HE HAD HIS TROUBLES TOO

1t was married mems night at the
revival meeting. Let all you hus-
bands who have troubles on your
minds, stand up!'' shouted the emo
tional preacher at the height of his
spasm.
Instantly every man in the church
except one rose to his feet.
"Ah!" exclaimed the preacher,
peering out at this lone sitter, who
occupied chair near the door and
apart from the others. You are
one in million"
1t aint't that" piped back this
one helplessly, as the rest of the
congregation turned to gaze suspi-
ciously at him.
Il can't get up, Pm paralyzed."

AVIATION AND ISLAM

1t is said that aviation is not con-
sidered orthodox among Mussul-
men. M. de Caters has given his
impressions to Paris contemporary
of his visit to Constantinople. He
says the Turks and Arabs greatly
amused him. The Koran says that
only God is able to exalt himself
above men, so one imagine how awe
stricken the Turks were when they
saw me in my aeroplane above their
capital They looked upon me as a
demigod. AS to the biplane, most
of the Turks did not dare approach
it. Those who did made their sa-
lams to it. London Globe.

GOOD ROADS AND TAXA
TION

The question of the people in in
corporated cities and towns paying
double road tax is being seriously
agitated in Clifton, as well as in
Globe. We read that one man of
Globe has refused to pay the school
tax for his employees and that test
is to be made of the law, also that
the people of Clifton are going to
make a protest against the collection
of county road tax.
1t would seem that the people OF
Globe and Clifton have lost sight OF
several material facts in regard to 8
double road tax. To maintain good
roads in the county it is necessary
to have funds, and as all the people,
whether living in city or town, OF
outside the corporate limits, are
benefited by good roads, it naturally
follows that all receiving such bene'
fits should be willing to pay the taA
needed to maintain the roads.
The people of cities and towns
derive great benefits from gooo
county roads. No business mar
should oppose the tax or be unwill
ing to keep up the roads over which
his customers have to travel. Like
wise those not engaged directly ir
business who use the roads for var
ious purposes.
For good roads in town and ou
of town no one should be opposed
to paying the tax. There are al
ways more taxes on property in 6
city or town than in the country.

FOR DISEASES OF THE SKIN

Nearly all diseases of the skin
such as eczema, letter, salt rheum
and BARRIERS itch, are characterized
by an intense itching and smarting,
which often makes life a burden
and disturbs sleep and rest. Quick
relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain's Salve. 1t allays the itch
ing and smarting almost instantly.
Many cases have been cured by its
use. For sale by Stafford Drug Co.

later afternoon sun.
1t was too bad that Christmas

Without word Derrick approached
a small clearing in the middle of
which grew young pine tree.

From the blanket Derrick produced
large plate loaded with a generous
Christmas dinner. There were turkey
and cranberry sauce, stuffing and
mashed potatoes and. gravy, turnips
and celery, and whole mince pie.
Derrick managed to convey half Of
the dinner more or less daintily to the
pie plate and this he placed before

cred that the weary girl had eaten a
little of the dinner and then fallen
asleep in her nest of blankets.
For a long time he watched the
changing lights on her sweet face as
the branches tossed in the wind; then,
softly he arose and approached the
little pine tree standing in the middle
of the clearing.
The cones were silvered with snow
and it looked like a Christmas tree
decorated for a festival
Derrick opened his suit case and
brought out sundry white packages.
These he tied to the tree with colorad
cord. Gay toys for the Ferguson chill
dren were added until the little tree
stood forth bravely in it's fine attire

Polly sat up with startled eyes seek
ing his face. For the instant she had
forgotten their misunderstanding, but
suddenly their light clouded.
Come here, Polly, and see our
Christmas tree" urged Derrick.
Reluctantly she came, a rose flush
straining her pale cheeks. But yet her
red lips were obstinately set in q
straight line.
This is our Christmas tree, Polly,
dear said Derrick in a low tone.
Yours and minei Shall we be happy
and enjoy not only this one, but many,
many others after, please God? Say,

"Oh, Derrick, how wicked of us to
quarrel when we should be happy! I
am so sorry." sobbed Polly in Der

blushed Polly as she FASTENED away.
An hour afterward Ralph Ferguson
brought a sleighload of merrymakers
in search of them. Together they sat
demurely on a log before dying fire.
Near by stood a little pine tree, pow
dered with snow, and dripping with
hanging cones.
You're just in time for the biggest
Christmas tree you ever saw said
Ralph as he gathered up the lines and
clucked to the horses.
We've had our Christmas tree"
said Derrick mysteriously, while Polly
smiled back at him out of happy eyes.

A CAMPAIGN or REVENGE.

The Macon Telegraph says that the
people of Georgia are prospering, and
that they demand peace. 1t charges
that "the ambition for revenge on the
part of one man has created hostile
camps in our State" and declares that
"one thing now only remains for the
people to do, and that Is to rebulke the
disturbers." That Is exactly what they
ought to do Why should they be drawn
into political quarrel for the personal
already repudiated by them in most
pronounced way? The prime issue In
the campaign, 1t is said, is the right of
the farmer TO the same registration
who lives in town, and the other is
sues upon which the defeat of the pres
ent Governor is asked are his accept
ance and support of the State Democra-
tic platform upon which he was elect
ed two years ago. THE challenge to
Brown" says the Telegraph is a ehal-
lenge of the Democratic platform-the
Democratic party"
We are not directly interested in this
contest; but If we lived in Georgia we
should rejoice at the opportunity of
making the meaning of the people of
that State so plain that the disturber
would never kick again. The right
way to kill a disturber of the rights
and interests OF State is to kill him
dead by burying him under such an
avalanche of ballots that he could
never be digged out again forevermore.

srnpplNG STONES NC orr1cE.

If we were living in Charleston, we
should insist upon the candidates for
Mayor defining their positions exactly
upon the question of the removal of
the stone steps at the Battery Shall
such iconoclasm as this pass without a
dehpitive declaration on the part of
those who are seeking the suffrages OF
the people? Some old fellow has butted
into this subject by writing a letter to
The News and Courier saying that fifty
years or SO ago the stone steps were
placed at the south side OF the sea wall
from which the Princess Louise entered
the barge H. M S. Dido to take pass
age for England
So far as we have been able to learn,
removal OF the stone steps from the
south side of the Battery to the west
end. nor have we any means of spot
ting the present stone steps as the orig
inal stone steps but for the last thirty
years at least the steps have been at
the west end OF the Battery, and no
body ever thought of taking them away
until Goodwyn Rhett's head became
filled with all sorts of so-called pro-
gressive ideas. 1t may be too late to
prevent the destruction of this mon
ument, which is almost entirely COW
cred by water twice a day but, with
Judge Jervey still in active operation.
and, If he be absent from the city with
Judge Rouse able TO hold up the judicial
end of the business. and with Judge
Meminger living around in Church
Street we do not see why it is not prac-
ticable to have Mayor Rhett ruled for
contempt or mandamused for cause,
or permanently enjoined from carrying
out his destructive tendencies.
The subject would readily yield to
much speculative treatment. but the
point upon which we would insist just
now is that the candidates for Mayor of
Charleston shall declare themselves onl
the stone steps question. Shall these
steps be destroyed? Is there no arm
strong enough TO protect them? What
does Major Hughes say? Where does
Colonel Hyde stand? Are they for or
