb or hand.
Mr.. Brownlees chain proved more USE
full To him as life preserver than as
watch guard that time, and he will keep
the ball and chain as zementoes of the
thrilling accident. His chain proved To
be veritable mascot, and is not for sale.
