WALHALLA, n. c.:
WEDNESDAY,. DEC. 9i, 1904.
THE COMING or CHRISTMAS.

With tho advent of ncxt Sunday an
othor twelve months will have come and
gono since the glad Christmas tide Of
1908. During tl,eso passing months and
weeks and days tho pleasures and vciss-
tutlcs, joys and SORROWS that are tho lot
OF oil mankind havo como into tho life of
each individual and loft thoir impress
upon it. Whatever may have boon our
portion-whether abundant prosperity or
seemingly hoavy portion of advorsity,
or a year of evenly distributed successes
and rovcrscs- tho Christmas season is n
peculiarly appropriate timo for us all to
bring into tho vision Of our memories tho
many and varied clomonts that have
made up our lives, and to review them
carefully, thoughtfully and prayorfully,
and resolve that whom tho next ami
vcrsary of tho birth Of Christ shall have
come, our lives, though imperfect and
Improbable, shall havo approached
nearer the standard sot by Him during
his life upon earth.
Too many of us arc apt to look upon
tho better lifo rs calling for a long faco
and perpetual solemnity. This idea
should have no place in our lives. Let
us look forward to tho bettcring of our
own lives and tho livcs Of those around
us-spritually aud temporarily. At this
season Of each year thoro is a spirit of
liborality, charity and good fellowship
that is right and proper; but is it right
to display these qualities but few days
or week out of tho yoars If by kind
words and deeds at tho Christmas timo
wo can cheor and holp our follows, can
wo not do it daily just AS woll, and thus
multiply a bundrodfold tho blessings
that come into each lifo, aud diminish
tho sorrows that arc tho lot of allp
ut is more blessed to givo than to re.
ccive." Let us keep that thought al
ways before us, and romcmbor that for
every kindness done, ovory word of cn-
conragcment or sympathy spoken, the
reward OF tho givcr is greater than the
kindness bestowed. Ii We could all
realize the truth of this, and act upon it,
how much more Of happiness and less of
sorrow there would be! how much more
peace and love, and how much less of
strife and envy!
Lot us each resolve that this Christmas
tidc shall mark a now epoch in our lives;
that each day we shall strive to grasp tho
opportunities as they arc presented to
hclp our follows and brighton and bettor
our own lives. Wo mood not lose any
time looking for opportunities to do
good. There is not a day passes that
does not hold out opportunities for all
Wo have but to tako them and use them.

PROTECT YOUR COTTON.

We have had several hearty endorse
mcnts of our advice last week in regard
to selling cotton. We arc told Of one
thing in which tho average cotton
grower falls particularly short almost
every year with reference to the cotton
that is held There is much of it Loft
out and exposed to tho weather, and not
infrcGucntly there is n considerable loss
to the producer by cason Of damage to
the outside lint, which sometimes
amounts to actual rot for short distance
into the bale. This is an unnecessary
loss, for there is hardly a farm in tho
county that does not AFFORD ample means
Of protection for every balo Of cotton
grown on the place. The crop can bc
protected without extra cost and very
little, if any, more labor. If you have
cotton stored look after it and soc that it
is not exposed to the damaging effects of
rain and sunshine.

PLANTERS all over tic Southern States
arc combining now to hold thor cotton
for 10 cents. 1t is not question of
whether tho price will go to that figure;
She question is, will the planters hold to
thcir cotton long enough? If tho cotton
IS not marketed the price will go up and
stay up till the market is gluttcd. Tho
government report is in and has had its
damaging effect. 1t is a pity thcro was
not more cotton sold at the high prices
prevailing before tho government report.
Tho trouble is that most planters hold
thcir cotton on 3 high market for q higher
price and thcl. sell at a low figure. The
producer now has the bear by the ears.

PARKER on The FIRST BALLOT.
His Nomination Conceded by General
Opinion. The Negro Question
Bone Of Contention.

q st. Louis, July Sit is the general
opinion of the influential delegates
that Judge Parker will certainly be
nominated, probably on the first ballot.
Martin W. Littlston, of Brooklyn,
will make the nominating speech and
Senator Carmack. Of. Tennessee,
will second his nomination.
The contest over the Illinois dele
cations has developed great bitterness.
It is believed that the Hopkins dele
CATION will be seated and that the
Harrison Dunlop delegation supported
by Bryan will appeal to the conven-
tion.
! The platform drawn up by John
Sharpe Williams will probably be pre-
sented with excellent chances Of be-
ing adopted without material 'altera-
tion.
It contains no reference to the Kan
sas City platform; the money plank is
brief and congratulatory; there will
also be an anti trust plank.
The plank on the negro question is
causing great worry to the leaders.
Many Southern. delegates demand an
open declaration for negro disfran-
chisement and threaten to bring the
question before the convention on a
minority report should the platform
try to dodge the subject.
