[pREN AND CHRISTMAS

movement inaugurated III
Eicus to provide Christmas
Ar for the poor, and more par
dlarly for those children who
gherwise would have no cause to
remember the occasion, is one de
gserving of warmest commendation.
Whatever deprivations may be
the lot of older persons, Christmas
for the younger children ought not
to be robbed of its joy and cheer
so long as there are generous people
with abundance of means to pre-
vent it.
One can have but little respect
for that man who has grown so
sordid and so callous as to be I'M
touched by the coming of the
Christmas season.
Well regulated, human men and
women cannot grow enthusiastic
over the man, however big his
bank account, or however high
his social position may be, who
at this blessed season is unable to
feel the thrill of the Christmas
tide, or to experience an uncon-
trOllable desire to join in with that
noble sentiment which leads to
the alienation of distress and the
making of others happy at least on
this glad day.
1t ought not to require argument
to convince men of their duty in
this regard. Their own experience
in the golden days that are gone,
never to return, ought to speak
with trumpet tongues in favor OF
doing all the good we can for
others while the opportunity is
offered us to do so.
The simple, boundless joys oil
childhood we, who have emerged
from them, may never again know
save as we live it over again with
the children of to-day. When am
bilious men were wrangling among
themselves over questions of word
| ly prominence the Divine Teacher
set little child in the midst OF
them and said, Except ye become
as little child ye cannot enter
the kingdom of Heaven.
Children are the most interest
ing, the most potential beings in
the created universe, and the pro.
gress of enlightened civilization is
lagely marked and graded by the
care and attention bestowed upon
the embryonic men and women
who are to take our places in the
not distant future. Let coed PEG
pie, then crowd all the sunshine
and the happiness that we can in
to their little lives on this Christ
mas occasion.
God knows the lot of many OF
them will be hard enough in the
years that are to come; therefore,
let us make them happy while We
may.

The poor soul who has such heaps
of money that he does not know what
TO do with himself is almost as much
the sport and prey of the winds that

recks not whence dinner may come,
takes life as he finds it and makes
himself merry on the highway. The
idle millionaire, wheth er he has title
or not, must follow tine fashion if he
would keep in the swim; and to keep
in the swim is the one objective point.
For him the year is subdivided, laid
out in regular parterre, like an Italian
garden, and he must even fulfill his
destiny as gentleman of wealth and
leisure. He is rarely happy. He buys

ganize and petition the general as
sembly to pass bill that would give
the people the same right to vote out
a dispensary where established, ]uss
as the law provided for voting in
dispensary where there was none IN
existence.
At that time where 'dispensary was
opened there was no law to remove
it. This appeal led to the organization
of the State Law and Order league
and finally to the passage OF the B1ce
act. under which law the d;spensa-
ries are now being voted out. Mr.
Jones was also requested by members
of the law and order league to ask
Governor Hayward to recomm end i
his message to the general assembly
in January, 1904, that they pass bill
giving the people these rights.
Mr.! Jones was so deeply interested
in the success of the prohibitionists
and of the law being enforced, where
the counties vote the dispensaries out,
and of other reforms being made in
the state government, that he decided
early in last April to become cand1-
date for governor in the democratic
primary next year. He will then ap-
peal to the democrats of the state to
vote the dispensaries out county by
county, and at the same time elect
men TO the legislature who will en-
force the law and give the people a
clean economical business adrninistra-
ton. .-
Last April, when Mr.. Jones boldly
announced his candidacy on the pro-
hibition issue, many looked upon it as
a nine days wonder and, without de-
bate, consigned him to the fate OF
IiMessrs. Featherstone and Hoyt, who
tried the same thing few years ago
and were crushed by the dispensary
machine.
But when the people began to vote
out the dispensaty here and there and
everywhere, by such overwhelming
majorities, it began to appear that
Jones' project was big with trouble
for the political ring that controls the
state.
In all these contests, Jones has been
the guiding spirit, advising the local
leaders and quietly directing the va
rious campaigns.

