CHRISTMAS TRADE
WAS BEST IN YEARS
Money Was Plentiful and Trade Was Conducted
on Cash Basis

One prominent retail dealer of
Broughton street stated yesterday that
not only had his sales during the pres
ent week been much larger than those
of the same season last year, but that
they have been the largest in the his
tory of his business and that though
last year two-thirds of the goods sold
had been on credit, this year condi-
lions were completely reversed and
that more than so per cent, possibly
as much as 66 2-3 per cent. had been
cash sales.
One Of the noticeable features of
the holiday trade was the numbers
of customers from out of the city that
visited the shopping districts and made
liberal purchases, not only paying cash
for what they bought, but demanding
on the whole a much better class Of
goods than has hitherto been the case.
The growth of the business of the
city is shown in a measure by the
figures of the Express Company and
of the postoffice. These are not yet
complete, but even a cursory glance
at those Of the Express company shows
a decided increase over the former
year, while the postoffice figures are
expected to show that the business
handled through that institution was
quite as large, If not larger, than that
of the preceding year.

The 'possum is very deceitful except

People say that a girl says no when

Some men are so deceitful that they

and even lie to the candidate after
they have the hog-faced dollar in the

There are men in Missouri who are

second case the police refused to make
an arrest.
white lad threw a handful of rice
INTO the face of a lady and she retail
lated by cracking him over the head
with a dynamite stick The boy re-
celVed a painful cash in the head and
INSISTED upon the police placing the
lady under arrest for assaulting him.
Sergt j. A. Woods refused to make
the arrest and would have placed the
lad IN custody, but for the fact that
he considered he had been punished
sufficiently.
Not Many Accidents.
There were fewer accidents, too. as
result of the holidays, although a
great many more dollars were eX-
pended for fireworks. This was prob
ably due to the fact that there were
not so many Roman candles, sky
rockets and cannon crackers exploded
as usual.
Those who wanted to make a noise
found that they could do so with the
dynamite sticks and have Just as
much fun AS a matter of fact the
sticks made more racket than the can
non crackers and there was no danger
Fewer people went hunting and there
We're no tragedies, or accidents, in
the WOODS, so Tar as could be learned.
In Fines $2S7 Was Paid.
Even in Police Court matters were
different. There We're fewer prisoners
before the Recorder Christmas than
on the same day the year before, and
yet yesterday more Christmas prisoners
were arraigned than in 1902.
And no excuses were accepted by
Recorder Myrick, with the result that
fines amounting to $2S7 were actually
collected by Deputy Clerk Hernandez
and turned into the city treasury Many
of those who were fined were arrested
or docketed for violating the fireworks
ordinance.
A Quiet Saturday Night.
There were few shoppers on the
street last night. but this was to be ex-
pected. The Saturday night after
Christmas is usually dull with the
merchants. Necessary purchases had
been made before the holidays. and.
too, pocketbooks, as a rule, are not SO
heavy just now. The sudden cold snap.
of course, had something to do with
the slim crowds on the streets last
night.

taxes in this county than in the aver
age Southern county. Take the South
through, the negro does not pay per
cent. nor anywhere near it, of the
public burden. Take the South
through, and he gets 25 to 35 per cent.
of the school fund. You don't have to
take my word for it; the public rec
ords are accessible.
So you see that If Southern whites
made a practice OF burning negro
school houses they would burn their
own property, or, at least, property
they would have to replace; for they
favor educating the negro, and are
paying for his education right along.
That colored lawyer also spoke of the
carvings of the dark races on the mon
uments Now, it is evident that you
are well posted in history and arche-
ology, and you know that there is no
record that the negro ever built any
, monuments Except as he builds
Southern railways, with a white over
seer directing him. You know there
is no record that any negro nation ever
attained any prominence in govern
ment, science, art or literature, and
YOU know the dark races" were
blondes compared to the genuine ne
gro. You know all the evidence we
have indicates that the negro, except
when a barbarian in his native wilds,
has ever been "a servant to his breth-
rem"
That negro lawyer also spoke Of GER
tain things said to him at college in
social conversation by young Southern
men. Now, If you will consult any
Southern white man who has the right
by knowledge and character to speak
for his race, he will tell you 1t is ex-
tremely unlikely that any young man
from the South who amounts to
enough to go to college would go to
one where he had to associate with a
negro; and If he should blunder into
such an institution he would have no
more to do with the colored man than
he was absolutely compelled to. This
may be prejudice, but prejudices are
hard. stubborn facts sometimes.
1 Judge from the colored lawyers
language that he had some prejudices
of his own, also some misinformation.
However, many white men are SIM
ilarly equipped.
In this county, a few months ago,
negro committed a brutal and mex
cusable murder, shooting down without
warning and I'm cold blood a young
white man. The victim was very
popular; he was also the sole support
OF a wife and two little children. The
negro Was not lynched; he Was brought
