 The most important change in the new reading of the statute is the su- preceding of the words retail dealers" by the word dealers" and the drop- ping of the clause f'bonafde hotel keepers" which the old law specifical- ly mentioned as eligible.
 The fact that the new statute does not affect any who are already mem bers of the order is some consolation to the classes who are affected. Speaking for the local liquor deal. CTS association. Thomas J. Fuller, president of the local branch, said last night:

 Coming Election.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Oct. S0.-In- formation which comes unofficially. tut which is understood to be from of1cial sources, gives the Democrats a gain of 67 votes in the approaching congressional election.
 The Democrats know that the Re publicans expect a loss of forty out of their present maority of IA, but the Democrats say that, being a landslide, the Republicans are only guessing where it will stop, and arbitrarily stop iI at forty.
 If the Democrats gain only fifty eight members they will have ma jority of two. but they insist that the gain will be at least sixIy-seven. Here is the way the gains are distributed: New York, 10; Rhode Island, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Connecticut, |; Pennsylvania, 6; Ohio, 6; Missouri, 8; Illinois. 6; Iowa, 3; Nebraska, 2; Wisconsin, 3; Idaho, 1; Delaware l; Maryland, 1; North Carolina, |; Ken lucky. 1; California 2; Indiana. 3; Michigan, l; Tennessee, 1; Colorado, 1; Kansas. ?; Minnesota. 1; Montana, l; New Jersey, ?; Virginia, 1; total. n

The masters anxiety changed to Won
der at the durability of the backlog.
Not long after this little incident free
dom came to Ephraim Carter by deed of
manumission among the records of our
county.
In those times with their far back
numbers we did not hear of the mys-
teal parsonage now known as Santa
Claus, but he or she was sure to visit
every household where young children
were to be found on Christmas eve.
But there was more reality about him
then than now. He was known as Kris
Kingle, BeltZnickle and some times
Christmas Woman. Children not only
saw the mysterious person, but felt
him or rather his stripes on their backs
with his switch The annual visitor
would make appearance some hours af-
ter darkness came, thoroughly disguis-
ed, especially the face, which sometimes
would be covered with hideously ugly
phiz, generally in female garb, hence
the name Christmas woman. Some
times the visitor would be veritable
woman, but with masculine face and
action. He or she would be equipped
with an ample sack about the shoulders,
filled with cakes, nuts and fruit, and
long hazel switch which was supposed
to have some kind of a charm as well
as sting. One hand would scatter the
goodies upon the floor and then
would begin the scramble by the delight
ed children, and the other hand would
ply the charmed hazel upon the backs of
the excited youngsters, who would not
show q vince, but had the strokes been
parental discipline, the screams would
have been heard a long distance The
writer in his earliest years had his share
in the pleasures Of those mirthful &C.
casions.
Fiddle playing in those times was an
occupation, especially in the winter sea-
son, and the players We're well compen-
stated, Joseph Dewitt, of the Flat Woods,
long since deceased, would occasionally
make his appearance in his fringed
hunting shirt and deer skin moccasins,
thus presenting quite picturesque fig
ure as well as good ball room music
There was another queer old fiddler,
Aaron Ramsey, a tri-mixture of negro,
Indian and Caucausian. He could pro
duce mixture of music and noise, but
he often filled the bill for amusement
seekers.
This story or paper founded upon
facts, and realities as observed and
known in the early years of the writer's
life, which may not seen creditable
with the advanced persons of the pres
ent generation. But there is a wide
difference between then and now.

Resigned as Pastor.

The Rev. W. H. Faust rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Deer Park
Baptist church last Sunday, to take
effect on the first of January.
Mr.. Faust will engage in ministerial
work in Georgia, his native State
where he will have charge of congre-
cations at Bowman and Sandy Cross.
The Rev. John G. Gibson, D. D., was
pastor for several years of the church
at Bowman, where Mr.. Faust will be
located. Dr. Gibson, for years, was
corresponding secretary Of the Georgia
State Mission Board, position similar
to the one now held in Maryland by DR..
Hatcher
The John Gibson Institute, a sub
school of Mercer University, is located
at Bowman, and because of the large
number of students there Mr.. Faust
feels that he will have broader field
in which to work.

Traffic was delayed and one life was
lost in serious freight wreck Friday
afternoon on the Seventeen Mile grade

car caused five other loaded coal hop

wreckage was buried Jesse Brandon

the caboose. Both tracks were blocked
for several hours and were cleared by

THEY ARE WITHOUT HONOR.

Simply astonishing is the success of
southern politicians of certain class
in stirring up the north to a condition
torderng upon hysteria. Tillman, Var
canaan or some of the others of their
kind have but to utter a single incendi-
airy speech and it sets the whole north
by the ears. Down here we understand
these men better, it seems. Our only
concern in respect Of their utterances
is the fear that possibly some misguided
person in the north may be led into the
belief that what they say is representa-
tive of something we of the south are
compelled to keep reiterating. But as
for the men and the utterances them
selves, we are too we'll acquainted with
the game to work ourselves up into any
excitement. The north, unfortunately,
insists upon taking Tillmans'and Varda-
mans seriously-which is more than is
done for them in their own land. Co.
umbia Is. c. State.

Hiss 0ffutt Improving.

The many friends of Miss Nell Offutt,
who was taken to Baltimore hospital
one day last week and operated upon
Sunday morning, We're made gloomy
Sunday evening by the receipt of very
disquieting news concerning her condi-
ton, to the effect that she had not raj
lied from the shock incident to the oper-
alton and that her chances for recovery
were slight. A message Monday morn
ing, however, held out more encourage
ing news and at present she is doing
extremely well.
Her mother went to Baltimore Satur-
day evening and was followed Sunday
night by her father, Mr.. D. E. Ofutt,
both of whom, along with DR.. H. W.
McComas, who assisted in the operation,
are still in Baltimore.
