IS THE BIRTHDAY OF ONE WHO NEVER GAVE TO
 THE WORLD A DOLLAR.

In the December Woman's Home Companion, Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle in New York, writes a great Christmas sermon. One of the eloquent passages in it follows:
 'It is worth remembering that Christmas is the birthday of Jesus, the Man who never gave the world a dollar. He bestowed upon mankind not solitary material gift He cary ed no statue, painted no picture, wrote no poem, composed no song, fashioned no piece of jewelry, built no edifice, founded no city, erected no triumphal arch; but He stands in history as the great Giver. Silver and god He had none, but such as He had He gave to men, the gentle touch of a sympa- thetic hand, the golden glow of a gen. ial mind, the healing love of a gener- ous heart, the bracing energy of a

THE MAGNIFICENT KAvAss.

The viSualiZatiOn of extra-territor- iality is the kavaSS. Not to know a kavass is to have missed acquaintance with the most gorgeous creation that any sun shines upon. Not even Solo,
 mon in all his g ory, nor yet the am- bassador of a tin-pot republic, was ev- CT arrayed like one of these. His like
 may not be found in all liveried butler dom, nor yet in Knights Templar con claves, nor in university processions,
 nor scarcely in a British coronation.
 The brilliant colors, the piled-up gold
 braid, the sparkling sword, ostenta- tious pistol, and gorgeous mace of the
 kavass are all emblems of extra-terri-
 toriality. The object of the existence of the kavass is to show forth the
 glory and majesty and might of the foreign nation to whose embassy, le-
 gation or consulate he is attached. His actual functions are those of errand
 boy, footman, policeman, or household servant He may stand behind your chair at dinner, or he may ride on the
 box of Mrs. Consul when she fares forth to pay her afternoon calls. He
 greets you at boat or train if you are an expected guest of the consul, min
 ister, or ambassador, and he keeps away the beggars when you depart. If you have a call of state to make upon
 an official, he adds luster to your silk
 hat. If one of his masters nation
 als dies, or even a friend whom it is
 desirable to honor, he and his mace
 walk at the front of the funeral pro- session. If you wish to visit the Mos

 sword and pistol must attend you, lest

 duties and not too great for lowly tasks. In many places I have seen
 him upholding the honor of the Stars and Stripes. May his pay be increas- ed and his job outlast the curious in- ternational conditions which have
 brought him into existencel-William

NOW FOR UPBUILDING.

Itis gratifying tonote the spirit
in which the defeated candidate
for mayor of Charleston took his
defeat. Major Hyde declined to
make contest before the execu-
tive committee, Notwithstanding
it was alleged that many frauds
were committed. John ?. Grace
is now the nominee, which means
his election to the mayorality,
and we hope he will be able to
show to those who fought him
so bitterly that he can give to
that city a progressive admins
tration. Col. Grace made hard
fight and his victory over the
s'powers that be-" indicate the peo
pie of that city have grown weary
of waiting on the old timers for a
quickening of the city's activity.
Now that Grace has taken
Rhett's Hyde we hope he Will
make good, and that his election
will mean a new era for the
grand old city, and that those
he sent sup the creek'' will
come back in a good humor and
help him build a Greater Char
lesion.

LET THE PEOPLE ALONE.

The Charleston News and
Courier urges the enactment
of hunters license law. If such
a law is to MAINTAIN a lot of con-
stables to harass people, we doubt
very much if the legislature
will lend itself to it. In our opin
ion, the dollar license would not
be much of protection to the
game Of this country. but if it is
to be required, then we say the
money from such licenses should
be put into the county treasures
where it is collected, and not be
placed at the disposal Of the
Audubon or any other society.
We favor a reasonable protec
tive game law, but opposed to
the drastic measures proposed
by those VINO are seeking to aid
the owners of large preserves
which they lease to tourists.
Under the present law the chief
game warden Of the Stat. is ap-
pointed on the recommendation
of the Audubon society, which
is wrong. He should be elected
by the legislature or appointed
by the governor, or if he is u
State officer, he should be elected
by the people the same as other
State officers. The hunting priv
ilege has been largely ourtailed
by the owners of the lands, and
what littleis left for the pleasure
of those who are fond of hunting.
should not be further curtailed
by wardens who go about the
country seeking to fitch money
out of the pockets of those who
have obtained permission to
hunt on private lands. In our
opinion, the trespass laws are
sufficient to protect the game of
this country without adding
further burdens to the taxes Of
the people.

AN EXTRA SESSION REFUSED.

In declining to call an extra
session of the general assembly
at this time to take action on the
cotton situation we think the
governor did right, because to
have done so would have estab-
lished & precedent which in the
future might cause much annoy
lance. This time it was some
farmers asking for the extra
session, next time it might be
the merchants, and the next the
labor organizations, and as the
government is supposed to be a
non partisan organization we
believe Governor Blease did the
proper thing in refusing to call
the legislature together. Had
he called that body we doubt
very much if any relief could
have been obtained from 1t, not
alone because of a diversity of
opinion, but because we have
very grave doubts of the legis
lature having the power to lend
its credit to the financing of pri-
vate interests. it is our opinion,
If the State has the power to
finance the cotton industry, it
would have the right to finance
the cotton mills, the railroads,
fertilizer factories and the va
rioas enterprises in this State;
our political system would be-
come so involved with our indus
trial and commercial systems:
that it would take but a few
years before the whole would
get into a mess similar to the
State dispensary, corruption and
bankruptcy would be the inevi-
table res ult.
The Marlboro gentlemen who
asked the governor to call this
extra session feel offended be.
cause he declined to grant their
request or hear them on the
subject, they look upon his re-
fusaI to hear them as a dis
courtesy, but we have no idea
that the governor intended being
discourteous to them. they had
outlined their views in their re,
quest and no argument which
these gentlemen could urge
would induce him to call the ex.
ira session, therefore he could
save them the trouble and ex-
pense of the trip to Columbia,
ordinarily, to play politics a
governor under such circum
stances would have gratiied a
committee to hear them through
and then decline, but Governor
Blease was evidently not giving
politics consideration in this
matter, and acted upon his judg-
ment when it was first present
ed, it now remains for the peo-
pie to Judge whether or not he
was right.

