Connie Maxwell Orphan.

Greenwood. Dec. 2S.--Like all the
other places In the country Green
wood has been busy celebrating
Christmas. No portion of Greenwood
has been buster in this good work than
Connie Maxwell Orphanage village.
The boxes from loving and gracious
friends came in by the wagon load
all day Thursday. and there was no
lack when the stockings had to be
prepared that night by old Santa
Claus. Many a little desolate heart
was made glad by the blessed remem-
brance of those who love children
because another loved them.
1t Is almost reckless undertaking
to attempt to specify, but it will not
be invidious to mention the splendid
shipment OF toys from Columbia, the
contributions of the citizens Of Green
wood and the boxes shipped from
Greenville by Mrs. A. j. s. Thomas,
who for many year. with the aid of
her friends. has provided at least one
present for each child In the Or
phanage.
JOY was unconfined at the Orphan
age when on Christmas morning Su-
perintendent Jamison opened mis- mail
and found check for $1,000, which
was sent by DR.. James A. Cole, of
Timmonsville. as "Christmas pres
ent to the Orphanage.'' DR.. Cole
wishes this sum to found a scholar
ship for the perpetual support of one
child in the institution. When the
news spread around the place, it
brought many an expression Of graft
tude and some of the children who
are old enough to appreciate tile. sig
niflcance Of such gift are pronounc-
ing blessings upon the head of the
noble benefactor.

NIGHT RIDER TRIAL CONTINUES
Defendants Are Trying to Prove
Nf AIibis.

Union City. Tenn, Dec 29--The
eight night riders on trial for the MUIR
der of Capt. Quentin Rankin, having
pleaded not guilty, are trying to prove
alibis. The testimony of the defen-
dants that they were not present at
the murder Of Capt. Rankin is to be
strengthened by the testimony OF
scores Of witnesses, most OF them re-
latives of the defendants. Six of the
defendants have been put on the
stand. It'd Burton and Fred Pini0n
have not testified yet.
Each Of the defendants remembered
distinctly many persons, who were in
their homes NE night OF the Rsmkin
murder and~recalled many incidents
that occurred then. Pressed TO name
persons VINO were present on other
nights. or to recite incidents that oc-
CURED few days prior to the MUIR

DIR. WILEY NAY QUIT.
Pure Food Law Man Superseded b
Roosevelf.

Washington, Dec. 2s.--Admfnistra-
ton of the Pure Food law reached an
acute stage today when the Board OF
Food and Drug Inspectors sent out
bulletin permitting the use of BEN
zoate of soda as a preservative of
foods without the signature of DR..
Harvey w. Wiley. chief chemist of /,
the Department Of Agriculture. DIR.
Wiley was noncommittal on the SUBJ
ject. but it is known, from previous
rulings in his bureau that he has no
sympathy whatever with the finding
of the board, and therefore re-
fused to give the order his sanction.
Another aspect of the situation is
that the referee board Of consulting
scientific experts, created and ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt with
out any authority of law, and to
which has been referred some of the
mooted questions regarding the usee
of preServatives i'm the manufacture OF
foods and drugs. including the sub
ject of today's order. had not yet re-
ported on such subjects as the use of
saccharine, sulphates of soda or ben
zoate of soda, although they have had
the same under consideration in some>
Instances many months.
In the meantime the pure food and
;,fa Inv nr
ley, backed up by his tests with his
poison squads" is being daily watch
ed, say his friends, by those who use
such ingredients contrary TO the rul-
ing of DR.. Wiley. 1t is further under
stood that some of the interests slf-
fected very injuriously by DR.. Wiley's
have again renewed their efforts to
oust DR.. Wiley from his position. 1t
is understood that DR.. Wiley has ta-
ken an Independent stand and IL re-
quested to do so would not hesitate a
moment to sever his connection with
the Bureau of Chemistry. At the
he is personally responsible in large
measure for the passage of the Pure
Food law and because of his outspok-
en- attitude for its complete enforce
ment, the Administration, IL is be-
lieved, would hesitate to ask him to
quit.
There having arisen a number OF
questions relating to interpretations Z
of the law, President Roosevelt. fold
lowing appeals to him from certain
business interests, created less than
a year ago the special referee board
OF consulting scientific experts. which
has no standing in law, to which was
referred for report several OF the
questions in dispute. DR.. Ira REM
sen. president of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. is chairman of this board.
Most of the important questions sub
mitted to this board are still under
consideration.-Baltim Sun.

Roman Catholics May Eat FIesh Meat
ON New Year, Says Pope.

ON New Year, Says Pope.
Charleston. DEC. sO.--Pope Plus X
has granted AZ afdispensation to Catho.
lies. allowing the use Of flesh meat
on Friday, New Year. and meals on
that day may consequently not be
confined to a fish diet.
Bishop Northrop received advices
today from Rome through the Papal
representatives at Washington, maxi
ipy known the fact that the dispensa-
Ion had been granted on account OF
the importance OF the secular holiday,
New Year. which Is also the festi.
val OF the Circumcision In the Catho-
lie church.
Abstenance from flesh meat on Fri
day and other days on which the rule
OF fish diet Is I'm force Is OF course
nothing more than a disciplinary
measure Of the Catholic church. and
on great festival as Christmas and
on national holiday as New Years
day. 1t is optional with the Pope for
good reasons to relieve the faithful
from the exercise Of abstinence and
fast.
The Pope has seen AT to relieve the
faithful from combining their fare to
eggs and fish next Friday and now
the conventional turkey may be or.
dered for dinner on Friday In the
many Catholic homes. whereas with
out the dispensation, flesh meat would
not have been partaken of.
