Christmas In England.

When Cromwell ruled England he is
sued an edict against all festivities at
Christmas. The festival was altogeth-
er abolished, and the displaying Of hol-
ly and mistletoe and other emblems Of
the happy time was held tc be sedi-
tious. In 1914 the long parliament
commanded that Christmas day should
be observed as a strict fast, when all
people should think over and deplore
the great sin Of which they and their
forefathers had been guilty n making
merry at that season. This act so pro-
yoked the people that on the following
natal day the law was violently re-
sisted in many places. Though these
scenes were disgraceful, they served
their purpose and put an end to an un-
Just order. When Charles II. regained
the throne the yopulace once more
made Christmastide time Of rejoic-

At s o'clock Thursday evening. at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. E. NJ. Brayton. Miss Marion
Paine Brayton and DR.. G. W. Barron
were married by the Rev. H. I. Judd.
The wedding was carried on the old
fashioned idea of the rainbow colors
and was very beautiful. The hall and

was fragrant with beautiful white
Easter lilies.
The bridesmaids dresses, made in
graceful princess style, We're OF softsilk

of asparagus fern. In the following or
der they entered the parlor, each wear
ing her most becoming color.

Ia Hathaway, in yellow: Miss Agnes
Civil, in pink; Miss Pearl Bunch, in
green. and Miss Eleanor Mcqueen, in
lavender.
After them came the dame of honor,
Mrs. r. C. Chapel, OF Providence. Her
gown was a creation of shlmmerlng
aeolin cloth, with an elaborate jacket
of pearl passementerle. Against this
her armful Of pink carnations was most
effective.
Following the dame of honor came
the maid of honor, Miss Jane Bonneau,
wearing lovely dress of white lace and
carrying an exquisite bouquet OF Easter
lilies.
Last of all appeared the lovely bride
on the arm of her father. The bridal
dress was of glistening white messaline

Why HELP STEAL ,

Tie vote on the subsidy bill
for the Southern railroad was
veEy close. in the House, but it
passed, and it is now in the
Senate. Senator Tillman said it
was nothing but steal, but it
was a; steal that comes our way
andhe Will vote for it. If it IS a
steal as the Senator says, why
be q party to the steal2 Senator
Latimer will also vote for it, be-
cause he says, his people want
him to. The people want Sena.
torsLatimer to vote for a subsidy
to a railroad company, and yet
when John L. McLaurin init
mated he favored a subsidy to
encourage American shipping,
so that that the product of the
Southern farmer might find
more markets and cheaper
freight facilities, both Tillman
and Latimer charged him with
going over to the enemy and
being a Republican.
We do not know whether a
subsidy for the Southern rail
road is a steal or not, or what
interest Senator Tillman has in
that corporation. or if he has
any, but we do know that Sena-
tor Latimer has a son, who grad
uated at law, and without hay
ing pleaded a case in a court of
law, was given a lucretive posi-
ton in the. law department Of
the Southern railroad with
headquarters at Atlanta, and it
was this same Latimer whose
political stock.in- trade was the
denunciation of corporations.
1t is just such conduct as this
which creates distrust. The very
men who could not find language
too strong to arouse the ';com-
mon people" against mighty cor
poratiens now voting to aid
them; one acknowledging it a
steal, the other says his people
want him to vote that way. Bah.

A letter from Hon. Geo. S.
Legare who is resting at Pick

that his health is improving
rapidly, getting we'll, improv-
ing daily, sleep well at night,
good appetite and cough almost
entirely gone" There has been
considerable anxiety about Mr..
Legare's condition. He con-

Washington, and it was feared it
would result seriously, but he
is better, and is watching after
the interests of South Carolina

his great usefulness will go on
unchecked.

THE CRY OF STOP THIEF.

