PEARY FLUNKS.
Instead Of Making Good His Charge
= Secludes Himself.

A dispatch from New York says
the sudden determination of Com
mander Peary to remain in seclu-
sion at his summer home at Eagle
Island, Maine, indefinitely, has caus-
ed considerable conjecture. 1t was
believed that Commander Peary
would hasten to New York and SUBJ
nit to the public the proofs which he
said he possessed that DR.. Cook
had not reached the pole. While
it is not known just how long Com
mander Peary will remain in Sc
clusion it is believed that he will
wait until DR.. Cook has submitted
his data to the University Of Copen-
hagen, and it is made public. DR..
Cook is at work on this data now,
and it is understood that it will be
on it's way to Denmark within two
weeks. Peary's action indicates that
he is not so sure of his ability TO
prove his charge against DR.. Cook.

Company in the matter of the Pc
tition of the Miners and Merchants
Bank, A. R. Thomlinson, of Charles

doubt will be involved in the bank

HELP THE LITTLE ONES
Don't Fail 80 Make Contribution
TO an OrphanaSe.

Many hundl eds of grud people in
South Carolina will make contri-
button to the orphanags of his
choice today This movement is
known throughout the country as
Orphans Day., and if duly observ-
ed by every man, woman and child
it would produce fund sufficient to
support every helpless child in the
State. This is call from God in
behalf of the little ones WHOM He
has promised to take up and &c care
for and we cannot afford to tis-
regard the call.
There is no telling how much
one is doing to bless the world in
helping to rescue and train one poor
child. Some one has said they felt
the need of giving children the right
start and doing it before Satan had
damaged them, that they saw IN
every child powers of mind and heart
that might move the world, and II
saved from the blighting frost of sin
would bud and blossom in the sun
light of Jesus. Our prayers, means
and efforts properly directed to for
native and preventive work might
even preclude the necessity Of Res
cue Homes and Reformatories in lat
er life.
No doubt you have read some of
the appeals made in the newspapers
for the orphanages in South Caroli-
ma supported By the different church
es. There is the Epworth Orphan
age, Connie Maxwell Orphanage,
Thornwell Orphanage and others
that need your help, so do not with
hold it. 1t is a sad fact that some
Of the orphanages cannot, for the
want of means, meet the demands
on them. So do not fail to send the
orphanage of your choice a contri-
button today. If you cant afford
but one dime, send that.
There's little child outside your
door-let him in.
He may never pass it more-let him
in.
Let little wanderer waif
Find a shelter sweet and safe
In love and night of home;
Let him come.
There is cry along your street, day
by day;
There's bound of little feet, going
astray.
Open wide your guarded gate
For the little ones there await
Till voice of love from home
Bid them come.
There's voice divinely sweet, calls
today;
Will you let these little feet stray
away?
Let the lambs be homeward
led,
And of you it shall be said,
"You have done it faithfully
Unto Me-"

GIVES THE OTHER SIDE.
Mr.. Paulling Replies to the Last
Gard of MIR. Mann.

In justice to Mr.. H. c. Paulling,
we publish the following letter from
him, which fully explains itself:
Editor Calhoun Advance:
1t is distasteful to me to continue
the controversy with Mr.. Marvin
Mann over the school fund act, but
his statement recently given the pub
lie over the signature of Mr.. Peter
kin makes it necessary for me to give
the people, whose servant I am, a
complete and satisfactory reply to
his unreasonable and unfounded
charges. I regret the continued eff
fort of Mr. Mann to stir up STRIFE.
He has suffered nothing at my
hands. I have not defrauded him Of
single penny, and as your repre-
sentative it is my duty to protect
the county against unjust claims.
This I will continue to do, unpleas-
ant thought it be, because | realize
that public Office is public trust.
l have other testimony that will be
published later, although it is hardly
necessary, as Mr.. Peterkin fully ex-
honerates me of any attempt to de-
ceive either Mr.. Mann or the public.
In conversation with him, since
he wrote the letter published by
Mr.. Mann in your issue of Septem-
Der the 9th, he said to me that afler
hearing my explanation of the con-
versation he had with me in Colum-
bia, he is convinced that he mis-
understood me as to hiring Mr.. Mann
to represent the county in the school
claim matter, and that what did say
was that I tried to hire Mr.. Welch,
but he charged too much.
AS he understands it now the sew
enty-fve dollars is the money Mr..
Mann got for taking it into the
courts. He further said that the
letter over his signature dated at
Fort Motto was not written at For1
Motto, but in Buyck & Mann's Office
in St. Matthews and dictated and
written by Mr.. Mann.
] have a letter from Mr.. Peterkin
which will verify the above which /
will show any of my friends wishing
to see it..
Respectfully,
H. C. Paulling.

