Sunday School Exercises.

The exercises at the Lutheran
Xmas tree were held in Roofs Hall
on last Thursday night before large
and orderly audience. The stage
was beautifully decorated and the
large tree, fanked on either side by
q large ornamental tree, was filled
with pretty things for the expectant
little tots, upon whose fact s. radiant
happiness shone.
Raw. Graichen opened the exer-
cises in fervent and most appro.
pirate prayer. In the absence of the
appointed speaker for the occasion,
Prof. s. j. Derrick, of Newberry
College, was called upon and re-
eponded in q most delightful talk to
the children, impresaing upon them
the significance OF Xmas and the
part played by old Santa Claus. He
told the children in terms, simple
but eloquent, that it was more bless
ed to give than to receive. His short
talk was much erj 'yed by all present.
After this address the presents were
distributed and all the little hearts
were made happy.
Supt. J E Hendrix, who has had
the care of the children of this
church for twenty years, then made
some happy remarks, after which by
q rising vote he was unanimously
reelected to the superintendency of
the school for the coming year. It
was very happy occasion and will
linger long in memory.

wednesday, January 3, 1906.

The year just closed has been,
perhaps, the most prosperous IN the
history Of the South. On every hand
are seen the evidences of great pros
perity,aDd it is of the kind that helps
all classes and condition. The bssis
at our Southern wealth and pros
perity is the farm, and the Southern
farm, especially the South Carolina
farm, during the last twelve months
has yielded an abundant harvest.
The harvest has not been so big, but
the price has been 30 good. We are
living in an era OF high prices and
that has always meant general pros
perity. South Carolina has been
particularly blessed in the fact that
She has been able to raise large
crop OF cotton and We will not suffer
from the low pricaa consequent to
over production. Money has never
Z been more plentiful. The banker,
merchant and professional man. all
are sharing with the farmer his pros
perity. They are all independent 10
manner, and neither can be blessed
without sharing with the other to
some extent. Our people have never
been happier. There has never been
90 little complaining. The grumble
has no place 10 the picture. The
calamity bowler is Q relic Of four
cent cotton. We pity the poor devil
who thinks he is passing through
period Of hard times. Women say
5 TO him-wake up, look around you
and 90 to work, seizing the oppor-
tunities that lie around you,
Lexington county is we'll to the
front in this procession Of prosperity.
Oor people have made good crops
and gotten high prices for them. We
face the new year filed with en-.
thusiasm and confidence. The wheel
has been started, and every one is
contributing his energy and intelli.
gence to move it forward. The year
before us promises even brighter and
better things, more prosperity, more
money. more happiness than the one
just closed, and the Dispatch wishes
TO assure its friends Of It's best wishes
and promises to them q publication
which will bear on its face the stamp
Of the progress seen everywhere.

John R. Criley, the present auditor
of WaDeilc county and candidate for
reelection for a second term, is one
of the competent officials, whose pres
ence upon the republican county ticket
this year has made it such an unus-
ually strong one.
Mr.. Criley has been handicapped in
making his campaign this fall because
of the nature of the duties Of the audi
tors Office, which Is such that the
present time Of the year, especially on
the near approach of election time, the
work of the office is greatly augment
ed. Because his presence Is required
in the office Mr.. Criley has been I'M
able to make as thorough personal
campaign throughout the county as
he would have liked to do.
However, having been born in
Wapello county and having been en-
gagged in business in Ottumwa, he en-.
joys large acquaintance throughout
the county and is assured the support
of large number OF personal friends
Mr.. Criley is young man being 3S
years of age. His business training has
been excellent and of such character
as to make him especially fltteHSor the
duties OF the office which he holds at
present and which at the option of the
voters Of the county he may hold two
years longer. His past experience in
the office gives him the opportunity to
render better services to the citizens
of the county than an inexperienced
man could possibly give.
A life long republican, born and
raised in Wapello county, and an ex-
cellent business man. Mr.. Criley is In
deed strong candidate and one
worthy of the united support of his
party. Those who have had blu, ness
relations with the auditors Office are
free to express their favorable opinion
of the efficient manner in which the
Office has been conducted during his
administration.