MR.. A. c. JONES.
What ssThe New Voice." Of Chicago,
Says of His Prohibition Fight in
49,, South Carolina.

"The New Voice." Chicago pub
lication, prints the following dis
patch from IColumbia, in regard to-
Mr.. A. C. Jones' fight for prohibition
in this state, and his present cam
paign for governor of South Carolina.
The article is headed 'South Caro-
Ena's Prohibition Leader" and is &C
companied by an excellent cut Of Mr..
Jones.
The article follows:
In the turmoil and dust that has &C
companied the voting out of the va
rious dispensaries in this state, there
has lurked a genius that has been lit
tie heard on the stump OF hill tops,
but to whom credit is due for the re-
suits, more, probably, than any other
man.
What that young prohibition cava-
lier, Lysander D. Childs, was to the
reform before his death, A. c. Jones
has been since. Jones was the politl-
cal successor of Mr.. Childs, and a
worthy one. 49,.
It was Childs who fought night and
day for prohibition in and out of the
legislature for nearly decade up to
the passage of the dispensary law.
At his elbow was another young
southerner, A. c. Jones, now leading
merchant at Newberry,. and who is
likely to be the next governor of the
state.
In 1893 Mr.. Jones was elected to
succeed Mr.. Childs as chairman OF
the prohibition state executive COM
nrittee, and had charge of the cam
paign that year, when Mr.. c. c. Feath-
erstone of Laurens was a candidate for
governor at the democratic primaries,
and who was only defeated for the
nomination by Governor Ellerbe by
little over four thousand majority.
MI. Jones faith in the people Of his
state to repair the wrong done by the
failure of the democrats to grant pro-
hibition when the people voted it by
ten thousand majority in 1892, has
caused him to keep up the agitation
against the dispensary until he has
lived to see them repair this blum
der by voting out the state grog-
geries in the counties of Cherokee,
Pickens, Union, Newberry, Yorkville,
Marion, Lancaster, and Horny, and
with good prospects of voting it out
in several other counties before the
close of the year.
Jones insisted upon an aggressive
fight being made in 1900, 1902 and
1904 but the prohibitionists were so
discouraged by their defeat in 1893
and 1000 that. no one was willing to
make the fight in 1902 and 1904.
In 1903, at the request of number
of the leading prohibitionists in the
state, who were shocked at the open
violation of the dispensary law and
the general disregard Of all the laws

Constable ] w. Harbert, Of Lumr..
.berport came toHtown yesterday in
search OF Bessie Lindsey, 14.year-old
girl who has been relieving the mo.
notony Of things in Lumberport for
some time. Dessie's mother Is dead
and she has recently gotten a consid-
cradle distance beyond her fathers
control. On his complaint Justice
Martin committed her to the Salem
home last week. = Bessie evidently
wanted to see one more circus be.
fore she started in. making a circus
of her own for the matron at Salem.
So while they were waiting for the
acceptance Of her papers at the home,
Bessie Skipped out and came to Fair
mont.
Some of the Lumberport people
who came to Fairmont to the circus
Monday saw Bessie, and when they
got home told the justice where she
was, hence Constable Harbert's visit.
He asked the assistance OF Consta.
bic c. w. Walker, and the two made
a tour Of the places where Bessie
would be, likely to drift to. No trace
of the erring youngster was found
until the Wells Hotel. on Madison
street, was reached. Here it was
learned that she had been there, but
had gone, they thought, to the rail-
road station. The constables went to
the station and found the girl there.
She said she had stayed all night at
the Marion in company with two 9th.
er girls. When asked where she got
the money she said her sister at
Lumberport gave her dollar and she
borrowed another dollar from a
cousin whom she met on the street
Monday. She said she had gone to
the station to take the train back to
Lumberport.
Bessie was captured about $50
and spent the time from then until
$3.50 in the county jail. Constable
Harbert started back home with her
at s:45 last night.
