CHRISTMAS WREATHS.


Here's prettiness.
The holly wreath leads.
Southern laurel is beautiful.
California pepper berries serve to
adorn.
Scotch leather rs one of the pretty
wreath materials.
Red immortelles will at least never
blush unseen.
Lycopodium is often used with very
good effects for wreaths.
But, after all. holly is first favorite,
with it's lovely bright red berries.
The gay bow of holly red satin rib
bon is the usual finish, though 1t should
not be used with berries of the Califor.
mia pepper tree.

One egg. one cup of sugar, one cup

whose face is the very finest type of
gentility, high character, integrity and
kindliness, it is y. J. Griffith OF Lex
ington. The State of South Carolina
has great reason TO be p-oud of such a
man, not for what he has accomplished
so much as for what. he is. There is
no alloy in his soul, it is pure gold.

years ago I moved and am now living
on Hollow Creek, in this county.
.Ascouple miles from the old home
stead stands the old church where
father aud mother worshipped as they
had been taught by their parents be-
fore them. Nearby is the family GEM

is mortal of their bodies. [ stood by
their graves in mute silence and my
mind ran back to the time when they
were young and engaged in life's fierce
struggle. / remomber that. it was
struggle, but through it all they
brought us up and gave US good, relig-
ious training, which I am and ever
will be proud of. They survived all
the panics and misfortunes that crossed
their path and lived through happy
old age until the summons came for
them to cross over the river into that
great bey ond, which they did in the
full hope of a better life.
The old home, oh, the old home!
What a JOY to visit it! Many scenes
loomed up before my mind and caused
it to run back and recall many scenes
and recollections which happened on
our childish Fairgrounds.
Then the brothers and sisters; where
are they? Some are still living, while
others are dead.
Well, Mr.. Editor, for fear I may
take up too much Of your valuable

find its way to the trash basket may

readers of The Dispatch to write sim

they see anything in the paper they
are as anxious to know who wrote it

ID. j. GRIFFITH, "A MAN.
Anderson Mail Pays Fine
Tribute to LeXingtOn'S
MonOred Son.

LOnnie Hall, the man whom Cover
nor Blease paroled, received his prison
sentence about as much ca account cf
his general reputation as On account Of
the evidence in the particular case. If
Governor Blease had wished to hear al
the matters bearing on this Case, he
might have got some enlightenment
from Detective Ford OF other officers
OF the Columbia police force. Hall
had the name of being hard man to
handle, a trouble maker and a stub
born person in combat.
The charge against the penitentiary
authorities made by Morgan Thrailkill
and Lonnie Hall was hardly worthy of
credence, but now that it has been
made an issue, let the responsibility
be placed. If Capt. Roberts and DR..
Jennings are as lacking in the ordina
ry elements Of manhood as these con-
victs allege, let them be PUNISHED.
The law surely guarantees even con-
vic5 some rights. But it is rather diff
cult for US to consent to consider this
matter seriously. The penitentiary ad-
ministration of South Carolina has for
FIVE years or longer had the respect of
the humane people of the country.
Capt D. J. Griffith received on all
sides congratulations upon being the
first to construct a tuberculosis hos
pital for state prison. It was Capt.
Griffith who tore down the bleak and
damp and deathly building with cells
exposed to wind and rain and had it
replaced with a modern building all of
whose cells open upon a comfortable
central court.
Capt. Griffith found the Institution
bankrupt. He has made improve
ments gradually. All of these things
cannot be done at once. The trans
nogrif3cation Of the State prison is
gradual process.
There is one custom which is said to
be permitted in rare cases. to use a
leather strap upon rebeilious and re-
calcitrant prisoners. 1t sounds ba-ba-
rous-but what is to be done? We
cannot believe that the prisoners are
injured. With all of the terrible beat
ings that Lonnie Hall is said to have
received, it does seem that some marks
on his person would show. And yet
the governor does not say Of his own
observation that Lonnic Hall was mis-
treatet.

section of the State. The people are
of German decent and keep up the
thrifty ways of their ancestors. In
some neisnborhoods tncy raise on
their own farms all home supplies and
buy none of the substantials from
abroad. They raise wheat and have
neighborhood mills to grind the golden
grain into pure, sweet flour. They
contribute nothing worth while to the
$40, 100000 other South Carolinians 5
pay annually for foreign flour.

For Saner Thoughts.
ra the editor of The Dispatch:

TO the Editor Of The Dispatch:
We see so much trashy literature
nowadays that tend to debase rather
than elevate the young mind, such as
political dirt, free bridges and one and
thousand things. Now, Mr.. Editor,
let's see If we can't change the tide
somewhat, or at least to some extent.
I am writing this from the old home
mot the old homestead of my grand
father, the memories of which are
still fresh and fills my heart with glad
ness-but the home which my father
bought Ii what is known as the sand
hills more than a half century ago
after coming from the famous old
county of Newberry, where he lived
and died in said sand hills. It belongs
now to my brother next Oldest, to me.
Many changes have been wrought in
these many years, yet there are many
familiar old land marks. Small bushes
laye grown into large trees, which
furnish friendly shade during the hot
summer days, and g shelter for the
sparrows who fight among their
branches Tor roosting place as the
fading light of day kisses farewell
to the shadows of the night.
The roads are unchanged and along
their sides are the great oaks, familiar
landmarks of the past. But the peo-
pie, oh, the people who lived there
then! where are they now? Where
are the children who came 70 school
to me nearly a half century ago? Some
have moved to distant lands, others
have lied and others are left to greet
nae when 60 there.
There are only a few of the old resi-
aenters left; the young people of the
past are the middle-aged and the old
Of the present. Another generation
has taken their places. Thus the null
titude goes like flower that wlthers
ayay to let Others succeed.
Thus the multitude comes, even those
We behold.
To repeat every tale that has ever
been told. ,.
There is no death! The stars 80 down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermo'e.
There is no death! the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away,
They only wait through wi'try fours'
The warm, sweet breath OF May.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, I spent all my life
in that community with the exception
Of q few years that I spent in the Civil
War, as you know; for you and stt Oh
