VAN WICK ITEMS.

We have seldom seen such fine
weather at Christmas. 1t has
been all that the most fastidous
pessimiSt could desire and has
added much to the enJoyments of
this festive season.
The w O. w. Christmas tree
and e' tartainment was quite q
success and eni0Ved by the large
attendance. The tree WAS heavily
loaded with presents, some hand
some and costly, o hers quite
common and cheap, but neverthe-
less appreciated by the receivers.
Santa Claus and a few others re.
ceived fascinating dolls of a rich
hue, amt IN addition Santa was
given bottle of medicine "for
the baby" which caused much
amusement. Upon a whole the
Christmas tree was very pleasant
affair. The refreshments served
bv Cedar Camp was free to all and
accepted and enjoyed by quite q
number.

Misses Maize Byrum of Waxhaw,

Denton of Camden, who have
added much to the pleasures of
the holidays. Among the amuse-
ments OF the season, were several
old time home dances, where
were found the Presbyterian elder,
the Methodist steward, the 5 S
Superintendent, and some lesser
lights, and "Cncle John" SAYS,
"the only reason tho Baptist
deacon was not there, he does not
live in this part of the country.
We were not there, but we have
been there, and know some of the
enJoyments of these oc casions, and
are carried back in our thoughts to
our young days a quarter of a
century ago, when this Waxhaw
country was famed for its social
occasions, picnics, home enter
talnments and rural dances. Some
say time is repeating itself, and
we are getting back to the "good
old primitive times. -
Very few casualties occurred
about Ven Wyck during the holi
lays. S,.. few hands and fingers
were Iacn.lted by the premature
explosion of canon crackers, but
none of serious nature. Some
cotton was set on fire by sky
rocket falling on it, but was put
out with small loss. At colored

ment, through Minister Writing fang. has filed
claim for indemnity to the amount of 100000
account of alleged outrageous treatment Of
Chinese at Butte, Mont. There is a suggestion
Of Boxer outrages reversed in the presentation
Of the case to the State Department as the
treatment inflicted on the Chinese at Butte is
said TO have been cruel and oppressive. 1t is
charged that some of them were killed. others
lost their property and nearly all were ruined in
business, and many of them were driven out
The claimants number several hundred.
The outrages date back to 1886 and II is de-
clared that the City Council of Butte upheld the
rioters and boycotters; that the State courts on
appeal decided in language so unjudicial as to be
itself subject OF complaint that the City Coun-
Gil right, and finally that relief could be
obtained only measuraby through an appeal TO
the United States Circuit Court. The claim
raises some novel and extremely interesting
points of international law.
