The Empty Stocking.

One Of the most appealing pic
lures ever painted is called The
Empty Stocking" 1t represents

dim light of early morning-tbat
1t IS Christmas morning is indi-
Gated by the stocking still hang
Ing on nail beside the fireplace.
The bed is in disorder showing
that its occupant had risen hastily,
and across the foot of the bed is
seen the little girl-occupant, her
bare feet on the floor, in the atti-
tude of disappointment and grief
her face buried in her arms in
which she clutches the empty
stocking. The picture needs no
explanation, for it tells its story so
plainly that nobody can fail TO
understand it. The little girl.
who had gone to sleep on Christ
mas Eve with happy anticipation,
after hanging her stockings bysthe
fireplace, hap awakened early ON
Christmas morning. Eagerly she
had jumped out of the bed to see
what Santa Claus had brought her.
and she had found only the stock
inx, empty as it was when she
had hung it there. While Santa
Claus had remembered all her
little friends, her he had entirely
forgotten and neglected. And in
the intensity OF her disappoint-
mcnt she has thrown herself upon
the bed. unmindful of the cold,
sobbing out her grief which is so
deep that its scar upon her heart
will remain for life.

ETC.. and the election would be
ordered. Then after the election
was held there were contests and
protests and lots of swearing in the
courts before the fight reached the
general assembly. But the gen.
eral assembly got tired of being
worried and it passed law author
izing the governor to appoint
commissioners to look into all
these matters about territory and
property and population before the
election was ordered. The report
of the commissioners is examined
by the governor who orders or re-
fuses to order the election, AS the
case may be, and that settles the
matter for all time.
We hardly think our Marion
friends Especially the legal fra
ternity) will take the Stars view
of the situation and make a fight
in the general assembly against
the formation Of Dillon county.
The majority in favor of the New
County is too large to leave any
ground for the opposition to stand
on in a contest before the can
vassing boards, the letter of the
law has been followed by the CEN
trail executive committee with such
scrupulous care that nothing has
been left for our Marion friends to
stand Oh i'll a fight before the
courts. and under the new law the
matter of creating a new c c,unty is
not optional with, but mandatory
upon, the general assembly.
Therefore any further fight against
the formation of Dillon county
would be "a waste of time and
money.
So don't worry.

CHRISTMAS.

This is the season of joy, when
everybody lays aside business and
domestic cares and gives them
selves up to the pleasures of the
Yuletide. In all parts of the
civilized world there is great re-
joicing over the time that marks
the resurrection of the Great
Prince who said Peace on earth;
good will to all mankind. 1t is
an occasion for great rejoicing, a
time when the real pleasure comes
from giving instead of receiving,
but it must be remembered that
there are certain forms of rejoic-
ing that do not find favor in the
Savior's eyes. 1t is we'll for man
kind to eat and drink and be mer-
~ but all mankind should eschew
riotous and Incorporate living,
drunkenness and debauchery.
These latter forms of so-called re-
joicing bring pain and sorrow in
stead of comfort and joy, and the
person who indulges in them pays
heavy penalty in the end for the
temporary pleasure he experiences
in the beginning. This country
particularly has abundant reason
to give itself up to the pleasures
of the Yuletide days. 1t has been
greatly blessed. While other Sec
tions have suffered from drouths
and storms and other disasters over
which the hand of man had ne
control, this particular section has
been signally favored by the hand
OF Providence. The seasons have
been good, the harvest has been
more abundant than ever before
In the memory of the Oldest
inhabitants, there are no debts
hanging over the homes of the toll
ers, ant the people are happy,
prosperous and contented. There
is every reason for great rejoicing
in our specially favored section,
but let us remember that it were
better there were no rejoicing at
all unless it is done in the proper
manner and in the proper spirit.
This is the last issue of The Her
aid that will be published until
another year has been ushered in
md we close the old year by wish
ing each of Our readers a happy
Christmas and prosperous New
Year. *

 "On account of an accident to the pres ident in a runaway, and her absence from Athens in Birmingham and Bessemer, and not being able to be at the college, she deemed 1t wise to give holiday or 10 days, at the end of which time the school work will be resumed. Of the 1b girls in the school 45 were taken sick of ptomaine poisoning from eating fish, and while none of the sickness is of serious nature it was thought best to give the holiday Sixteen of the girls are yet sick, but none seriously, four trained nurses from Birmingham giving the best of att tention and care to them. To decide ex- actly what the sickness was. the state bacteriologist of Tennessee came from Nashville and made a careful diagnosis, and gave as his opinion that the sickness was ptomaine poisoning from eating fish, and the same report was concurred in by Dr. Cunningham Wilson of Bir- mingham. All of the sick girls are doing we'll and will be out in few days. Some of the girls were in bed only A hours. Miss Moore is rapidly recovering from her injuries and will be able to re- turn to Athens and take charge of the school when the 10 days holiday is over."
