PREPARING FOR
THE HOLIDAYS

The stores as is natural on the near
approach Of Christmas are taking on "a
Holiday appearance, slthougR the
window display is rot so lavish as on
some former years. Tie first invoice
Of holly was received ON Mill street
yesterday and from now on evergreeus
Will be conspicuous among the decora-
tions.
Holiday shopping began on last Sat
urday. y good many articles have al
ready been disposed of at the stores
and the merchants are encouraged with
the prospects OF busy holiday season.
There may not be many exuayagaut
purchases made, but it is "a year when
almost every person has some money
to spend for Christmas gifts and it is
the sum total OF these modest purchas-
ers that swells the volume of business.
The confectioners are the busiest
people Of the lot, especially the two
firms which manufacture Candy-JOhn

say they have never been so busy
Their candy factory is running to its
full capacity and making over time ;
notwithstanding they can not supply
their trade and are obliged to refuse
orders. The heaviest demand is for
clear toys, which constitute one Of
Jacobs speCialties The daily prod
uCt OF their factory in clear toys
alone varies from 1900 to 1900
pounds per day. They have frequent
ly as many rs twelve candy makers at
work
James Martin yesterday began the
manufacture of clear toys and from
now on will be an important factor in
the local candy trade
The price Of clear toys this year
varies from ten cents to fifteen cents
per pound.
The jewellers are by no means be-
hind in the line Of holiday attractions.
and their windows contain many
novelties The toy stores, abound in
new mechanical devices which invest
them with "a peculiar charm in the
eyes OF the little ones.

IF these two religious bodies.

OF these two religious bodies.
All these organizations stood
for Prcsbyterianism in its strictesl
form. Erskine protested against
errors which had crept into the
Scottish church, through the ad-
mission OF Arminlaus and Pell

system of church patronage. He
denied the right Of king or noble

have been made to other inova
tions.
The Associate Reformed Pres
byterians, though not numerically
very strong, have exercised great
influence on the social and indus
trial would. They bore most
important part In the settlement
of the back country of South
Carolina and have impressed them
selves upon the subsequent prog
ress of tho State. They have
stood for schools and for colleges
from the beginning and are today
taking a prominent part in the
intellectual training of youth. AS
n rule the Associate Reformed
Presbyteriaus have been eminent
ly conservative in all matters
tempering the rashness of other
elements of society. 1t may be
added also that most of them NAV
appropriately adopt the form of
prayer used by the old Presby-
terian elder, "Crant o Lord, that
[ may be right; for thou knowest,
. Lord, that am very firm"
Returns from all parts of the
territory covered by the synod
show that the Associate Reformed
Presbyterians enter upon new
century full of strength and cour-
age, with promise of maintain
ing to its full extent the influence
they have always exerted as factors
for good.
