they sought to mortify and hum

question of SIS there Il prohibi-
ton sentiment" in Clarendon? :?
DID the vote indicate a prohibi-
ton, or an nti-dlspensary sen
timent? A close observation will
prove clearly that the people of
Clarendon are not ready to do
away with liquor the receipts of
whiskey packages. besides the
quantity sold to Clarendon from
the dispensaries of Sumter and
Kingstreei is proof conclusive that
it was not altogether prohibi
ton sentiment which brought
about the result of closing the
dispensary, but there were num-
Der Of other reasons.
Then too. we believe in local
self government, Clarendon is
now wrestling with this prohibi-
ton problem: if it is successful
decrease the consumption OF liq-
uor to an appreciable extent, th"re
will be no danger of the liquor
selling system being put back.
even those who were opposed to
voting out the dispensary will
oppose reopeuiny it, for we take
it, the opposition is as sincere
in opposing prohibition. as the
other side was in urging it, the
opposition believed that prohiOi
ton could not be enforced. But
on the other hand, should it turn
out the surmise of the ants-pro,
hlbition forces was correct, and
the liquor selling and drinking
goes right on, SO far as We are
concerned it would be far better
to be allowed to vote ourselves
back, that we may be rid of law
lessness-a condition that can
only result in harm, then con-
tinue a farce.
Therefore we say that under
present conditions We might fav.

There is much complaint of the
chain gang not being a paying
investment, with which view
we are inclined to agree, but the
puzzling question is, what can we
get in it's place. Some say work
the roads by contract. another
view we agree with, but where is
the money to come from: aside
from taxation9 How many peo
pie want to pay five additional
mills for road purposes to do
away with the chain gang. It will
take at least five mills to give US
a first class road working system
by contract. The people cannot
eat their cake and keep it too, if
they want good roads they must
make up their minds to pay for
them.
The county commissioners are
often blamed for bad roads un.
justly, but if the people will only
remember that the only way to
prevent bad roads IS to make
permanent road beds which can.
not be done under the present
system, they will realize the diff
iculties the commissioners have
to contend With. If the chain
gang is abolished a road tax
must go on. and so far as we are
concerned we believe it would oe
a paying investment to put the
tax on, however: the Represen-
tatives are not prone to add more
taxes if they can avoid it.

shepherds could have been on
their watch at that time.
Its further settled by scholar
ly research that the time must
have becn some where near the
middle of Summer.
Following the customs Of the
Roman church which lead the
Christian world into the present
custom, all the ecclesiastical bod
les that accredit her authority to
effect such changes in ritual and
custom, s:proclaim the feast
with authentic observance. Until
this Roman power is broken we
shall so on in our Yule-tide Gus
toms, atfording little surprise to
the heather who look upon US,
save that we should adopt THEN
customs, and claim superiority
over them in the ends Of similar
conduct.
Notwithstanding all this, there
is something in the season that
reinstates the springs of youth.
There is the coming Of
loved ones and the cessation Of
the cares that have dredged the
life OF the business men; that
brings all together for while
for :: taste Of the sweets Of home
life. And it is gratifying that
multitudes profit by this without
the accustomed vices Of the
bas er sort.
It is the time when the fairy
drama of Santa Claus is recited
to the little ones and their hearts
are overfiowed With a Joy not
found in another SO innocent de-
lusion. Then, friendships are
renewed in its tokens that are
exchanged with their messages
of abiding love and friendship.
They form a new outlet to the
soul for it's best expression, and
an inlet to the heart-cord which
inspires to renewed and better
endeavors.
The little stockings are filed
and for once in the rounds Of the
seasons every heart is brimming
with Joy. both the giver and the
receiver is blest.
If Christmas could only be
made the symbol of temporal JOY,
and not connected with the Mes
sianic advent, and robbed Of all
the physical and moral abuses
that attend it, it would be!
worthy for its JOY making, sake.
If it could be turned intoa a sacred
memorial of the advent Of the
Christ, with suitable festivities,
we might add the innocent joy
we get in theexchange Of tokens
of love and bestowal on the loved
ones, and not make heaven
ashamed of our mockery, but
alas. that to many, it leaves
lasting regret and tarnished in
nocence. If only every church
could be opened on that day and
every Christ loving soul would
meet at the accustomed place to
show reverence to the Lord, they
would honor, there would doubt
less be responsive token OF
heavens Joy in the occasion,
whether it was on the exact an.
niversary of Christ's advent or on
some other day.
