Belton Items.

Some of the very best talent IN Bel
ton have organized dramatic club,
and have for several weeks been con-
stantly rehcarsing for the purpose of
giving the very popular play, "The
Moonshiner's Daughter" to the public
on Monday evening, 25th inst. Bolton
talent has often delighted large audi
ences with entertainments OF this kind,
but the management of this play con-
templates giving the very best play on
this date that local talent is capable of
giving, and we believe there will be no
disappointment, judging by the ear
nestness and devotion they are giving
to preparation:
Mr.. J. X. Breazealc is building a
handsome and comm0dious residence
in his beautiful grove, just across the
railroad from the mill.
Nearly all the mill cottages and over
seers' houses are complete, and Mr..
Grandy and his associate contractors
have moved away. =. :,
Mr.. Tom Pruitt, of Craytonville, will
soon move into the residence recently
occupied by Mr.. }. f. Hoffman, near
the academy building. Mr.. Hoffman is
occupying for the present one OF Mr..
w. a. Willingham's cottages:
Mr.. and Mrs. Todd, of Due West, are
visiting their daughter, Mrs. Haynie:
Mrs. P. A. McDavid, OF Greenvillc,
visited at the hotel last week.

The resolution Of Representative
Sulzer, of New York, in the House last
week asking for recognition Of the
Transvaal Republic is an effort in a
righteous cause. Unfortunately, how
ever, for the life of the resolution Mr..
Sulzer is Democrat and the position
he seeks to have the country assume is
on neutral basis, while the Republi-
cans, who are fairly itching for an
American-English alliance, prefer
their old policy of might against right.
They see the inconsistency of recog-
nizing the belligerent rights Of one free
people while their administration is
denying the same rights as belonging
to another equally free people, people
whose independence they have recog-
nized by alliances offensive and defen-
sive, as well as formal recognition of
their flag. The Transvaal patriots, in
their brilliant victories, have Am erica's
best wishes for success, but SO long as
we ourselves are engaged in highway
robbery, we naturallyfe feel a slight deli
cy in openly condemning the methods
employed by other highwaymen.

If anything more is needed to con-
vince the country of the dishonesty
and rascality Of the Republican party,
let those not satisfied read the treaty
with the old Sultan of Sulu, in which it
is made to appear that we are paying
the Sultan and his datos handsome
salaries and stipulate that the salaries
are payable in Mexican dollars. In
other words, we arc paying them only
half of the amounts promised, which
even can not be justified, but when q
Nation OF great Christian pretensions
practices deception on a weaker coun-
try whom it is trying to civilize, its
hypocricy will react upon it and civili-
zation receive a serious set back.

CO.. Bryan has provoked much un-
favorable criticism by his recent alleg-
ed recommendation of Senator Allen,
Populist; for appointment to the vacant
Senatorship Of Nebraska over Demo
crat. There seems to besome good lit
tie politics in the appointment, as it is
said that Colonel Bryan, failing to get
the presidency, will himself oppose
Senator Thurston, the sitting Demo
cratic Senator from Nebraska, for cleo
ton when his term expires. This will
divide the Scholarships between the
two parties to Nebraska fusion, while
if Hitchcock, the Democratic aspirant,
had secured the appointm ent this time,
the COlonels chances w0ul0 be exceed
ingly slim to succeed Thurstcn, a Pop
ulist being in order then. flour mem
ory serves us correctly, this is not the
first time Col. Billy has been accused
Of Populistic leanings when Democra-
cy was at stake.

1t has been authoritativcly announc-
ell that Hon. Joseph w. Barnwell, the
present State Senator from Charleston,
has consented to enter the race for
Congress from the First District. Mr.
Barnwell is an accomplished gentle
man, an able and successful lawyer,
and thoroughly upright and consclen-
tious citizen and politician. Judging
from the general appreciation OF MIR.
Barnwelrs character and abilities by
the State at large, we freely predict
his success in the coming race, and we
go further and say when he takes his
seat in Congress he will soon become a
power. and the whole State will feel
his influence.