Secretary Shaw's fear of the yellow
flag Is not the same kind Of fear that
some men have, 1t is needless to say.
His fear is not in that he is afraid TO
fight it, for he is fighting 1t every day.
If there is anyone who has been an OBJ
ject of yellow attacks throughout his
whole political career 1t is Secretary
Shaw. But this fear is not all one
way, The yellows have been made to
cringe under the secretary's scathing
rebukes. His blows have been made
to count
But there are those who have diff.
ferent kind of fear. They are afraid to
fight this flag. They have been CON
tent to look in wonder at the number
of people who have been attracted by
it. Perhaps they do not know how to
fight it, but they should learn, for it
must be fought 1t must be fought
until it is dragged in the dust. Secre-
tary Shaw is fighting it. President
Roosevelt is fighting it. Others are
fighting it. New York is having the
beginning of life and death struggle
with it, for there is its home. Other
states are not free from it, AID there
is ample field to work in for the sup
preston of its influence
The yellow flag is more to be feared
than the red one

The YELLOW FLAG.

II am not afraid of the red flag Of
anarchy, but am afraid of the yellow
flag" said Secretary Shaw in politi-
cal address at Oak Park Thursday
night. This fear expressed by the
secretary is common one throughout
the nation. And it is not unwarranted.
I The red flag Of anarchy has never
grown strong in this country. The
people here as rule believe in govern
ment. AS known in the United States
1t has been something they could call
their own. They have held the SOW
ereign power. The mechanic, by his.
vote has been able to put the brake on
the opposing interests, the farmer has
been able to make his demands of his
rights, and the lowly laborer's vote
counts Just as much as either of the
others. None has seen aught to gain
by joining hands with the anarchist.
But there has recently been flung
a flag that is not that of the anarchist.
Those who have hoisted it have been
wise enough to see that anarchy in it.

only half and half It Is the yellow

the widows of those who had died.
There are other just measures of
similar Importance to special classes
of veterans, such as the passage of the
Ex-Prisoners of War Bill
All of the members Of Congress
fully admit the Justice Of these meas
ures, and that Incorporation into law
cannt and will not be much longer de-
layed. Therefore, all our hopes of this
legislation center upon the continu-
ance Of the present membership Of
Congress.
To elect those who are aspiring to
succeed our friends in congress would
not only undo all the educational work
which, the Grand Army and the
friends Of veterans everywhere have
been doing for years, but would bring
in an entirely new element which
would care nothing for the welfare Of
the veterans, be utterly disregardful
of all things connected with the war,
and which would from the first pre-
sent hostile attitude to the men who
secured the National integrity at such
frightful cost.
Commissioner of Pensions, the Hon.
Vespasian Warner, has managed his
great Bureau with such liberality and
justice as to win the cordial indorSe-
ment of the National Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
session at Minneapolis. He was able
to do this by having the earnest sup
port of Congress. A hostile House of
Representatives would tie his hands,

borne the heat of the battle, and for
his widow and orphans" while those
on the opposing tickets have no tradi
lions behind them, no obligations OF
party promise. no expectations of pub
lie approval for doing justice toward
the Nations saviors. We can hope
for absolutely nothing from them
while we can have entire confidence
that if the republican members con
tinue in power they will fulfil their
oft-repeated pledges to the veterans OF
the rebellion.
1t seems to us that this Is so plain
that no veteran who reflects for mo
ment can, be mistaken or can see any
possible reason why he should MOI
vote for the republican candidates
and do all that he can to secure theil
election and the defeat of their oppon

Comrades, lay this to your heart
and we are confident that on election
day you will be sure to be at the polls
