JUDGE X. C., Watts,

Some days ago our people were pleas
ed with n visit from this popular iu-
rist, who always receives Il warm wei
come from his old friends and former
companions. Probably no Judge on
the Bench has been more attentive to
his duties or more wise and Just in his
rulings than has Judge Watts, and we
believe the General Assembly will al
most universally endorse Judge Watts
at the present session, and in so doing
reflect the will of the people generally.
Comparatively a stranger to some of
our people in Il few sections of the
State when first elected to the Bench,
Judge Watts is by no means a stranger
to the public now, and no man is more
generally esteemed, not only for his
judicial wisdom and learning, but for
his ~congeniality and convivial nature,
also. The honOred representatives of
the people of the State made no mistake
when they honored Judge Watts by
placing him on the Bench, and he in
turn has hOnOred South Carolina. We
cannot conceive of a quality more en-
titled to endorsement than that of du-
ty ably and conscientiously performed,
which to-day stands to the credit of
Judge Watts. Now let the General
Assembly honor themselves by honor
ing a worthy son of a worthy State

Beasts and Birds Have a Prominent Place
In Christmas Lore.
The story of the hunting of the wren
In the isle Of Man every Christmas is
we'll known. She is known as Our La
dy's hon, Gods chicken, Christ's bird,
because she was present at Christ's
birth, brought moss and feathers to
cover the Holy Babc and made a nest in
his cradle.
In France the cuckoo was believed to
have flown from n Christmas log.
A Latin poem of the middle e c tells
that the crossbill matches her oggs at
Christmas and her young birds fly off in
their full plumago ut Easter.
The MOhammedans havo many leg
ends of lisa, or Jesus. One tells that
when he was z years old he and his
companions made birds and beasts of
clay, and lisa proved his superiority by
making his fly and walk as he com
mandcd.
In the Tyrol they say tho ravens used
to have snow white plumagc, but one
day Jesus wanted to drink at Il stream,
and they splashcd and SO bcfoulcd the
water that ho could not, so he said,
"Ungrateful birds, you are proud of
your 10y white feathers, but they
shall become black and remain SO until
the judgment day"
A Russian legend tells that the horse
flesh is considered u~nclean because when
Christ lay in his Manager the horse ate
the hay from under his bed, but the OK
would not and brought back on his
horns to replace what the horse ate.
The Britons believe that tho OK and
the ass talk together between II and 10
O'Clock every Christmas eve.
In Germany the cattle kneel in their
stalls at that hour. Another version
says they stand up.
The ass and tho cow are sacred DO.
cause they breathed upon the Holy Bale
In his stall.
The ass Is the most sure footed Of ami.
mails because he carried the holy fami-
ly to Egypt by night. He has had q
GROSS Oh his back ever since.
Old women used to sprinkle holy wa.
ter ON the ass and the COW to drive away
disease.
Bees are said to buzz in their hives
at the exact hour of our Saviour's birth.
In north Germany tho version Of the
man In the moon is thus told. One
christmas eve q peasant greatly desired
cabbage, but as he had none in his own
garden no stole from his neighbor.
Just as no filled his basket the Christ
Child rode by IN his white horse and

A good many oats have been
sown since the new year, while some
have finished putting in their
wheat. There has been more wheat
sown here this time than in 25
years before. We have concluded
that 1T is better to grow wheat
than to grow cotton at 5 cents and
less per pound, to buy flour at
$500 and $3.50 per barrel.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

A great many Of The ADVERTISERS
subscribers are in arrears, many more
than usual. 1t is impossible for the pa
per to get along unless its subscribers
pay.
During the year we have endeavored
to give you the worth of your money.
Your county paper publishes news that
you can get in no other paper. The
big weekly editions Of daily papers
published in Atlanta and other cities
that you get for a low piIce make you
think that the price Of your county pa
per is high. But these big weeklies do
not tell you who is on the jury in Lau-
rens. They do not toll you who of your
friends are married nj who are dead.
You cannot call upon them to publish
the rolls OF honor in your schools and
the announcements OF your picnics and
club meetings. Even the advertise
ments In your county paper are valua-
Bile to you-they contain information
which every man in Laurens county
frequently needs. This year is cleo
tiOn year and YOU will need O county
paper more than usual.
A county paper cannot have q large
circulation like the paper that the
dailies publish and the dailies can pub
lish weekly editions much cheaper
than we can of course.
we nave peen lndulgent-too much
so for our good. We a Indulge no
longer. On the first day of March we
expect to stop sending the paper to
those who have shown no disposition
to pay anything this fall. Between
now and then, the sooner the better,
we ask payment from all in arrears
Ii you can't pay all, and will pay q
part, you will find us ready to meet
you half way and to continue sending
the paper.
One dollar for those who pay in ad-
vance. One dollar and a half strictly
to those who do not pay in advance.