The year just closing may well be
termed a black year for heroes. Hob
son had to be deported, Dewey lost
his grip, Sampson demonstrated that
he was but a baby mewling and puking
in the arms of it's nurse, the Navy De-
partment, poor Bill Anthony, the hero
Of the battleship "Maine," ended his
own existence, and gallant Tom Brum-
.by, iDewey's flag Lieutenant, died Sun
day in Washington. In the meanwhile
our own Joe Wheeler, Fitzhugh Lee
and Schley stand out prominently in
the motley constellation, each one in
his sphere bright morning star. j.

Christmas, the natal day OF Chris
tianity, is once more upon us. The
bird of dawn sings all night long, the
witch's charm has lost its power, the
quickened heart beat gives the glow OF
youth, and merry voices make glad the
sharp, crisp air. Pop-crackers, baby
walkers and footing horns are balm for
the unstrung nerves, and the beating
din and discord accompanied by peals
of youthful laughter are music all,
,sweeter than the enhancing strains of
the angel Israel. Deafness, ear-spht-
ting detonations of ordinary seasons
are at this enchanted season weird but
melodious and rymthinic symphony.
Now it is that there is ''Peace on earth
and good will to men," Old scores are
forgotten and the leaping, lurid glare
of the cherry yule log plants smiles on
the cynic's austere face and earth, for
the season, is loosed in ecstacy to make
gay with the music of the spheres. The
Gordian knot is slipped in the miser's
purse strings and from the opening
flows yellow tide which at its ebb
bears on its bosom precious cargoes OF
mnttered blessings and plans of praise.
We are celebrating the birth OF Christ
and the redemption Of the world.
Philanthropy and benefcent work are
practiced and thrive like tree by many
waters, but false philanthropy, cloaked
in the garb OF modern good cheer, too
often mars the sanctity and the real de-
light of the occasion by profane and
bestial desecration of sacred feast
hallowed by the od-bought souls OF
two thousand years redemption. Sad,
sad it is that thoughtful men will them
selves spend this joyous season in
drunken reyelry; sadder, though, that
they take this opportunity for almsglv-
ing by placing the cup to their broth
er's lips! Would not crumb Of bread
suffice to secure a benediction and
golden benson where a draught but
fastens milestone around two sinking
souls, and damns instead of redeems?
The season means much to THE INTEL
L1GENCER's readers. Some there are
who are gay and joyous and scatter
sunshine wherever they go; some, alas,
whose hearts are troubled "for there's
a vacant chair, lock Of silver hairand
loved one is sleeping there" Some
there are, perhaps, who will now listen
to Christmas chimes for the last time
on earth, for the tolling and the peal
ing and the Ginning make up the
weary round Of years. Some there
may be whose barks will go out of the
line of their wonted course and be lost
in the great surging sea Of humanity.
Others, and let us hope they are not
few, who are engaged in making beau
tiful years, mark this another milestone
along life's way in cheering worried
hearts, soothing sorrows heaving
breast and supporting weak and totter-
ing age. To ali our readers we wish a
sweet and merry Christmas and many
happy returns of that festive season.
May your pleasures be real pleasures
unselfish, wholesome and unending in
bearing fruit,-so that the season be
not misnomer, but in deed and in
fact q yeritable Christmas.

There seems to lie no better pulse to

the amount Of its trade. This years
business indicates that there has beeI
an immense production as the result OF

productions. Such are conditions ne
cessary to what we call prosperity.

It is now fully realized bythe British
government that the wiping out OF the
Boer republic is no picnic, but an un-
dertaking that will cost much money
and many lives. 1t will, however, be
carried out, as England has plenty OF
money and has never allowed little
thing like human life to make it aban-
don its plans.