Home Church.

Orangeburg, Sept. II, 1903.
Times and Democrat:
am just home again from my old

quarterly meeting was held. P. b..

and graced both places to the salts

(Ye are the Salt of the Earth.) He
certainly did make the writer and
many others believe it had lost it's

do trust it will be lasting. Mr..
Smith knows we'll how to dispatch
business to the board of farmers.
AS most of them have their mind
made up as to where they intend to
chicken, at one o'clock they want
things to happen, too.
think the reports were all en-
couraging and the people of Edisto
Circuit seem to be delighted with
their present pastor, Rev. Harmon,
and would feel very much disap-
pointed should he not be returned
another year. After conference, the
writer headed column of hungry
Stewards and others for Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Ashe, where we met and de-
voured the good things that the
Misses knows so we'll how to fix
up. l did have some doubt as to
her being able to hold the meal for
abundance, when l saw all those
folks on my trail there, but a side
glance over that large table dis
pelled all doubts (and it was So.)
After the feast we gathered on
the piazza and smoked with what
breath we could command and talked
of the present and past, until the
rain began to fall, and continued
until we had to take our leave OF
abense from those old friends for
home in the rain. We got pretty
damp before reaching our homes.
All, Mr.. Editor, it is good for one
to visit his old church and home
folks occasionally, although we meet
many sad memories that bleed our
old hearts. Especially at church,
when we let our eyes rove over the
congregation and find the seats that
was once so regularly occupied by
those dearest and closest to our
hearts empty, and know they will
be filled no more on earth by the
same friends and loved ones. 1t
does make us feel like we want to
go there, too, and whilethese sad
thoughts were fleeting through our
mind, brother Smith pitched that
good old soul stirring hymn Oh an
old time Methodist key, Come
Thou Fount of Every Blessing. Sir,
it Just made ME think of the old
time religion that never was nor
never will be surpassed. do not
get down there often, but always
feel the better man after going, as
the many expressions OF sympathy
and true friendship from the warm
and sincere hand shakes assure us
that we haven't lived for naught.
May Gods richest blessings rest
and guide the young people who now
hold the reigns Of the church and
Sunday school of that dear old place,
until the roll is called up yonder and
they be there.

FESTIVAL OF LIGHT
Observance of Jewish People
Is to Continue Eight
Days.
LABoRs NOT SUSPENDED
Children Permitted Much Latitude
in the Playing of Games
During Period.

Light is the predominating feature
of the festival of Chanukah, which be-
ginning Wednesday of this week will
continue for a period of eight days
The festival is known by variety of
cation, the Feast of the Maccabees,
and the Festival of Lights.
Physical labor is not suspended dur
ing any of the eight days of Chanu-
kah, which. according to the Hebrew
calendar. begins of the 25th day of
Kislev. Its characteristic mode of OBJ
servance is the kindling of lights in
Jewish homes. small waxen tapers, one
of which is lighted the first evening
of the holiday, two the second, and so
on until the eighth, when eight tapers
are ignited.
Occasion of Family DevOtIOns.
Centuries ago when the Jews lived
in ghettos apart from other people of
the community, the Chanukah lights
were placed near the door leading to
the street so that all the world might
see them, but when danger of persecu-
ton threatened the Jews, the lights
were ignited indoors. For a long time
the custom of placing the lights near
the street door has not been observed,
and at present the lighting of the Cha
nukah lights is made the occasion of
family devotions and family festivals.
Prayers are pronounced over the
lights and the little ones of the house
hold are allowed much latitude in the
way of indulging in all kinds Of games
The prayer is simple, and is as fol
laws: Blessed be the Lord our God, /
King of the Universe, who has sancti- I
fed us by Thy commandments and
has commanded us to kindle the Cha
nukah lamp"
INSTITUTED I'm 49, b. c.
The Festival of Lights was institut |
ed by Judas Maccabeus. his valiant /
brothers and the elders in the year 165 |
B. c., to commemorate the publication /
Of the sanctuary following the Macca- /
bean victory. Three years earlier on .
the same day of the publication. An /
tiochus Epiphanus set up a heather
altar in the temple of Jerusalem AT .
ter the victory of Judas Maccabeus, /
which was quickly followed by the re- /
cOvery of Jerusalem, and the temple.
the temple was purified. a new altar /
was built, and the celebration which .
followed continued eight days. That is .
why the Jews the world over celebrate |
the Chanukah festival for eight days.
Tradition has it that when the tenn
pie was captured from the heather host /
one small cruise of consecrated oil was
discovered by the priests when they |
entered the sanctuary. and this they
found to be unpolluted by heather
touch. a miracle, according to tradi-
ton, followed the discovery of these