That was a terrible tongue
lashing Senator Hopkins admin
isfered to Senator Tillman the
other day in the senate, but the
Illinois Senator didn't do a thing
but play into the South Caro-
linians hands when he charged
him with the disfranchisement
of negroes. Necessity is the
mother Of invention and it was ne
cessity that invent the means to
ensure white supremacy inSouth
Carolina. This was obtained be.
fore Tillman became a political
factor in this State. 1t began
when Hampton headed the col
umn of red shirts and dswore s'By
the eternal God I will be Gov
ernor." Then followed McCready
of Charleston with his eight box
law and our registration system.
Tillman, up to then, was un-
known and unheard of, the bat
tie was fought and won before he
came on the stage Of action. Four
teen years later and with white
supremacy firmly fixed, Tillman
came along, and securing con-
troll, drove off those who bore the
brunt and heat Of battle: and he,
and his friends called a consti-
tutional convention, which was
made up of Tillman's friends and
foes; it was in this conven-
ton our present suffrage system
was engrafted in the fundamen-
tal-law. We, therefore, cannot
see why Tillman should be
charged with disfranchising ne
groes when they were disfrau-
chised before Tillman was po-
litically born:
Tillman nassumest he credit how
ever, and enjoys being acknowl-
edged as the author Of negro
disfranchisement, and whenever
a Northern or a Western Sena-
tor. twits him with the charge, he
unintentionally strengthens Till
man at home. Those who know
why.:the negro is not allowed the
ballot in this State do not blush
W hen our Representative is
charged with the crime (?)
There are other things Sena-
tor Hopkins might hurl at the
South Carolina Senator which
would be more effective than
throwing up Tillman's ;:we shoot
'em and we burn 'em" utterances;
while our senior senator is as
suming the role of moral monitor
for the whole country, clean
sing the corruption from the ma
tional banks, railroads and other
things too numerous to men
tion,he sh uld be reminded
to not neglect the accummu-
lated filth before his own door.
There are stacks Of corruption
in South Carolina needing the
prods of the pitch fork, and these
piles are Of long standing. Give
them sslong nosed yankees" fits
senator, but do not forget that
rocks play havoc with crystal
palaces.

Was Pastor Here.

DIR. Cheek was for several years
prior to his going to Russellville,
pastor of the churches at Locust
Grove and Salem. He was a
minister of unusual success and his
rise was rapid. He never left a
church except to go a larger charge.
His wonderful genialty was strong
factor in his success. He made
friends of every one whom he met.
His smile was always pleasant and
his handshake cordial, He possessed
the faculty of mixing" with his
congregations, one often lacking in
the ablest preachers. One of the
most useful men in his denomination
has passed away, The meeting re
ferred to above was the browning
work of his ministry, When it be-
gan his church had 600 members.
When it closed $50 members by bap-
tism and $50 by letter had been add
ed. No such revival was ever held
in Kentucky. While the preaching
was done by Others, the great
burden of the meeting fell upon
the pastor and it wrecked his health
and ended all too soon the career of
one of the most lovable of men, who
literally gave his hfe for the gospel
he preached.

nervous breakdown and he was
taken back to Hot Springs by his
wife and from there went to Waco,

SHOE FACTORY
DISCUSSED.
Committee of Commercial
Club to Meet Mr..
Callahan.
SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
Result of Last Nights Meet
ing Not Known at Press
Time.

ma Sony enterprises have bobbed
up during the past three or four
months that the plan to start large
shoe factory here had passed out of
the minds of most people. The
question has been rvived and it is to
be hoped that the factory will be
go,
Mr., l.. H. Callahan, Of Fon du Lac,
Wis, is now in the city with view
of lending his assistance in starting
the enterprise. Mr.. Callahan is
practical shoe man. He is thorough
lily conversant with every depart
ment of a shoe factory, competent to
give correct estimates and is enthu-
siastic over the question of locating
plant here.
A committee appointed by the
Commercial Club had an informal
conference with Mr., Callahan Thurs
dgy afternoon. Important points
were deferred for consideration at
a meeting tobe held yesterday morn
ing. The committee composed of
Messrs. w. t. Tandy, M. c. Forbes,
], H. Anderson, F. w. Dabney, ]. E.
Mcpherson, Geo. M. Dalton, E. B
Bassett and j. T, Wall, met Mr..
Callahan and a general discussion
! was indulged in as to cost of plant,
number of employees necessary, year
y output, sale of stock and many
other things necessary to a success
full operation of the plant.
The concensus of opinion of those
who have given the subject mature
consideration is that Hopkinsville
! is as good point for the establish
ment of the enterprise as any place
south of the Ohio river. 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Callahan shares in
{ the same opinion. In fact, when he
was. here some months ago he ex-
| pressed the opinion that better
place cannot be found. II is hoped
that out of all that has so far been
done something may be evolved that
will prove of lasting benefit to the
city.
