WITHIN The TOWN.

= People are doing their Christmas
shopping at home this year. They find
that the home market Is good as Is to
be found anywhere.
= The Bazaar under the auspices OF
the ladies of the Methodist church Is
being conducted at the residence or
Mrs. Louis Roth today, and Will con-
tinue during this afternoon and even
ing.
- The annual banquet Of the local
camp Of the Woodmen Of the World
came off last night and was without
doubt the most elaborate, successfui
and enjoyable affair Of the kind that
has taken place In Yorkville In years,
in fact there were number OF per-
sons present who have attended many
functions along similar lines In York.
Vile during the past fifteen or twenty
years who unhesitatingly pronounced
the affair Of last night as surprising
them all. 1t took place In the spacious
dining room Of the Yorkville Hotel
now under the management Of Mrs. M.
E. Buggeln one of the owners or the
property, and the caterer was MT
Alonzo Rose, than whom a more cap
able one would be difficult to find'
The spread occupied two tables, each
about forty feet long and with seating
capacity for about 100 persons. II
would be rather difficult to give the
complete menu, but in the Language
Of Louis Roth, who says he Is not a
wooden" man, but was a guest, there
was everything in the way Of eatables
on the tables except corn bread. There
was boiled ham, boiled pork, beer
baked possum, roasted turkey with
dressing, chicken salad, biscuit, LOAF
crackers, several kinds Of cake, or
anges, apples, bananas, nuts, raisins
coffee and last, but no means least
oyster stew, and after the seventy-two
persons present, including members oi
the Yorkville camp, quite number
of the Filbert camp. and several from
other camps Of the county, and possl-
bly a dozen invited guests who were
not wooden" men, there was still
enough left to satisfy the hunger OF
forty or fifty more than were present
After all had eaten their fill, Council
Commander Tate, acting as toast mas
ter, called on a number Of persons
present for responses to subjects az
announced by him. Among those
called on who made responses were j.
c. Wilborn, M. B. Jennings, Andrew
]. Evans Of Rock Hill; Thos. F. NC
Dow, D. e. Finley, ]. c. Allen, S. NJ
Grist, John E. Carroll, Jos. w. Smith
Geo. T. Schorb, Louis Roth, R. c. Al
letn. At the conclusion Of the speech
making the toast master announced
that the occasion was at an end, ano
all departed vynig with each other IT
their efforts to adequately express theiI
individual concentrations Of these
Woodmen who originated and engi-
neered the plans for the occasion, Mr.
| Rose for the manner in which he, with
the assistance Of his co-workers car
ried out the details, and the manage
ment of The Yorkville hotel for the
| very commendable manner IN which
the guests were served throughout the
evening. ..

THERE is great commotion through
out France because Of the operation
Of the law separating church and
state, which law went into effect yes
terday. For a thousand years the
church and state have been one In
church and the state have been vir-
tually one. The church was supported
at the expense Of the state. The state
provided most Of the church buildings
and paid the salaries Of the church
officials of all kinds. These officials,
however. owed their allegiance first
to the church Of Rome, from which
they derived their authority. Some
thing like a hundred years ago laws
were passed that gave limited recogni-
ton to other religious bodies besides
the Roman Catholics; but the Roman
Catholics generally came first, and
were considered as having claims that
did not attach to others. The new
law, however, puts the Catholics on
exactly the same basis as the profess
SorS of other creeds. The state mas
taken back all the property of its
own that has been used by the church,
and will no longer pay salaries to
churchmen In order to be permitted
to hold public worship the Catholics
are required to petition for the right
Of assembly the same as others are re-
quired to do. The Roman Catholic
world has not taken kindly to this
change. Indeed, the French govern
ment has evidence that the papal au-
thorities have been trying to get up
rebellion. and what the final outcome
will be is not yet definitely known. 1t
is quite possible that bloodshed may
result out of the situation, but as to
that time alone can tell.

THE Manning Times suggests that
IL the general assembly wants a thor
ough investigation Of the dispensary'
1t might turn the matter over to At
torney General Lyon with the author
ity and the means with which to en-
ploy experts to examine the books
from the beginning until now
That is a good idea. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Lyon did not have more than
half a show as a committeeman, most
of his efforts being blocked by fellow
members Of the committee, who were
in more or less sympathy with the
people who were being investigated.

WHY THE Preachers WHPr.-Tears
spring from many sources. Alexander
."shed the briny" because there were no
more worlds for him to grab. Jacob
kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice
and wept, when he ought to have been
kissing her a second time. Peter went
out and wept bitterly when keen re-
morse cut his very soul, But why GER
tain members of South Carolina con-
ference who had been working
against Mr.. Creighton should have
cried like babies is more than one can
tell. They did not have the motives
that prompted Jacob and Peter to
weep, so like Alexander they must
have longed for more victories OF that
sort.-Carolina Spartan. .f, ! ~

New York World: From author
ity that should be absolute, John
D. Rockefellers annual income was
told yesterday, for the first time, au-
thentically. 1t will be $60,000,000 when
the year 1905 closes. Henry H. Rogers
and John D. Archbold were talking
with a prominent financier when the
subject came up Of how fast the OIL
kings millions were piling on one an
other. Said Mr.. Rogers: II know for
a fact that Mr.. RockefelleTs income
this year will be sixty millions" Mr.
Archbold assented. These two men
are closer to John D. Rockefellers s
finances than any other two In the
world. Mr.. Rockefeller's income every
day of the year is therefore $164,3SS.62.

world. There is no conflict between

marked. Europe is paying US today
for cotton fully $400,000,000, more than
$I,OOO,000 per day. If this industry

an opportunity for general debate
covering a wide range Of subjects from
a dissertation on Alfred Nobel, the
founder of the Nobel prize, to the rails
ing of the salaries Of members Of con-

simplified spelling. Representative
Gaines Of Tennessee, urged increases
of salaries for members Of congress,

There is a good deal Of speculation
all over the new state, says an Ardmore

be gained for Oklahoma If an Indian
were sent to the United States senate.
Let it be understood here and now
that the Indian is not cutting much
figure in politics-as an Indian. He Is
too few and too Indifferent. But as
an individual many an exception may
oe found. Some of the strongest men
in the Awin territories are Indians,
full and three quarter blood. OF the
type mentioned there are half dozen
who have immense interest in the
political game now being played. At
least three of them would willingly go
to the senate, and any one of the three
would make a fine impression and
bring about much free advertising for
the new state of Oklahoma. These

Patrolman McDermott called out
the patrol wagon twice yesterday
afternoon to convey prisoners to the
lookup. At 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon he found John Milasko, Grip
Pile, making disturbance at State

walk to the lookup and, on account
of his deformity, the policeman could
not compel him to do so. He was
finally lifted into the patrol wagon
and taken to the police station. The
recorder gave Milasko the choice of
$40 fine or sixty days in jail. The
prisoner said he had no money SO

the city marshal.

helpless on New Brunswick avenue
