THANKS TO SANTA CLAUS.

Old Santa Claus has paid another
annual visit to the world, and has
again made thousands and thousands
of children happy.
Here's thanking him, and wishing
for him millions and millions of years
more of happy days.
We hope that the attacks of his
enemies made this year upon old
Santa, as they are made every year,
did not shake the faith Of single
child. In many pulpits throughout
the land, and from other public ros-
trums, his very existence was assail-
ed. These attacks came from people
who don't believe in Santa Claus,
because theT have never seen him
and they are to be pitied. 1t takes a
love that can see through the sordid
denseness of a world-old materialism,
to See Santa Claus. It takes a heart

nDGE O'NEALL-AND THE NEW.
BERRY COLLEGE STYLUS.

Not in a spirit of anger or of fault
finding, nor even in a spirit Of crit
icism, except that criticism which is
kindly-meant and hopes to be of some
service, do we ask, for just one mo-
ment, the attention of the editors of
the Newberry College Stylus. Some
time ago We saw in the November is
sue of this publication the dictum of
a sco-ed'-we suppose that means
young lady student-to the effect that
she had found that in place of the
Southerners drawing their words, as
I had expected, they talk very softly
and sweetly, but very indistinctly and
incorrectly" If there be grammatical
or rhetorical errors in this short, kind
ly-meant editorial, give the linotype
operator credit for 1.-THE linotype
operator will not mind. Pardon this
little diversion; we started out to ask
the editors of the Stylus that when
they publish the name of O'Neall, they
see to it that it is not spelled "incor-
rectly," as it was in the December is
sue of the Stylus. Judge O'Neall was
one of the greatest jurists and one of
the greatest men South Carolina has
given to the world. A frst-class COL
iege within two miles of the place
where he labored ought not to send
out a publication in which his name is
spelled incorrectly"

Speaking about not producing at
home enough to eat, and importation
of Irish potatoes grown in Scotland
has Just been received in New York.
The shipment amounted to 1,5o0 tons
New York will not raise much OF a
howl over bringing to this country any
amount of Scotch-Irish potatoes grown
by the "pauper labor" of Europe
Wilmington IN. CO. Star.
The same thing is true In this meek
of the woods" We have frequently
seen farmers buy Irish potatoes and
haul them home. And it is no uncom-
mon thing to see farmers buy cabbage
Until out farmers learn to stop rails
ing cotton-or rather raise these nee
cessaries at home-all the schemes
and plans to put up the price will
prove futile, or as sounding brass
and a tinkling cymbal." But some
people refuse to learn even in the hard
school of experience.

III lne ueart, such as the gOl""n love
OF innocent children, to know that
Santa Claus has been, is and shall be
when those who try to put him out OF
the world have long passed out Of
memory.
Here's hoping that before another
Christmas the light will dawn upon
his enemies, and drive away the shad-
ovs of ignorance in which they are
now laboring. Probably very few OF
them knew Mr.. J. P. Caldwell, one OF
the founders of the Charlotte Obser-
yer, who only this year passed from
earth's labors. Probably if they had
known the kindly gentleman-big,
true. man that he was-a man OF pig
brain and of large soul-and had talk
ed with him about Santa Claus, he
cou1d have convinced them that in
doubling his existence, they were lab-
oring in an error which was costing
them a. great deal of happiness. Just
three years ago he paid a beautiful
tribute in the Charlotte Observer to
old Santa. He was then looking across
the waters, and he saw clearly, as
on1v those can see who, having kept
the faith, know that they are soon to
stand face to face with the King-not
the arbitrary ruler that even some pull
pits picture, but the King Of Love, the
Goldman, the Creator of a big uni
verse, the God of Eternity.
Listen to the words Of Mr.: Caldwell:
so likewise, the man or woman
who seeks to danish from the fairy
land of childhood the beautiful myth
Of Santa Claus is an enemy to the hu-
man race. The spirit that would shat
ter this cherished hope of a twelve
month, this bright ray Of Joy reflected
through the vista of the year, that
beckons the tots to the happiest day
of their lives and leaves its sweet
memories of full stockings and en-
chanted dreams, does not measure up
to the full breadth of Christian citiz-
enship.'
Beautiful words, bravely spoken
like the big man Mr.. Caldwell was.
The man who penned those words was
a benefactor, and we believe he now
has the reward which comes to those
who have bettered the world by hav-
ing lived in it.
Here's a wreath of loving remem-
brance for Mr.. Caldwell, and here's
wishing his friend, Santa Claus,
mighty, we'll!
