Painting q Town Red.

The town of Monck's Corner over in
Berkeley was recently painted red by a
man named Jolly in true Western style.
The following account Of the little
frolic was taken from the Berkeley Free
Presg: "W. T. jolly was arrested for
disorderly conduct, and using profane
language. After some difficulty he
was locked up. He was released on a
deposit of SO, for his appearance be-
fore the Intendant, the same being put
up by friend. He was arraigned before
the Intendant on Tuesday, but refused
to plead to the charge until the amount
deposited for his appearance was turned
over to him. The Intendant stated
that he (the Intendant) was responsible
to the party who had put up the money
and therefore could not deliver it to
Jolly. Mr.. Jolly thereupon refused to
be tried and walked out Of the Court
room. When the Marshal attempted to
arrest him he drew gun and dehed the
Marshal or anyone else to approach
him. The Intendant then swore out
warrent before Magistrate Lindsay:
who arrested Jolly and placed him un-
der bond for trial next Wednesday
for resisting arrest. Mr. Jolly then
took possession Of the town until a
late hour in the night, denying and
defyipg the authority of the town, and
judging from the frequent and heavy
discharges from his guu, one would
have imagined that the town was un-
dergoipg bombardment from'a fleet
of war vessels.

Christmas Presents for the Poor.

In your Christmas purchasing do not
be tempted to forget those who, be-
cause Of their poverty, are unable to do
any shopping either for themselves, or
for others. Let your presents to them
be of substantial character-a ton Of
coal, some warm clothing, some money,
box of groceries, or basket Of
Christmas marketing, topped with a
bunch of holly. And to the little chill
dred in whose homes Christmas is little
more than name, send sumo Of the
many bright new tin toys which are SO
inexpensive; some candy, some fruit:
bright red wooden mittens and Tam O
Shanters, and if you can afford it, some
good stout shoes and warm stockings.
4 piece Of bright,colored plaid will
make pretty gift for the little girl
who has never, perhaps, had a new
dress in her life. Accompany your
Christmas presents with some CHEEKY
Christmas gTcetings and some Christ
mas greens. Re Very eure thtt this
thoug ghtfulness will bring its rewapd,
and that in the years to come the mem
ory Of the Christmas when you gave
most and received least will be the hap
piest Of all memories to you.

Times Have Been Worse.

It would be hard to make any one to-
day believe that cotton has ever been
lower, and times harder than they are
now-but sucn is the case. Fifty years
or more ago, cotton was not only lower,
but the prices Of goods we're great deal
higher. If you doubt the above read
the following from the Sumter Herald:
Through the kindness of a gentleman
living in this county We can here repro
duce the items Of bill, which it vii!
be interesting to study.
Two bales of cotton were sold by
estate VIM. H. PEBBLES to H. Levy on
Dec. II, 1914, the bales weighing 3O3
and 2S3 lbs. respectively. The price
paid was 81 cents per pound, the whole
amount being sl9.94. Goods were
bought from the merchant as follows:
l sack salt, - 90; 20 lbs. sugar. 81. 20;
4 wool hats, $3.a0; 2 gals: !. Q. mo-
lases, 80 cts, and other items in pro-
portion. It will be seen by this,
that when compared with BY gone days
we are not so badly off after all-things
might be and have been wore, and yet
the people survived.

The Colored College.

A meeting Of subcommittee of
the colored college which is located
in this city was held in Columbia Fri
day night. President Miller submitted
his report, which makes splendid
showing for the institution. The re
post shows that there 511 students in
attendance, Of both sexes. The report
divides them up as to religious persua-
sion, which shows that the Methodists
come first with over 200; then follows
the Raptists and Presbyterians and
other denominations, but none have
such representation as the Methodists
and Baptists. There is one Catholic
and two Episcopalians. By states there
Is student from New York and three
or four from North Carolina and Geol.
gia. President Miller goes into details
as to what has been accomplished in
improving buildings, and suggests an
appropriation to heat the buildings by
steam, instead of stoyes which are
constant source Of danger. One steam
heater Of ordinary capacity can heat all
the buildings and its establishment
will materially decrease the insurance
rates. He estimates that the college
wiA need SEQ, 900 to properly run it the
next year aad asks for an appropriation
to that amount. This amount viii in.
clude what comes from the Hssch and
Scrip fund, which goes to the college
and the appropriations from the state
treasury will pos necessarily be larger
than that heretofore made The report
shows that splendid work has been done
in the various industrial departments,
and the president says that students
not only take a grea, interest in this
paFt Of the work, but are anxious and
willing to learn. The students are pre-
pared to be able in life to have some
useful occupation by which they can
make an honorable living. President
Miller has accomplished great things in
his management Of this college, and
the eolored youth Of the State are for
tunate in having access to such an in
stitution with such competent man at
the head of it.

We Had No Traitors.

The Atlanta Journal goes for the
play entitled the Heart of Maryland, -
which has just been produced in that
city by very poor company. This play
is based on the Confederat" war and is
what may be termed war play. The
Journal says it is false in its history
and has not bright line in it. In it
We see Confederate coionel and a
southern youth of noble birth acting as
traitors to the Confederate cause. No
such characters ever existed The
Confederacy had no Benedict Arnold
and no decent southern boy ever be-
trayed cause for which his kinsmen
were fighting and bis mother and sister
suffering. The few men in the south
worthy to be called men who could not
approve secession enlisted in the Union
army; they did not wear the glorious
gray and sneak to the enemy with in
formation as to the plans and move
ments Of their comrades nor did the
black bar Of treason ever rest on the
brow Of a southern boy. Another alb
surd thing in The Heart of Maryland"
is the holding up Of Joe Hooker as a
terror to the Confederate army The
