A New Years Houurx.

New Years Day is in some way rec
ognized by every people having for
NAL calendar, yet the hours of the
last day of the old year generally
pass with little variation from or
binary routine. Nevertheless, it is
the completed book whose story i'm
presses the reader for good or bad,
not the cover or the frontispiece of
the new one. Nearly all the words of
our language applying to a course not
absolutely marked out describe the
path that is left behind and not that
which is before. There is no counter
part to the ships wake" for the
course which the PROV is about to
break, nor of the track of the cy-
Clone" nor of the spoor OF the tiger,
nor of "the trail" of numberless ami
mails. 1t may be noted incidentally
that laws or ordinances require auto
mobiles to carry number, in large
figures, hanging from the back. No
body who sees an automobile coming
cares what its number is. Only when
1t happens to leave some record be-
hind in its track is the knowledge of
its number important. 1t is doubtless
because the future is swarming with
possibilities, whereas the past consti-
tutes record which cannot be
changed, that most of our festivities
centre about the anticipation of the
new year rather than in a RETROSPECT
tive affection for the old. In the eld-
er days of the world prophecy held
place OF prominence among all peo-
pies, but of history in the scientific
sense there was none. This has been
reversed by the severely practical
modern world History is at pre-
MUM, prophecy at discount. Yet
the almost disregarded last day of De-
cember stands for the completed rec
ord, as New Years does for the pro,
phecy of what is to come.

TONS The building is probably one
of the best frame church buildings
in the State. 1t is constructed ac-
oording to modern plans of church
cdiiices, and is indeed building of

great deal of excitement here because

new management could accomplish
everything that receivers could ac-
'omplish and that all expense of re-
'eivership could be saved. lie stated
hat the stockholders have never had
he opportunity of directing the af-
fairs of the concern. and until it is
shown that they are incapable of
managing their own affairs he could
not see the wisdom of the appoint
ment of a guardian, as it were.
Mr.. Owens seemed to think that it
is possible for the stockholders ia
take charge and save both the Semi
uole company and the Southern Life,
and he was equally as confident that
receivcrship means the inevitable
wrecking of both, with practically
total loss TO the stockholders.
Mr.. Owens stated that he had talk

CASTOR of Cheraw and that all whom

special psychology of women, says
that there is a psychology in clothes.
1t is useless to say that they dress as

cause they have to in their own way
and to their own satisfaction. The
psychology OF dress is that 1t appears

crowd is looked for to watch the Nip
pom boys play bail.

very evenly matched.
Igarashi. who can do good work in
the box, will twirl for the Initials,
while Utaka, considered to be a very
good man behind the stick, will be at
the receiving end.
Tabuchi. the Kachos' catcher, has re-
signed from the team and one of the
crack players of the japanese Athletic
Club win take his place this afternoon,
In the second game the two leaders
in the league. the Asahi Jrs. and the
Tokiwas, will cross bats.
Both teams have been practising
hard and should put up good article
ofs ball. Yoshio, the crack pitcher of
the Tokiwas. who pitched winning ball
against the Kac!los last Sunday, will
be seen in the box today and Isami
will be behind the stick.
Last Sunday Yoshio struck out eight
men and only gave one pass. and While
he was in the game, from the third to
the ninth innings, did not allow his
opponents to score.