WILL WALL STREET RULE !!

The leaders Of the Democratic
party are giving out whole lot
Of very optimistic clatter, these
days, even going SO far as to
say that Presi dent Taft is feel
ing the effects of chilly feet, and
that his party is going to pull
him down and put Justice
Hughes in his place, all of which
is cock. Taft will be the
Republican nominee. in spite Of
the disturbances in his party
ranks. The LaFallotte bunch
will not do more than fix them
selves in position to become
pleading penltents after the
convention has put forth the
standard bearer. 1t is true that
the Republican party has re.
ceived a severe jolt in the last
elections held throughout the
Union, and such things have
happened before in off years,
but then when there was a pres
ident to elect, the coutending
wings came together for a final
victory. 1t does at this time
look as if the Democratic party
has a chance of winning, but
there are some things about this
chance which do not suit Us, we
refer to the support which is
expected from Wall Street; if it
is true that Wall Street, and the
monied interests are anxious for
the defeat Of the Republican
party and want Governor Wilson
put in charge of the government
there must be a reason. Here
tofore we have always regarded
the Republican party the pro
tege of Wall Street, and now to
be told that this famous monied
center is desirous of electing the
New Jersey school teacher is
rather suspicious.

BLEASE WON'T STAND JABBING.

Weregret very much that Gov.
ernor Blease makes use Of ex-
pressions such as he used in his
speech at Anderson, if he is cor
rectly reported, we always put
in this proviso, because the daily
newspapers have a way OF put,
ting words in the governors
mouth which he does not use, and
thereby mislead; however, if he
said what they quote him as say
ing, he ought not to have done
so, first, because it is unbecom.
ing in governor to lend his aid
by word or deed to lawlessness,
second, when the governor Of the
State says ':rather than to call
out the military to protect a ne
gro charged with laying unholy
hands upon a white woman, he
would resign his Office and be-
come the leader of the lynchers, :
he is sowing seeds Of reckless
ness which will have a baneful
influence upon the thoughtless.
The governor is sworn to enforce
the laws, and regardless of what
they are, or whom they might
effect. it is his sworn duty to en-
force them in behalf of white and
black. Every citizen is entitled
to the protection of the law. and.
the governor is under a solemn
oath to give this protection,
therefore, Governor Blease must
do his duty as laid down in the
statute books of this State; when
he is brought to face this duty
we believe he will do it. regard
less of his speeches to the con-
trary
The governor IS quoted as say
ing some hard things about the
preachers. which is also unbe-
coming; there are some preach
ers who, in our judgment. are a
reflection upon the calling, but
these are few and far between;
their acts should not be taken ;ls
a guide against the whole. The
governors criticism Of the
preachers who criticised those
that engaged in the Honea Path
lynching, and himself, may have
had some justification had he
simply confined himself to the
resolutions adopted by the local
union, but when he strikes ont
and speaks of some preachers
having more negro blood,in then
veins than the BOY that was
lynched. it is an assertion which
he cannot prove. and therefore
he should not have said it: be
cause, it was undignifed, and
there is no way of knowing if ii
is true. There are many who are
friendly inclined towards the
governor, who realize he has .

saying solpe scorching things
but these would preferthat he rise

above the provocations and give
to the high Office he holds the
dignity it deserves.
Playing the role Of Ajax def y
ing the lightnings may do alright
on the dramatic stage, but when
Governor Blease or any other
man assumes such q cast on the
political stage aud defes the po-
litical Iightnings, he may learn
to his sorrow that he mas gone
too far to be followed, even by
those who feel kindly towards
him.
The people as a whole do not
applaud the encouragement of
Iawlessuess, it may appeal to
a thoughtless class, but the sub
stantial citizen, who at last is the
hope of the State, will not en-
dorse such anarchy, whether it
has the sanction Of Governor
or a Hoodlum; the we'll thinking
people Of the State, may differ as
to the propriety of certain acts
of certain preachers, but they
are Of one thought when it comes
to manifesting a respect for the
calling, and they will not be pa
tient with those who seek by
their words to bring that calling
into disrepute. Therefore when
the governor on the hustings
says there are preachers who
have more negro blood in their
veins than the boy who was
lynched, he should have specif-
ed if the possession of this blood
had any connection with the res
olutions which condemned him,
and theiynchers; if the posses
sion of negro blood was infuen-
tial in the framing and the adop.
ton Of those resolutions then the
governor should have pointed
out those who were Influenced
because negro blood flowed
through their veins, otherwise
his assertion is a reflection upon
many ministers, especially those
who condemn the cowardly con-
duct of those who engaged in the
horrible crime.
We should like Governor
Blease to make a public utter
ance which is free from the sen
sational. for instance, say some.
thing which has the sound Of
wisdom, and not always be strik
ing back at those who are pes
tering him. His position is big
enough for him to afford not to
turn and snap at his enemies
when they kick sand at him.