Those mill men of protectionisU pro-
clivities who are memorializing Con-
gress to tax the American people to
provide market for their goods should
give some assurance to the taxpayer
that he will receive a fair dividend on
his investment. Our experience with
protected industries is that the stax-
payer he pays the freight at both
ends of the line and gets nothing in re-
turn. Certainly with such unanimity
and harmonious organization on the
part of the mill men the cotton planter
cannot hope for any higher price for
his raw cotton than the organized mills
see fit to pay. The "open door policy"
is good for the mills, but how about
the people,

There has been q striking lack OF the
usual annual cry for tax extension,
which is good sign of the County's
prosperity the past year. The crop has
been made on five-cent. basis, so that
the planters are realizing quite a hand
some profit On their Investment and
feel elated at their success. Trade,
too, is reported the best of many years,
and collections are said to be unprece-
dented. While the crop this year has
not netted nearly so much cash as the
preceding years crop, there is more OF
the element of profit in it and the peo-
pie are putting it in circulation. We
have an abiding faith in the honesty
of the Anderson Couiity farmer, and
pit him against the world in debt pay
ing qualities and disposition when his
resources yield it, even though he may
b. compelled to make his next crop on
credit. All honor to him, for he's a
diamond in the rough.

HONORED VISITORS
Spent a Portion of Today in the City
and We're Entertained While Here
BY Collector Dillon.

| United States Senator Warner Mil.
Ter, president Of the Nicaragua Canal

| this morning on the Santa Fe railway
| and remained here until the Mexican
Central left this afternoon.

and saw every thing of interest in and
about the city. At two O'Clock they
took the Mexican Central railway for
the City of Mexico.
The party consisted of the follow
ing:
Ex-senator Miller, wife and daugh-
ter; his son aud wife and two lady
friends of the latter from New York
City, Mr.. Thayer of Rochester, N.
Y, and brother of Minneapolis, who
was minister to Belgium under the
Harrison administration. Mr.. Spiers
and wife of New York City, who is
treasurer of the Internationl Paper
company.

Dillon few days ago notifying him
that he would reach this city today.

A FINE TIME PROMISED.
A Baggage Car Will Be Attached to
the Excursion Train And Lunch
es And Bicycles May Be Taken.
The MCGinty Band Will Go.

In conversation with General Agen,
Houghton of the Santa Fe this morning
that gentleman ssid: 1--WE have decid
ed to attach baggage car to our ex
cursion train to Hudson Hot Springs
tomorrow and all who desire may take
their bicycles along and ride from the
station to the springs on their wheels
instead DIN the conveyances are at
liberty to do so. Then there Is plen-
ty of nice shade in the immediate vici-
nifty and all who desire to take lunch
with them may do so. This idea las
has been suggested to me by great
many who intend to attend "
The roads are in fine shape and will
afford an excellent spin for cyclers
The train will leave the Santa F'e de-
pot tomorrow morning promptly at $50
and all those who desire to see the in
vincible Chicago base ball team play
ball and enjoy a fine days outing
should be there on time. 1t has also
been suggested that as many as pos
sibly can should purchase tickets this
afternoon and evening.
Arrangements were made today to
take the McGinty band along and de-
Hghtful music will be furnished all
along the line. This will have a ten
dency to make great many more col
from this point then would have gone
otherwise.
Word has reached here that twenty
five people from Las Cruces will attend
and 1t Is safe to say that about an equal
mum Der will board the train at Dem
1ngl 1t is an opportunity seldom Of
Tered an6 a great many will take ad-
vance of it,

He Might Have Married.

F1tz-Greene Halleck never married,
yet, as Mr.. Howe reminds US in his
"American Bookman," he could not
have been without attractions, for a
certain superior lady is reported to have
declared:
IF were on my way to church to
be married, yes, even if I were walking
up the aisle, and Halleck were to offer
himself, I'd leave the man I had prom
1sed to marry and take him.
10 this, perhaps, should be joined his
ep1gram, written for a young lady who
had asked for his autograph
There wanted but this drop to fill
The wifeless poets cup of fame.
Hurrah! There lives lady still
Willing to take his name.
