SWEET CHARITY
IN new YORK
UNFORTUNATE POOR ARE WELL
REMEMBERED BY THOSE IN
BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES.
THOUSANDS WERE MADE HAPPf
Different Charitable Organizations Ex-
tend Good Cheer to Many.
Salvation Army.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-This city
celebrated Christmas of 1908 in way
that not only set a new standard.
Favored with the abundance which
the year had brought forth, the rich,
tn well-to-do and the moderately cir
cumstanced placed ct the disposal Of
the active workers in philanthropy
ample funds with which to go about
making the day one long to be re-
membered. The unfortunate In the
jails, the Ill in the hospitals, the poor
in their homes and the destitute and
helpless in institutions all were re-
membered. That not far from 100000
persons were assisted by means Of
donations of dinners and the like is
conservatiYely estimated.
There was no institutions in the city
that did not have its Christmas cele-
bration. Special dinners, entertain
ments, religious exercises all figured
in the programmes. In many Of the
hospitals, Christmas trees were deco
rated, and gifts provided for all the
patients. Choirs from the churches
visited some of these institutions and
cheered the sick with Christmas mel
ody. In the churches, services appro-
pirate to the day we're held, an I'M
precedented event at st. Patricks Ca
thedral being the celebration Of q
pontifcal high mass at 4:2O in the
morning, followed by a similar cele-
bration at the usual forenoon hour.
Most notable OF the Christmas
benefcences were those of the Saliva
ton Army and Volunteers of America.
The Army had the vast floor Of the
Grand Central Palace Auditorium for
its Christmas storehouse, and drew
upon its supply to send out fully 5000
baskets, each containing Christmas
dinner for some poor family.

YEARS BUSINESS
HAS BEEN GOOD
WHILE NOT QUITE UP TO THAT OF
1907 THERE Is NO CAUSE FOR
COMPLAINT.

The merchants are well pleased
with the Christmas trade. They had
several good days and Christmas eve
buying was particularly satisfactory.
The trade for the week showed nice
increase over the same week last year,
thought the trade for. the entire year
of 1908 will show some reduction over
the year before, as the panic of 1907
did not begin until October and nat
urally its results fell heavier on the
trade of 1908 than on 1907.

COL Lasson and Secretary Ramondau

turned him over to two special detec-

cane was broken in the struggle, but
beyond scratch on the ear he was
not injured, and insisted on contin-

HARTMAN EAR
CLOSE TO GROUND

CHICAGO, June 1O.-Edward H.
Hartman, who is absolute master of
over $4,000 miles OF rail and water
transportation, has decided to keep in
constant touch with public opinion
regarding himself, his railroads and
the railroads generally, provided it is
possible to do so through things which
are printed about them.
Twice each month each general
manager telegraphs Kruttschnitt a
brief synopsis of public sentiment as
reflected by the press. His report also
shows the number of publications
which are examined, the percentage
favorable, the percentage unfavorable
and the percentage which is neutral.
He quotes, also, from criticisms, COM
plants, expressions of opinion and
from special articles besides giving
the trend of opinion as voiced in poll
teal and commercial centers.
Hartman regards the reports as

BISHOPS DEFEAT
THE HONOLULUS

For the first time this season, and
rare thing in long while, the Ho-
nolulu Cricket Club was beaten at
it's own game Saturday afternoon,
and, withal, by its own men. Not that
the Honolulu team beat itself; but
the other team, the Bishops, was made
up of players of the Honolulu Cricket
Club. And that same Bishop team
walked away with the other players
representing the club by 81 runs, the
score being 131 to Ga.
The Bishop & Company team sur
prised everybody by it's excellence Of
playing. Each man played the game
for all it was worth, and the team was
ably captained. The result will I'M
doubtedly call for return game. Fol-

Mr. Editor, there are quite lot of
petitions being circulated in this
community asking this session of
the General Assembly to enact pro-
hibition in South Carolina. Now,
Just word from your scribe will ex-
PLAIN his views on the prohibition
question. There are several kinds Of
prohibitionists in South Carolina:
one class are blind tigers or illicit
whisky sellers, and one kind are hon
est Christian people, both men and
women, who wish to rid the State of
the greatest evil Of the world, rum.
/ believe we g only have prohibi-
ton enforced in one@way, and that
IT our law-mal IS will enact a
,ohibition law with the severest
s..nalties attached to it; then make
an appropriation of several hundred
Thousand Gs-+llars 20 employ detectives
to watch tht blind tigers. Have these
detectives prosecute every law. break
er. Let them be heavily fined and
these fines go to the State to reim'
burse the State for the appropriation
made. In my opinion this is the only
way by which the prohibition law
ever can be made to prohibit, for
our people at large will not report q
law. breaker for selling rum. The
average man says to himself: "lf l
report this nan for selling rum |
make an enemy of him and all of
his patrons and get nothing for the
effort but enmity." But if the State
has spies or detectives in every sec
ton of the State they should be
bonded and paid for their services.
| believe the amount collected in
fines from these ram sellers would
pay every cost. Your scribe hopes to
