The Peace Jubilee just ended in At
lanta was grand success, and was
productive of grand and far-reaching
results. The kind and generous words
of President Mckinley shows that he
earnestly desires the advancement of
the South, the obliteration of section
alism and the unity of the people in all
the States in common patriotism.
Thefact that these encouraging words
fall from the lips OF a Republican Pres
ident should, instead of robbing them
of appreciation, instill new hope and
stronger patriotism. 1t amounts to the
holding out of the olive branch by the
representative of that section, whose
sentiments no longer stand in the way
of the advancement Of the South and
makes possible the grandest reunited
nation the world has ever seen.

and nothing would delight me more
than to see him President, he simply

Special Meeting.

A special meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company is called to meet in the Far
mers and Merchants Bank on Thurs
day, January 26th. 1899, at 12o'clock IN,
to consider the propriety OF increasing
the capital stock from Fifty Thousand
Dollars to One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars. 1t is earnestly desired that every
stOckhOlder be present or represented.
No institution OF this kind in this cOun-
try has ever been operated at so small
an expense as this one, our total cleri-
cal expense this year being only four
hundred dollars. Our place OF business
is in the Farmers and Merchants Bank
building, where we are at no expense
for rent. Should the capital be in
creased, the business can be operated
with the same force of help. 1t is ex-
penses that are to be fought, not only
in banks, but in stores, factories and
on farms, otherwise net profits and
dividends are exceedingly small.
By order of the Board of Directors.

Old Father Time is now bringing the
eventful year of 1898 to a close aud we
are upon the threshold OF another
Christmas. How many OF us fully ap-
preciate the significance of Christmas?
How many of us are led by the bright
star of Bethlehem on this hallowed
day into humble places-the manager OF
the poor-exemplifying "Peace on
earth, good will to men," by gladden.
ing the hearts Of the needy with our
Christmas offerings, instead of making
presents to the rich in the hope of get
ting more valuable ones in return. The
true spirit of Christmas giving is to
make glad some heart that feels the
lack of sympathy from crowded, busy
world-some cast-out soul who feels
the need of friendly sympathy and a
kind word spoken on Christmas morn.
That would be Christ-like-that would
be Christmas. Let us not forget the
out-cast who, perhaps long years ago,
hung his or her stocking to the mantle
shelf for Santa Claus to fill with the
good things that would bring joy and
happiness-that was Christmas. 10
fill some heart with pleasure on Christ
mas morning may bring back mem
cries of the past and turn some ones
face from sin and shame to the Star in
the East which guided men wiser than
we are to the humble manger where
was found the Light Of the World.
Then why not, on this sacred morn,
through the means Of some little inno-
cent token Of love, be the Light to lead
some poor friendless soul to Bethle-
hem-that would be Christmas. We
wish all of our friends and patrons a
merry, happy Christmas, and that they
will use the occasion as is betting
that of which it is commemorative.

The Supreme Court of this State has
lust handed down an opinion in the
famous Lowndesville Bank case, which
is of great importance, particularly to
holders of bank stock. After the fail
ure of this Bank, in 1894, the creditors
instituted proceedings seeking to hold
the stockholders Liable for the debts OF
the defunct corporation by virtue Of
the provisions of the Constitution of
1853, and the Acts Of the Legislature
passed pursuant thereto. The credit

the case. The case was heard before
Judge Buchanan at Abbeville, who de-
cided in favor of the creditors. The
defendants appealed to the Supreme
Court, which has affirmed the Circuit
decree, except i'll one respect, to wit {:
They hold that the Circuit Judge erred
in allowing the claim of the Carolina
Savings Bank of Charleston, S. G. !;
that it was entitled to the proceeds of
the Mathews land, for the reason that
it held an equitable mortgage by the
deposit Of the title deeds to said land

The problem of bachelors and spin

itself by modern nations. The most
paternal government has not busted
itself to makeit in any sense q polih-

paper, the Greeks, borrowing an idea
from the classical Spartans. are now
agitating a method Of putting pre-
MUM on marriage in somewhat
unique fashion. Starting with the idea
thata bachelor has no proper stake in
the commonwealth, it is proposed that
celibacy shall be bar to the holding
Of public Office. Get married and give
children to the commonwealth before
you can run for Office. That is the
dictnm in debate. Other nations would
