NEW YORK. Dec 25-There was
no spirit of depression in this city
Christmas day From the Bronx to
the Battery and over into Brooklyn,
to the point where Coney Island
points its nose into the sea. there was
merrymaking that must have salts
fed the jolliest soul, and those who
had no cheer Of their own were boun-
tifully supplied by those who had
enough and to spare. Those in a po-
sition to know say that never before
have the good things been distributed
with so lavish hand or so many OF the
less fortunate made happy with gra-
tuities. The Salvationists, VoIun-
teers, Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and hundred other public and
private humanitarian organizations
Wed with each other in supplying to
all who could accept bountiful re-
pasts, gifts of clothing and toys, with
music and bright lights and well
wishes. In fact, the good cheer could
not be dispensed in the traditional
hours, and beginning at
noon yesterday Christmas festivities

NO DRUNKENNESS ON STREETS
Everybody Kept Sober And Peace

Columbia people enjoyed one of the
quietest and most pleasant Christ

There was less carousing and the
day was observed more In the true
spirit which should characterize the
occasion than ever before Presents
were distributed and many were the
substantial and good things that were
sent to the poor and the unfortunate
by the churches. It Is believed that
every family in the community had at
least a fraction of the cheer of the
Gay.
There were several family dinners
on Wednesday. but socially the day
was a very uneventfuI one The pe0-
pie. as a rule, spent the day at their
homes and enjoyed an extra goOd

Chattanooga Times,


Fairmlnded people Of whatever po-
litical faith viii look in vain to find
any reason. provocation or excuse for
the persistent, venomous and sour
rilous attacks the Memphis Commef.
cial Appeal has been making upon the
Hon. r. w. Carmack Mr. Carmack,
exercising his right as citizen and
democrat. has expressed an ambi-
ton to become the governor OF the
state. and on that account our Mem
phis neighbours conduct cannot be
justified. II might oppose him with
as much yigor and spirit as it is
amind, provided it did IT decently,
and nobody could object, but it has
descended to personal abuse, which
every democrat interested in the sue
cess of his party must resent.
Mr.. Carmack has asked that the
state committee order a direct pYi-
mary to nominate candidate for
governor. 1t became manifest to
him, as It must be to every man or
sense, that the governor was opposing
him in this and that majority OF the
state committee intended to uphold ;
the governor. Mr.. Carmack then
made an appeal to the rank and file !
Of the party in general, and speciflcalzt
Iy to the democratic committees in
the counties. The state committee
being not the master but the agent
and servant of the democratic party,
t ought to be glad to know the wish
70 Of the party in this matter. Mr..
1armack did not make this appeal
Until he learned positively that the
governors closest counseilors and
friends were opposing the
lirect primary nor until he had made
'ersonal investigation as to the atti-
ude Of the governors friends on the
ommittee. IF he had not made this
ppeal and thereby called out a
OF the almost universal
opular demand, the committee would
oubtless have done just what the
American and the COVER
or's chief managers said 1t would do !

would have claimed that there was S
o evidence Of popular sentiment for

We think no just and reasonable 2
ian will find anything In this to
lstify the Commercial Appeal in vii r

: "buccaneer," or In giving the
ame of "rabble rebellion" to the
ovement which has already found

,mmittees in four.fifths OF. the coun- ?
es OF the state. Our Memphis con
mporary has long had habit Of
leering at democrats who do not

member that the journalism OF =
