On Christmas eve we illuminate the

less we prefer safety to sentiment,
when we make use of the electric
lighted devices. One may choose
among several picturesque accounts
of the origin of this practice. In me-
Edieval times when the forests seemed
peopled with none but sacred trees,
there was q tradition OF particular
holiness being invested in an lllumi :
mated tree. Then the ancient Jews
held a Feast OF Light about Christmas
time in which candles were an i'm
portant feature, so that their use may
oddly enough have been thus adopted
by the christian. The huge Yule
candle signified the coming Of the light
into the world. The most beautiful
idea is that Gus use of candles Is de-
rived from the fact that probably

The holly and emistletoe indispens-
able for holiday decoration were orig

There is a tradition that holly is the
bush in which Jehovah appeared 70
Moses. The mistletoe was an object OF
great generation to the Druids, al
though only when 1t grew upon an
oak tree. The propriety of kissing
under the mistletoe is relic OF an old
Scandinavian myth. 1t seems that

At the meeting of the Board of Ed

months.
Parents have believed that it would
be advisable to have the children out
of school earlier in the summer.
The effect of the change will be, ii

lIIF HOUSE IS tIILED
DAILY AT MEETINGS.
DR.. MunhaII is DeIighting
All AmeriCuS.

DR.. Munhall, the evangelist from
Philadelphia, who is conducting the
evangelistic campaign at the George
oliver warehouse, preached one of his
powerful sermons last night to the
legal fraternity and was heard by a
goodly number of members of the
local bar, together with large num-
Der of other interested hearers.
Issuing as his text 3he ringing words
of Paul in II. Cor. $40, For we must
all be made manifest before the judge
ment seat of Christ; that each one
may receive the things done in the
body, according to what he hath done,
whether it be good or bad"
With this challenge ringing down
through the ages, DR.. Munhall showed
most conclusively that each and ev-
cry man, regardless of wealth, pomp
or power, stands before the judgment
seat of Christ as did Paul with a clear
case of guilty made out against him.
1t is a clear case, the evidence is
in, but the Intercessor has paid the
penalty of death that has been i'm,
posed, and all WHO will may betake
themselves of his sacrifice.
Dr. Munhall was at his best in the
argument, and it was no mean effort
He is a man of unsual attainments and
ability, and it is privilege not to
be had every day to have such a man
in the community
Beginning this week a service has
been held at 10 o'clocy and DR.. Mum
hall has given some of his choicest ex-
positions of mooted questions. The
service lasts just an hour, and tie
public is invited to these as to all the
services. The subject for today will
be "Sanctifcation."

DRY DOCK DEWEY SUNK

Hoped That Expensive Mon
Ster Will Be Saved.
Especial to Times-Recorder.

Manila, May 25.-The board of eX-
aminers appointed to inquire into the
sinking of the big dry dock Dewey
today made their report, attributing
the accident more to carlessness than
to deliberate purpose upon the part
of the station employees who are pri-
marily held responsible for the accl-
dent.
Experts declare that the great float
ing dock will yet be saved and that
the loss will not be so great as was
at first reported. The port side Of
the big machine, including the pumps,
became submerged today when the
monster listed, but no further change
in its position is anticipated, the hall
now resting on solid ground.
The electrical machinery which was
used to control the outlet and inflow
vavles of the big dock was badly dam
aged by the accident, and it is be-
lieved all of this will have to be re-
placed.

PUT CENTRAL SCHOOLS

Solution of Problem of
Good Schools.
With the Good Roads of
Sumter We Could
Lead the Way.

Union schools covering a large dis
trict, providing good buildings, am
pie equipment, efficient teachers, this
is the solution of the country school
problem, as County School Commits
sioner Duggan, of Hancock county,
views it,
Mr.. Duggan, who was one of the
most interested observers of the
commencement exercises of the Third
District Agricultural College, has been
in charge of the educational affairs
of his county for some years, has
worked along progressive lines, and
has accomplished some definite re-
suits. He has been a student of the
results achieved elsewhere, has tried
to benefit by the experience of other
sections, and in his application of
them to his own county has assisted
in bringing up the educational stand
ard there.
The Weak Country Schools.
''The weak point in the educational
system throughout the country has
been the ave age country school,
said Commissioner Duggan in CONVEX
sation with a Times-Recorder repre-
sentative. This has been especially
true in the South. Our scattered pop
ulation, the poverty of the resources
of many counties, and the unwilling
ness of many people to tax themselves
fo.' the benefit of their children have
been drawbacks. There is now more
inclination to carry the burdens of
expense, the country is filling up, and
our resources are increasing The i'm
prOvement is noticeable everywhere,
but there is still much to be done
and the standard can best be raised
through what might be termed central
lied schools, schools that will meet
the needs of a much larger section
than the ordinary school has been do
ing, and that by reason of this fact
will be in position to do more effec-
tive work.
Central Schools the Remedy.
''In my county, for illustration -
continued Commissioner Duggan, 1--WE
have a central school that is meet
ing the needs of over eighty square
miles of territory. Instead of half
dozen little weak schools, with poor
buildings, poor teachers, poor equip
ment, We have a creditable building,
a corps of good teactprs and the
equipment is of a high grade. We
utilize five large wagons in bringing
the children to the school and in re-
turning them to their homes. The
results have been in every way salts
factory, and the system, believe, wiz
gradually be extended, not only in
our county, but generally. It is the
solution of the problem as to how
we shall get good school houses in
the country districts, have good teach
ers and do good wo'
"Here in Sumter with your system
of good roads so rapidly expanding,
some system of Capitalization of the
country schools will no doubt be taken
up eventually and worked out to

self and look to it to work a revolu-
