SOCIEzT1 I.

Christmas is here!" shout the chil-
 dren, with joy unmingled with care.
 christmas is here!" exclaim the
 youths and maidens, with feelings of
 pleasure considerably chastened by the
 sense of the many obligations by which they feel burdened. Christmas
 is herei" say the mothers. with out ward cheerfulness and an inward sink ing sense of all it must necessarily in- volve. while the fathers groan in spirit
 as they reflect upon the cost of the many expensive presents and the vari- GUS festivities of the season, which have drawn upon their resources in every direction.
 It is a great pity that this un- der current of care and worry should have become an unfailing cOncomitant Of the season which ought to be so blessed, and that the true spirit of Christmas, the peace, the kindness and the loving goodwill of the heaven-sent message, cannot apparently be adapted to our modern soccial conditions.
 That the present system of giving is a species of barter or extortion goes without saying, and that We are in dan ger of perverting a great good into positive evil is obvious. It is only nee cssary to study the countenances of the crowds of care-worn, harassed-looking women shoppers in the streets just now to see that peace" is certainly not with them. To those who buy and to those who pay the season is certainly Q trying one, and until simple require ments and less mercenary spirit pre- vail we cannot keep Christmas as it should be kept-as period of unmixed good to young and old alike.
 In spite of our grumbling over the shortcomings Of the age we live in, who does not experience at Christmas time some thrill of sympathy with human kind, and feeling of pure pleasure at the sight of others joy? How many little children there are to whom tin cart or "a cheap doll is as welcome as is the costly gift to others surfeited with possessionsl Then there are the feasts given to the poor, the churches, with their spicy smelling evergreen adornings, the glad peal of the bells, the cheerful faces, the pleasant greet ings, the family reuniOns-irdeed, all the real sentiment of the time which has not been spoiled, and which each year renews our sense of goodwill to men,
 A favorite writer, in one of his witty essays, in answer to the statement of a literary friend that so many things have Of late been written and printed about Christmas that nothing remain ed to be said on the subject, accuses him of little faith, and asks if every thing has been said that could be said about any one Christmas.
 The query was made as to whether all has been said that could be said about beef, about plum pudding, about mince pie, and so on; a long string of sixty or seventy questions, in which every known Christmas accessory and pastime are mentioned. even to about eating too much, and, finally, about the doctor; the assertion was made that | not half enough has been written about 1 any one of these subjects. All of them i may belong properly to the season, and | one can read of them every year with | interest as we celebrate the | of One whom the old poet |

CALIFORNIA SILVER MEN.

The California Silver Republicans
held their State Convention at Los
Angeles last week. 1t was an entiiusl-
astic gathering Of men who declared
that the Republican party abandoned
its principles when it sold out 20 the
gold syndicate and became the per
sonal property of Mark \. Hanna, the
great dispenser of Doodle and patron
age. There were 355 delegates IN at
tendance at the convention, among
whom were many who had been
prominent in Republican councils up
to the time the patty was sold out at
St. Louis. chairman Dixon of Sac
,amento in addressing the convention
said the gold Republicans had left
the party for pelf and plumber.
The convention adopted the hnar-
cial plank of the California RePubii-
can Convention Of 1896, which de-
clared for the free coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of I6 to I, proving
that the gold Republicans had aban-
doned principle and left the party and
that the Silver Republicans were the
true Republicans Of California. The
convention unanimously nominated
James G.. Mcguire for Governor OF
California, and the gentleman was
escorted to the hall and addressed the
convention at length. Judge Ma.
guire is now the nominee of th'
Peoples Party, the Democratic party
and the Silver Republican party o
California, and is opposed by the Re
publicans and "Middle of the Roa5'
Populists, and all the corporations IL
the State.

Detention House Butt at Coanty Home
NO osma.l7pox but All Suspects I'm
der Guard. .g

Last week there was some excite
ment In the Dead Fall section OF the
county caused by tho presence OF two
students who had come home from the
negro college at ,Orangeburg. Gov.
Ellerbe was telegraphed in regard to
the cases, and it happened that on that
day he had a consultation with tho State
board OF health. So on his order the
State board Of health issued an order
to Dr.. J. M. Kibler, chairman OF the
board Of health Of the town OF New
berry, constituting tho town board q
board OF health for the county with
power to quarantine any part of the
county.
Then a consultation was held with
the county supervisor and it was de-
cided to build detention house on the
land Of the county home and have all
suspects and those who had been in any
way exposed to smallpox put in this
house and strictly guarded. The house
has been built and the two students
from No. 8 removed to it. It was said
that there ,s another student in the
Whitmire section and he was sent after
also. None OF them as yet have broken
out with the smallpox or had any fever
and they may not but our board of
health, mayor and supervisor are to be
commended for their prompC action in
the premises. That is the only way to
stamp out the disease and stop its
spread.
The following is copy OF the order
from the State Board:
