One of the most delightful parties Of
tho season was that given last night
under tho auspices Of the ladies who
have been in charge and inaugurated the

The dance at the Armory last night
was somewhat more than the regular

been permitted to invite guests and all
those who had been invited responded
to the invitation, 90 that there were
about one hundred people present, max
ing a crowd Just large enough for social
pleasure Of dancing without being
crowded.
The hall fer tho occaaion was taste
fully decorated and without intending to
repeat meaningless expression which
has been said 30 often, looked really very
inviting and charming.
The grand march was generally par
ticipated in by all and at it's conclusion,
from decorated and inverted umbrella
which was let down from the ceiling,
neat and appropriate programs were
handed to each lady and gentleman.
This little ceremonial was we'll handled

other in South Afrioa-but no longer for
peace and arbitration. Both are killing
natives in an effort to possess their
lands.
"This indicates sad relapse and in
our case it Is a most serious one. If
England succeeds in her attempt in
South Africa she will but add another to
her list of similar acquisitions; bravo
people will be subjugated, and because
of our engagement in similar venture
in another quarter thoy will miss the
expressions of American sympathy
which we, are accustomed to extend to
those who struggle for national life and
independence. On the other hand, with
success in our subjugating effort, new,
untried and exceedingly perllous situa-
tion will be forced upon us. We can
conquer the Philippines, and after con-
quoring them can probably govern thon.
It is in the strain upon our institutions,
the decentralization of our people, the
evasion of our Constitutional limitations
and tho perversion of our national mis-
sion that our danger lies. AS distin-
guished Bishop has said: The question
is not what we shall do with the Philip
pines, but what the Philippines will do
! to u.s.

strength as to remain the hope and pride

"The problem Is momentous one.
In the midst of reckless tumult and in
the confused rage Of national greed and
bloodiness let it be proclaimed that
American freedom and popular rule can
not perish except through the madness

Cleveland on Imperialism.

New York, January 17.-The Holland
Society held its sixteenth annual dinner
at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight. The
Rev. DIR. Henry Van Dyke, President of
the Society, presided. On his right sat
Ex-President Cleveland. There were
600 persons present.
Mr.. Cleveland prefaced his remarks
with an acknowledgment that on suoh
occasions as this he was a sermonizer
and pleaded as an excuse the pressure of
great responsibilities in the past and the
need of "Dutch conservatism" to steady
popular impulse. He referred to 'tthfa
time of hcadlong national heedlessness.' -
Mr.. Cleveland said:
"'The question is suggested 'whethe,
in present conditions this conservatism
charactorizes the conduct OF guides the
sentiment of our people, There can be
but one answer to this question. Con.
servatism has in q great degree been
jauntily cast aside, or condemned at
opposed to our country's welfare and
glory. A strange voyage has been
entered upon without count of cost, and
without chart or compass. The tried
and sure foundations of our liberty and
national happiness have been disoredited
Reverence for our national traditions
has been relaxed and satisfaction with
our country's mission has been under
| mined. The restraints and limitations
of our Constitution have become CALLING
and irksome under the temptations Of
national greed and aggrandizement
Our old lovo of peace, honor and justice
has been weakened, and frugaiity anu
contentment are not now traits insepara
bic from American character.

DEATH AT RETURN.
Free Advice to the Seneca Town Council and
County Commissioners.

Return, January 21.---On the 9th and
10th instants we had very heavy rains.
Conneross creek was out OF It's banks In,
most places. On the 18th the mail car
rier couldn't GROSS Sitton' bridge, and
the people on the west of Conneross were
deprived of getting their mail. We call
the attention of the County Commissions
ers to the need Of high bridge at this
place. The old bridge could be moved
above the mill and it would not be so
easy overflowed. It would give us a
more direct route to Seneca and two or
three miles nearer.
Would also call the attention of the
Commissioners to dangerous place.
That is at the railroad crossing In Seneca
at NJ. w. Coleman's warehouse. The
crossing is very narrow. It should be at
least thirty feet wide. Frequently oars
are stopped near the crossing, often
causing your horse to shy and run off
in the gully, which is washed very deep.
Now request to the Town Council Of
Seneca, especially to the Intendant We
ask them to take down the hitohing
rings on the sidewalks and allow no one
to hitch on the sidewalk. We have
noticed at times that tho street and side
walk in front of the business houses were
completely blockaded with lumber
wagons, buggies, horses, etc., which,
makes it very disagreeable in passing
from tho stores to the public square. 1t
would also be good idea to have the
turning plows moved off the sidewalk.
The union meeting holds good at Mt.
Taber for the 9th Sunday in March. In
this connection we will also call atten.
tion to the number of fifth Sundays we
will have during the year. This is three
years In succession that December has
had five Sundays.
Died, at his home, near Seneca, where
he was born, January 18, Mr.. John w.
Sanders. He was born in December,
1917. In 1880 he was happily married
to Miss Mahala Moore. Unto them
twelve children were born, six of whom
are living. His first wife died In 1888.
In 1886 he was happily married to Miss
Martha Ann Nimmons. To this union
six children were born-all living. He
leaves wife and twelve children tc
mourn his death. On the 17th instant
after appropriate funeral services, the
remains of the deceased were laid to rest
in the Return burying ground. Mr.
Sanders was well-known to the citizens
of Oconee for his honesty. He was 6
