.Greenville, December 23.-(Special.) ) Last evening in the auditorium of the Girls High school the members of the school gave a Christmas musical con cert.

Rural Precincts Prefer Open Saloons to Dispensary System in
 Pike County

Troy, December (SpeciaL)-Though complete returns of the local option cleo tion held in Pike county yesterday cannot be secured today on account of many of the rural telephone lines being down, a sufficient number of beats have reported to give assurance of a much larger ma jority for liquor than was anticipated by any of the citizens of this section As 1t stands now, there Is about 39o plus vote for the sale of liquor. The vote is almost unanimous in favor of selling and regulating the liquor traffic by the saloon method.
 Some of the best business men heartily favor the dispensary, claiming that when the dispensary is in the hands of straight forward men, it is the only solution of the .liquor traffic. The voters of the rural sections and many of the citizens Of thls city bitterly oppose the dispensary on the ground that when that method was tried several years ago the rural sections re- ceived no revenue and that there was graft on the part of the men employed to handle the liquor n
 The prohibition element which has been exceedingly quiet throughout the recent campaign are very much disappolnted al the overwhelming szresults against them. This element did not take any active steps to carry the election until few days be- fore hand, when a few of the business men of Troy initiated a law and oroer movement signing a paper Tn an agree ment to reentlessly suppress the pre- valently illegal sale, of whisky, 1T the cltl- gems would vote down the movement to have it legally sold. If the quickly gotten up and somewhat sentimental law and or der or emergency-like movement had any weight with the citizens the results of the votes cast do not show 1t.

In spite of the very indictment weather quite a number of people came to town, and a good many more were around the jail at the time the hanging occurred.

None of the relatives of the dead negro came to see him during his confinement. and his body was buried at the expense of the county Several days before he was hanged he professed religion and spent much of the time praying. Some days after his conviction he confessed the crime for which he paid the extreme pen alty of the law

WILL SANTA CLAUS COME
 TO YOUR LITTLE CHILDREN? !?
Mamma Is My Papa Nothing But Common Drunkard and Won't Get My Rifle? Asked Little Boy of His Mother Don't Delay if You in this Class. Make the Com ing Christmas One of Happiness in Your Home.
 Make Your Promises Good to Wife and
 Loved Ones


 The following is taken from the ad- dress of Dr. Geo Waverly Briggs, the celebrated evangelist:
 Mamma, is my papa a drunkard And won't l ever get my rifle?'
 "Oh, my baby! And for moment the mother sat dumb. with white and frightened face Then with rush of tears: Baby! baby What on earth do you mean? Who has been saying such things to you?'
 'It was Gerald" (his little neighbour. "He showed me his shotgun. It's just a single barrel, and l told him papa was going to get me Marlin rifle. other night. And just awhile ago Gerald was passing by the gate and he says. Hello, kid; got that rifle?' and l says, No, papa hasn't got It for me yet And he says, Mo- and he never will get 1t. My papa says your papa IS just common drunkard and can't give you nothing.' Mamma, is Gerald tell Ing the truth about my papa? And won't I get my rifle?"
 It was the loss of the rifle that darkened the sky of the minimizing child. The mother faced in dumb mis- cry an infinitely greater tragedy.
 Not one word of the above Is fiction. It is all the hideous truth And yet not ten miles from that mans home Is the James Sanatorium, for the cure of such as he. Three weeks treatment 2would send him back to his home a Thew man. and bring light from heaven once more to all its darkened windows, to enjoy Christmas with his happy shmily and begin the new year with
